After 30 years of dedicated service, I would expect there to be more ardent defenders of the Beretta M9. Yet the pernicious rumors refuse to die. So what's the truth? Well, as Mark Twain once said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

Shooting History. This is the name of a new series that we will be running here at Guns America. We will take some historic guns, shoot them and review them not too much unlike our new gun reviews. It was seeing the new production Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless at SHOT Show this year that got me to thinking, so, it makes sense to kick it off with an antique 1903.

Bravo Concealment has a two clip holster design that makes in waistband concealed carry effortless. The Drop Out of Sight. The use of two clips keeps the girth under control, and spreads out the weight. Is this the answer for IWB carry of heavy pistols?

The Kimber Solo is a gun that stirs up some debate. When the pistol debuted, Kimber took some flak because the Solo wouldn't work reliably with all types of 9mm ammunition. Those of us who demand reliabilty from our carry guns approached the Solo skeptically. And that's how I began this. So how do the new Solos stand up? Read our review.

Trapping is always a very sensitive subject. What is the purpose of a trap, whether for a man or animal? I think mostly it is so you can catch something or someone without having to be there. Sure, silence is also an issue. In a survival situation, silence is golden. In the mountains a .22 rimfire will echo for miles, and even in the flatlands, a knowing ear will be able to single it out in a suddenly very quiet, collapsed world. But though you can kill with both a bow and a suppressed firearm, you still have to be there. A trap, a good trap, removes that variable, and either stands guard for you or hunts for you while you are off doing other things.

I think the 300 AAC Blackout caliber was really made for short barrels. Don’t get me wrong, I have a 300 Blackout AR-type rifle with a 16-inch barrel and love it. I just think the flexibility of the caliber really shines in short and compact configurations. And the CMMG MK4 Pistol is a solid option.
