The AR pistol market got a huge shot in the arm when SIG released their arm brace. And the ATF had originally opined that shouldering the arm brace was beyond their control--an opinion that sold thousands of arm braces. Short barreled rifles became instantly irrelevant. But now, the ATF is singing a different tune, and offering a very different opinion. Read on...

FNH makes a competition shotgun? Indeed. The FNH SC-1 Over/Under is, you guessed it, a double-barrel beauty. It’s designed expressly for clays competition, although there is nothing about it that would discourage other uses. Personally, I wouldn’t hesitate to hunt ducks or geese with it. This is a versatile gun that can be tweaked for an exacting fit, and it is priced competitively, too.

So, this video's going viral around the firearms community. It appears that the girl firing the rifle had an issue with a squib load. That is, although she apparently cleared the casing, the projectile was still in the barrel. When she fired the second round, kaboom! It exploded.

This is not a knife snob article. I am a big fan of cheap knives, and I don’t consider them really that inferior. To some degree, a knife is a knife is a knife. The point of this article isn’t cost or quality. My question is what style of knife or short sword is best for a survival situation. On one person you can carry a big knife and a little knife, and maybe an even bigger knife on your back, but coupled with a battle rifle, a pistol, ammo and supplies, a lot of blades sticking out of your form isn’t going to be a net positive. You have to choose, and choose well.

I'm not ordering a medium shake to go with my medium fries today at lunch. I hate the middle ground. .40 S&W seems to me like a round that was designed by a well meaning committee who had to please everyoen--so no one came away with what they actually wanted. As for me, if I have a choice, I'm not riding the .40 Short Bus.

If we learned anything this past election it was that people aren’t as stupid as the politicians expect them to be.

Do you agree with self-defense expert Ryan Hoover that after disarming an armed attacker in a close quarters encounter, one shouldn't attempt to shoot the suspect with the suspect's handgun to neutralize the threat but instead should use the firearm as a blunt force implement?

When you think about it, we wear our guns a lot more than we shoot them, yet they are designed primarily for shooting. The new Taurus Curve fixes that. The grip on the gun is curved, so that when you were it on your hip or carry it in your pocket, the guns hugs the contour of your body. It is a 6+1 .380 ACP semi-automatic pistol with a consistent trigger pull for each shot. The MSRP for the introductory model is $392, and it will come with an integral LaserLyte light and laser combo built in. The Curve also comes with a Kydex pull-off trigger guard holster, and screwed onto the side of the gun is a steel clip for inside the waistband or inside a purse pocket carry.

Bigger is sometimes better. That's the philosphy behind the fixation with the AR-10. For a marginal increase in size and weight, you have a lot more punch on the terminal end of ballistic trajectory. CMMG's Mk 3 .308 is a beast of a gun, and offers AR speed and ergonomics for those who want more than the 5.56 can provide.

From what I can tell, nobody is going to send me a Facebook notification 24 hours before Russia, China, “terrorists” (ie. our own shadow government), or the US under official license launches a nuke. Radiation is silent once you are outside the blast radius of a nuclear bomb, so unless news of the blast makes it onto Drudge, how would you even know that a blast has occurred? Up until now we have focused our attention on Geiger tube radiation meters, but I recently found out that those meters tend to BLANK OUT at radiation levels that aren’t even on the level of a CT scan. For this article I consulted with Shane Connor, owner of the famous radiation site KI4U.com. I bought potassium iodide from him and had him calibrate my Civil Defense meter back in the 90s. He is still doing it today, and he calibrated four meters for us for this article.
