From a hillside outside of Jackson, Wyoming, a team of extreme long-range shooters and spotters were able to (eventually) lob a round into the 8-inch bullseye of a target set up some 23,322 feet, or just over 4.4 miles, away. The shooters, Scott Austin and Shepard Humphries of Nomad Rifleman, used a custom long-range rifle… Continue reading Team uses one-of-a-kind 416 Barrett rifle to reach 4.4 miles

Those Italian shotgun experts in Gardone have flexed their way to another interesting modern design with classic styling: the Ultraleggero. A 12 gauge double-barreled over-and-under design whose selling point is that it uses a steel receiver and barrels but still hits the scales with a fighting weight in the 6-pound range, as you may have… Continue reading Beretta Goes Ultralight, or we should say, Ultraleggero

All you have to do is tune in to any national media source to see gun control orgs nationwide sing the praises of a decision by a Swiss financial industry standards group to establish a new merchant code, or MCC, for credit cards use in relation to those who sell of guns and ammunition. Groups… Continue reading Are Credit Cards Tracking Guns and Ammo Sales Now?

British gunmaker W.W. Greener first marketed 28-gauge shotguns back in the 1880s and they were exceedingly popular in Europe for taking small, nimble game such as quail, pheasant, and rabbit. While over on this side of the pond the smaller .410 bore filled this role while larger 20-, 16-, 12-, and 10-gauge shells took care… Continue reading Beretta says 28 Gauge isn’t Dead

Shadow Systems of Plano, Texas has been beating the drum of better Glock clones since 2016 with their (now discontinued) MR918 series and its follow-on DR/MR920s in Combat and Elite formats, the latter of which had all the Gucci high-speed features like compensators, gold barrels, and window-cut slides. The thing is that their Elite series… Continue reading Foundation: Shadow Systems Makes a More Affordable Elite Series

Beretta has slowly been transitioning everything 92 series related to the new 92X format since it was introduced a couple of years ago. The newest entry in this is an Italian-made 92X Performance model built to comply with the USPSA’s Carry Optic division standards. Logically dubbed the 92X Performance Carry Optic, the new gun is… Continue reading Beretta has a new 92: The 92X Performance Carry Optic

Ruger long made an SR-25/AR-10 style 7.62 NATO-chambered rifle, the SR762. However, like most guns in that caliber, it was heavy, pushing almost 9 pounds unloaded and without optics, even with a short 16-inch barrel. Well, the company is back with something much more interesting now in the Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle or SFAR. Introduced in… Continue reading Ruger Goes Small in a Battle Rifle Caliber

A controversial figure in the firearms industry, James Yeager and his Tennessee-based Tactical Response training school was polarizing to many. Love him or hate him, Yeager announced his fight with ALS earlier this year and it was announced last week that he passed. The news brought tributes and salutes from across the larger gun community… Continue reading James Yaeger has passed

Taurus is getting to be about as bad as Sig Sauer when it comes to making very incremental changes to an existing model (look! it’s brown now!). Not content to let its excellent little sleeper micro 9mm GX4 pistol just continue finding its way into people’s hands, the company just released a new and improved… Continue reading Taurus (Gently) Stretches the GX4 to Make the GX4xl

Single-action 1911-format pistols with a double-stack (rather than single-stack) magazine are not a new thing. Heck, it could be argued that’s all the Browning Hi-Power is, just with a few tweaks. Para-Ordnance back in the 1980s and 1990s made a name in the above format long before STI International’s VIP and 5.0 series race guns… Continue reading Springfield Armory 1911 Doublestack: Meet the Prodigy
