The latest NICS figures from the FBI say that last month a stout 2.3 million background checks were performed by the platform. Of course, those checks come from a lot of sources, but the National Shooting Sports Foundation sifted through the codes and found that over 1.1 million were likely for the retail sale of… Continue reading Gun Sales Still Booming

In what looks kind of like a disagreement between FN America and FN Herstal (i.e., Belgian FN), the latter debuted the new 15+1 capacity 9mm FN HiPer last week. The new gun is about the same size as the FN 509 Midsize which is made in the U.S. and is a little smaller than the… Continue reading FN Herstal Announces New HiPer pistol
