Ruger introduced its very modern Precision Rifle line in 2015 to provide a highly-accurized offering with a big name for those interested in reaching out to 1K yards and beyond. Bolt guns with as much AR interchangeability as possible– such as grips and a stock hinge that accepts AR buffer tubes and thus AR stocks–… Continue reading Ruger’s New Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor

Both the Australian and Canadian military have been using the Browning Hi-Power to fill their respective sidearm needs for generations. Both British Commonwealth countries followed the lead of London, which used the same well-traveled and dependable 13+1 shot single action 9mm throughout most of the Cold War. Well, Britain replaced the BHP with Glock back… Continue reading Sig Wins Big in Australia and Canada

Long just seen in obscure action flicks like Travolta’s 2010 opus “From Paris with Love” and on the competition pistol circuit– particularly in the hands of Team Sig’s Max Michel back in the day– the P226 X-Five was super tough to get. After all, the longslide SAO pistol, complete with a 5-inch barrel and bespoke… Continue reading Sig Sauer Reboots the P226 X-Five

Henry Repeating Arms, which dates to Benjamin Tyler Henry’s famed self-named rifle back in 1860, vanished from the American firearms landscape shortly after Abraham Lincoln saw his last play. However, the name and the classic lever-action cowboy guns were resurrected by the Imperato family of New Jersey in the 1990s and have never been larger.… Continue reading Henry Celebrates 25 years

Introduced earlier this year, the Hellcat Pro from Springfield Armory is a neat little micro 9mm subcompact that, had it not been for the introduction of the new Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro soon afterward, would surely have made more of a splash. The little 15+1 capacity pistol is optics ready and actually a little smaller… Continue reading Springer now includes a Shield Red Dot with the Hellcat Pro

The Browning Hi Power was killed off by FN in 2017, and all that did was that kick off a race by other companies to do it better and cheaper than the Belgians ever dreamed. Springfield introduced their $699 SA-35 variant (at the same time the Tisas Regent disappeared), while EAA started bringing in pallets… Continue reading New EAA MC P35 OPS Optic Adds Optics Cut to Hi Power

The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers, kind of the smaller, quieter brother of the NSSF, has crunched the data and found that sales of “Micro 9” pistols– you know, the Taurus GX4, Springfield Armory Hellfire, Ruger MAX-1, and so forth– are steadily climbing the charts.

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?
