Who knew that being a domestic terrorist would come with sweet discounts? Howdy-do, my fellow domestic terrorists! Just in case you hadn’t heard, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors–in their infinite wisdom–recently announced that, as far as they’re concerned, the NRA is a domestic terrorist organization. (Which isn’t fair at all…I personally have yet to…
Is this move away from ammo and gun sales politically motivated, or is it something simpler? We’ve recently heard that, in the wake of a mass shooting in Texas, Walmart has announced that they intend to stop selling handguns in Alaska (the only state in which they still sell them) as well as a wide…
One of the best things about the love affair America has with our AR-15 rifles is that, as time goes by, top-quality manufacturers like Rock River Arms have begun creating affordable black rifles like the brand-new RRAGE 3G. No, that’s not a typo–there are two R’s for Rock River–and with an MSRP of $820, you…
If there’s anything more reassuring than cocking back the hammer on a Colt revolver and listening for the four clicks (they spell c-o-l-t, don’t you know), it’s knowing that with all of these line extensions to the Colt Cobra series that the company is going to keep making them for a good long while. When…
Fewer than three weeks remain before the ribbon-cutting at the upcoming NRA Personal Protection Expo, set to take place Sept. 6-8, 2019 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Billed as the nation’s premier event for personal protection, concealed carry, and home defense products and education, this year will mark the first…
My sides hurt, my cheeks ache, and I can’t draw a full breath…all thanks to these nimrods. Every election season, the anti-gunners vie to see who can say the dumbest things about guns and gun rights–and every time, I fail to take the necessary precautions to safeguard my sides against the gales of uncontrollable laughter…
The Scout was built to Gunsite founder Jeff Cooper’s exacting specs…and yours. The Scout rifle by Steyr is everything that a modern rifle should be, but it’s definitely a splurge…unless, of course, you live within driving distance of Steyr Arms US’ corporate headquarters in Bessemer, Alabama. If you do, then you really should know that…
Shooting’s more fun when you’ve got a good grip on your gun. AR-15s and AR-10s are some of the most ergonomic rifles in the world, but since when have we Americans settled for “almost the best”? As an all-American country created and staffed entirely by folks who are gun enthusiasts and veterans, ERGO Grips gets…
There’s nothing that brings a flood of adrenaline and fear like being shaken awake in the middle of the night–Honey, I heard something downstairs–but for Holosun optics, it’s the moment for which they were created. They call it Shake Awake technology, and it means that you’ll never have to worry about discovering that your red-dot,…
Oh look, anti-gunners don’t like small, local businesses either. Shocker! Gun banners have learned that most Americans don’t like the idea of making it illegal to purchase firearms, which clearly gives them a bad case of indigestion. It’s a tough onion to swallow for them. Rather than pop a Tums, they instead try to find…
The 1911 is a fantastic firearm, no question, but it can be hard to conceal… The 1911 design has undergone very few significant changes since it was first brought to market over a century ago, and for very much the same reason that sharks haven’t evolved since the Devonian era: They were made perfectly the…
If it’s good enough for the IDF, it’s good enough for me. The story of the Siege of Masada has echoed through the generations for the last two millennia as an example of self-sacrificing bravery…so only Israeli Weapons Industries (IWI) could be the group to bring us a pistol bearing that name: the MASADA 9mm….
