Proving once again that CrossBreed Holsters has the inside track on every new handgun launch, the leading holster designer and manufacturer has already introduced holsters designed for the Springfield Hellcat micro-compact semi-auto pistol. Eight holsters, in fact, five of which are for inside-the-waistband (IWB), and three are for outside-the-waistband (OWB). The Hellcat, which was only…
Who knew that “domestic terrorists” have lawyers and a copy of the Bill of Rights? It’s a sad day for America when it becomes necessary to employ a very expensive team of lawyers to explain to a government body (in this case, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors) that the first two Amendments to the Constitution…
Taurus, the Brazil-based gun manufacturer, just announced that the latest extension to their G-series line is shipping to dealers now and will be available to consumers within the next few days. The gun, called the G3, is a full-sized 9mm striker-fired pistol that the company created in response to shooters who wanted to see a…
Self-defense is a human right, and you don’t lose it if you are, or become, disabled. Ask any law-enforcement officer about the quality of criminals these days, and they’ll tell you: The vast majority of them aren’t exactly evil geniuses, a la Professor Moriarty, nor are they particularly brave. In general, two-legged predators are very…

Whichever category you fall into, FalconStrike USA has just introduced an entirely new kind of solution to your hard-kickin’ shootin’ iron, a revolutionary hydraulic recoil pad. This technology originally made its debut in the aerospace industry, but it works…
Is it getting a little expensive to feed your AR-15? Rock River Arms, famous for their accurate and reliable modern sporting rifles, recently introduced a new line of AR-15-style rifles chambered in .22LR, the LAR-22 series. It’s certainly a concept you’ve heard before–all the sleek lines and handling of a black gun minus the recoil…
James Bond may have made the Walther PPK a household name, but the credit for its enduring popularity is due entirely to the company. Part of the formula is innovation, and true to form, Walther just released a new member of their PPK family, a stainless version in .380 ACP. It’s shipping now and should…
Ugh, Bertram, can you believe The Poors think they have a right to self-defense? Yesterday, 145 CEOs of some of America’s largest corporations sent a joint letter to Congress demanding more of what the anti-gunners have always insisted they want: “commonsense gun laws [SIC].” Those of us who have been watching gun-rights news for longer…
In the words of past NRA president John Sigler: They don’t hate your guns. They hate you. On September 11, 2001, America learned first-hand what it was like to be targeted by terrorists; 18 years later, the City of San Francisco decided that the NRA is pretty much the same thing as Al-Qaeda. It’s the…
I may be hard as woodpecker lips, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love an easy slide. Shooters with arthritis and other hand problems will be excited to learn that SCCY Firearms has recently announced a new semi-automatic handgun designed for concealed carry: the new CPX-4. This pistol, chambered in .380 AUTO, integrates an ambidextrous…
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?
