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….
Remember these the next time a gun-banner says, “If it only saves one life…” Speaking that phrase–“if it only saves one life, won’t it be worth it?”–is quite possibly the best way to give me a pulsing forehead vein, because the fact of the matter is that bad gun laws kill good people. They don’t…
When SIG SAUER introduced their P365 pistol in January 2018, it raised the bar for concealed-carry striker-fired pistols everywhere, hitting the gun-sales charts at #1 with a bullet (so to speak). But SIG refuses to rest on their laurels, and has just released a brand-new version of the P365: the P365 XL. This big brother…
I promise I won’t shine it in my buddies’ eyes for a laugh. (Again.) The folks at Viridian Weapon Technologies recently introduced a new line of long-range illuminators that have put my poor suffering wallet on notice that I’m about to abuse it–as well as the patience of my friends–again. You’ll notice that I haven’t…
The National Rifle Association has announced that tickets are now on sale for their upcoming Personal Protection Expo, which is scheduled for Sept. 6-8, 2019 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. If you don’t recognize the name of the Expo, that’s because it was previously known as Carry Guard (and the…
Why is it the “feminist allies” who are always the biggest creeps? The next presidential election is slouching towards Bethlehem, and so far the rough beast at the head of the pack is good ol’ “Sideshow Joe” Biden. Not all Democrats are gun-grabbers, but all of the current candidates are…and Biden is not only the…
Will you be ready when you hear something go “bump” in the night? All right, so you like to shoot. You’ve got a gun. And you keep it somewhere in your house because someday you may need to defend your loved ones when something goes “bump” in the night. But do you truly know what…
Would it be weird if I bought a gun just because I love the name? Faxon Firearms has taken the next logical step for a manufacturer of quality rifle and pistol parts: They’ve created and are now selling firearms of their own. Their debut? Two brand-new 9mm semi-automatic handguns with names so badass I’m tempted…
Are you on the lookout for an everyday carry knife that’s tactical and practical? Whether you’re looking to add an edged weapon to your everyday carry (EDC) rig, or you just want to have a knife that will always be handy for whatever everyday task, you may find that Bear & Son Cutlery’s brand-new Bear…
Hint: It does not involve arguing on the Internet. That’s just for fun. A few days ago, I wrote a post about the six types of anti-gunners and how to spot them. One commenter–whom I’m not picking on, because he has a solid point–remarked that attempting to educate or inform an anti-gunner is generally a…
Everybody loves quick shot-to-shot follow-up, but not everyone loves (or can have) semi-autos. The curtain came up on a number of very interesting things at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this past weekend, but a new trend in long guns made a surprising debut: Henry Repeating Arms and Marlin both introduced new, updated versions…
