It is outrageous that there is not more public outcry about the New York state government's attempt to destroy a 150-plus-year-old civil-rights association — yes, our National Rifle Association. "Destroy" is not hyperbole. Read More

This year marks the 125th anniversary of the .38 Spl. From the beginning of Prohibition until nearly the close of the 20th century, it was one of the most popular cartridges for law enforcement. When I was hired as a police officer in 1992, I was issued a .357 Mag. revolver, but during training we shot a lot of .38 Spl. ammo that recoiled a helluva lot less. Read More

Trijicon launched its new RCR today. What's that? Well, it stands for Ruggedized Closed Reflex, and it's Trijicon's answer to the enclosed emitter. Why an enclosed emitter? Well, some folks, rightly, are concerned that, hey, if you're out in rain, snow or just dirty, dusty environments, you might get something between the light emitter and the glass lens that would block the dot. With an enclosed emitter, that's not going to happen. Read More

Rewind the clock thirty years, and a optically sighted rifle was a rare thing indeed. However, the shrinking cost of producing rugged reliabile electronics and the availability of high-quality optical glass means that a quality optic is within just about everybody's price range. Add in the flat-top A2 upper receiver and the standardization of the Picatinny mount, and all of a sudden adding a optical sight to your rifle makes a lot of sense, for not a lot of cents. Read More

The specification sheet for nearly any riflescope made today will have a field for parallax. It will either say that parallax is adjustable and list the adjustment range (in terms of distance from something comparatively close to infinity) or note that the parallax is fixed at a particular distance, usually between 100 and 200 yards.

The once-moribund 10mm has quietly made a comeback of sorts. While the .45 ACP is now sometimes referred to as the ".45 AARP," the 10 mm is a sure way of one-upping the 9 mm crowd. It connotes a veteran shooter, that you are strong or tough enough to deal with the kick, or that you regularly encounter threats beyond those that can be adequately dealt with by the ubiquitous 9 mm.

While I'm a huge fan of AR-15 platform rifles, I've always felt the weak link here was the bolt charging handle. It's not only possible to bend that handle when charging the rifle, the whole pull back approach to charging can be very awkward. Read More

We may not think of fine wines very often when talking about concealed carry holsters, but just like fine wine pairs well with certain food, fine leather holsters pair well with the matching belt. No, it's not all about the fashion statement. It's more about function. But why not look good while protecting yourself? Read More

Did you know that elite-level sprinters train about 20 hours per week? That means an average of more than 1,000 hours per year. In addition to practicing on the track to measure speed, they add in plyometrics and high-velocity strength training to increase their force production. Read More

It occurred to me the other day that a younger Millennial or a Zoomer (or anyone who's only been into guns for a few years), provided they hang out in the more clueful corners of the Gunternet, has no memory of The Great Caliber Wars. Anyway, for the most part the caliber wars are over and 9 mm won. Read More

I make it a point to study reports of armed citizens who are forced to defend themselves from criminal attacks. In addition to this, I pay attention to comments about defense guns and personal defense from folks on social media. While I often get some good, useful ideas from these, I also see some mistakes that are all too common. Read More

SIG Sauer's P320X Compact offers the same size and capacity as many other popular concealed-carry handguns, but with a host of upgraded features you might think would cost extra. There's an optics cut up top should you wish to add a red-dot sight; there's an accessory rail at the muzzle for a light, laser or combination thereof, SIG's excellent XRAY3 night sights adorn the slide and the upgraded, flatface trigger offers a crisp, clean break.
