FN Reflex: A Micro-Compact For The Masses

.45 Colt/.410 Bore Handguns Versus Non-NFA Shotguns

Among my favorite shooting-sports hobbies is exploring the performance potential of the more unusual handguns in the marketplace. Itty bitty 'mouse guns,' the big-bore snubby revolvers, uncommon grip frame configurations and some of the downright unusual designs have all caught my eye over the years. And if I had a vote, I would love to see more unique guns in production like the H&R Model 999 break-top revolver. Read More

Short End Of The Stick: The Reising Submachine Gun

Infantrymen often have conflicting feelings about the arms they are issued. A good example is the famed M1 Garand rifle. Many recruits complained about the rifle's weight, its eight-round en bloc clip, its propensity to inflict the painful "M1 thumb" on untrained users, along with other real or perceived deficiencies.

Review: Kimber Micro 9 ESV (MC)(TP)

Review: Kimber Micro 9 ESV (MC)(TP)

Although there are many ways to reduce muzzle flip, none will likely ever be as effective as a compensator. Such a device harnesses and re-directs excess gas from a fired cartridge and uses it to drive the firearm's nose downward. While wildly popular on the competitive circuit, pistols wearing compensators are seldom seen on the hips of armed defenders. Read More

Handloads: A Faster .35 Whelen

Handloaders are always on the watch for new bullets or propellants that improve the performance of their favorite cartridges.
