If you would have told me we would see millions of new gun owners over the last few years, I probably would have rolled my eyes at you. Yet, here we are, welcoming so many new friends and family members to the world of shooting. The sport of shooting has been around for a long time, and there are many different paths within the shooting world; self-defense is only one of them. Read More

Long before we enjoyed our modern sporting rifles and polymer-frame handguns, there was one gun that reigned supreme: the lever gun. They have been the heart of America since the mid-1800s. The first lever-actions to hit the market were Henrys and Winchesters, and as the cliché goes, the rest is history. The lever gun's impact on American history cannot be understated, and it continues to be a popular firearm today. Read More

My mother and father grew up on farms. As a child, whenever my family visited our aunts and uncles on their farms, there would inevitably be spontaneous canning sessions and berry-picking outings that resulted in pantries and larders stocked with months worth of food (Side note: You've heard the phrase "Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off"? There's a reason why that phrase exists. Trust me on this.). Read More

The second installment of this series will use the Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit Qualification Course as the basis for structuring a live-fire practice session. The Louisiana course itself is fairly simple, as most CCW qualification courses are. Some variations are included in this article to increase the course's value as practice for self-defense and personal protection. Read More

Expert marksmanship requires the seamless integration of visual acuity and mechanical body control. A shooter's eyes and posture must operate in perfect synchrony to hit targets with minimal MOA accuracy, especially at extreme distances and/or high-performance speeds. As firearm technology, vision aids and training techniques progress, marksmen are achieving unprecedented accuracy through the complete fusion of visual acuity and bodily mechanics. Read More

It's very easy to fall into a rut with the shooting sports. We go to the same ranges. We shoot the same matches with the same gun. Because we crave positive reinforcement, we tend to shoot the drills we're good at, over and over again. This can lead to stagnation and complacency. We're comfortable inside our bubbles, and we're good at shooting (at least as far as we know). Why should we change? Read More

My dictionary defines the term purpose-built as, "something made to serve a specific purpose." While virtually any commercially produced arm can be adapted for use on the battlefield, others are designed and custom built from the ground up, made for a specific task. One good example is clandestine operations. Read More

I will confess that I am a bit of a flashlight nerd. Before this modern age of LED bulb and lithium-ion batteries, I had a AA-powered Maglite in my pocket at every waking moment, then graduated on to other brighter lights as they became available. I consider a bright light to be an essential element of my everyday carry, which is why I was particularly interested when Nightstick sent me a selection of its lights to take a look at and put to the test.

Perhaps JRR Tolkien was on to something. Can "one ring to rule them all" be true in the holster world? Can one single solitary holster meet all your gun-carrying needs? CrossBreed's N8 Tactical division seems to think so, or at least that's what they appear to claim with the new MultiFlex holster. Read More

In a world where actors burst on the scene and are never heard from again, Kevin Sorbo has had a career in Hollywood that spans decades. He gained fame playing the title role in the syndicated TV series "Hercules," which was the #1 tv show in the world for many years. He followed up that success with sci-fi tv show "Andromeda," which was originally conceptualized by the legendary Gene Roddenberry. Read More

We've gone with a somewhat unorthodox choice for today's kit in the Smith & Wesson model 43C. For starters, it's an eight-shot .22LR, which wouldn't be my first choice for a concealed-carry pistol, but there are plenty of folks out there that prefer the simplicity of a revolver for a number of reasons. The rimfire chambering, again, not ideal as a defensive round, might appeal to shooters who have extreme aversion to recoil. Read More

For 2024, Smith & Wesson revamped its affordable SD9 series by introducing the new Smith & Wesson SD9 2.0 pistol. Like its predecessor, the new SD9 2.0 wears the familiar two-tone silver and black livery and still represent Smith & Wesson's value proposition as a no-frills defensive striker-fired handgun built around a polymer frame and a four-inch barrel.

The Staccato C is a 4-inch pistol that is small enough for concealed carry and big enough for on duty and home defense. Chambered in 9mm, it has a 4 inch bull barrel for accuracy, an aluminum frame for light weight and a crisp 4.5 pound trigger pull. Read More
