Review: KelTec KSG410

Review: KelTec KSG410

At the beginning of 2023, KelTec fulfilled a frequent and long-standing customer request by releasing the new KSG410 shotgun chambered for .410-bore shells. Although it did take more than a decade to bring a scaled-down, .410-chambered version of the KSG bullpup to market, the company's efforts have resulted in a new model that maintains the original 12-ga. version's features while resulting in a gun that weighs 24 ozs. less, offers reduced recoil and is priced 40 percent lower.

Accuracy-Testing Confederate Infantry Arms

Accuracy-Testing Confederate Infantry Arms

There is a story at West Point of a guest who asked a Southern cadet about a monument to the Union graduates killed in the Civil War. "A monument to the accurate shooting of the Confederate soldier, sir!" Taking that statement as you will, there is an element of truth in it. The rifled shoulder arm was first used as the basic weapon of the infantry in our Civil War. More Americans were killed at Sharpsburg on September 17, 1862, in a few hours, than in the first month of the Normandy invasion. The infantry musket and rifle produced most of these casualties.

Handloads: A .25 WSSM For Big Game

Handloads: A .25 WSSM For Big Game

Every so often, you'll meet hunters who still shoot a .25 Winchester Super Short Magnum and claim in superlative terms that the .25 WSSM is their favorite big-game cartridge. Unfortunately, too few of those hunters bought a Browning A-Bolt or Winchester Model 70 rifle chambered in the cartridge, because it never achieved much success after it was introduced in 2004.

Favorite Firearms: A Recovered Winchester Model 12

My dad gave me a Winchester Model 12 Featherweight for Christmas in 1966. He had instructed gunnery in Harlingen, Texas, during World War II, and my grandfather had given him a Model 12 Skeet gun upon his assignment there. So, he felt I needed my own Model 12. It served me well shooting trap and hunting, and I began reloading 12-ga. ammunition for it. Read More

1899: Year Of The Browning Pistol

1899: Year Of The Browning Pistol

From a marketing standpoint, the year 1899 must not have seemed very exciting, especially with the advent of a new century. But, in the history of semi-automatic pistols, it was monumental. It marked the world's introduction to the first Browning pistol, produced by Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium—and the first time a pistol was manufactured and sold featuring the revolutionary concept of a slide.
