As all of us who experience this "mortal coil" eventually learn, the days seem more fleeting with each passing year. For those of us who make a living observing and reporting about the firearm industry, they eventually result in a somewhat disorganized pile of memories about companies, products and the people who create them. Some become icons that engrave themselves onto our minds, becoming representative of a brand—even an entire product category. Read More

For several years now, I've had the following item on my shooting sports bucket list: to assemble a rifle, suppressor and ammunition set that could be 'Hollywood Quiet' using readily available commercial products. I've heard folks talk about just how hushed the report of a .22 LR rifle can be. But I wanted to hear it for myself and do it with a bit of class.

It fairly well mirrors the .357 Mag., and its recoil is much milder than stout .44 Mag. loads, making it useful for fast follow-up shots. Read More
