Ten Great 10mm Ammo Choices

With law-enforcement agencies moving away from the .40 S&W and going back to the 9 mm, the .40's future is cloudy. For those who don't follow cartridge history closely, the .40 S&W is really nothing more than a 10 mm light load wearing a different dress. More than anything else, it is a compromise cartridge that attempts to balance the power of the .45 ACP with the capacity of the 9 mm. Read More

Tech Wisdom: The Safety Check

Tech Wisdom: The Safety Check

This might be a dumb question about how a gun works, but it's a subject I do not know and I should if I am going to be around guns. My boyfriend is a gun guy and spends a lot his free of time at the gun shop and at the range with his buddies. After accompanying him to the shop to look at a new gun, and then to the range to watch him do some shooting later in the day, I noticed that he was almost fanatical with checking the gun's status.

The Cardinal Rules of Defensive Shotgunning

In baseball, there are cardinal rules that every player learns from a good coach: Never strike out looking, never give up a walk with two outs if you're a pitcher and never be the first or third out at third base—that sort of thing.

Review: SecureIt Answer 8 Pro Gun Safe

Review: SecureIt Answer 8 Pro Gun Safe

When your address changes, so does your home-security plan. A little more than a year ago my wife and I found the perfect house, with property that we could only dream of owning. Everything was picturesque, until we realized that we wouldn't be able to maneuver our monster safe up the stairs to our new bedroom. One of the challenges of getting things into the upper levels of our new home is the tight staircases that it was built with. Read More

.38 Special vs 9mm In Snub Nosed Revolvers

.38 Special vs 9mm In Snub Nosed Revolvers

.38 Special enjoys much fame, as one of the most classic modern revolver cartridges. On the other hand, 9mm revolvers are a bit of an anomaly, as that round was designed around semi-auto pistols. However, 9mm is the world's most popular pistol round, which means that the round is extremely easy to come by and merits some further attention when it comes to snub nosed revolvers. Read More
