In 1996, Louis Imperato, along with his son, Anthony, launched Henry Repeating Arms in Brooklyn, N.Y. The company takes its name from Benjamin Tyler Henry, who patented his lever-action rifle in 1860, which was then manufactured by the New Haven Arms Co. from 1860 to 1866. Although today's company has no affiliation with the first rifles to bear the Henry moniker, it has grown into a leading provider of lever guns known for both their quality and diversity. Read More

John Browning's tilting barrel design, which uses a link or cam surface to disengage the barrel's locking surface from the slide, dominates the world of centerfire semi-automatic handguns. When announcing its new M&P 5.7 pistol earlier this year, Smith & Wesson touted the new handgun's "Tempo Barrel System" that uses a gas-operated action that is locked with a rotating barrel.

Today's polymer-frame, striker-fired 9 mm pistols are the go-to option for those in uniform and civilians alike. Compact, sub-compact, and the even smaller micro-compact sizes are popular because they provide a useful balance of ammunition capacity and performance. They can also be more comfortable to shoot than larger handgun calibers. Read More

While the .22 WMR, or .22 Magnum, cartridge has been around since the mid-20th century, it's largely been chambered in bolt-action rifles or revolvers. Because of the varied loadings available in .22 WMR, plus its long, rimmed design, building a reliable semi-automatic pistol chambered for the round is an engineering challenge. Walther decided to tackle the concept, and the WMP is built to be the most reliable .22 Mag. semi-auto pistol on the market. Watch the video above to learn all about Walther's WMP. Read More

When I glanced to my left, I recognized murder in motion. The brush cracked, giving way to a vicious sweep of horn carried on the business end of a Cape buffalo as he charged straight at us. Conscious thought did not interfere with the urgency of stopping the buff—as I pulled the trigger I knew there was no margin for error—he was too close. Read More

The advent of tank warfare during World War I introduced a totally new battlefield threat to the infantryman. The first operational tank was fielded by the British during the Battle of the Somme in September 1916, and the French developed their own tanks in the spring of 1917. Although slow-moving and plagued by mechanical difficulties, these early tanks struck fear in the average German soldier who was duly surprised by the appearance of the iron behemoths. Read More

Possibly the only topic to generate more arguments than politics is the never-ending discussion of what qualifies as the "best" home-defense gun. The truth of the matter is, no single shooting solution meets the needs of every individual or household. Every firearm is an exercise in compromise. Each platform has limitations to be considered carefully when making a choice. Read More
