Once it discovered that small-caliber cartridges don't work very well on large-caliber men, the U.S. government set out find a brand new service pistol. The .38 Long Colt's failure during the Moro dustup, followed by the Thompson–LaGarde Tests of 1904, caused it to come to the conclusion that an effective fighting-handgun cartridge should be .45-caliber. The government already knew that from decades of using the .45 Colt, but it needed a modern upgrade in both the cartridge and the gun. Read More

I first started putting nose prints on the glass of gun- store display counters in the mid- to late-1980s, before I was even old enough to buy a handgun from an FFL. I'd purchased a Ruger 10/22 and a couple 25-round magazines, which was practically the Official Firearm-Owner Starter Kit in those days (and arguably still is), but I was already planning what would be my first handgun when I turned 21.

I hit the range the other day with four drills to run through. I recognize that, on a really good day, my handgun shooting might rise to the level of merely awful, rather than its usual horrific. I also realize that shooting skills are quite perishable, and it's often a fair amount of time between my dedicated range sessions. With a limited amount of time, ammunition and range availability, I wanted to maximize my time behind the trigger as best I could. I chose these four drills as a decent spread of the handgun-shooting world. Read More

An increasingly popular shooting genre has been quietly added to the shooting world. The traditional categories of defensive shooting and competitive shooting have recently been expanded to a triumvirate including performance shooting. How does this trending category impact the other two and why is it a force to be reckoned with in the action-shooting community? The answer to this relevant question can only be ascertained with clarity of definition. Read More

It could be argued that the 6 mm PPC, which was created in the mid-1970s by Dr. Louis Palmisano and Ferris Pindell, began the evolution of the precision-rifle cartridge. The 6 mm PPC was a .220 Russian cartridge case necked up to 6 mm. The body taper was reduced and it was also given a 30-degree shoulder. It immediately began winning benchrest matches. That was nearly a half-century ago and since then, particularly in the last decade, we've seen a lot of advancement regarding the modern precision-rifle cartridge. Read More

Compact and subcompact concealed carry pistols get a lot of press these days, with the rising popularity of personal protection and wider availability of larger capacity magazines in some smaller guns. But, what if you want to carry a full-sized pistol instead? Or what about a good handgun for home protection or duty carry? Read More

Just the other day I saw a report of a man who was killed by a black bear that came into his campsite to make the attack. While the details of that incident are still being investigated, suffice it to say that attacks, sometimes deadly attacks, are made by wild animals. In my opinion, this does not occur very often; but it does occur. Read More

In order for practice to be effective, it has to be realistic. This is an underlying theme in all forms of shooting and applies equally to all disciplines, whether it is competition or life-or-death training. Therefore, dipping a toe into the other shooting sports can sometimes introduce you to products and practices that you would have never normally considered for your particular brand of gun ownership.

Experienced concealed carriers know that department-store belts aren't the best option for everyday carry. In many cases, a belt designed just to hold up your pants isn't stiff enough or strong enough to bear the weight of a gun, holster, and spare magazine (you do carry a spare magazine, right?) all day.

Stoeger is a name that should be familiar to most gun owners. While most people associate that name with well-built, value-priced shotguns, the fact is, Stoeger has also made some rather nice handguns. The Stoeger Cougar 8000 had a rotating-barrel action which reduced felt recoil and offered you a high-quality pistol for an entry-level price. Read More
