Any of the .22 caliber single-action revolvers are fun plinkers. I like the Ruger Wrangler, but I prefer the Heritage Rough Riders. Heritage offers a variety of designs (I have a 9-shot with a 4" barrel and the snub-nose Barkeep) at very affordable prices. If I were going to buy another...

I really wish more Turkish shotguns were reliable. I like some of their designs, and the prices are tempting. In the heat of the moment, part of me starts to think that some of the cooler Turkish shotguns may be worth a $300 gamble. Every time I come close to purchasing a Turkish shotgun, I...

I have difficulty ever getting rid of a gun. The only time I ever do it is when I'm trading-up for something. If finances allow, I'd hold onto both guns until I found something else that I wanted more. One of the benefits of the Hellcats is that they are small enough that you can carry two.

I always carry extra ammo; I just carry it in a second (or third) gun. I definitely see the wisdom behind having more ammo, but I prefer the benefits of additional guns. I spent hours practicing reloads when I was a street cop, but all of this practice was on a range with just the clock and a...

Yeah. The term ".30 caliber rifles" should be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure if they overlooked the decimal point, or if they think "Caliber" is a company that makes rifles.

Minor Update: Other sources are reporting that on box of 6 M1A rifles was delivered to the school. Some sources are still claiming 30 rifles were delivered, but they appear to have been confused by the term ".30 caliber rifles". I was as shocked as you when I realized that most reporters know...

I would absolutely love for 30 M1A rifles to show up at my house, but the school was not amused. Way to go Fed-Ex. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/aug/24/fedex-mistakenly-delivered-30-rifles-to-high-schoo/

I probably need to modify my rule. I trust only OEM and MecGar for handgun magazines. I'm not nearly as picky for AR or AK mags. I've picked up pot-metal bargain bin AK magazines from unknown countries that have run forever. I also have quality AR mags from probably a half-dozen companies...

I don't know if all MecGar mags are made in Italy, but all of the ones that I own are made in Italy. I've had great luck with MecGar magazines, and many of the big handgun manufacturers contract with MecGar to make the magazines for their pistols. I normally swear by OEM magazines, but I make...

I've been using them in my .22 LR and .22 WMR revolvers for years. They last much longer than actual snap-caps. The only issue I have found is that the box of anchors I bought in 2014 work fine, but a second box I purchased in 2021 were too thin to work in my revolvers. The Amazon comments...

I really wanted to like the Hellcat, but I just couldn't do it. The XDS Mod.2 fit my hand much better. The flatter profile of the XDS was also easier for me to conceal with my body type. While guns like the Sig P365 and Hellcat are smaller, the grips always seems to print much more than the...

I don't usually get excited about, or even participate in, many giveaways. I was surprised to learn that the closest participating retailer was 35 miles away. That would normally be a deal-breaker for me, but Ray's Hardware & Sporting Goods is a landmark in Dallas. I haven't been there is...

I don't have a P22, but my .22 LR Walther PPK/s is one of my go-to range toys. The PPK/s also seems to hate Federal ammo. It likes the CCI Mini-Mags, and does well with almost any high-velocity ammo. I know that it is seen by many as a budget brand, but my Walther does very well with Aguila...

I try to patronize companies that take a stand supporting the 1st or 2nd Amendment. I also appreciate companies pointing out the obvious truth that lax law enforcement and activist district attorneys are the cause of the recent uptick of violent crime in blue cities. I have recently become...

I don’t have much experience with 1911s, but I’ve been thinking about getting a mid-level 1911. I bought a stainless Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec last year from the IOP program and have been very impressed with it. My other 1911 is a Remington R1 Enhanced Commander that I purchased a few years back...

The only Canik products I own are two CZ75 clones (full-size & compact) that were imported by TriStar. The fit and finish on these guns was much higher than I expected for the price, and they have both been 100% reliable. They both also use CZ or MecGar magazines, which are cheap and easy to...

I have an earlier version of the XTM-22. It saw a lot more action when .22 WMR ammo was $7.99 a box, but it's still one of my favorite range toys. I've been shooting it since 2019 and have yet to have a malfunction. I think the open-slide design makes the XT Series some of the most reliable...

I feel confident that her dad is taking care of the jack situation. From what I overheard on the phone, I think he was kicking himself for not checking for it when he bought the car. I would not be surprised if dad has already purchased one. I appreciate all of the of the positive responses.

I found their advice interesting as well. While it is necessary to remove the stock for a full cleaning, I haven't found a definite answer on how often the rifle needs to be fully cleaned. I downloaded the User Manual for the Pre-2004 Mini Thirty from Ruger's website. I was expecting a...

I normally only post gun-related content, but something that happened today has been on my mind. My oldest son recently got his learner’s permit, but his girlfriend is a year older and already has her license. When they went to do their walkthrough at the high school today, they realized that...
