Since I first began shooting, it has been drilled into my head that guns should be cleaned after every range session. I recently traded for a Ruger Mini Thirty made in 1995. I took it out for a 75-round range session using Igmon brass-cased ammo and Monarch steel-cased ammo. When breaking down...

The M14 has been on my bucket list for quite a while. My Mini-14 Ranch Rifle has been one of my favorite rifles for years, so I'm already familiar with the operating system. I need to upgrade to the original whenever I get the cash.

I've always had great experiences with Kygunco. The biggest perk for me is that sales tax is only charged to residents of certain states, based on each state's tax laws. This really adds up when buying a $500+ gun. They also charge a flat rate of $11.99 for almost all ammo purchases. Nothing...

I'm glad to see someone taking SRO Units seriously. The majority of the departments in this country assign SRO's based on seniority, with no physical fitness requirements. This leads to SRO Units full of burned-out, overweight officers who took the assignment to get weekends off and stay off...

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Your friends' family will be in my prayers. People who have never had to live with chronic pain do not know how difficult the struggle can be. Hang in there.

The only time target color affects me is when I'm trying to hit a black bullseye with blacked-out sights. I purposely avoid guns with plain black front sights. On the few guns I own with black front sights, I paint the front sight orange to offer some contrast. I like blacked-out rear sights...

The Hellcat Pro sounds like a great gun. The grip is the only thing that prevented me from loving the Hellcat. For me, the thickness of a grip is less important that the length from front to back. The XDS grip fits my hand perfectly. I currently carry an S&W Shield Plus because it offers a...

I recently started downsizing my collection to free up space in the safe. While I don't own anything I would consider to be a "bad" gun, I have accumulated a few too many polymer handguns that I neither carry nor frequently take to the range. I have decided to trade some of my bargain guns for...

I'm in the same boat. I usually try to support innovation, but I cannot afford to add another caliber to my collection. When it comes to handgun rounds, I don't see a huge need for "In Between" calibers. I may reconsider if .30 Super Carry ammo becomes more affordable than 9mm.

Career ATF Agent Brandon Garcia has had enough of the politicization of his agency, and submitted a scathing resignation letter (see link below). The old LEO side of me is proud of Agent Garcia for telling the brass where they can shove it. Unfortunately, the more political side of me worries...

All confiscation is a violation of basic human rights, but even in Canadian dollars the prices aren't bad. At $1,337 ($1029.49 USD) per AR, I'd be tempted to sell them a few of my $400 PSA builds. Looks like CZ Scorpion owners are getting shafted; or shafted worse than all of the other...

As long as someone practices and trains with the gun, then I don't see any reason why "tiny" guns should be avoided. I carried a Ruger LCP II as a backup/pocket gun for years. The only reason I no longer carry it is that I upgraded to an LCP Max when it was released. I normally carry a larger...

I have become quite fond of leverguns over the years. This is one of only a handful of articles I have seen that mentions the Mossberg 464. The first levergun I ever bought was a 464. I purchased it because I like Mossberg shotguns, and I had heard a lot of negative talk regarding Marlin...

I don't have a .22 LR, but I have an XT22 in .22 Magnum. I believe the XT22 was released in .22 LR for several years. The takedown is definitely different than a traditional 1911, but it isn't too bad once you do it a few times. The XT models are best described as a mix of 75% 1911 and 25%...

Like many here, I stopped watching the NFL when they decided that woke politics needed to be injected into sports. I have become a much bigger college football fan, so I don't miss the NFL at all. I have attended probably a dozen college games with my family over the past few years. While...

I already swapped the sight. The only other modification I would consider is the grip. I've traditionally shot J-Frames very accurately with the slim grip, but not as accurately as I am shooting with the stock Taurus grip. I'm not opposed to trigger-jobs in general, but I'm hesitant to make...

While none of these holsters would be my choice, it just feels right to carry a 1911 in a leather holster. The only holsters I own for 1911s are leather. What keeps me from considering any of the listed holsters is the lack of a retention strap on any of the belt options (I'm just not a...

I am a huge fan of the .22 Magnum round. I finally found a Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite and picked it up from my FFL this afternoon. I quickly swapped the front sight for the Taurus front night sight by Ameriglo. My preferred grips for small revolvers are the slim after-market wooden grips available...

I also own a 2.5" Ruger GP100. I love that gun and have been tempted to use it as my EDC several times throughout the years. I know that I would sacrifice capacity, but my GP100 is a 7-shot model and I doubt I would feel under-armed with 7 rounds of .357 Magnum. The GP100 is harder to conceal...

I've had a similar overall experience, but with the opposite results. My Mini-14 is the only one of my guns that runs ProMags. Every other gun I have ever tried with ProMags has had issues. I don't know if it is due more to quality control or design, but I've never known anyone who has had...
