I've passed up too many easy shots on coyotes while hunting Rocky Mountain mule deek and elk. Now I'll shoot every coyote I see. Coyotes can decimate fawn and calf populations. Coyotes are indiscriminate, opportunistic scavengers. They'll steal your pets out of your backyards. They'll clean...

I've run the gauntlet of wilderness handguns, suffering serious financial wounds. I've sold a 6" Model 29. It was huge, far too heavy, inconvenient to carry, slow to battery, and don't let anyone tell you that they can rapid fire a .44 Mag with accuracy. Due to excessive recoil, I called it a...

Massachusetts cops are hunting an extremely dangerous coyote. So far, it has bitten two people. If the first victim had a handgun, there wouldn't have been a second victim. Surviving a coyote attack requires painful medical rabies vaccination. Wise outdoorsmen know to never allow a wild...

You're welcome. I home you tag a monster buck. Best of luck.

Hi Texas, We have to keep at the forefront of our minds that for any company to remain viable, its revenue must exceed expenses. As far as customer service, my limited experiences with Springfield Armory's CS has been better than excellent. All of my SA CS contacts except for one were for...

Hi bennet, The .308 Win is an enigma. It is unlike almost all other big game cartridges. Shorter barrels have minimal effect on velocity. It has phenomenal inherent accuracy. It works geometrically better than its comparatively small case capacity would tend to indicate on all North American...

Hi Lchtus, I get it. I've walked in your shoes many, many times. When gun aficionados want a new gun, Old God has ability to vanquish our desires..

I do not like to disparage gun manufacturers. Maybe as long as two decades ago or more, I became aware of serious quality control problems plaguing an icon of American handgun manufacturers. Around the same time, the manufacturer was close to moribund. But for its military contracts and BK...

The only reason, and it's a substantial reason, I want nothing attached to a handgun that I might have to use for bipedal self-defense is because I do not want divert my attention from the only intent that matters: returning fire while hightailing it far out of a bad guy's sight picture. I do...

With all due respect, your concern is often cited by gun grabbers as justification for infringing upon We the People. Guns cause crime like cars cause drunk driving.

Use of deadly force to protect life or prevent great bodily injury, standing alone, does not implicate probable cause to believe the person defending himself committed a crime. As a cop (I hope all cops comprehend this sad fact arising from our litigious society.) I'd have had no problem if a...

It might if the shooter knew the shootee ;-)

Hi Matt, With all due respect, I do not see a problem. The Hellcat is a belly gun. It's not a competition handgun. Try point shooting it at 10', w/o sights, and observe outcome. BTW, Matt, all of my Springfield 1911-A1s have standard factory sights. They're all dead on balls accurate (an...

...and there may be a whole lot more to this incident about which we're unaware.

Increase in CA gun purchases

It's more about supply and demand. CA (I know, unbelievable) has experienced a substantial increase in gun purchases. I believe razor7 was referring to this vendor. It has about a half-dozen stores in So Cal. Its Santa Ana store is extremely popular. My guess is it has hundreds of names on...

Griz was shot and killed after inflicting serious injuries to two hunters.

Legal challenge to CA's ridiculous handgun roster.

Hi Peglegjoe, We are incapable of altering involuntary responses of our bodies. Tunnel vision is an involuntary response to an imminent deadly threat. However, we can ingrain conditioned responses to threats. Tunnel vision forces us to focus on threats our brains perceive to the exclusion of...

Hi Annihilator, Thanks for the link. However, it didn't provide useful info. Subcompact, reliable 9MM semis must have devastated demand for the once ubiquitous Chief Special that morphed in to the famed Model 36 (Model 60 is the stainless version of the Model 36.) five-shot revolver. I have...
