If ratified by the Senate, the United Nations Small Arms Treaty would supercede the Constitution. U.N. Small Arms Treaty a real threat to U.S. gun owners
August 31, 2010
Several times a week, I receive internet warnings that scream the present administration plans to circumvent the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The Taurus PT709 Slim is an excellent compromise between too small and just right for a 9MM pistol. Here the Taurus is shown in the middle between the ubiquitous Ruger LCP on the bottom and the popular Glock Model 19 on top. PT 709 Slim: a self-defense pistol worthy of the name

David George DeMersseman was 54 years old, an insurance executive and on a road trip. He was sitting in a Waffle House on a major thoroughfare next to an entrance/exit off Interstate 12 in my town, having an early breakfast or a late dinner — the newspapers didn’t specify.

The Heckler & Koch USP Compact is a semi-automatic pistol with a composite frame, exposed hammer and decocker mechanism. This is an excellent choice for a concealed-carry self-defense pistol. It is small enough to be easily concealed, light enough to be comfortable and large enough to give a firm grip and allow excellent control of recoil. Homeowner shoots armed invader

It was a drizzly, miserable December 2009 night in Marrero, a small river town across from New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River.

Many rifles have a recoil lug that fits into a hole in the stock, imparting the recoil to the wood. If this hole is uneven, the rifle can shift as it recoils against the stock, causing erratic grouping. While bedding the receiver, it is always a good idea to remove material from the recoil lug recessed area, and replace it with a good epoxy. Bedding your rifle

I couldn’t figure it out.

Usually, when a rifle is acting up, you can get a rhyme or reason out of the pattern, or “group,” it is throwing on the paper.

The Lapua Midas (upper left) priced out at $18 per box of 50. When shooters begin pursuing the perfect group, even ammo prices become unimportant. Ruger 10-22: from caterpillar to butterfly
December 1, 2009
I remember the first Ruger 10-22 carbine I came across.

This is Remington's entry into the AR hunting market. The rifle features a button-rifled barrel, crowned hunting muzzle and single-stage hunting trigger, and comes in .223 Remington and .204 Ruger. Shown is the carbine model with collapsible stock. Remington 700 VTR has grown on me

The AR-style rifle has come into its own.


First designed by Eugene Stoner in .308 caliber when he worked for the Armalite corporation, the aluminum receiver guns were the stuff of science-fiction films, far ahead of their time.

Don’t forward anymore false emails
September 28, 2009
It’s called “going viral,” and it refers to what happens to information that is of interest to a large number of people when it is published on the internet.

The PARA USA Companion with the light double action trigger brings safe hammer-down carry to the 1911 pistol. Lots to like about PARA Companion
July 23, 2009
PARA USA is a tough company to love.

Being infatuated with a PARA pistol is a lot like being in love with a beautiful but flighty woman. You desire everything about her, and her beauty and perfection astounds you.

Concealed on campus will reduce killings
June 26, 2009
The Louisiana House of Representatives recently killed a bill to allow concealed handgun carry on campuses. The following is one man’s opinion:

Remington's new VTR has a patented triangular barrel and an injection-molded composite stock featuring “breather” holes to speed heat dissipation. The new triangular design of the barrel enhances stiffness while reducing weight over a round barrel of equal diameter. Remington 700 VTR the tacti-coolest yet
May 28, 2009
Many riflemen will tell you if there is one company that knows how to get it right, it is Remington. The frequent comment heard is “Remington shoots straight, straight out of the box.”

If the Department of Defense had not backed down, the price of ammunition would have skyrocketed. DOD changes course on military brass sale
April 30, 2009
Unless you’ve been shooting from your own personal ammo dump over the last year, you’re aware of the acute shortage of sporting ammunition available to shooters across the U.S.

From 15 yards, the match barrel lived up to its reputation. A ragged hole less than 2 inches in diameter was fired by the author. Twelve rounds went into the same hole, and if the author's eyes were younger, the group would have undoubtedly been much tighter. Springfield XDm melds into shooter’s hand
March 30, 2009
Springfield Armory, famous for high-end 1911-style pistols, introduced a new model polymer pistol in 2001 that so completely overshadowed its production of those models, the company image was taken over by the new pistol.

Citizens are flocking to buy guns and qualify for concealed-carry permits. Election drives gun sales, carry applications
February 26, 2009
Since the recent presidential election, sales of AR-15-style rifles have gone off the charts, and some manufacturers now report backlog orders for their rifles to number in the thousands. The term “assault rifle” will not be used here since that is a misnomer.

The Alpen Apex in 3.5-10x50 is only 12.5 inches in length, which allows it to fit well on new compact rifles designed to digest the short magnum cartridges that are all the rage. Inexpensive scopes offer high quality
February 3, 2009
If you shoot and hunt with one of the new compact magnum cartridges, smaller, lower-powered scopes cosmetically match your rifle better.
