Handloads: Hunting With The .375 Winchester
Winchester chambered the .375 Winchester cartridge in its lever-action Model 94 XTR for only a few years during the late 1970s.

Hodgdon Powder Celebrates 75 Years
The National Association of Sporting Good Wholesalers (NASGW) annual expo is a fantastic laid-back event where dealers, manufacturers and media get together to ogle new products, discuss the upcoming year’s sales plan and take advantage of the week together to catch-up.

Concealed Carry’s Big News
Though half the states in the union now have some type of “constitutional-carry” law on the books, and so citizens don’t have to get special permission, via concealed-carry permits, to use their right to carry for self-defense, the number of Americans with concealed-carry permits has still gone up in the last year. …
Semi-Auto Ascendancy: The Savage Renegauge Security
“Don’t get stuck on stupid” is a great saying. That’s why I wrote it about some of the tactical world in my book, “Prepper Guns”; a significant few are stuck on stupid. We long ago moved on to semi-automatic handguns and rifles for self-defense, yet much of the tactical world …

Ruger LC Carbine Review
The 5.7×28 mm cartridge was developed in the early 1990s by FN for the P90 PDW (Personal Defense Weapon). The idea behind the PDW was to build something to arm support personnel with a firearm smaller than a carbine or battle rifle, but packing more punch than a service pistol. …
Review: Charter Arms Classic Bulldog
When it comes to handguns, I am an equal opportunist: Revolvers, semi-autos; I love them all. That same sense of equality comes through as a collector. Though there are considerably more pistols and revolvers than long guns in La Bunker del Boyd, when it comes to handguns, surprisingly both wheelguns …
