One trend I spotted at the 2023 SHOT Show was the increasing popularity of single-action, metal-framed 9mm pistols with double stack magazines. Staccato has built their reputation on that sort of pistol, Beretta rolled out a single action version of the iconic Model 92 pistol, Dan Wesson rolled out the DWX (for real), and Springfield Armory was …

Welcome to another American Rifleman Gun Of The Week video, and this time, we’re on the range with an incredibly versatile single-action revolver built by Pietta. This Davidson’s Exclusive version is not only offered in a bunch of barrel lengths, it’s also available in multiple calibers and can be easily converted between several …

It would be nice if I were able to report that the people who run our sprawling federal government are taking seriously their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, but, unfortunately, I can write no such thing. Once upon a time, American presidents established offices …

If you think that the American media’s relentless attacks on the right to keep and bear arms represent a credible threat to the Second Amendment now, just wait until they come to realize that, instead of merely proselytizing against your rights, they can turn your support for them into a “thought …

I was recently made aware of a police officer who was wounded during a gunfight while responding to a domestic disturbance call. While the officer will recover, the amazing thing was that in the middle of the fight he had a failure-to-feed in his semi-automatic pistol. While a failure-to-feed is …

The title of this article may seem curious, but there is a point to it.  Consider the fact that “assault weapon” is an intentionally nebulous, malleable term created and promoted by anti-gun extremists with the stated intent of creating confusion.  A “weapon” can actually be anything that is simply used to inflict damage …

Another week another news item complaining about the misuse of firearms and firearm parts that are already illegal. This time it was the Washington Post, who on December 6 published a piece titled, “With ‘conversion switch’ devices, machine guns return to U.S. streets.” At this point gun owners don’t expect …
