It’s funny how seemingly small changes can make huge waves. When Smith & Wesson launched the M&P9 M2.0 Metal pistol, shock waves reverberated throughout the firearm world. It’s not like this is an unprecedented move, either—Walther had done it a few years ago with its Q4 steel-frame version of the PPQ pistol. …

KelTec has a rich history of innovation, particularly in personal-defense guns. The company’s P11 was a pioneering design for the concealed-carry market. KelTec’s P3AT set the standard for pocket-size .380s, and its P32 was one of the smallest CCW guns ever produced and continues to be one of the smallest semi-automatic handguns you can …

Venezuela is surrounded by paradisiacal turquoise waters in the north and an enigmatic rainforest in the south. There are no seasonal natural disasters—no hurricanes, tornados, blizzards or wildfires—such as there are in various areas of the United States. But an idea that the government should be given so much power …

True Knives is announcing the release of an EDC (Every Day Carry) Support Kit done in collaboration with DAV (Disabled American Veterans). For over a century, Disabled American Veterans has been helping members of the American military re-transition back to home life while providing assistance with the unique and special challenges …

Converting a DA/SA pistol like the H&K USP to DAO typically requires the installation of proprietary parts. Having a certified armorer or qualified gunsmith do the work ensures the gun’s safety and reliability. Call me crazy, but I like double-action-only revolvers and I am considering converting my double-action/single-action (DA/SA) semi-automatic …

Winchester chambered the .375 Winchester cartridge in its lever-action Model 94 XTR for only a few years during the late 1970s. Marlin, Ruger and Thompson/Center also made their own very short runs of .375s. These relatively few .375 Win. rifles have reached collector status after being out of production these many 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. For many, it is the first time they have met since …

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. …

“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 …

An often-overlooked component of the concealed carry lifestyle is carrying a firearm in the great outdoors. Not the rifle of shotgun you use as a hunting gun, but rather some sort of pistol that is there to do all the things your rifle or shotgun can’t do, things like hunting …
