Benelli’s M2: A Tried-And-True Repeater
Benelli developed its Inertia-Driven System of operation in 1967 that, partly because the gas and carbon produced during firing don’t enter the mechanism, has built a reputation for being among the cleanest running shotgun actions ever designed.

Yesterday, Governor Jared Polis signed the so-called “Vote Without Fear Act,” House Bill 22-1086.

I Carry: KelTec P15 Pistol in a Kinetic Concealment Holster

Q: I have boxes of Lake City Ordnance blank brass, Caliber .30 M1909. Most of the cartridges are LC 57 and some RA 56. I took the red seal card out and removed the blank powder (spherical type). Can I use this brass for reloading if I remove the crimp, straighten …
