While little is known about Tom Threepersons, the larger-than-life exploits of the Native American lawman reveal him to have been a jack-of-all trades, but master of armed conflict. It isn’t big enough to deserve the title of “library” so I can’t logically call it one, but there are sure a …

My Gunsite Academy students might remember hearing me preach this: Achieving high-speed, low-drag is nothing more than applying basics. While everyone wants to move on to advanced training, you must first master the fundamentals, then apply them to every shot. So here’s a drill that will benefit any pistol shooter, …

Americans sure are exercising their Second Amendment rights. March had the second-highest number of background checks for the purchase of a firearm on record, beaten only by March of last year, according to new data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

The early 1970s were a different time. While the new .223 Remington cartridge was gaining ground, Bill Ruger had no interest in making a rifle that was a clone of—or anything like—the AR-15. Instead, he looked back (which then wasn’t back very far) to the M14. Ruger then enlisted the …

Semi-automatic pistols seem to be firmly entrenched as king in the defensive handgun market these days. They certainly do dominate, especially as the number of models designed for comfortable concealment continues to grow. Some folks may go so far as to say the defensive revolver has gone the way of …

Shooters of the U.S. beware. Give way an inch to the anti-gun lobby, and you’ll end up like the poor folk here in Great Britain. And it’s not just handguns I’m talking about. Regulations which have recently come into force have made all semi-auto rifles larger than .22 Long Rifle illegal. …
