I am, undoubtedly, an advertising company’s greatest nightmare. I just don’t do fads. I wear the same brand of jeans I wore in college. I comb my hair the same way that I did back then and would probably still use Brylcream (if I could still find it locally). I …

On March 28, 2012, Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced an innovative new version of the already popular 10/22 semi-auto rimfire carbine: The Takedown. This 10/22 breaks in half for easy storage thanks to a split stock and a release lever located in the fore-end. Five years later, the Takedown is …

As AK-pattern rifle enthusiasts here in the U.S. can attest, imported AKs are not all created equal. Mikhail Kalashnikov’s battle-proven combat rifle design has been borrowed, cloned and modified by countries around the world without the benefit of uniform production standards.

The .44 Mag. and its .44 Spl. forebear have deep roots in American shooting culture, stretching back through top-break antecedents in .44 Russian all the way back to antebellum blackpowder Colt percussion revolvers.

When I’m interested in powering up a handgun, downsizing the caliber is not my first thought. Yet, that’s the premise behind the 10 mm cartridge as envisioned by the FBI during its pursuit of the perfect pistol cartridge/caliber during the final decade of the last century. The bureau’s on-again/off-again romance …

Editor’s note: With a bitter brawl brewing in Congress over national Right-to-Carry reciprocity, the dire warnings of a return to the Wild West are springing up once again. We asked Charles C.W. Cooke to give us a little historical perspective: Have Right-to-Carry laws ever resulted in widespread mayhem? Or mayhem …

Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump’s nominee for late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, addressed a couple of questions of interest to National Rifle Association members in a Senate hearing on Monday. When questioned by U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, about the landmark District of Columbia …

This feature appears in the April ‘17 issue of NRA America’s 1st Freedom, one of the official journals of the National Rifle Association.   I’m no expert on so-called “gun-free” zones. In fact, I leave that title to researcher and author John Lott, who you will find answering several questions on this …

Magpul’s X-22 Backpacker Stock for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown is pure-genius, greatly increasing the utility of one of the most popular rifles of all time. The replacement stock’s polymer fore-end and buttstock nest and lock together when the gun is taken down, and the former’s barrel block is available with …
