  In October 2015, Winchester issued a recall and important safety notice for Winchester XPR rifles. XPR rifles have the potential to fire an unintended round when the safety switch is manipulated. During continuous product testing, Winchester found that moving the safety switch on the XPR rifle “may cause movement …

Over the years, among the most useful handguns I have used have been five-shot revolvers. Light, handy and powerful enough for most chores, these are excellent defensive revolvers. Another idiom I have used has been the 4-inch barrel kit gun—usually in .22 caliber. A favorite recreational shooter has been the …
