Back when most of the hunters I knew used “primitive” arms, such as M1903 Springfields and 4X scopes, the variable riflescope was just starting to be accepted. This was in the mid-1960s. Most shooters still think of variables as a “modern” development, even though Zeiss (who else?) first began marketing practical riflescopes that would change magnification …

When introducing the Model 12 (actually named the 1912 for the year it was released) marketers for the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. dubbed the do-all, slide-action shotgun “The Perfect Repeater.” At the time, it was.

Nevertheless, gun use—from action blockbusters to cop shows to superheroes to military movies—are still the mainstay …

Texans recently saw a dozen NRA-backed bills go into effect, most notable among them being constitutional carry. These pro-freedom measures went into effect Sept. 1, and would not have come to fruition were it not for the tireless work of pro-Second Amendment legislators in the Lone Star State, the NRA …

I really don’t want to open up the whole “competition will get you killed in the streets” argument here with the MC9 T, because first off I don’t buy into it, and secondly I think competition is a fantastic way to hone your skills while testing your gear. Girsan’s MC9 T …

The stallion stood on the right edge of the herd, moving only when the herd did, bringing up the rear and protecting his harem in as inhospitable a setting I’ve ever seen. I was prone, on a gigantic slab of granite, with my hunting bag rolled up under the forend …
