After World War II, a variety of new firearms designs hit the market with some interesting and unusual features. While most think of the Uzi or Swedish K, a lesser known example came from Denmark, the Madsen M1950. The M1950 was based off an earlier design, the M1946, which was a very simplistic …

Russell Crowe as Maximus in the movie “Gladiator” was quite the deadly performer. I’m betting my season’s goose limit that Browning’s 12-gauge Maxus II shotgun is even deadlier.

Today,  NRA-ILA appealed a federal judge’s ruling that begrudgingly upheld the state’s ban on transferring firearms to young adults between the ages of 18-20. The NRA is pursuing the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to protect the constitutionally guaranteed rights of all law-abiding adults. There is no …

Rifles often get wrongly accused. It’s goes something like this: “My rifle used to shoot … (insert super-tight group measurement here) and now it doesn’t shoot worth a darn. The barrel must be shot out.” Barrel erosion can—and does—happen, but it requires one or more of the following: frequent, extensive shooting …

Last year, Walther Arms launched the Q5 Match series of 9 mm Luger pistols. The polymer-frame version, simply called the Q5 Match, was designed to meet customer requests for a tricked-out competition gun based on the duty-size PPQ pistol.
