Just like any other defensive platform, there are ways to work with or around pocket pistol features in order to make the most of their advantages and minimize their disadvantages. Pocket-size handguns are often criticized for being difficult or uncomfortable to shoot, and many owners and users don’t spend the …

When it comes to hunting most big game with an AR-15 rifle, I cling to the “Big Bore, Starts With a Four” way of thinking. Sure, there are a lot of competent cartridges for the AR-15, but the best for big-game hunting fit into that niche. The .458 SOCOM was developed for …

Thanks in no small part to lobbying from the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, and to the many NRA members who …
