In recent years, much of elite opinion has been dedicated to obfuscating the causes and solutions to the increase in violent crime. At its least harmful, this messaging effort has focused on the admittedly complicated array of factors that can contribute to crime. At its worst, the campaign has sought …

Armed Citizen® Today A Patterson, Calif., woman defended her husband when an alleged intoxicated intruder tried to break in their home and attacked him on Sept. 24, 2022.

Depending on your point of view, Ruger is either a very early or rather late adopter of the 5.7×28 mm FN cartridge. Early in that, in addition to Fabrique Nationale (the design’s originator back in the late 1980s), the gunmaker has now become only the second major manufacturer to fully embrace the cartridge by …

Firearm: Kimber KHX Ultra (MSRP: $1,468) For those that either don’t care for striker-fired pistols or simply prefer the lighter trigger of a single-action 1911, Kimber’s Ultra size 1911s might be something to consider.

It’s funny how seemingly small changes can make huge waves. When Smith & Wesson launched the M&P9 M2.0 Metal pistol, shock waves reverberated throughout the firearm world. It’s not like this is an unprecedented move, either—Walther had done it a few years ago with its Q4 steel-frame version of the PPQ pistol. …
