Pop quiz: How many of the violent crimes committed in the United States each year involve a firearm? It turns out that, thanks to years of media-driven attention-shifting, most Americans don’t know and aren’t close in their estimations. As Dr. John Lott Jr. noted in May, the average self-identified Democrat …

Headquartered in the hills of northern Italy, Beretta is the world’s oldest firearm company. The company has been making guns for longer (much longer) than there has been a United States of America, and in that time, it has learned a thing or two about making a high-quality firearm. Beretta’s history with …

Every so often, something that happens on a range serves to remind me that rather than dying or fading away, good lessons just keep chugging along. That these events usually involve high-stress competition or shooting instruction is evidence that well-executed training can expose the best (and worst) of our equipment …

There can be a tendency to think of the High Power as a platform more or less stuck in time, because its principal design remains relatively unchanged since 1934, and its evolution has been pretty static for the past few decades—and was seemingly outright dead there for a bit recently. …

Nancy Pelosi made a last minute move overnight to rig the rules so that she can bring H.R. 1808, her so-called “Assault Weapons Ban,” to the floor of the House today if she can get the votes she needs. Normally a “controversial” bill like this would need to sit for …

This is a turbulent time in America. The nation is warily emerging from a pandemic, only to face spiking crime, rampant inflation, shortages of labor and goods and highly publicized acts of violence.

Each Lux rifle comes with a sub-MOA guarantee. A traditional oil-finished select-grade walnut matches the rifle’s dark nitrided barrel and receiver. The …

In the past, I’ve touched on firearm related developments that were shaped just as much by regulations and politics as innovation and customer demand. The case in point today is Winchester‘s .350 Legend rifle cartridge. Since the mid-2010s, several states with deer hunting seasons, including Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and Michigan, now …

It’s funny. Not all that long ago, I reviewed an AR-15 and started by waxing nostalgic for “the good old days” when ARs were expensive and AKs weren’t. I reminisced about how in the mid-aughts, one could find a decent (well, functional) AK-variant for somewhere in the vicinity of $300, …

When asked why deer hunting in the United States has grown safer the past half-century, most experts cite mandatory hunter-education training in all 50 states, and mandatory or widespread acceptance of blaze-orange clothing.
