The 9mm cartridge is so popular that many gun manufacturers make multiple pistols and even some rifles chambered in that round. Practically every firearms company has a variety of 9mm pistol options. Most of the time, the variations are very different from one another, but not always. Glock, long known …

President Joe Biden wasted little time calling for gun control following the tragic murders of six innocent Americans by a mentally unstable person who was known to be a threat. Similarly, White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre demanded a litany of gun control in a press briefing following the tragedy in Louisville, Ky., before …

There are some cartridges that are forever tied to a certain rifle. .30-30 Win and the lever-action rifle. .30-06 and the M1 Garand. In much the same way, when you think of .223 Rem., you’re probably thinking of shooting an AR-15. However, this is not always the case. There are …

“Magnum.” The word invokes a sense of something bigger, grander, or in the sense of our cartridges, faster. Just as the Nitro Express moniker was adopted to allude to the fact that the new smokeless propellant helped those cartridges to hit like an express train, a magnum cartridge gives the …

I’ve been called many things over the course of my short, amateur writing career, but “Scoop” is not one of them. In spite of having served in very specialized reconnaissance roles while playing Army in my younger days, I just don’t have it in me to birddog the shooting industry. …

At this point, it’s no surprise that the anti-gun political left would attempt to capitalize on the deaths of children to push their anti-gun political agenda.[1] Time and time again, anti-gunners do everything they can to keep our schools vulnerable by refusing the requests for armed security such as allowing teachers …
