I was given an exclusive on the press release tonight from Guns & Ammo and their response to the Dick Metcalf article from the Dec. 2013 issue. http://www.thebangswitch.com/guns-ammo-official-response-to-metcalf-article/

You guys won't believe this. http://militaryarms.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-handguard-ban-of-2013.html I caught this on CSPAN yesterday. Feinstein is defining the front handguard of a rifle as an evil feature that when coupled with a detachable magazine makes the semi-automatic firearm an...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEY1XdQf_JA The new US made IWI Tavor is here. This is one of the first production guns out on the market. Previously we've seen video of Israeli made guns, but this is the new US made gun which will be available in a couple of weeks. It's an impressive...

The new VEPR 12ga shotgun is one of the most exciting new products I've seen in 2012. The VEPR 12ga is not a Saiga by another name, it's a totally different shotgun that has some important improvements. If you're into 3 Gun shooting, you might want to seriously consider this shotgun...

SGM Tactical will be releasing shortly their new 50 round 9mm G17 magazine. The magazine is made of polymer and will work with any firearm that accepts a standard G17 magazine. Here's a review of the new magazine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KghkFluEoU It should be available shortly...

These pistols are once again available on the surplus market and are selling for around $300. I've had great luck with my sample and have found the pistol to feel quite familiar given it's relationship to the 1911. The pistols are all steel and most I've seen lately are WWII surplus firearms...

During SHOT Show 2012 I ran across the then prototype GSG StG44 .22LR rifle. Here's the video from SHOT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FgSVw7zfmQ I placed my order as soon as distributors started taking orders. The rifle arrived last week and so far it looks and feels very similar to the...

This is part one of a video series I'm working on talking about Bullpups. In the first video I address the concept of the bullpup design and compare it to a conventional rifle, the M4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNKvlV1oxfw Future videos will go into specifics of different rifles.

The bullpup shoot is a great opportunity to check out what's new in the world of bullpup firearms. This year I got to see and shoot the new IWI Tavor that is set to release in the US sometime in May of 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3KrkvHj3Vk Questions and comments welcome.

The DefendAR-15 stock is a new product from Fostech Outdoors. The bumpfire stock wars are on with SlideFire Solutions and Fostech going at it toe to toe for your bumpfire dollars. The DefendAR-15 sets itself apart from the SildeFire AR15 stock in a couple of areas. I address those differences...

The Archer is a Polish made rifle based on the Beryl AK used by the Polish armed forces. The rifle is neutered for the US market with fixed U.S. made stocks, I.O. Inc. pistol grip and Tapco trigger. However, the rifle is capable of incredible accuracy using XM193F 55gr ball. Here's the...

Here in the U.S. many consider the 1911 to be the greatest handgun design by John Browning. Globally speaking, the 1911 never achieved much success in military and law enforcement circles. The Hi-Power was Brownings last handgun design before passing away in 1926. By 1935 the Hi-Power was...

By influential I mean their features inspired other designs. These are the pistols I believe helped to shape the popular design of handguns throughout the 20th century. 1911: The grand-daddy of modern handguns, most every modern pistol borrows from the 1911's method of lock-up...

I've been buying a number of surplus firearms this year. I always seem to overlook these firearms and gravitate towards the more expensive stuff out there - whatever the latest and greatest is from the big manufactures. I've decided to buck that trend and pick up interesting surplus firearms...

Every year there is a WWII reenactment held just about an hour from my home. I go every year and every time I'm impressed with the event. I wanted to share this event with you guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeZpr9v_cHw Questions and comments are welcome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afJ16huA8wA I have been testing the S&W Shield for a couple of weeks now and have fired over 1,000 rounds through the latest S&W offering. Check it out and as always, questions and comments are welcome.

Join me on a walk through the NRA show. The event was held last week in St. Louis and had a record turn out. We shot video, talked to industry folks and generally had a great time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQWcSnT6yHA Questions and comments are always welcome.

I've always been a fan of Soviet era weapons. When I was a kid it was probably because the Soviets were our enemies and their firearms were mostly unavailable on the U.S. market. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union we've been blessed with a couple of decades of surplus firearms from...

I discovered this bandoleer system at a gun writers gathering I attended a few weeks back. I brought one home with me to check out and it has quickly become my favorite method for carrying spare magazines when I'm out and about with a rifle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs55GeK_Qog They...

I've tried a lot of slings over the years and spent a tidy sum of money in the process. No matter how cool I thought the sling looked, in function I always found issues that prevented me from keeping it on my rifle. Savvy Sniper has been around for a while, they're not a new company. As a...
