There is no doubt, you get what you pay for in this world. Some instances prove so more than others, though, and inexpensive does not always mean cheap. I received a Nikko Stirling 4-16×50 Diamond Long Range rifle scope from Legacy Sports International Now the msrp is under $380 so I wondered how well such…
Shooting at the gun range or when hunting is often fun to some extent, but wait until you end up with the worst hearing problems or a chip in your eye. It is the reason you would have to choose the best ear protector and safety glasses important for your shooting activities. It is better…
There are thousands of gun sales in the US each day (it is estimated that on average there are 56,600 guns sold each day!). Not all are from experienced gun buyers, some will be from first time gun buyers too. That means there are a lot of novices out there that might not know the proper…
My close friend Charles ‘Charlie” Brown acquired a new RP9 through Remington and was kind enough to bring it by for a test drive and to see what is what. At first glance the RP9 is a polymer receiver striker fired duty size pistol, with eighteen plus one capacity. There is no shortage of such handguns…

With wrought iron frames and low carbon steel…
With the 2017 SHOT show in the rear view mirror I though I would share a few photographs of what I saw and some really cool stuff. Click this link to go to the entire gallery, here are just some of the firearms I saw that were very interesting. The Gilboa Snake, double…
Riton RT-R Mod 3 rifle red dot. I received the Riton RT-R Mod 3 red dot test sample from Riton a couple months ago, and pressed it right into service. Mounting it with the included mount, I was able to cowitness the back up sights and get the red dot dialed in. Stepping off…
In response to the flak that Colt has been catching over their failure to use a barrel with an integral feed ramp on their new Delta Elite so as to provide a fully supported chamber, I’ve been asked to weigh in. First, a little history of the ramped barrel with the fully supported chamber….
M1911 Locked breech/Short Recoil basic function Caliber .45 Auto firing a 230 grain bullet at 830 fps: Bang!
