Do they foresee something that the general public does not? Are they planning a false flag? Maybe it’s just more Russia scaremongering? Whatever the cause, it’s something to keep…

Democrat-led cities across America have a serious violent crime problem. They also have an even bigger homicide problem. While crime has risen to some degree in most locales since 2021, cities with Democrat leadership saw the biggest increases. The sole exception to the cities with the highest growth in homicide comes from the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas. However Garland’s prosecutor, Dallas County DA John Creuzot, won his last election thanks in large part to a $400,000 contribution from George Soros. Memphis, New Orleans, Baltimore, St. Louis and Detroit are all been run by mayors who despise gun owners while bending…
The IRS is looking for people who are qualified to use weapons for the tax collecting agency’s Criminal Unit, as enforcement actions are projected to expand due to a recent funding boost. Candidates for the special agent position, which is the only job at the IRS that allows staff to carry guns, will be asked to combine their “accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes,” according to a job posting on the IRS website. Individuals applying for the job must be “legally allowed to carry a firearm” and “maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening…
James Buchanan Gillett was born November 4, 1856, in Austin, Texas. Ever the adventure seeker, young Gillett started riding horseback at an early age. He eventually set himself up in the business of fishing and hunting along the Colorado River. He would sell his harvests in town. One of his earliest firearms was a Confederate soldier’s old Enfield musket from the Civil War. He bought it for $3.50; in Gillett’s words, it would “kick like a mule.” He would eventually turn to the 1876 Winchester. Life Before the 1876 Winchester He later earned enough from his fish and game harvesting business…
Cheek weld is important — far more important than many people know. Like grip on a handgun, cheek weld is frequently misunderstood. That’s why so many people who really know what they’re doing work to establish the same cheek weld each and every time (including using guides or marks on their rifle and in some cases painstakingly determining an exact individual length of pull). It’s also why the rifle cheek riser, adjustable cheek rest, and rifle cheek pad are such popular additions to certain weapon systems — not to mention such accessories as the SOPMOD stock (B5 SOPMOD that is), various Magpul stock…
The Glock 17 Gen 5 is a highly sought-after handgun, admired for its reliability, ease of use, and precision shooting. While it’s already an exceptional firearm, there are still ways to enhance its performance and accuracy through upgrades.

At some point in every new or would-be gun owner’s life comes along what some might consider a rite of passage: picking the right gun. A major part of an informed selection is understanding various aspects and features of a weapon – and that includes the size. Smaller pistol frame weapons are not (necessarily) easier to shoot than bigger ones. Larger pistols often do not have greater magazine capacity or what is so often referred to as “knock-down power”. A grasp of types of handguns, by which we mean full-size vs compact vs subcompact, etc. (to say nothing of Commander vs. Officers model vs. whatever a “mouse gun” is!) is important. That’s not…
Striker-fired guns are the bee’s knees. Rarely do you see a new gun come out in any design besides striker-fired. Hammer fired handguns aren’t dead, but they may be gone as far as armed professionals go. The United States military got rid of the hammer-fired Beretta for the P320. Most police forces have transitioned to these guns in various flavors, and most popular carry guns are striker-fired models. What exactly is a striker-fired handgun? How do they work? Well, let’s find out. What’s A Striker-Fired gun? All strikers are firing pins, but not all firing pins are strikers. Striker fired guns can best…
The Steyr M95 is a straight-pull bolt action rifle designed by the Austrian engineer Ferdinand Karl Adolf Josef Mannlicher before the First World War. That rifle (aka the Mannlicher M1895 et al) served in vast numbers…but it kind of sucked. World War 1 represented a tumultuous time in world history. Ancient empires struggled to remain relevant, and vassal states that composed those empires were yearning for self-rule. Military forces were armed with a hodgepodge of rifles, machine guns, swords, pikes, revolvers, and semiautomatic pistols. The cavalry still charged on horseback in some corners of the globe while poison gas rained down…
Belt-fed. It’s a fun term, and it’s my favorite type of weapon. Call it my machine gunner mentality or a reflection of the joys of going cyclic; just don’t call me late for ammo resupply. As a machine gunner (from whence came the term belt-fed machine gun), I have loved belt-fed firearms with a fierce and terrible love for many years. I handled my fair share of these guns in my time as a Marine, but we’re not here to talk about that. Well, much. Today we are talking all about what the term means, the history of these guns, and…
