Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCC) and Personal Defense Weapons (PDW) have been gaining steam in the last 10 years, but the concept is hardly new. My favorite old Ruger is a carbine in .44 Magnum. It looks like a 10/22 that’s all grown up. But it isn’t the easiest gun to feed, and that’s what we’re talking about today—the functionality of the Glock magazine. Glock mags are, most typically, associated with Glock pistols. There are other pistols, like the Mossberg MC1, that run off Glock mags, too—but we’re here to talk about PCCs and PDWs. Glock mags are so well respected that…

The Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22 is one of the best dedicated AR-style rifles chambered in .22LR. It has magazines that are easy to load and the gun has most of the same features as a real AR-15. Many people prefer an “AR 22”, i.e. a 22 caliber AR or an AR with a conversion kit for training; the S&W M&P 15-22 is one of the most frequently chosen. Since the S&W M&P 15-22 is similar to an AR-15 you can immediately install AR-15 accessories such as triggers, safety selectors, grips, mag releases, and stocks. However, there are some things you need…
The state of New York has made it very clear that they don’t value your right to keep and bear arms. While gun ownership and even carrying a firearm is a fundamental right, one protected by our Constitution, New York isn’t exactly a fan. Yet it seems they’re also not a fan of treating their citizens like law-abiding citizens, either. That’s based on a tweet from Gun Owners of America. The circled one? It reads, “Anyone caught carrying a firearm is presumed to be carrying unlawfully until proven otherwise.” You know, “innocent until proven guilty” is also pretty fundamental to…
What is a sabot, well its a either a slug or a type of wooden shoe people wore in parts of Europe and France, we talk about both here.
If you’re out in the field tomorrow, 30 minutes before sunrise, then you know what’s up. For those of you who don’t quite get that time reference, tomorrow is for hunters what Opening Day is to baseball fans, and what next Thursday night will be to those of us who are NFL fans. September 1st is hunting’s version of Opening Day, and in particular, the first day of Dove Season in the many states around the country that allow dove hunting. That’s because back in 1918 the Migratory Bird Treaty Act was passed to reverse the massive decline of many…
The lone surviving member in the trio of blank-firing BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster pistols created for 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope” blockbuster—which launched the Star Wars franchise—sold for $1,057,500 in heated bidding on Aug. 27. Beneath this “Hero prop,” which endeared itself to science fiction fans in the series breathes a Mauser C96, or “Broomhandle” Mauser. Bapty & Co., a London-based prop firm that has created many of Hollywood’s most iconic guns, made all three operational blasters. Utilizing blank-firing pistols allowed more realistic recoil during closeups and ensured sound track synchronization. Unfortunately, in the high demand by film companies…
One of the first pieces of sign most deer hunters learn about is the famous buck rub. Not to be confused with a deer scrape, rubs happen when a buck literally rubs his antlers on a tree, bush, or even a telephone pole, often removing the bark and leaving it hanging in obvious strands that even the most novice of hunters can easily recognize. They are proof positive that a buck has traveled through the area at some point in time. Over the years, many myths and legends have emerged about deer rubs and what exactly they mean to the animals making…
How the left is trying to take our ghost guns, using the ATF rule. And how you can legally keep them without any trouble.
Guns have a lot of features and details to their design, but if one feature stands alone in getting the best—or worst—press, it’s probably capacity. Stacking as many rounds of ammo as possible in your carry gun is seen as a necessity, understandably. After all, you can’t predict or control how a fight for your life will go down, so isn’t it only logical that you need a metric ton of capacity? Yes, and no. Here’s what we think about capacity, spare magazines, and speed loaders. How much ammo does the magazine your gun ships with hold? Is it enough?…
I’d like to start this post with a list of problems that I’ve encountered with sunglasses in the past. These include: Weak plastic jointsUnsupported lensesLenses that scratch easilyFlaking and peeling rubber piecesFragile plastic framesAnd having a bad fit (both with hearing protection and without) Gatorz Eyewear sunglasses don’t suffer from any of these issues. In fact – Ever since I received my pair of Gatorz Magnum Z’s, most of my sunglass problems ended right there and then. In this review, I’m going to take a closer look at my pair Gatorz Magnum Z’s, and how they’ve held up for the last…
