I have the greatest job in the world, in that I am a professional firearms instructor. I get paid to teach people to shoot, and give them various skill sets which allow them to persevere in worst case scenarios. As a result, I’ve been fortunate enough to train with some of the best people our […]
At the start of the World War II, the German Army (Wehrmacht) equipped their infantry with a mix of bolt action rifles and machine guns.

I’ve never actually bought an AR 15. The first one I ever owned was one I built, and after that, I started realizing building or more accurately, assembling rifles is a blast. Since that first rifle came to be I’ve built 4 personal rifles and helped three friends build rifles. My fourth and latest rifle […]
The 2nd Amendment has given us the liberty to carry a licensed pistol but this doesn’t mean that we should ignore the fundamental rules of firearm safety.

Adam from The Legal Brief explains the Franklin Armory Reformation. 11.5 inch barrel and a stock? How is it not regulated by the National Firearms Act? Watch and learn. I look forward to hear more from Franklin Armory and other manufacturers as they explore this technology, or lack of it.
I really love to stir things up in the shooting community (especially the internet portion of it) so I’m just going to say it, “.45 ACP is outdated.” That’s not to say it isn’t effective, or that it isn’t reliable; just that it’s outdated. The .45 ACP round was developed by John Browning in 1905 […]
