NRA Show Buzz There was quite a lot of buzz at the NRA this year. The names Springfield and Rock River were often mentioned and not for the reasons they may have hoped. It should be said that I’m a fan of both companies’ products. I personally own a Springfield 1911 and rifle, and a […]

The innovative center-axis driver opens to align like a real screwdriver, yielding maximum torque and rotation. No productivity is sacrificed […]
There are times when being a gun writer really pays off, one of those times is when your friend calls and asks if you want to go with him to the range to shoot a piece of living history in the form of a captured German ZB-37 machine gun. The ZB-37 was originally produced in […]
The most valuable aspect of firearms training is time spent at the range. Naturally, the objective of going to the range is to spend as much time as possible shooting.
