I love start articles with something to get certain people frothy, especially Glock guys. Relax fanboys, Glocks are great guns, I just happen to think the MR9 is a better gun. The MR9 is essentially a clone of the Walther P99, made with Walther’s permission of course. The frame is made by Walther, and this […]
We’re working on a long story on an epidemic of organized-crime gun theft. It’s amazing just how many thefts are happening, and how many of them are being done by professional criminals. ATF has scores (no exaggeration) of open store burglaries, some of them smash-and-grabs by very fast-moving teams. Their typical targets are pistols, first, […]

What happens when you decide to help young girls learn about firearm? You get an annual event that is exploding in popularity. Firearms and shooting have not always been a part of Janette Story’s life. But after her husband passed away in 2005, she had three different scares. “The ‘what if’s’ got to me,” she […]
You’ve probably seen an odd box of shotgun shells in your local gun store. They read Aguila, a company you may only associate with 22 LR. Aguila actually makes quite a bit of ammunition, but their mini shot shells are the most noteworthy. Noteworthy because they are just so odd. Most of us are used […]
