In a recent article, I mentioned that a G17 fit my needs as a “truck gun” as well as anything else. However, just because I don’t NEED a short AR doesn’t mean I don’t WANT one. AR & AK pistols, as it turns out, are a ton of fun! AR Pistol Those of you that […]
Do you want to reload without investing a fortune on expensive—and expansive equipment? Then you may want to consider the Lee Loader. In early 2012 I had just turned 21.
