Beyond A Shadow Of A Scout
Kinda proud of this series. I love the idea of the Scout Rifle, but the more I found out about it, the more I realized that it reflects a “Gun Culture 1.0” mindset. The parameters for the Scout Rifle were…

I first heard about the scout rifle in the late 80's, and I never really understood the hype about it. It wasn't the most accurate rifle in the world. It wasn't the most powerful nor did it have the highest…
My father-in-law left us three guns when he passed away. A rather nice Remington 20ga pump-action shotgun, an M1903 Springfield .30-06 bolt action rifle that was "sporterized" for civilian use, and an S+W .22 revolver that might be the best…
Ruger's new 57 pistol has created more interest in the 5.7x28mm cartridge. But how does 5.7x28mm stack up against the far more common 9mm round? I take a look at both rounds, including armor penetration tests and jell-o shots, over…

I've never shot a lot of 5.56mm "green tip" ammo. It's pretty much banned from 3 gun competitions, or any range where there are steel targets. But "green tip," or M855 ammunition, is popular round for the AR-15, so I…
My background is in photojournalism, so I had an absolute blast last week following around Julie Golob for one day during SHOT. For people in the industry, SHOT Show is not a relaxing tour of the new guns and a…
I got to be honest. I kinda liked the Taurus G2s. It shot 300+ rounds with no issues, and aside from a slightly wonky blade trigger safety, I had no problems running the gun. Of course, the real test of…
I've carried a Smith&Wesson Shield as my primary carry gun for years now. I used it when I Massad Ayoob's MAG40 class. I used it Citizen Defense Research's Armed Parent Class. I've shot it in matches, and I train with…
