I'm not sure what a WW1 vet would find the Garand "brutish" or otherwise unsuitable when comparing a M1903 to an M1 Garand. I submit they were both .30-06 but one was a bolt gun while the the other was semi-auto. IMHO, the WW1 vet would probably have appreciated the upgrades yo the M1903. I...

I think such articles are good for historical purposes, but given advancements in ammo and weapons in the past 50 years, I'm not going to use tuning advice for a 1970 440 Roadrunner for my 700+ hp computer-controlled Hellcat. FMJ ammo... nothing wrong with it, especially if you buy GOOD stuff...

You said "i think its not so much type of ammo as it is HAVING ammo". So true. Still, having ammo better than birdshot is probably sound thinking. For example, do you need 55gr, 62gr or other .223/5.56mm? Either, IMHO. Buckshot or slugs? Both, IMHO. I imagine different scenarios and go from...

Simply put -- to quote Dirty Harry -- a man's gotta know his limitations. A bear is not a bear. Huge diff between a 3-400 lb black bear and a 1,000 lb grizzly. Whether you're in the forest or the mountains or on the plains -- and where that might be -- will determine what you carry. A .45ACP...

I love Mas Ayoob's take on anything, but I have to also ask about more Hellcat articles. I've had my original since they came out and love it. I've added a Veridian red laser and Powder River Precision trigger, which is awesome. I appendix carry with a Crossbreed holster. It's a great CCW...

You call it spot on. What are you using the firearm for? For target and home defense, pick your poison. For CCW, shorter people, like me, have trouble conceal carrying a full size .45, but a Commander-size gun is not impossible. I like to appendix carry and appreciate the Springfield Hellcat for...

I'm not a fan of Glocks. I love the 1911. However, the Glock 17 9mm has been around since 1983 as a production pistol. 40+ years is quite a fad! ;-)

"In a prepared statement, Andersen’s attorney Guy Relford indicated that Indiana’s "Castle Doctrine" of self-defense would apply to this case and, 'law allows a person to use reasonable force, including deadly force, if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent an unlawful...

I had a Colt Series 70 5-inch I bought back in the late 70s. I added sights and an extended slide release. I was always happy with the trigger. Your 3 lb trigger sounds light. I shot a friend's "tuned" Gold Cup a number of years ago and it scared me. You have a 3 lb trigger; he claimed his was 2...

I have had a few 1911s. The only things I feel are good to have are low profile sights, ambi safety and an extended slide release. I don't know why, but I can never seem to get the factory slide releases to work well. My current Remington R1 was an early build Ilion gun. I added an Ed Brown...
