There’s a debate raging in Michigan that touches many of us. The root of the issue is this: a Catholic priest is catching hell for encouraging his congregation to take an active role in their own defense. And that role includes guns and training. I think he’s got a point. And I may be preaching to the choir, but I’m going to ask anyhow. Why wouldn’t you carry where you worship?

The new trailer, such a tease, has a glimpse of some new blasters. Click here and take a look. The Force Awakens, and we have a lot to talk about. Or we will, once they stop teasing us.

Here’s the big dilemma: thousands GLOCK fans bought the GLOCK 42 because they couldn’t buy a 43. Thousands of others bought single stack 9mms from Kel-Tec, Skky, Ruger, Smith, Beretta, Bersa, Taurus, Springfield…. Some even ponied up for some ill-fated Remingtons. And now we all have to decide. Do you stick with what you have? Do you swap your old-standby for a 43?

Everyone here at the NRA show in Nashville has been talking about a brand new 9mm–a gun that’s supposed to dominate the market and change how we think about concealed carry. Could it be that this new wonder-gun isn’t a single stack? Check out the P30SK.

Your fun-gun just got serious. And how. We’re at the NRA show in Nashville, and Magpul has brought along a couple of new additions to their line-up. And these aren’t your typical AR add-ons.

Finding the right gun is complex. Finding the right holster should be an afterthought. But it isn’t the wrong holster can color how you feel about the gun, and about carrying. If you’re in the market for a truly rugged Kydex rig, I’d suggest RLSmith. These things are robust.

Within the wide wide world of 1911s, Para has a reputation for excellent performance and affordable pricing. These aren’t prissy single-actions, either. Yet Remington has announced that they’re taking the Para pistols in house, and mothballing the Para name. How will this change the Paras we know and love? Read our review of the Black-Ops.

If you’ve been following the pistol stabilizing brace drama, hang on to your hats. We’ve got a new chapter. Shockwave has just released their version–The Blade–and it works incredibly well. If you ever thought the old SB15 was a bit clunky, you should check out The Blade.
