Cartridge development has an interesting and sordid history; the cartridges we have come to know and love – more often than not – are based on an existing design, modified to suit the shooting public’s needs. Some of our most famous cartridges, ones we have used and read about for decades, have a lineage that may surprise you. Let’s take a look at some of the family trees of cartridges, and see how they’ve intermingled and branched.

I love AR-15 type rifles as much, and probably more than the next guy. But if we’re to be honest with each other, I think we can agree that the standard mil-spec trigger kind of sucks. Obviously, a trigger upgrade doesn’t make the gun mechanically more accurate, but it does make it a heck of a lot easier to shoot the rifle more accurately. That’s part of the design goal behind Blackhawk’s AR Blaze Trigger for AR-15 rifles.

Unlike the corporate lists filled with overpriced junk that show up in your spam folder, our gift ideas have all been vetted or, at the very least, well-researched.

Okay kids, that time of year is here when the Christmas family gift exchange happens. Remember last year, when were both stuck looking at each other awkwardly in the room, me pretending I like my gift, you pretending you put some thought into it? :) So, let’s cut to the chase this year. Here’s some really cool range gear that I would really like for Christmas.

“We think our customers are really going to like the buttstock on this rifle. I don’t think there’s anything else quite like it,” said Phil Cashin, president of MasterPiece Arms.

Let’s be honest. Gun owners got the only Christmas present they really needed on November 9 when Hillary Clinton gave her concession speech. Donald Trump’s victory likely saves us from another two years of ammo shortages and, more importantly, another four years of “assault weapon” ban threats. Still, AR-15s have been on my mind ever since the primaries. I started purchasing AR parts when the first election polls showed Trump losing by double-digits, and I went into full prepper mode in the days before the election.

I am putting together a suppressor-oriented Christmas wish list. So here is a little insight into the goodies I want for Christmas, and would be good for the suppressor-owning or soon-to-be owning person in your life.

Well, here we are, knocking on the door of Christmas. I can tell, my Visa card is getting warm. One thing about the gunfighter or aspiring gunfighter in your life, they can be very hard to shop for. It’s a lot like having a kid that is into Dungeons & Dragons. If you don’t walk in that world, you probably have no idea what is cool and what is lame. Not to worry ladies and gents, Uncle Clay is here with a rock solid, all-American, never fail, all go, no quit, sure fire, John Wayne approved shopping list. Grab your checkbooks, it’s about to get gangster.
