Ruger makes great revolvers. There single actions are affordable, durable, and accurate. Yet even a good revolver may need a bit of a nudge to make it great. So take it apart and slick it up. Take out the creep. Lighten the pull. It isn’t all that complicated.

Moms Demand Action scored another victory on Wednesday when retail giant Target announced that it would ask gun owners to leave their firearms at home.

“We have been conditioned to fear people with guns. The media reinforces this fear while simultaneously exploiting it. We have been conditioned to feel that guns and gunmen in particular are evils from which any decent person should recoil in horror.” – Billy Johnson, NRA News commentator.

On Tuesday, Georgia’s new sweeping pro-carry law took effect. The National Rifle Association celebrates the victory while Everytown for Gun Safety vows that the war is not yet won.

Dick Metcalf speaks at the Aspen Ideas Festival about the abrupt end to his tenure at Guns & Ammo, while making some controversial remarks in the process.

The Metro Arms line of imported 1911s is making some big promises. How well do these budget conscious single actions compete in an already crowded field? Amazingly well. I’ve shot hundreds of 1911s and very few of them have done what this humble hunk of steel did out of the box.

Hunters and sportsmen are a boon to the U.S. economy to the tune of approximately $110 billion, according to a report released last Thursday by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Measuring radiation isn’t as complicated as all of the terminology makes it sound. Any radiation measuring device has some sort of Geiger–Müller tube, also called a G-M tube. The tube is a surprisingly simple device that turns any type of ionizing radiation into an electrical pulse. The rest of the machine we call “Geiger Counter” or “radiation meter” is just a signal amplification circuit that can contain computing chips and measurement dials or readouts. In a nuclear emergency there won’t be time for news of it to hit The Drudge Report. You’ll have to take evasive measures immediately (a topic for a future article). We are all waiting for the next big false flag or hoax catastrophe, and if it turns out to be nuclear, you’ll want some sort of Geiger counter, both to tell you when it is time to go inside, and also when it is ok to come out. For the most part, Geiger counters aren’t cheap. But I found a source for a DIY Geiger counter that takes only basic soldering for under $60, including the G-M tube. You can also get a no-solder option for still under $100, and they work great.
