We’re gun guys. As such, we’ve been closely following the events in Ferguson. As the conditions deteriorate, more and more innocent Americans are being victimized by opportunistic thieves, who have no connection to the root of the protests. When cars show up in neighborhoods with the license plates already removed…well, it seems understandable that some store owners are standing up to protect what is rightfully theirs. What guns would you take?

The Eclipse Straight Drop Ambi Holster, from Blade Tech, is about as good as it gets. This holster has OWB loops for those times when comfort and/or cover are easy. With a few simple steps, the holster can be changed into an IWB holster. In this way, one holster will satisfy both needs.

Long established firearm manufacturers, with catalogs of full-size models, went back to the drawing board to design smaller, lighter, and more concealable handguns. Some manufacturers executed flawlessly, while other struggled with reliability issues and safety recalls. Diamondback Firearms followed a different path, as is clearly evident in the new full-sized, budget conscious DB FS 9.

Rolling Stone announced its list of the top five most dangerous guns. Can you guess which five gun “types” made the cut?

Thermold Magazines has a long row to hoe, but they’re intent on reshaping their image. Their mags are made in the USA, and backed with a lifetime warranty. I’ve recently taken a behind-the-scenes tour of their factory, and we’ll have full reviews up soon.

Smith’s homepage cites the intended purposes of their guns, and they say the 686 with its 6 inch barrel is good for recreational shooting, home protection, and handgun hunting. I tend to concur. While it wouldn’t be my first choice for duck hunting, it can do just about everything else. If I could only own one gun (God forbid), my choice would be easy: I’d take this 686.

There are some of us out here in the real world who scrape up funds for gun purchases. We want guns that work, and we don;t want to pay premiums for brand names. Well, here’s one. The Bersa BP9CC is a kickass way to carry concealed. The price tag isn’t going to knock you over, but the gun’s performance just might.

The Traditions Vortek striker- fired in-line muzzleloader shoots more like a GLOCK than it does your average flintlock, yet the high-tech rifle can still be used during those extra days of hunting season when the center-fire rifles and shotguns are forbidden. But once you have the gun loaded and ready, you may not be able to tell the difference.

Dozens of Missouri teachers and school staffers are now training to carry firearms while at work to protect students from active shooters. While this is good news for those who value the Second Amendment, it also raises questions about the standards, gear and costs associated with that firearms training.
