Ammo Test: Sig Sauer Elite Performance .45 ACP 230-grain V-Crown
When it comes to .45 ACP expansion performance, and I’m talking about the heavy and comparatively slow 230-grain varieties, reliable expansion can be an iffy thing. What starts as a projectile capable of leveling a city block often ends with some percentage of unexpanded slow but heavy bullets. But the Sig? Hell’s bells. No way.
The Legacy of the MP40–Full Auto Review
With news that American Tactical Imports is bringing in a new 9mm MP40, we thought we’d step back and look at the original. This German submachine gun is more than the weapon of our enemy–it is the building block for much of what we shoot today. Read our live-fire review of the 70 year old icon.
Kids And Guns: Series Introduction
When I was given an opportunity to write this series about kids and guns, I was so excited that my brain froze a little. Where do I start? How do I share the absolute LOVE for guns that pervades my life and my children’s lives? Do I show pictures of the guns that sit on my couch?

Improving The Remington 700–Part 1–Buy a Rifle
Sometimes I stand back and look at my guns and realize I’m missing something. I realized recently that I didn’t have a serious long range rifle. So I started at the beginning. This is the base rifle I’ve chosen for a long range build. So how well does a stock Remington 700 perform? I must admit it will be hard to improve on this performance.
Bring Back The M6 Scout Rifle
We spend most of our time covering new guns, but there are some old ones we’d like to see brought back. Here’s one of them. The old M6 Scout is an excellent example of a survival gun. This .410/.22 LR has a rich history, and sells for an astounding price these days.
Sig .38 Super Ammunition Test
The .38 Super faded from fashion when the .357 came onto the scene in the late 1930s. But the round runs exceptionally well in the 1911, and has some strong selling points. And now that Sig is making .38 Super for practice and carry, the time is right to consider the caliber again.
