The lore surrounding the brute force of the Smith & Wesson S&W500 is legion. There have been plenty of tales about what this gun is capable of doing, both to the lackadaisical shooter and the intended target. I decided I needed to sort through some and separate fact from fiction and test one for myself.

Sometimes you find a product that just works. No false advertising, no gimmicks—just a piece of equipment that functions precisely as it’s designed. That’s what I found with Caldwell’s Lead Sled Solo from Midsouth Shooters.

“The solution to armed violence, America’s fatal flaw, is not unthinkable,” says Philip Alpers.

Do you know how a Glock works?

“Thirty-three thousand people a year die from guns and we’ve got to do a better job, my friends,” said Clinton, not bothering to mention that two-thirds of them are suicides and one-third are homicides.

I’ve always been a big fan of .357 Sig caliber. Yeah, I know, it’s got more recoil and muzzle blast than 9mm. On the other hand, it comes darn close, and sometimes matches, the performance of the classic 125-grain .357 Magnum round. It’s hard to argue with the effectiveness of that cartridge.

The TandemKross 10/22 Magazine Take Down Tool makes it possible to detail strip, deep clean, and properly reassemble Ruger 10/22 magazines with the factory specified 1¼ turns of rotor spring tension required for proper function. And it does this for just $9.99.

I’d heard the positive feedback from others about this tool kit. The only thing left to do was order one for myself and see if it was really as easy to use as others described. I certainly had enough dirty magazines to try it out on.
