For my money, the only two parts of the gun that actually matter are the barrel and the trigger. (Optics, I consider to be a completely different discussion.) The barrel is the only part that really actually matters for accuracy, and the trigger is the most important part for how you interface with that barrel.

I have no qualms about saying in this very public forum, with my real name attached, that if Clinton had been elected president, there would have been an all-out civil war within six months time.

MantisX attaches to your firearm and records trigger pull performance data for every shot you take. If you believe that “what gets measured, gets fixed” the MantisX Firearms Training System is something you might be interested in adding to your range bag.

The people did not want a politician. The people wanted to be seen. Donald Trump convinced those people that he could see them. Hillary Clinton did not.

We can’t give up on defending ourselves because it’s not popular with today’s biased media.

Let’s face it: Even when they’re in a safe, your valuables face plenty of threats. And you can’t always be there to defend against those threats. Many of us spend a considerable amount of time away from home, which is one of the reasons why we have gun safes in the first place. As I have said in my previous articles in this series, gun safes buy you time against threats such as unauthorized access, theft and fire; they do not prevent threats entirely.

Prior to Samuel Colt’s 1835-1836 patents for the revolver, American handguns were, for the most part, variations of European-style single shot pistols, first of the flintlock type and later the new cap-and-ball percussion lock design. There were double barrels, swivel barrels, and even multiple barreled Pepperbox pistols, but the revolver was at best a theoretical design before 1836. This is not to say that revolvers did not exist before Colt’s patent, they just didn’t work. Samuel Colt’s design did. This is the story of how it came to be.

Who are you voting for? And why? What are your thoughts on Trump and Hillary? Who do you think wins it?

Rimfire guns are small, relatively quiet, and they don’t pack a lot of punch, meaning the average recoil felt is much softer than a large caliber round, which makes them ideal for small frames and small hands.
