Smith and Wesson have been out of the shotgun game for quite some time. 2021 is the year in which they came back home to the shotgun market. The 12 gauge, pump-action, S&W M&P 12 was quite the shocker, especially to shotgun nerds like myself.

If you are not yet familiar with Langdon Tactical Technologies (LTT), it’s a name you need to know. Founder, Ernest Langdon seems to ferret out the guns in the marketplace that have all the marks of excellence but can be improved to perfection with his Midas touch. And the latest offering from LTT is its treatment of the Hellcat. Langdon is best known for trigger jobs, from drop-in upgrade kits to fully customized overhauls.

I don’t spend all that much time talking about AR-15 upgrades, because I find that many bolt ons are basically chopper chrome.

I’ve been converted by Winchester’s thoughtful design choices and recommend this rifle for new shooters and anyone looking for a feature-packed plinker without breaking the bank.

Boys and Girls, this is perhaps the best week in guns we have ever seen. Eclipsing even the previous best week in 2019 when we got our full size XDM 10mm. Because as of today, we have a new contender in the CCW category that shoots God’s own Centimeter. As the High Priest of the Cult of the 10, I am more than unreasonably excited. I’m positively giddy.

The plot device has been exercised so many times in Hollywood as to have become a trope. Dishonest local law enforcement has the muscle to impose their nefarious will on innocent local townsfolk.
