22 SAS has played a part in every major conflict that involved the UK since WW2. These young studs are tabbing their way across the Falklands.

We are truly living in the golden age of handguns, as this week’s test model will attest. My test model is the 509C or compact. While I usually prefer to get my hands on the full-sized model first, the 509C brings everything I like in a pistol to the table.

Gun belts just might be one of the most overlooked and neglected pieces of gear among gun owners. So, which gun belts are the current frontrunners – and why? Read on to find out which manufacturers are leading the pack and what belts they make that might best fit your needs.

I’m comfortable in saying that this scope is hitting well above its pay grade and competing quite well with scopes costing $1,000 more. It has great glass, great turrets, perfect tracking, and checks all the right boxes for a long-range precision riflescope.

At $30-$55 a pop, Birchwood-Casey’s targets are small enough to be challenging and cheap enough to buy four or five for the price of one centerfire-rated target. They’re also light, portable, reactive, and easy to set up.

I fondly remember picking up my grandfathers old dusty, faded hunting magazines and reading about hunting rifles. Unless you were buying a rifle from Kenny Jarrett, or other custom builders, sub-MOA rifles were nary to be found. Sometime during the late 90’s or early 2000, factory rifles started to appear that could produce MOA results with factory ammunition. These days, companies guarantee MOA accuracy and owners seem to fly into a fit of panic if their new rifle fails to group 1.047 inches at 100 yards. I recently got to spend some time behind a Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and had no problems hitting a 24-inch plate at 1,800 yards. How times have changed.
