We will be taking a break from the normal schedule here at GunsAmerica until the week before SHOT Show in January, so I thought it would be nice to share with you some of the subjects and products that I am working on for the coming year. If you haven’t read this column all along [...]

Looking for something specific for that gun nut on your list? Well if they carry concealed, you can start here. I’ve put together some recommendations that will show you really care.

Do you have a young one on your shopping list this holiday season that wants to learn to shoot? Helping young shooters learn safety and skills is one of the most important things we can all do to keep our shooting sports alive and well. Everyone of us had someone teach us either as a kid or an adult. This is the season of giving and giving the gift of a firearm to a kid is a great way to give back to our community and to the kid.

Reloading is a gear heavy sport! So there are always options for that reloader on you list. Sneak a peak at their set-up and see what they’re missing. And then check out our suggestions–we’ve got something for every price range.

Have a kid in your life that is ready to talk about real guns? I’m talking about AR-15s and AK-47s. Check out the Umarex Steel Force line. This is one of those rare gems that is fun and educational–though I will say that the fun part wins out when you switch it into six shot burst mode.

My research of late has taken me back to the subject of heating for the winter. About this time last year I reviewed the US Military H-45 stove, which burns diesel and gasoline, and at full tilt, it is a bit much of a stove to handle, and it consumes a good deal of fuel. If you already burn home heating oil to heat your house in the winter, it is an emergency heater you should take a look at. But for long term survival, where every ounce of fuel counts, there are some better options.

Need help seeing shot placement? Check out the Bullseye target camera. Live, remote images track individual hits. No need for a spotting scope, even. And it works as far as a mile away. Get flashing before/after images as soon as the bullet punches the paper.

Need more capacity for your GLOCK 43? Want to support 3D printed technology? Check out Sintercore’s mag extensions.

“Hey folks! Step right on up and see if you are up to the challenge. Hit the targets and win a prize! Everyone is a winner except the losers!” I wish there were still real shooting galleries at state fairs and carnivals. With a little work and this Henry Pump Action .22, you can make your own shooting gallery and let the fun begin.
