I started thinking about my ideal qualities of an SHTF shotgun. You know, when the masses become all cranky and protesty because the Kardashians stopped doing reality TV. While pondering all the ways civilization could end, I came up with a list of ten things I really care about in a save-my-bacon and shoot-my-bacon shotgun.

Are psychotropic drugs responsible for mass shootings? Do these mood-altering drugs make society more violent?

From the man who brought you the first open-sourced 3-D printable firearm, now comes the Ghost Gunner, a miniature CNC mill that allows one to readily make AR lower receivers at home.

The Sig P226 Elite SAO has classic Sig internals – not the hinged recoil action and barrel bushing we’re accustomed to seeing in a 1911. Yet it offers the benefits of a constant, light trigger to aid in accurate shooting. Unlike the 1911, it offers a double stack magazine so you get 15 rounds of ammo, plus an extra in the chamber. Oh yeah, and it’s chambered in 9mm.

We’re opening up an in-depth series on safes with a look at a convenient method of fast-access handgun storage. The Winchester eVault Micro 3.0 is a deceptively simple biometric safe. With the simple swipe of a finger (or any on of 15 fingers–if you have that many) the eVault opens. It is a basic level of security perfect for a desk, a bedside, or the car.

Don’t stand beside someone shooting an AR. It is loud. Even with ear protection. And if you’re the one shooting, watch where you put that support hand. Don’t reach too far forward. Or, better yet, pick up a Kineti-Tech muzzle brake and sound redirecting sleeve. This combo solves both problems. And it is an easy DIY.

GunsAmerica and HAVA are pleased to offer this Mossberg MMR Tactical for auction.

It is a worthwhile cause and a kick-ass rifle. The auction is live now, and will close at 8:00 p.m. EST on Sept 21st.Read on for the details.

I make a habit of checking assumptions when I believe something that a lot of other people believe. When I am online these days, all of the ad tracking systems have me pegged as a “prepper,” and I get ads for everything from freeze dried food to gold bullion. I have become a commodity, and it has made me feel like perhaps I should do a little research into just how imminent this global collapse is likely to be.

When Savage called and asked if GunsAmerica would review one of their Youth rifles, I intended to do it right and have an actual kid do the shooting. Then they asked if they could send one in Muddy Girl. While this camo pattern won’t prevent boys from shooting it, I thought I’d try to find a girl who knew her way around guns. After a few phone calls, I lined up an 11 year old. But when the rifle arrived, it was a .308. How well can an 11 year old girl handle a .308?
