Guns

I have been waiting a long time for the bump stock to come of age. When I first encountered the SlideFire SSAR-15 back in 2011, it was relatively unknown. My article actually sold more stocks in one day, and picked up more dealers, than all of the other press that SlideFire had received prior to that, combined. It was the beginning of full auto speeds for the masses, no NFA tax certificate or 6 month wait required. Back then the stock was $350, for what really was just two pieces of plastic, but we all bought them, and for good reason. As my original article explained, the original product did come with a “BATFE letter,” but none of us knew how long that would last, and we all wanted one before “they banned it.” Well, they never did lol. And go figure we now have a much more mature product, with a rock solid feel, great ergonomics and excellent fit and finish, for over $100 cheaper. Sold.

Cabot Guns has announced their plan to build not one, but two of most exotic 1911 pistols ever made. Their choice of material: meteorite. This is not only ambitious, it’s completely unprecedented.

Brand new from Ruger–a new polymer framed pistol. The Ruger American Pistol is going to shake things up. So how does the new gun stack up? We’ve got one in for review.

The original Henry may well be lost to history, but you can still shoot a Henry Original. And this monster lever-action is an experience. This historic firearm was once a monumental leap forward in firearms technology. How does it stack up today?

When it comes to Glock pistols, believe it or not, some are better than others. We take a look at the 5 best and most important Glocks made to-date.

Aero, Ballistic Advantage and SilencerCo teamed up to build this suppressed .308 Winchester carbine upper designed to run full-time with an Omega can.

Like most Colt Automatic Pistols, John Browning had a hand in the design of the Woodsman. I say he had a hand in it because this one was not designed by him alone. Still, nothing runs like an old Colt.

Sometimes the most intriguing developments in the gun world go almost unnoticed. Here’s my take on the most interesting developments I saw this year. I’m not talking about popular guns–these are genuine innovations.

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.
