Learning to be competent with a gun isn’t rocket science, but it is going to require some hard work on your part. And there are no shortcuts.

A controversial topic to some, this week we are going to talk about the truck gun concept.

In the realm of defensive handgun the most commonly neglected area is in weapon manipulations for malfunctions and reloads. Many people are exceptional shots, but if their gun goes unexpectedly quiet, an internal “oh crap” surfaces and the scramble begins.

The U.S. Marine Corps wants to order 50,000 additional Heckler & Koch M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles for wider infantry use.

As we sit here in 2017, there probably isn’t a bigger controversy than whether an electronic red dot sight is acceptable for concealed carry.

To port or not to port? As with selecting any pistol, there are drawbacks and benefits. For those who are recoil sensitive and like to plink on the range — Smith & Wesson has got something for you. With the release of the M&P 2.0, there is also some other relatively new expansions from the M&P line. This week I got my hands on two very impressive pieces from the Performance Center, the 9L and 40 ported.

Who doesn’t love America’s favorite rifle — the AR-15. For the last few years, the AR-15 has rapidly become the 1911 of rifles. There are options for customization so thorough that companies like Brownells now ship a special catalog just for the options available. And every time I think everything possible has been done, a company proves me wrong. This week, Cobalt Kinetics shipped two models of rifle for testing, and I was not disappointed.

A small range of rifles is affected by this recall but due to the nature of this problem all RPR owners should check their guns for safety.

If that sounds like the government was caught handing out guns to anyone asking for them, it’s because it was.
