The Kel-Tec P3AT vs. the [...]
Smith & Wesson has been a staple of the firearms world for generations and nowhere close to being a new kid on the block. When I think of Smith & Wesson I automatically think of revolvers. What about the semi-autos that S&W produce? To start off with, here’s the specs on the SW9VE: Frame Polymer [...]
If you don’t recognize the Clerke 1st pistol don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Manufactured by Clerke Technicorp in Santa Monica California in the early 1970’s, it is not a widely recognized gun or manufacturer for that matter. This particular Clerke is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, wears chrome plating and plastic grips. One of [...]
The Kel-Tec P3AT in .380 has been on the market for a little while. The first thing you notice about it is the size. The P3AT is easily concealed in most any clothing. And the black finish helps to camouflage it further. I recently took a brand new in the box to the range with [...]
Right to free ammo! Dear President Obama, I applaud that chic who testified before the world that the right to free abortion drugs and contraception is more important than the right to free expression of religion. It helps us see clearly the only other problem that is actually more important: the right to free ammunition. [...]
It is nothing new for those with Concealed Carry Licenses to have a gun strapped on when you leaving the house to go about your day to day business. What about when you are at home? Do you carry? In recent years home invasions have become increasingly common. There are many of these homes that [...]
Gun owners are not surprised at hearing people speak of guns as dangerous or evil. We have faced these comments for many years but know that it is the gun that insures freedom when in the right hands or tyranny in the wrong hands. Most days I browse and read many articles concerning gun ownership [...]

Sporting clays is a refreshing change from the predictability of skeet and the limited variability that the game of trap offers (44 degrees side to side, 5 set positions, 8-12 foot throw height, 16 yd line, etc). Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shooting Skeet and Trap, it’s just nice having something totally different to [...]
I’ve been a wing-hunter for decades, sporting clays shooter for years and a skeet shooter for months. Suddenly, my wife decided that she wanted to give skeet a try. First off, she’s small.. scratch that .. tiny. 4’11″ (4’11 and 1/2″ if you ask her) and about 115 pounds soaking wet. If she was going [...]
In yesterday’s shoot I had shot well. A 97/100 was a great score, but it wasn’t enough to earn a medal – fourth place by a slim margin. On Day Five, I was shooting the 28 gauge event and needed to improve over my mini-world 28 gauge score of 90/100 as a matter of pride [...]
If you’re anything like me, you’ll look for ways to save some money on you’re shooting hobbies so you can do more of it, more of the time. One thing that I’ve done to save some dough for years now is reloading. I’ve been reloading centerfire cartridges since about 1990 and shotgun for the last 2 years. [...]

As lead prices rise, it’s always nice to find another way to reduce shooting costs. It is even nicer when that comes with the promise of even lighter kick out of my 20 gauge practice loads. Last weekend I picked up a relatively new offering from Claybuster: their new 20 gauge 3/4oz wad designated CB-1034-20. [...]

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday denied yet another frivolous petition by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) — an established anti-hunting group — calling for a ban on the traditional ammunition (containing lead-core components) for hunting and shooting.

In some countries like the United Kingdom, most of those rights have been taken away from the law abiding citizen. In return there are some that are trying to regain those rights [...]
