I don't know what a "multi-burst trigger activator" is, but I assume they're talking about our very own (Seymour IN) FosTech and their ECHO trigger. Well, we have our state trying to put one of our own out of business it seems.

It seems Remington's infamous quality control (or lack thereof) is still at work here. I've seen a couple of reviews now where issues were had with the new guns. Mine runs ball ammo ok for now, but it seems to have a problem with hollow points. That, and disassembly is even more difficult on the...
I need to find some good commerical 5.7x28mm ammo for testing in ballistics gel. I've been trying to find some Elite Ammo loads but they're perpetually out of stock. Is there anyone else that makes a good defensive load that's actually for sale somewhere?
HK isn't new to striker fired pistols, they produced the VP70 and P7 after all, but for a coupe of decades they've turned their back on strikers in favor of double action autos. What I found odd about their absence from the striker fired market is that clearly American consumers favor the...
I've been shooting this pistol now for about 8 months and it's really grown on me. I abandon double action autos years ago in favor for striker fired pistols mostly because of the inconsistent trigger pull of the DA handguns. The LH9 changes that. One thing that I like about DA pistols are the...
There's been a lot of speculation swirling in the blogosphere over the Colt buyout of LWRC. Not being above the fray, I offer my $.02 on what it all possibly means.

The not-so-smart gun | The Bang Switch
The gun-grabbers are at it again. They want to force "smart guns" on us under the pretense that they'll reduce crime and increase public safety. What they're really trying to do is force gun makers out of business and to make new firearms unattractive to...
I need (yes, need) a M1 Garand in 30-06. I'm looking not for a collector but for a solid, good looking shooter. This is for my YouTube channel so function and good looks are the most important. Not real picky on make of the rifle. I would prefer a real US military rifle but would settle for a...
A buddy of mine needs the services of a INGO member. He's an attorney that helps out with firearms law in our great state. I've heard he frequents our board and I'm looking to find his user name so I can put him in touch with my bud.
Thanks for any help!
I was given an exclusive on the press release tonight from Guns & Ammo and their response to the Dick Metcalf article from the Dec. 2013 issue.

We've talked about it for a while now and there's been quite a bit of speculation...
Now it's about to happen. The ATF has submitted a proposed regulation change to the Obama White House to change the way NFA trusts work. Once this regulation change takes effect, you will now have to submit...
My recent video about the new Arsenal SAM7SF rifle brought out the typical "AK's are cheap junk" comments both in the video comments and on forums where the video was shared. I've never understood the mentality that a $1500 AK that's made to a high degree of quality is bad while a $1500 AR made...
I've seen a lot of discussion around the subject of "stacking" mags, or alternating the type of rounds in your magazine. In my recent ballistic test videos I've seen a large number of comments from viewers who recommend this practice thinking it gives them an advantage.
I figured it was time to...
I've been carrying Critical Duty 9mm ammo for a while now because of its claimed superior performance in barrier penetration. I decided to see if it lived up to the lofty performance claims I've read about online. One article in Shooting Illustrated claimed the 9mm Critical Duty round could...
I've seen a lot of discussions about .380 and how effective it is as a defensive cartridge. I decided to do some testing of the .380 to see how both hollow points and ball rounds penetrated in 10% gel. I also compared it to my favorite 9mm carry load, Critical Duty...
Many of my viewers/readers have asked me to look into low cost alternatives to the big brand names in defensive handguns. I've been looking into this for a couple of months and I think I've settled on a solid performer to recommend you give consideration to.

Matt, who writes for my blog, was involved in a self defense shooting a few years ago. The anniversary of the event is approaching and he wanted to share his experience with us. I'm glad he did. I think there are some lessons in his story for many of us, even though Matt is a Sheriff and this...
I wanted to share this graphic reminder of why taking basic safety precautions is critical in our hobby/sport.
Don't worry, it's not gross. But if you're an AR lover, it might bring a tear to your eye.

If you carry concealed, you may come into contact with police. The most likely scenario is a routine traffic stop.
How should you act if your goal is a low stress interaction? Matt, our resident 17 year veteran officer who has been on both sides of such encounters, offers some pointers.

We've all heard that saying before, but this recent news story sweeping the gun forms really drives that point home.
Check out this blog post and please share your thoughts here. I'm curious what everyone's take is on the event.
