The range was packed today; always a good sign for gun owners. It was a good mix of experienced and new shooters in all of the range areas: shotguns, rifles and handguns, and it was truly a melting pot of humanity. I can’t speak Cantonese, but my firing line neighbor […]

I work in a great setting; at the top of a mountain road, back in the middle of the woods, where I can actually own, shoot and enjoy firearms. In the distance I can hear heavy earth moving equipment at work, but I’m going to enjoy this freedom for as […]

For anyone searching for a pistol that illustrates why big 9’s are relevant, the SP-01 would be an excellent example; modest recoil, long sight radius and three times the magazine capacity of a typical revolver. If you are like me, a fan but not an alumnus of Ed McGivern’s school […]

The personality of a hard hitting gun is unique in comparison to other types of firearms. Every demand placed on the gun’s design is amplified by the power and size of its cartridge. Hardware is larger and more robust, the stock must endure huge amounts of stress without fracturing and […]

I’m sure most firearm enthusiasts are aware of CZ-USA‘s American Safari Magnum product line. Guns run from field gradeto fancy; a base price a tick over $1000, the fancy grade just over $1,700.

It’s not that I don’t like Glocks, it’s…well, no, that’s it precisely, I don’t like Glocks. It’s not like they’ve ever said or done anything to me personally. They haven’t disparaged my family name or backed into my Chevy truck and drove off without leaving a note, it’s just that […]

I know ballistic gelatin is impressive. We can shoot holes in Bill Cosby’s finest, watch it wiggle and wobble, and establish just how well a bullet would perform on…boneless, hideless game with innards uniformly near the density of water. Something along the lines of the greater horned African water balloon. […]

As you can see, I’ve been busy; lots of noise and chronograph tipping muzzle blast, the acrid odor of smokeless powder constantly in the air, big rounds and hard kicking rifles. The 375 H&H produced some very respectable numbers, clearly a cartridge that can always live up to its reputation. […]

I was disappointed with both Ruger and Hornady during the introduction of the new 375 Ruger cartridge and firearms. I felt both companies were less than helpful by withholding basic specs and performance data, after sending out product announcement information and shipping production rifles in December 2006. Sort of like […]
