It’s fun to joke about how Dillinger died of “lead poisoning,” but lead exposure is no joke. Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over a period of months or years. It can be particularly harmful to children, causing developmental delays, learning difficulties, and a range of other health issues. Lead…
Want to own the last 1911 issued to the U.S. military? Prefer not to pay $10K? Well, do I have an Honest Review for you … Türkiye has transformed itself into a global powerhouse of gun manufacturing in the last decade. This European country is now leading the way with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques that earn…
When it comes to defensive ammo, hollow points are the name of the game. That’s because a hollow point projectile expands upon impact, which does two things: First, it helps prevent the bullet from exiting the target (thus endangering innocent bystanders), and second, it causes the bullet to mushroom out into several sharp angles that…
How often have you read breathless news headlines about some gun owner or another who died and left behind an “arsenal” of guns and ammunition? Do you ever skim down to the last paragraph to see how much stuff the guy had, and whether your own collection would scare the journalist more? You should; it’s…
SIG Sauer just released a product that most of American shooters never asked for and frankly don’t want. The reception online in general has been harsh to say the least. Ridicule has been leveled at the unholy amalgamation of stuff to make a rifle, all the way to the marketing strategy and price point. The…
Double action/single action all-metal pistols are no longer in vogue. Once the Beretta M9 pistol lost the U.S. military contract to a polymer single-action striker-fired pistol, the Tackleberry types moved on to the next high-speed, low-drag gear. I wonder if this is how the hardcore 1911 fanatics felt back in the 1980’s when they were…

Ever since the FBI Hostage Rescue Team began deploying Springfield Armory Professional 1911 pistols in 1998, the gun gained a mythic status among users. Thanks to the strict accuracy and performance requirements imposed on the Professional by FBI standards, it became one of the most sought-after 1911s on the market—in part due to its reputation,…
The Rost Martin RM1C is a compact polymer pistol that is about the size of a Glock 19 for comparison. Big enough to serve as a duty-sized pistol, but small enough to also be easily concealed. What differentiates the RM1c from other “budget” pistols in the same class is that this is from a brand-new…
You have probably spent time preparing for things like natural disasters, power grid failures, and more. But with all of that work dealing with the here and now, how much thought have you put into your afterlife? Relax, I’m not here to save your soul—that ain’t my department—but once said soul is gone from this…
I have successfully made it through my 14 or 15th Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show. I feel like it was a productive week and I was able to wheel and deal, shake thousands of hands, meet tons of new people, and hug old friends. What’s amazing is that this show was the first…
The original KelTec Sub2000 is the granddaddy of folding backup rifles. Sure, there were others, but the Sub2000 was the alpha wolf of the pack, and it was the one that got to make all the puppies.
