Mossberg 590 Nightstick – Old School Cool

Wednesday, January 16th 2019 02:47 PM

The original Shockwave is a firearm, but it doesn’t fit any other category. It isn’t a handgun, because the barrel isn’t rifled, and its overall length is greater than 26 inches. It isn’t a rifle, because it doesn’t have a rifled barrel, and isn’t designed to be shoulder fired. And it isn’t a shotgun or SBS, because none of us have been arrested yet. Nor has the ATF shackled the door at O. F Mossberg and sons.

Canik Elite Combat – Setting a High Bar

Tuesday, January 15th 2019 03:15 PM

Canik is one of the newer players in the striker fired gun world, at least for the US market. In an already crowded field, they have taken some pretty serious ground via a combination of hard-earned reputation and value for the dollar. Imported by our friends over at Century Arms, the Canik brand has proven not only solid but highly adaptable.

The Manliest American Who Ever Lived and the Gun That Didn’t Stop Him

Monday, January 14th 2019 03:53 PM

This is an early Colt Model 1892 revolver. Teddy Roosevelt wielded an M1892 that had been recovered from the USS Maine sunk in Havana harbor during his time with the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War. Schrank rushed the President and produced a .38-caliber Colt revolver. He fired a single round that struck Roosevelt squarely in the chest. Roosevelt stumbled momentarily but then raised his hat and smiled at the crowd. A.O. Girard, a former Rough Rider, and his personal bodyguard, tackled Schrank with the assistance of one of Roosevelt’s male secretaries. When quietly queried as to his condition by his aide Harry Cochems Teddy Roosevelt responded, “Harry, he pinked me a bit.”

Going the Distance with the New Performance Center T/C LRR

Saturday, December 8th 2018 11:08 PM

I was ready to rock ‘n roll earlier this month when I made my way to central Texas to try my hand at a 1000-yard target with the new Long-Range Rifle (LRR) from Smith & Wesson’s Performance Center and Thompson/Center. Advances in manufacturing have closed the gap between average consumers and long-range shooting, and out-of-the-box options like the LRR have put 1000+ yard targets within reach. Chassis rifles have become especially popular, and the Performance Center T/C’s new offering is a great choice. Feature-rich and well-made, the LRR promises excellent accuracy and total customizability. I hoped I could pull it out of the box and go the distance even in less-than-ideal long-range shooting conditions — I wasn’t disappointed.

In-State vs. Out-of-State Hunting

Tuesday, December 4th 2018 12:35 AM

Home is definitely where the heart is and hunting is no exception to that. Some of my spots are like second homes to me—not just because of how much I frequent them—but because of how comfortable I am there. I know every rock, rub and game trail in the area. I know where I am going to sleep, how long it takes to hike to certain destinations and what time of year and where I can expect to see critters. Those are just a few advantages of returning to these areas. They also hold so much sentimental value to me. These are the spots that shaped me into the hunter I am today. They are the reason I hunt the way that I do. Someday, I hope to bring my future kids to these spots to show them things like where dad shot his first bear or where I saw my first bugling bull. There is nothing like home sweet home.

The Browning Hi Power: The Superlative WWII Combat Handgun That Played Both Sides

Friday, December 21st 2018 07:08 PM

We evaluated a pair of wartime Hi-Powers, one produced by FN during the German occupation and the other made by Inglis originally for use by the Chinese. The German gun has fixed sights, while the Canadian version accepts a shoulder stock and includes the adjustable rear sight. The Belgian/German pistol is a thing of beauty and pure joy on the range. The Canadian version is a bit past its prime and rattles slightly when shaken.
