The Taurus Striker Fired TX22 | Dryfire Safe

Tuesday, February 12th 2019 06:20 PM

One of best features on the TX22 is that it comes from the factory with a threaded barrel. It comes with a protective sleeve threaded on which makes the barrel appear to be your standard garden variety factory barrel. However, the TX22 comes with an adapter that replaces that sleeve and has a threaded section beyond the slide that is threaded 1/2 x 28 for attaching a suppressor or muzzle brake if desired. It’s genuinely refreshing to see this level of detail being added directly from the factory rather than having to be purchased as an upgrade or aftermarket.

Monday, February 11th 2019 03:14 PM

The Bobwhite G2 is a side-by-side with two triggers and an English style walnut stock. A major update is that the receiver is now CNC machined as one piece, which means there is very little variation from unit to unit so if service is needed the parts are easier to fit. It’s black chromed barrel is weather-resistant but as stylish as classic bluing. It’s got a smooth tang mounted safety and a white Bradley-style bead. The barrels are both tapped for flush-mounted chokes, and five chokes are included. It’s a gun made to last.

Examining .44-Special Revolvers for Personal Defense

Friday, February 8th 2019 12:11 PM

The .44 Mag. and its .44 Spl. forebear have deep roots in American shooting culture, stretching back through top-break antecedents in .44 Russian all the way back to antebellum black-powder Colt percussion revolvers. The .44 Spl. is exactly as old as Smith & Wesson’s big, N-frame revolvers, being the debut cartridge in the New Century revolver, known to collectors and Smith buffs as the “Triple Lock.” The .44 Spl. became a platform for experimentation by handloaders and, as all good gun nerds know, through the lobbying efforts of Elmer Keith, the hot-rod .44 was subsequently introduced in Smith & Wesson’s Model 29 as a regular commercial cartridge with a longer case and the same “Magnum” nomenclature used on the medium-bore .357.

Tested: Cimarron Model P Jr. Revolver

Tuesday, February 19th 2019 10:30 AM

Not long ago, in a part of town not too far away, I walked into a local gun shop to meet with the gunsmiths on staff. While waiting my turn, I noticed a somewhat unusual single-action revolver being handled by the staff. It caught my eye because of its size. It looked to be a scaled-down version of the typical Pre-War frame replicas I've seen chambered in big-bore cartridges like the .45 Colt. I asked if I could take a look, and the staff member kindly obliged....

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

Saturday, December 8th 2018 03:08 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.

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

Friday, December 21st 2018 11:08 AM

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.
