Please tell me what you think of it. I have not seen one in real life. It appears that it would work very well in the light rifle role if it is powerful enough for your purposes. It is very light, 4.4 lbs/ 2kg, shoots .223, takes AR mags loaded in from the side. At this point I am at the "wow...

I found this article interesting and will follow the story with interest. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/09/14/top-tiger-hunter-called-find-beast-accused-killing-13-people/ In India, a tigress and her cubs have taken to eating people. "India's most celebrated hunter," Nawab Shafath Ali...

Some recent discussions here have pointed out--correctly in my opinion--that a good red dot sight will do a lot of scoutish things very well. It is faster than a ghost ring and capable of pretty darn good accuracy. If you need more target discrimination you can mount a magnifier behind the dot...

It takes Ruger Security 9 mags or Glock mags. A short writeup about it: https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2018/1/2/first-look-ruger-pc-carbine/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0118

I have noticed that some shooters have a clear favorite type of handgun which they use all the time. Something else might be carried occasionally but that requires a clear reason, such as needing something much smaller or much more powerful, for some specific purpose. For me, the all-the-time...

For a long while it was taken for granted that revolvers were "more reliable" than auto pistols. Auto pistols of improved design, and their rise to general use for police and military purposes, led some people to dispute the "more reliable" claim. There are lots of things that can go wrong with...

"Smart guns" are a dead end technology. Smart holsters? That's an idea that may give us everything we want and nothing we don't. Here is an early example that has me thinking this may be a direction worth pursuing. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/9/26/tested-eaa-s-smart-abdo/

I notice they were still using the old thumb-ejection method. Over all, a good presentation of a smooth technique. "...reload your revolver in five seconds or less."

Article addresses some of the questions flying around about this new revolver. Includes a useful illustration of the lockwork. http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/nra/ar_201705/index.php#/64

I just got an email from the friendly folks at Steyr, inviting me to purchase a rimfire scout rifle they have introduced. http://steyrarms.com/firearms/scout-rfr.html It's most probably a great .22 but it rather falls short of the scout rifle ideal of firing a broadly useful full-power...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/military-tests-new-game-changer-10073014?service=responsive You thought your Super Belchfire Magnum's muzzle velocity was impressive? Battery technology will need to get better before electromagnetic guns are replacements for the chemically powered...

It is an old trick in Scandinavia and the UK and Commonwealth nations. You rapid-fire a bolt action rifle by gripping the bolt knob in thumb and forefinger, pressing the trigger with your middle finger. If your middle finger will not reach the trigger on the rifle you are using you may try your...

From a previous thread: The question deserves, I think, a fuller answer than it got at the time, so let me re-ask it. #1 buck gives better pattern density than 00 buck and surer penetration than #4 buck, and was hyped at one time as better than either for police and home defense uses. The...

...such as the TC Contender, or the Super Comanche, or the Rossi Matched Pair pistol. Do you see this class of armament as useful, and if so, for what? What do you use yours for, or what niches do you see this type of gun as fitting into? I see my Contender as good in the woods bumming...

:fire: :fire: :fire: ============================== Executive summary: There are many ways to describe (and advertise) pepper spray hotness. This leads to apples-to-oranges comparisons of one brand to another. There is, though, a reasonable way to measure a spray's hotness and the Canadians...

Discussion here about the scout rifle concept and general purpose rifles got me thinking. It would clarify discussion to catalog all the uses to which rifles are put. Then it would be easier to discuss whether a rifle is 'general purpose' or nearly so. These are the uses I've come up with...

http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/wwIItms/TM9_270_1943.pdf I found it while looking around for something else. It's a PDF file of the 1943 War Department manual on the weapon: how to use it, take care of it, etc. I find it kind of interesting to look at how they did things back then. The Weaver...
