If you were breaking into a home in the middle of the night, what sound would cause you to foul your britches? The sound of a round getting jacked into a pump shotgun? The sound of 1911 slide being racked? Any others? IMHO, it would be a tough choice between the pump shotty and the 1911.

I gots a new Remmy 22 auto-getum. I've generally been sceptical about 22 autos reliability for several years but I recently shot my son's old Rem nylon stock 22. It never jammed so I got enough confidence in Remington to get a new model 552. The fit and the finish are great. The wood is...

I was worried about getting a new shotgun because I've heard "they don't build 'em like they used to" so much. Anyway, I took the plunge and got a new 870 with beautiful walnut last weekend. The good news is the action is slicker than a snotty marble and the fit and finish is as good as any 40...

I can understand journalists using the word "bullet" when they mean "ammo" because they obviously don't know what they are writing about. However, it seems that gun enthusiasts could get it right. When they say something like "I loaded bullets in my automatic" I ask them if they drove their...

I'm getting rid of all my Winchester powder and brass. If anyone in northwest Arkansas wants it, it's free for the axin'. The powder is 296, 748, and 760. The brass is 38 Super, 38 Special, 357, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 30-30, and 30-06.

There are no gun shops nearby that have a good selection of guns so I'm forced to special order what I want. Most of the time the gun that comes in has awful wood - the stock has knots, smeared checkering, etc. Even when I ordered a top-of-the-line O/U I was very dissapointed (especially...

I've reloaded rifle and handgun ammo for about 20 years and I have absolutely no problems with it. However, my experience with shotgun shell reloading is extremely limited. I've used a Lee hand loader and I'm ready to move up to a honest-to-goodness press. I'm looking at a MEC Sizemaster. My...

I saw a Thomson Contender 22 semi at the local gun shop over the weekend and it was so pretty I had lustful thoughts. I've heard that particular model is extremely accurate but it will jam up if it isn't fed the ammo it likes. I've had terrible luck with 22 semi rifles jamming and I had got...

I've noticed Colt is offering Gold Cups again. Jeff Cooper wrote in an article years ago that Gold Cups were accurate but not durable when full power rounds were run through them. He claimed that they would have to be taken to a gunsmith every few thousand rounds to be tuned. He recommended...
