Armed Citizen® Today On Memorial Day, a 27-year-old man whose motives were unknown allegedly began shooting inside the Price Chopper grocery store in Pleasant Hill, Mo. He struck a teen worker and fatally struck a 45-year-old woman inside the store, but when approached by two armed citizens, he turned his gun on himself. The suspect was nonetheless reported to be in stable condition at the hospital and is facing charges of first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action and two counts of first-degree assault. The teen was also listed in stable condition. The police chief praised the two armed…

As an admitted bass geek, I paid somewhat close attention to the latest Bassmaster Classic, which was held on the Tennessee River earlier this year. A relative newcomer to the scene, Dylan Nutt, took top honors in that prestigious tournament with a three-day bag weighing nearly 67 pounds. The win earned him a cool $300,000, and solidified his place amongst the most talented anglers in the world.His win was predicated on a true understanding of how to use forward facing sonar, the latest iteration of the good old depth finder. This technology, which allows anglers to see and target fish…

I love making and shooting lead projectiles for my 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. My standard load consists of a 200-grain Lyman 452460 bullet seated over a healthy charge of Unique powder in a Winchester case, initiated by a Federal large pistol primer that chronographs slightly slower than 1,000 fps. It is more accurate than I can shoot, and it stops varmints as well as game animals decisively. Being a fan of Colt pistols, I picked up a used Single Action Army chambered in .45 Colt not too long ago, to go along with a .45 Colt Ruger Vaquero…

Sightmark launched its first family of prismatic riflescopes: the Strikon FMP (Fixed Magnification Prismatic) and the Strikon VMP (Variable Magnification Prismatic). Developed for modern sporting rifles, home-defense carbines, hunting shotguns and competitive shooting, the Strikon family represents Sightmark’s entry into a growing optic category with the company’s hallmark commitment to rugged, accessible performance. Prismatic riflescopes use a glass-prism system rather than the traditional erector-tube configuration in most scopes. This results in a shorter, more compact optical package that delivers greater edge-to-edge clarity, reduced distortion and a brighter picture without added bulk. The Strikon FMP and VMP bring that technology to…
