When Browning ceased production of the Hi Power pistol in 2018, it looked like it was the end of one of the most prolific fighting pistols of all time. However, in 2021, Springfield Armory introduced the SA-35 pistol, which was an updated clone of the iconic Browning Hi Power, and since then the platform has experienced a resurgence, with a lot of younger and newer shooters gaining an appreciation of the last gun design in which John Browning was involved. Now, Springfield Armory has made the SA-35 even more appealing to those interested in a compact, concealed-carry pistol with a…

Back in Ancient Rome, students used wax tablets to write lessons, solve problems and practice their work. When mistakes happened, the wax was simply smoothed flat so the student could begin again. The Romans called this tabula rasa, which translates to “blank slate.” No frustration. No emotional spiral. No dramatic announcement that they were “just not naturally gifted at Roman academia.” They simply reset the surface and kept learning. Shooters could use a little more of that sort of energy. Too many shooters step onto the range carrying the emotional residue of every missed shot, every bad stage and every…

No stranger to rebirth, Colt has recently spun off an optics division to make sure that, in a world where optics are considered to be standard equipment, a fully kitted-out gun can be all-pony. To achieve this goal, in addition to introducing magnified optics, Colt is also offering a rifle red-dot and magnifier, along with a handgun red dot. The CSQ-1 is Colt’s new flagship rifle red-dot optic. The CSQ-1 uses the CSQ Multirole MRAD ranging and BDC reticle. The CSQ-1 is a closed emitter red-dot optic designed for rifles. It has a 7075-T6 aluminum housing with a 1.25 x…

When I first got into shooting, I was obsessed with doing so on the cheap. So I bought Romanian WASRs and SARs in 7.62×39 mm and 5.45×39 mm. Back then, a case of centerfire surplus ammo could be had for under $100 and would last you through a few weeks of carefree plinking at the range. If you were into World War II firearms at that time, you had an even better market; Mosin-Nagants were around $50, and 440-round sealed “spam-cans” of ammo were around $45! (If we only knew then, we would have bought a shipping container and filled…

This is the first instalment of a three-part elk hunting story by FHF founder, Paul Lewis. Stay tuned for the next two segments.The silence was the worst part. Not the sudden silence of elk themselves, but the silence right after the shot, that sudden crushing, anxiety-filled pit in my stomach. For the entire morning of September 21st, the river bottom I was hunting was a chaotic, screaming, bugling rut fest. Now, the big satellite bull, the one I had just wounded with a poorly placed arrow, had vanished into the head-high marsh grass. The herd had fallen quiet, melting away…
