Welcome to another episode of Gun of the Week, and today we’re down on the range with the new Springfield Armory Hellcat in .380 ACP that was recently released. This is a slightly less powerful caliber than the traditional 9 mm chambering that’s been available in the Hellcat since its introduction in 2019. So, you may be asking yourself, why would I want a .380 ACP when 9 mm is available? And, that’s an excellent question. It comes down basically to recoil: 9 mm in a small gun like the Hellcat, while not terrible, can certainly be significant. Also, as…

It’s been decades since a major ammo company has given a .25-caliber rifle cartridge a second glance. Prior to this year, the 57-year-old .25-06 Remington was the most recent quarter-bore to achieve any kind of commercial success, and many had given up on the category after the rise of 6.5mm and 6mm options.But now, inexplicably, the quarter-bore is making a comeback. Hornady released their 25 Creedmoor in May of last year (click here for a deep dive into that cartridge), and just a few weeks ago, Weatherby came out with their own take on the .257–the 25 RPM.I’ve been on…

The catalysts that fuel consumer demand are often surprising, although it’s unlikely firearm-industry analysts failed to predict this one. Now that the price of a National Firearm Act (NFA) tax stamp dropped from $200 to zero, and with .22 LR suppressors proving to be a bargain among the hearing-safety devices, the tea leaves are strongly aligned for a resurgence in rimfire guns, ammo and accessories.

(Continued from Part 2.) In Part 2 of this series, we reviewed the Trumpet Judgments, and how the people on earth will be affected by these catastrophic events. I sincerely hope that the pre-Tribulation rapture believers are correct, and that Christians will be gone to heaven by this point. However, what if Christians end up having to endure part or all of the Tribulation? If so, are you emotionally prepared for this possibility? In this installment, we will look at some of the specific events associated with the False Prophet, the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast and the One-World…
