If I’m being honest, the whole idea for this article came from something that is totally understandable but also kind of annoying. People love to ask me what it’s like to hunt with Steve Rinella, and I get it. He’s one of the biggest names in the sphere, and he has a wealth of experience.But, I never know if they are asking me what his personality is like, if he’s a good hunter, if he tells amazing stories around the campfire every night, if he’s a considerate cuddler in a tent, or what. I’m not going to address all of…

Reminiscent of the stocks of the classic firearms of the past, the exquisitely-grained American walnut grips of the WOOX Leggenda folding knife confer an aura of timeless beauty that modern synthetic scales cannot match. About the only material that I can think of that might be even more attractive than walnut in this application would be elk antler.

It is almost like feeding a parking meter, 24/7, and 365 days a year. It is bad enough having taxes, mortgage payments, and insurance costs, but adding umpteen subscriptions is burdensome. It saps us of our livelihood. Consider how our lives have changed in the past two decades: We used to buy a CD or DVD once, and it was ours for a lifetime. Now, we are mostly expected…

My wife and I are both longtime NRA members. I was looking at a recent issue of one of your publications that featured the SAR9sc Gen 3 on the cover. Once again, I started to question the barrel information. Please note I’m not saying or implying there are any lies or misinformation to deceive us customers; I just want to know for myself the true answers. Here is my question: If we take a 1911 like my Springfield Ronin and my Kimber Pro Carry II, both in .45 ACP, and measure from where the front edge of the ejection port…
