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…
The National Rifle Association is inviting Americans, coast-to-coast, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States—and the freedom for which it stands—by exercising their rights by participating in the “ARC Across America” National Challenge. The nationwide competitive shooting event, which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, brings responsible firearm owners together in friendly competition while learning new skills and honoring the traditions that helped found and shape this great nation. The challenge allows firearm owners across the country to compete in ARC matches at participating clubs and ranges and see where they rank against fellow competitors nationwide. At…
Armed Citizen® Today A couple in San Jacinto, Calif., were spending time with their neighbors on June 5 when an intruder made his way inside their home. When the woman decided to go inside to charge her phone, she came face to face with a man who started firing shots at her. She ran outside yelling: “There’s a stranger in the house with a gun!” Her husband, knowing their daughter was inside, attempted to go in, but the stranger fired on him as well. The armed citizen apparently managed to duck down enough to avoid the gunfire and then shot…
A while back, I stumbled across a witticism from author Robert A. Rinker (“Understanding Firearm Ballistics”) that anyone claiming their firearm has no muzzle flash should try keeping their eyes open while shooting. While there are exceptions, his point that some amount of flash can be expected from centerfire rifle-caliber firearms remains valid. The primary muzzle flash we see in low light is caused by still-burning powder and super-heated gases exiting the muzzle together. Primary flash is fairly uniform from shot to shot when using the same ammunition. Typical ways to manage it include lower-powered loads, reduced-flash powders, ammo tailored…
For many of us, our first gun was a BB gun. These simple air guns typically launched a single BB before requiring us to manually power the next shot, and they taught us our earliest fundamentals of marksmanship, safety and responsible firearm ownership. Over the past two decades, the world of BB guns has gotten way more sophisticated than the simple muscle-powered models of our youth. A case in point is Crosman’s new-for-2026 Raiden, the company’s first battery-powered, full-automatic BB gun. The Raiden is Crosman’s first battery-powered full-auto BB gun, powered by a rechargeable battery stored in the buttstock. The…
The National Rifle Association has gone through a period of tremendous upheaval after the courts found former NRA officials guilty of financial mismanagement. Now, the legal troubles continue as the NRA is taking on it’s own fundraising arm in court. The post NRA Controversy Continues appeared first on GUNS Magazine. Read the full article here
Mossberg’s 590 is based on one of the most popular pump-action shotguns ever made: the Mossberg 500. For those who are seeking a shotgun that’s a bit more heavy-duty and are willing to pay for the associated cost, the company’s 590 line offers plenty of options, and one of the latest is the striking 590R Chisel. Watch our “Gun of the Week” episode above to see more details about this cutting-edge shotgun. “What’s the ‘R’ stand for, you ask? It has a rotary safety,” American Rifleman Executive Editor Jay Grazio said. “If you’re a fan of the AR-15-style rifle, you’ll…
