I’m thankful that we seldom witness the loss of an American Rifleman field editor, but, unfortunately for the entire shooting community, that occurred recently with the passing of combat handgun authority Wiley Clapp. And while I can personally attest to his kind nature, his skill with a pistol and his commitment to the ideal of the armed citizen, details of his life—which, by all accounts, was well-lived and an honor to our country—can be found in this month’s “In Memoriam.” Our coverage of new products this month includes an impressive example from Walther—a name synonymous with service-grade semi-automatic pistols for…

The .32-20 Winchester Center Fire gained a fair following after it was introduced in 1882 in the Winchester Model 1873 rifle as a cartridge of modest power and good accuracy for small-game hunting and target shooting. Through the years, it has been chambered in a host of rifles and handguns, smoothly making the changeover from blackpowder to smokeless propellants. Its original factory load was 20 grains of blackpowder that fired a 115-grain lead bullet at about 1,170 f.p.s.

After major interest rate turnarounds (bottoms), silver is usually the big winner. The reason is clearly explained here. What it comes down to is simply that interest rates reflect the value that the market places on money. When interest rates are high, the market places a high value on money. When interest rates are low, the market places a low value on money. Silver is the best form of money historically, so expect it to outperform during periods of high interest rates. Seeing that silver is the most undervalued due to the effects of the debt-based monetary system, it will…
