In 2022, Savage Arms entered the polymer-frame, concealed-carry pistol marketplace with the release of a striker-fired subcompact semi-automatic named the Stance. This single-stack 9 mm Luger shipped with a seven-round flush-fit magazine and an extended eight-rounder. It proved to be slim, reliable and its design worked to tame the often-snappy recoil of 9 mm handguns of such small size. Savage reworked this pistol platform in 2025 to incorporate desirable features not available in the first iteration. Dubbed the Stance XR, these new features include a larger-capacity double-stack magazine, an integral trigger safety and an innovative approach to providing customers with…

Author’s Note: I am not affiliated with Glock or the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation other than volunteering as a range officer at their matches and shooting their matches. JWR likes to say that owning a gun doesn’t make you a shooter any more than owning a surfboard makes you a surfer. You need to learn, train, and practice. Practical pistol disciplines such as International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) and International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) are outstanding ways to practice, but they can be intimidating to the novice. That’s where the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation, or GSSF fits in. Glock started…

The cover of the Finnish Civil Guard magazine Hakkapeliitta showcases shooter V. Miinalainen who won a gold medal at the 1935 World Shooting Championship in Rome with a koekivääri m/30 rifle. Shooting sports have always been a part of Finnish culture. In the early 1920s, the Finnish Shooting Sport Federation (Suomen Ampumaurheiluliito or SAL) sought ways for military shooters to represent Finland in international competitions, but the standard Finnish service rifle of the time, the Mosin-Nagant m/91, lacked the accuracy needed of a target rifle. The solution was for SAL to develop a series of test rifles called “koekivääri.” The…
