So, I’m writing this short article on my experiences with the Huxwrx 556k suppressor. I hope to help fellow readers make an informed purchase when or before January 1st comes around. As a disclaimer, I have no affiliation with Huxwrx. This suppressor was purchased with my own money over a year ago, and I have since put around 2,000 rounds of 5.56…

On November 6th 1528, shipwrecked Spanish conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca became the first known European to set foot in Texas. — On this day in 1977, the Toccoa Falls Dam in Georgia gave way and 39 people died in the resulting flood. — November 6, is the anniversary of the day that B-24 Liberator co-pilot Al Millspaugh was shot down over Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, in 1944.

Ruger’s purchase of the Marlin brand has led to the reintroduction of the classic lever-action rifles produced by that company. Based on that success, that rebirth now includes another aspect of Marlin’s history, rifles that combine quality and affordability under the Glenfield brand name, with the new-for-2025 Glenfield Model A.   The Glenfield Model A builds on the design of the Gen 1 Ruger American, while offering the no-frills value associated with Marlin’s original line of Glenfield firearms.   For decades, Marlin used the “Glenfield” name to market no-frills versions of its iconic firearms, from the Model 60 to the…

The company went back to the drawing board with its Bodyguard 2.0 in 2024 and came up with a compact, shootable design that’s perfect for concealed carry. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” Rifleman Review segment above to see the details of this small, lightweight .380. “So when Smith & Wesson announced that they were coming out with their Bodyguard 2.0, I think a lot…

Look, we all have our favorites. I don’t know yours might be chuckers because you live out west and your dog has a beard and that’s the most challenging bird you’re gonna run across. Or I don’t know, you might be from down south somewhere, and while you’d give…
