The result is the A400 Solo, a shotgun built around the proven action and designed to be rugged and ready for any field condition and be the only gun for the one-gun hunter. The new Beretta A400 Solo is designed as a no-nonsense hunting shotgun that is the entry to the company’s premium semi-auto shotgun family. Like other A400 models, the…

What most people believe about crime is wrong in a way that matters. They believe it is chaotic—that there is no rhyme or reason, that it is driven by impulse, desperation or some unknowable darkness that strikes at random. They hold this belief because it is comforting, because it removes responsibility: If crime is random, then preparation is pointless. If it is chaos, then there are no signals to read, no patterns to interrupt, no leverage points to exploit. But, that belief does not survive contact with reality.

It was, after all, a hard-won victory made only possible by the skills of patriot marksmen. If you’re still deliberating on whether to add commemorative ammunition or other gear to your collection, there’s even more to consider.

It was once said, “The purpose of a handgun is to fight your way to a rifle.” While most civilians will thankfully never find themselves in this situation, the saying is a nod to the power difference between the two, and closing this gap has been a driving force of handgun-cartridge development for many decades.

Taking things a step further, the .30-caliber 7.5 FK continues this legacy and…
