About 15 years ago I purchased a Makarov, and I have fired it extensively since the Russian ammunition is easy to find. It is a very pleasant gun to shoot, and the relatively low recoil lets you make a fairly rapid double-tap. It is easily concealable, and I carry it often. The only negative I have experienced is that the sights are a little hard to see in reduced lighting. I believe this is an older-version Makarov since the factory-stamped serial number is very low (RM000246) It has a partially double-stack magazine which gives it a capacity of 10 rounds. It is the only Makarov I have seen with this magazine type; is it rare?

“They've been used as a tool to intimidate the sovereign State of Kansas,” said Jay Atkin, who came from Kansas City for a federal court hearing in a case that pits state law against federal law. Two Kansans face up to a decade in prison for making and selling silencers without registering them with the federal government or paying the special taxes. They say it's allowed under state law. But a federal jury says it's illegal. |

Gun control and the possibility of legal restrictions on buying and selling firearms was in sharp focus in this year's Presidential election. One local gun shop owner explained his reaction to Donald Trump's win. Politics aside, Van's sporting goods in Brandon draws hundreds of pro gun and hunters year round, and those concerned about self defense. |

For years, anti-gunners have pandered one gun control scheme after another, justifying their efforts by telling anyone who will listen, “If it saves just one life…”
Monday in Lee County, Florida a legally-armed citizen fatally shot a man who was reportedly in the process of severely beating a sheriff’s deputy at an off-ramp along Interstate 75. WZVN News quoted one witness, identified as Shanta Holditch, who stated that the attacker pulled the deputy out of his patrol car, “throwing him to the ground and punching him in all different directions.” |

Before he went into the gun business, before he started buying assault-rifle manufacturers, before he expanded into scopes and silencers, before he rolled up 18 of America’s most lethal companies into a single conglomerate, before he funded a private military base, before the massacre, before the investor revolt, before the recalls and the product defects and the bad press and the lawsuits — before any of that could happen — Stephen Feinberg, the billionaire financier, had to perfect his shooting technique.

It's the kind of argument that emerges usually in the aftermath of a school shooting. State Representative Jesse Kremer plans to introduce a bill allowing guns in classrooms next year. He said it would allow licensed concealed carry holding private school teachers to have their gun in the classroom. The bill would give private schools the authority to make their own policy on guns in the classroom.

Smith & Wesson’s new version of the incredibly popular M&P Shield pistol offers three improvements on the existing model. The obvious feature is the barrel porting, which is intended to reduce recoil, particularly muzzle jump. Additionally, the model is built in the Performance Center and features fiber-optic sights and a lighter, crisper trigger pull with short reset.

What happens when someone who’s not supposed to have a gun lies about their background and tries to buy one? In Washington state, the answer is not much. FBI records show that between January and August of this year, 3,259 would-be gun buyers in Washington failed a federal background check. But police and prosecutors rarely, if ever, pursue these people. |

Recently when I was bouncing article ideas off of my good friend Kirk Stovall he said, “Why not do one on the Storm?” Showing off my great firearms knowledge I replied, “Yeah that storm the other night was brutal. It left gullies in my driveway but it’s really not suitable for a gun magazine article.”

Authorities are releasing few details regarding a police officer's negligent discharge of a firearm inside a Bay County high school and parents are not happy.
The incident in question happened 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, inside Bay City Western High and Middle School, 500 W. Midland Road in Auburn. A Bay County Sheriff's deputy who acts as the school resource officer, fired a gun inside a room. The deputy was in the room by himself. The bullet passed through at least one wall and struck a female teacher in the neck area, Michigan State Police Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser said.
The projectile did not break the teacher's skin and she was uninjured.

Why Are Detroit Cops Killing So Many Dogs?

A group of Detroit police officers executing a narcotics search warrant knocked on Nikita Smith's door on January 14, 2016. The only fact that both Smith and the officers agree on after that point is that, a short while later, Smith's three dogs were all shot dead.
What really happened in the moments between could be a costly question for the city of Detroit. In a federal civil rights lawsuit filed in May, Smith says the Detroit police executed her three pit bulls, Debo, Mama, and Smoke, without provocation. Essentially, they acted as a "dog death squad." |
