In one of those encounters, it seemed necessary to remind the listening audience there was one certified firearms instructor in the room and it wasnt the other person who was representing a Seattle-based gun prohibition lobbying group.

History of 410 Shotgun Shells

First developed and used in England in the 1870s, the .410 bore remained a specialty cartridge and was not widely adopted for a long time. Some shooters felt it was novelty-only, but others found it to be great for hunting and competition shooting.

The .410 emerged in the U.S. around 1915, when the Harrington & Richardson company became the first to produce this shot shell for single-shot long guns. In 1933, Winchester introduced a three-inch shell for the .410, spurring other manufacturers of firearms and ammunition to get on board with this cartridge, ultimately growing its popularity.

It seems like not that many years ago, the PX4 was the red-headed stepchild of the Beretta lineup. There wasnt much love. The PX4 had its share of problems. I recall early reports of guns not running too well for more than a couple hundred rounds at a time and having to be beaten with a mallet. They just didnt seem to do much for people. Or at least, not people who are really serious about shooting guns.

In the final moments of 2019, Colt proudly announced they would add the archetypal Python back into their stable of revolvers though you hardly needed a crystal ball to see such news coming after the reintroduction of the Cobra and King Cobra. As I expected, as soon as the new Python hit the market, the griping began. It wont be the same, I heard some say. Its not going to be hand-fitted the way the old revolvers were, others opined. I doubt the trigger is going to be anywhere near the smoothness of the old ones, many groused.

Two models in the Les Baer lineupa full-size fighting M1911 that wears the Gunsite raven and the Commander-size Black Baer designed for everyday carryprove that well-rendered versions of Old Slabsides still offer first-class options for todays armed citizen. I first began carrying an M1911 in my law enforcement duties in about 1972. One of the things that led me to that decision was the writings of Col. Jeff Cooper. Cooper developed a shooting discipline that he called the Modern Technique of the Pistol, and the whole concept was wrapped around the M1911 pistol in .45 ACP.

Today, Gov. Baker signed COVID-19 Order No. 33 easing restrictions that were put into place to address the COVID-19 crisis. The new guidance allows shooting ranges to open today, May 18th.

On May 7th, however, a federal judge ordered the Baker Administration to allow gun shops to re-open on Saturday, May 9th, but the judge did not address shooting ranges.

The problem with gun laws is that they are Malum Probibitum, which is defined at Cornell Law School as An act which is immoral because it is illegal; not necessarily illegal because it is immoral. Malum Prohibitum contrasts with Malum in Se, defined as An innately immoral act, regardless of whether it is forbidden by law.
