Sticking with the analogy for a moment, imagine Captain Parker and only a handful of men turning to see 'supporters,' vitally needed if any kind of stand were to be made, but unwilling to do more than look out their windows at them and give them a 'thumbs up.' Imagine yet more unwilling to do even that, and instead drawing shut the curtains." ... |

"The purpose of this article is not to knock on compact , subcompact, or pocket pistols. In fact, I have quite a few compact and subcompacts that I really like. I have had a lot of inquiries as to why I go to all the trouble of carrying my full-sized Springfield XD and XD(M)s as opposed to something like the Ruger LC9. The reason I am writing this is simply to explain my thought process behind why I carry full-sized handgun." ... |

"The gun prohibitionists are desperate to promote the meme that the growth in NICS checks do not accurately reflect the growth in firearm sales. Unfortunately, they just cannot ignore financial statement releases from public companies such as Sturm, Ruger & Co. Financial statement releases from public companies are not only released to the public but filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. They must be accurate unlike any statement made by the likes of CSGV and other gun prohibitionists." ... |

... "A recent op-ed piece in The New York Times ('I Hunt, but the NRA Isn't for Me,' by Lily Raff McCaulou) virtually damns NRA for supporting candidates based on their voting records on gun issues--in her view at the expense of hunting. She even states, 'The NRA has never had much to do with hunting' and says NRA does not represent most hunters or gun owners." ...
"First, since Americans join NRA to ensure their gun rights are protected, maybe it is actually logical for the NRA to examine how candidates vote on gun rights issues. Defending the Second Amendment is what we are here for, so we--and the candidates we support--are part of the reason McCaulou is able to own a gun herself." ... |

And looky looky what he’s found there – a couple of aluminum-framed prototype rifles. The intimidating one in basic black with the fluted barrel is a Blaser TAC2 chambered in .338 Lapua. Wearing the more comforting earth tone is the SSG3000 in .308. Unfortunately, neither is for sale yet. The only question is, will RF be tempted enough to bust out the Amex Black Card and make an offer anyway before he departs for home? Stay tuned to find out. More pics after the jump . . ." ... |

"The Mauser HSc-80 is a pre-WWII German design and was originally designed to compete with the Walther PP guns. In look it is similar to the Walther and it’s also about the same weight and overall size as the Walther PPK model."
"It is double action, blowback-operated and became a fairly common sidearm during the war and after because Mauser continued to produce them after WWII and even up until the late 1970s. Subsequently the HSc-80 was produced under license by Renato Gamba SpA in Italy, in .32 ACP, .380 ACP and 9mm Ultra. The one the Ballistics By The Inch crew had for testing was chambered in the 9mm Ultra cartridge. " ... |

"At a glance similar to Kel-Tec's KSG, functionally the UTS-15 is a very unconventional shotgun.

"The new rifle, with which our troops are to be equipped, is officially known as the 'U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1,' and popularly as the 'Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle.' It is of the gas-operated type and employs an en-bloc type of clip holding eight rounds. It varies somewhat from the conventional type of gas-operated weapon in that there is no hole drilled in the barrel is provided with a sleeve and just as the base clears the muzzle, a small amount of gas is diverted through a port at the muzzle into a cylinder where it impinges upon the piston of the operating rod, driving it to the rear. ..." ... |
