... "Today’s proceedings may prove explosive if a planned walkout by the Congressional Black Caucus is any indication of the level of resistance partisan administration apologists are prepared to resort to in protest against not just the scheduled vote, but the entire investigation. This will be tempered in actuality, if not perception, by the anticipated 'defections' of a significant number of Democrats from more 'conservative' states, although they will not be joined by former NRA Director Rep. John Dingell, who represents the Michigan district where slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry grew up." ... |

"Kahr isn’t a company known for cutting corners. The company constructs its guns with the intention for them to endure the range and life-threatening situations. While it seems rather difficult to build a reliable and durable subcompact semi-auto pistol, Kahr actually specializes in it. The tolerances on their guns are extremely tight and if there’s ever a complaint about them it’s about the break-in period. Granted this type of manufacturing comes at a slightly higher price, so it’s a breath of fresh air to hear that Kahr is expanding its economical line of handguns with the CM40." ... |

I remember comparing my Remington 870 Wingmaster—a well-used shotgun my father gave me when I was 14 years old—to the Browning A5. Even then I thought the A5’s 'humpback' design was distinctive, cool looking and, even at that impressionable age, I knew the gun was backed by a reputation of reliability. That impression came flooding back to me at an unveiling of the new Browning A5 at a writer’s seminar in South Dakota." ... |
