In 2005, Colt committed the unspeakable by discontinuing its iconic Python. For many, the decision portended the end of an era — indeed, the company’s next chapter would be dictated by CPAs and MBAs, the chasing of government contracts, and almost total indifference to the civilian market. For 15 years, shooters lamented the Python’s loss.

If you enjoy big game hunting or shooting at the range, you may fire cartridges with nickel cases or pick up a few off the ground. This often leads shooters to a few questions that need to be answered:

Why is some ammo nickel-plated?

What is the difference between a nickel-plated brass and a brass casing?

If you love long-range rounds, then the 300 Win Mag vs 300 Norma is the perfect place for you.

Despite being designed and released decades apart, these calibers are similar in many ways but distinct in others, which makes comparing them an exciting task.

New security equipment to crack down on firearms entering Michigan Capitol grounds will be installed in early August, with the system fully expected to be online shortly after the Labor Day holiday.

The move comes following a unanimous decision by the Michigan State Capitol Commission in February to ban guns entering Capitol grounds except in specific instances.

Commission Executive Director Rob Blackshaw told commissioners July 31 once the system is purchased on Aug. 8, training for the likes of the Michigan State Police and Capitol staff – along with House and Senate sergeants-at-arms – is scheduled for Aug. 10.
 

I Have This Old Gun: Colt “American Railway Express” Police Positive

By the late 19th century, Colt had entered the growing trend toward double-action revolvers with two guns that nonetheless mimicked the general configuration and sidegate-loading system of the company’s Single Action Army—the Model 1877 Lightning and the larger-framed Model 1878. But the company more fully embraced the modern double-action-revolver concept with its swing-out cylinder designs of the 1889 New Model Navy and the 1892 New Army and Navy (which featured mechanical and nomenclature upgrades through 1903).

It’s a Feature, not a Bug – Permit Numbers Decline Despite Bruen

The United States Supreme Court ruling striking down New York State’s concealed carry permit rules as unconstitutional was big news in June of 2022, but indications are that officials in the Big Apple are still trying to decide how to best pretend it never happened. In that decision, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the Supreme Court invalidated the State’s demanding “proper cause” requirement for carry licenses and its discretionary “may issue” licensing standard. Between the fees, paperwork and other requirements, getting a license was already a notoriously difficult and time-consuming process, with an uncertain result.

On July 26, the New Zealand Herald reported that the country’s new Firearms Safety Authority had compromised the personal information of more than 100 gun owners. The paper explained,

In an email sent shortly after noon on Wednesday, seen by the Herald, Auckland Central Police District firearms staff emailed more than 100 gun owners to warn them their listed firearms licence address may not be up to date.

Zastava M57 Pistol Review + Body Armor Test: Will 7.62x25mm Tokarev Penetrate?

Developed around an earlier Russian design, the Yugoslavian-made M57 pistol chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev was a unique product of the Cold War. That’s what first drew me to the gun, that cool history factor. But the more I dug into it, the more I discovered there is a heated passion for and debate around the 7.62x25mm cartridge, too. That made the gun even more fascinating to me. Some folks brag about its flat-flying characteristics and elevate it to the realm of “armor piercing” while others scoff at the idea.

How Close is Too Close? Managing Distance During Violence

Even for the individual who is a complete novice to any sort of self-defense or tactical training, the understanding that proximity relates directly to danger is rather innate. The closer the threatening entity, the more dangerous it is to you. A bear at the top of a hill should certainly have your undivided attention, but we would all agree that it is better to spot it at the top of the hill than to have it stand up from the brush right in front of us. To harm us, most creatures with claws and teeth need to be at contact distance, and many can close that distance very quickly. There is a similar dynamic when facing a human threat as well.

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, on November 25, 2022, Larry Morse and Theodore Ray Buck, Jr. filed a lawsuit against the state of Illinois, claiming the state ban on the sale and possession of silencers violates the Second Amendment. A similar lawsuit was filed by Carlin Anderson and David Clark on February 27, 2023, backed by the American Suppressor Association. The two lawsuits, Morse v Raoul and Anderson v Raoul, have been consolidated as of June 15, 2023. The parties involved have agreed the principle area of contention is whether silencers are arms protected by the Second Amendment.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962
