So, over at GunUp (full disclosure, I work for GunUp as their Director of Community Relations) we started a fun little poll on what people thought was the best handgun at SHOT 2011. You can vote on it here, but what I thought was really interesting was that over the weekend, the Sig facebook...

As noted elsewhere, Major Dick Winters of Easy Company passed away yesterday. Because this is TFL, I didn't want the day to pass without some sort of tribute, and I can't think of a better way than talking about the mini-series that made him famous, specifically the guns from Band of Brothers...

I was having a discussion with some other gun folks at an event back in November about how the face of the gun community is changing. The general gist of the conversation is that sales of guns designed for carry, competition, and home defense as well as AR pattern rifles has far outstripped the...

The 2010 Indiana State Match is in the bag, and congratulations to all the winners. Here's a link to the full match scores and results. It was a great match put on by the guys at Atlanta Conservation Club, with a real solid mix of speed shoots and complex stages full of reactive targets and...

One of the coolest things (in my opinion) at the 2010 SHOT SHOW are the new wheelies from S&W that they're adding to the PC line and the Pro Series lineup. The Pro Series guns especially catch my eye, as they have several new j-frames that are now cut for using moonclips to load and reload the...

Last night on Gun Nuts Radio, we had the pleasure of being joined by James Yeager of Tactical Response. While we did cover a "gear" element to a certain extent, as well as the difference between playing a game and training, one of the primary topics that we covered was tactics and mindset if...

If you're like me (married) or you've ever wanted to get a wife/girlfriend/niece/daughter/mom/#WOMAN into shooting, you've probably wondered what the best way to do that is, and if you're like me, have made a few mistakes in so doing. Last night on Gun Nuts Radio, we had the chance to talk to...

Last night, Gordon Hutchinson, author The Great New Orleans Gun Grab did an interview with myself and my co-host on Gun Nuts Radio. While the topic of the interview focused primarily on the abuses suffered by people disarmed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the message itself is timely as...

This year at SHOT 2009, Walther unveiled their newest semiautomatic carry pistol, the Walther PK380. Now, if you're like me, you always wanted Walther to make a P22 with a steel slide and chambered in a semi-decent caliber. Now, they're doing just that. The PK380 comes in the standard...

As explained by Todd Jarrett, starting at about 28 seconds in this video; he goes through the fundamentals of one of the methods for gripping your pistol. Used in conjunction with the combat isosceles stance, this is the grip used by the top professional shooters. Watch the video here. One of...

Question regarding magazine holders - I use a Para 16-40 (the doublestack .40), and I can't seem to find magazine holders that fit the mags. Glock magazine holders and generic (read: Fobus) "9mm/.40 Double stack" magazine holders are all too small to fit the Para .40 magazines. Any thoughts...

In the Bloomberg lawsuit, ATF is refusing to be deposed by lawyers for Adventure Outdoors. The real killer about this is that prior to their refusal to be deposed, ATF had agreed in principal to be deposed by lawyers for Adventure Outdoors in written questions. On top of that, in the past...

So, after some work I've converted my Uberti .31 Pocket Dragoon to .32 S&W (using the Kirst Konverter). It says "only use cowboy ammo", however the only ammo that exists in that caliber appears to be loaded to the exact same pressures that it was loaded to back in the 1800s. My general...
