Michigan House Republicans want to loosen concealed carry rules and expand where CPL holders can legally carry. The proposal has sparked debate over self defense, training standards and public safety.

Right now, Michigan requires most residents to be at…

NEW from Springfield Armory comes a full lineup of Aimpoint COA-equipped pistols, starting with the Echelon! First released a little over a year ago, the Aimpoint COA has been impossible to get for many months since Glock held a 1-year exclusive on the optic and then cut sales to civilians to focus on “MIL/LE” orders (Just another reminder that Glock believes American civilans are actually second-class). Lucky for us, that exclusive deal has ended and that has opened the door for Springfield Armory to give the people what they want — great pistols paired with great optics. Springfield offers a…
Credit: iStock user Juleta Martirosyan.We look at the Bruen Decision and why America’s historical gun culture still matters in modern court cases.For decades, courts treated the Second Amendment differently from every other constitutional right.

Take handgun-mounted optics. Not that long ago, having a red dot atop your pistol put you in some very rarefied air. However, pistols like the Hellcat and Hellcat Pro helped normalize the use of optics on defensive pistols to the point where it is downright common these days. A purpose-built pairing of two of some of the most trusted names in the firearms world. The Springfield Echelon with the Aimpoint COA represents…

The Leupold Mark 4 has easily been one of the most prolific military and law enforcement scopes available. While the flagship Mark 5HD scopes superseded that family, for years, professionals and serious shooters like myself asked when it would come back. The author tests the Leupold Mark 4HD 4.5-18x scope on the shooting range. Mounted to a Springfield Model 2020 Heatseeker and locked into a tripod, he has a solid base from which to evaluate the glass. Thankfully, it did as the new Leupold Mark 4HD line of scopes.
