Whenever I see a news headline detailing the “arsenal” police found when making an arrest, I tend to cringe. As someone who works with guns for a living, I go through my fair share of ammo. I’ve got more random mismatched rounds in half-empty boxes — ammo I don’t even own guns for anymore — than most of these so-called-arsenals. Do you have enough ammo to feed your favorite firearm, like this XD-M Elite Tactical OSP? How much ammo is enough? This isn’t just one question — there are two parts to this. How much ammo should I carry? How…

There’s a saying in Formula One that a 15-cent screw can ruin a race just as fast as a blown motor. The little things matter, especially in a 13:1 compression engine spinning at 18,000 rpm. Guns don’t exactly run on gentle unicorn toots either; they’re an instrument of intense heat, pressure, and extreme acceleration in an area no bigger than a Pringles can. If your life depends on your firearm, or a major match is looming on the horizon, you’ll want to prep your gun just like any F1 pit crew would, and that means securing all those 15-cent screws…

If you live the EDC (Every Day Carry) lifestyle, you’re always looking for something better. When it comes to holsters, that “something better” usually boils down to three things: comfort, retention and versatility. At least, that’s what I’m always chasing. The Incog X holster by Haley Strategic and Safariland. Here, it’s paired with the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C and shown with the optional Mag Caddy. Recently, I became aware of the Incog X holster. The Incog X is a collaboration between Safariland and Travis Haley of Haley Strategic, who originally designed the holster more than 10 years ago. The Details…
The Brief: An Oklahoma City resident used a firearm to stop an intruder during an early morning break-in. After hearing someone prying open a bedroom window, the resident retrieved a handgun and held the suspect at gunpoint. Arriving police officers took the suspect into custody without further incident.

The most common sub-$200 firearms we find are from questionable manufacturers, in extremely poor condition, or come from a country that no longer exists. But we like to look under rocks at small gun shops and kick tires at pawn brokers during our travels — and occasionally among all the zinc-alloy Saturday Night Specials from the ’70s and assorted antiques that aren’t safe to shoot, we’ll uncover something decent from a name brand with a sterling reputation. Such was the case when this Ruger EC9s was unearthed in an Idaho pawnshop. This slim 9mm holds seven rounds in the magazine,…
Uncontrollable variables and physics argue strongly against excessively long-range hunting. But how far is too far?We don’t wish to create a political divide here. Nor can we, because the debate over long-range hunting has long existed. But technological advances over the past quarter century have accentuated it. Laser rangefinders. High magnification scopes. High-BC bullets. Pocket anemometers with barometric pressure gauges. Computerized scopes and binoculars. Turret dialing scopes. Even scopes that automatically illuminate the proper aiming dot for precise shot placement at any distance.We have the equipment. Question is, do we have the wisdom?You know the arguments…“I have a world-class, ¼-MOA…
