We certainly don’t choose the cream of the crop when looking for candidates for this column, but every now and then you find something interesting for the right price and people will inquire about carrying it as a woods or backup gun. So, on a visit to the local Cabela’s gun library, a trade came in that wasn’t exactly on our wish list: a single-action M1895 Nagant revolver made in 1902 in Imperial Russia. With a finish in about 80 percent condition and with no pitting, it looked quite a few steps up from the later Commie revolvers made after…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The landscape of federal firearm restrictions has been profoundly reshaped by the nation’s highest court. Delivering the opinion for a unanimous bench, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch struck down a critical provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968, marking a monumental victory for cannabis consumers and the broader Second Amendment community. The ruling represents a stinging defeat for the federal government’s attempt to maintain categorical restrictions on a demographic that now encompasses tens of millions of Americans living in states where cannabis has been fully integrated into local commerce. “Whatever one thinks of these developments, the…

Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on.…

The Brief: A licensed firearm carrier fatally shot a man in self-defense at a Philadelphia convenience store. Surveillance footage showed the deceased individual pointing a handgun at the carrier first.

In today’s article, Peter Suciu reviews the Ace VR shooting simulator from AceXR. This system puts a virtual shooting range in your home with the ability to train with real-world firearms like the Springfield Armory 1911 TRP. “It’s not around the block,” was an often-used saying of this reporter’s late grandfather. That was really an excuse for places he didn’t want to go, but it was also a barrier for things he legitimately enjoyed. That included the shooting range. None were close, and as a result, he didn’t get out to the range all that often. That was part of…
John Moses Browning is perhaps the most important firearms designer of all time. His influence persists to the present day in not only the production of arms he designed, but those inspired, at least in part, by his work. The Model 97 Winchester was another of his accomplishments. It was the first truly reliable smokeless pump shotgun, and it served the United States not only in times of war, but times of peace, and earned a hell of a reputation along the way. The most notable and striking feature of the Model 97 is its exposed hammer. The hammer could…

Here’s a look at just some of the fun that was had at CANCON Carolinas 2026. If you missed it, we hope to see you there next year! If you want to buy a car, you can test-drive it at a dealership. If you need new clothes, you can try them on at a store. But if you want a suppressor, you usually can’t go hands-on with the model you’re considering until after you’ve already bought it. CANCON, the world’s largest fully suppressed range day, changes that. With two CANCONs per year, one in the West and one in the…
