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.

Question is, do we have the wisdom?You know the arguments…“I have a world-class, ¼-MOA…

When somebody gets mugged or worse, everybody wants to talk about the criminal. What’s wrong with him, where he came from, what society did to bend him. Almost nobody wants to look at the other half of it: the victim got selected, out of a whole street full of people, on purpose, and there was a reason it was them and not the guy walking ten feet ahead.I’ve told you before that…

The USS Saratoga (CV-3) was one of just three United States Navy aircraft carriers — along with USS Ranger (CV-4) and USS Enterprise (CV-6) — to survive the entirety of the Second World War. Although outdated by 1943, as the newer and more capable Essex-class entered service, CV-3 was one of the American flattops that fought for time in the early stages of the conflict, and continued to find a role until victory was finally achieved.
