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…

THE BRIEF The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit struck down a New York provision requiring express permission to carry firearms on public-facing private property. The court ruled this default ban violates the Second Amendment because it lacks historical precedent for restricting ordinary citizens in common commercial spaces. The ruling maintains firearm prohibitions in sensitive locations, including public parks and transit hubs. While business owners may still exclude firearms by posting signs, the default legal status now permits concealed carry in commercial establishments. This decision creates a split outcome for New York’s legislative response to constitutional standards. NEW…
I don’t think I need to sell any readers around here on the idea that a firearm can be more than just a tool. For many of us it’s a concrete symbol of independence, something that will keep us safe when all other measures have failed, and often, an heirloom we plan to pass down to our loved ones. Given that monumental level of importance, why wouldn’t we exercise some level of diligence to protect it? The Kinetic 2 Pistol Bag cuts an attractive profile. The quality of materials and workmanship is evident right off the bat. While there are…

In Spanish bullfighting, a matador is the primary bullfighter who fights and kills the bull. “Matar” means “to kill” in Spanish, and the matador is the leader and main performer in a bullfight. The last phase of the fight is called the “tercio de muerte,” or “third of death.” At this point, the matador’s weapon of choice is a sword, or “espada” in Spanish, to deliver a precise killing blow. Matador Arms is known for its 9mm pistol and rifle systems, built around their bufferless MAT-9 upper that works with any Mil-spec AR-9 lower receiver and is self-contained, not needing…
