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…

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. Law enforcement confirmed the resident acted within legal self-defense parameters and will not face charges. Safety experts recommend reinforcing ground-floor windows with security film and secondary locks to deter intruders. Staging firearms in quick-access safes provides immediate availability during emergencies while maintaining home safety. OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — A terrifying forced entry…

By Candice Horner & Dave Merrill Two Staff Members Get Into a Death Match This is an argument that has been in the gun community, nowhere near as long as .45ACP versus 9mm or AR versus AK, but it’s been just as passionate. Plastic against wood? Nay nay, short-barreled rifles versus bullpups. Even among our editorial staff, there’s no consensus. So in this piece, we’ll be pitting the SBR-always advocate, Dave Merrill, against the bullpups-aren’t-bullsh*t advocate, Candice Horner. Put into simple terms, a bullpup is a rifle that places the main working action (and thus, the magazine) well behind the…

But as I think about the weekend, many standouts weren’t about gear, but about people and experiences. Here is one such moment: It’s Friday mid-morning, the first full day of CANCON, and I found myself at the Barrett 1-Mile Challenge. It’s in a separate area from the rest of the show because it has special…
Let’s take a quick trip back in time, around 15 years or so, Travis Haley and Chris Costa had just released a very popular DVD (remember those?) called “The Art of the Tactical Carbine,” and pretty much everyone in the firearms training industry picked up a copy and watched it from beginning to end. The techniques demonstrated by Haley and Costa on that DVD, as well as similar techniques that were coming out of a decade of U.S. involvement in the Global War On Terror, were all the rage in the gun world. The combination of these two forces shaped…
