The Brief: A driver died after crashing an SUV into a San Tan Valley home, where a resident fatally shot him. The impact caused severe structural damage and injured two occupants. Believing the breach was a violent threat, the male resident used a firearm in self-defense during the chaotic aftermath. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident under Arizona’s Castle Doctrine, which justifies deadly force to prevent forcible felonies within a dwelling. While the homeowner was released without immediate charges, the case will undergo a standard legal review by the Pinal County Attorney’s Office. SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ…
The Brief: A Memphis tenant shot a masked intruder discovered burglarizing his apartment. After an initial confrontation, the tenant fired additional rounds as the suspect fled the scene. Police later located the critically injured suspect nearly half a mile away following a blood trail. The stolen property was recovered nearby. The incident highlights legal complexities surrounding Tennessee’s Castle Doctrine and the use of force against retreating targets. While the law permits defense against imminent threats, firing at a fleeing individual introduces significant liability. The shooting remains under review to determine if the tenant’s actions were legally justified. MEMPHIS, TN —…
I love 1911 handguns. There is something about the short and light trigger that helps me shoot 1911 pistols more precisely than any other pistol platform. Quite simply, the 1911 pistol hits “home” with me. The craftsmanship engineered into a 1911 supersedes other semi-auto pistols by far for me. I enjoy the solid construction and the comfortable shooting with the 1911. This lineup of Springfield Armory 1911 and Prodigy pistols shows how far optic-ready slides have come on the classic platform. From left to right we have a 3.5″ Compact Prodigy AOS, a 4.25″ TRP Carry Contour AOS, a 5″…

Written By Sean Murphy and David Lane BEST PRECISION RIFLE SUPPORT BAG Rear bags for long-range shooting have become a must-have to help deliver hits down range. A rear bag is a low-tech and relatively low-cost solution that offers many benefits to precision rifle shooters — mainly the ability to stabilize the rear of the rifle, leading to greater accuracy and precision.

The Wilson Combat Lo-Profile base pads simply replace the existing plastics ones on your Wilson or McCormick magazines.Make your compact 1911 reloads a breeze with Wilson Combat’s Lo-Profile basepads.OK, I’ll admit this is a bit niche, but man … it’s cool.So, there you are carrying an Officer’s Model or other short-framed compact 1911. Using a full-sized magazine as a reload would be nice, but you can’t. If you slam that mag home with the slide locked back (and when else will you need a really fast reload?), the mag will ride up over the mag button and wedge against the…
Many worship at the altar of Stoner, exalting the AR-15 platform’s ergonomics, versatility, and modularity. From the Army M16 to the USAF GAU-5A, the AR-15 platform can do almost anything. But with a receiver extension and buttstock that can’t be folded, since the bolt carrier group reciprocates into it, compactness for transport wasn’t Eugene’s first priority. The aftermarket has come up with solutions for this — but what if you’re looking for an even smaller footprint than a folding stock will provide? If you don’t mind disassembling your weapon, Stoner’s original design gets you halfway there, as you can easily detach…
The new Springfield Armory 4″ SA-35 is here and multi-time world and national shooting champion Julie Golob delivers a full review of the gun. The compact handgun combines old-world elegance with modern amenities, all with a 15-round magazine. The company provided the gun to the author for review. There’s just something about it.

Beautifully restored, paint gleaming in the sunshine in a color with a luster…

A Syracuse jury is currently deliberating the fate of 28-year-old Josue Pizarro, who is charged with second-degree murder for the 2024 daylight shooting of Jesus Carmona. While Pizarro claims he fired the initial shots in self-defense after being confronted by an armed Carmona, prosecutors argue the subsequent eight shots fired while the victim was on the ground constituted “overkill”. SYRACUSE, NY — The thin line between self-defense and second-degree murder is now in the hands of a Syracuse jury.
