The Shootist




The Lapua Midas (upper left) priced out at $18 per box of 50. When shooters begin pursuing the perfect group, even ammo prices become unimportant. Ruger 10-22: from caterpillar to butterfly

I remember the first Ruger 10-22 carbine I came across.

This is Remington's entry into the AR hunting market. The rifle features a button-rifled barrel, crowned hunting muzzle and single-stage hunting trigger, and comes in .223 Remington and .204 Ruger. Shown is the carbine model with collapsible stock. Remington 700 VTR has grown on me

The AR-style rifle has come into its own.

It’s called “going viral,” and it refers to what happens to information that is of interest to a large number of people when it is published on the internet.

The new Ruger Lightweight Carry Revolver is a combination of aluminum, stainless steel and molded polymer — nothing new in handguns, except this is the first time anyone has used polymer to make a revolver frame. Light Ruger .38 is smooth, dependable

Nothing makes a better personal self-defense handgun than a snub-nosed revolver. For concealability and dependability, you simply cannot beat one of the little wheelguns. If you are going to carry a semi-auto, particularly one of the popular subcompacts, you’d better practice with it, or you will experience cycling problems that will get you killed.

The PARA USA Companion with the light double action trigger brings safe hammer-down carry to the 1911 pistol. Lots to like about PARA Companion

PARA USA is a tough company to love.

Concealed on campus will reduce killings
June 29, 2009 at 9:05 am
The Louisiana House of Representatives recently killed a bill to allow concealed handgun carry on campuses. The following is one man’s opinion:

Remington's new VTR has a patented triangular barrel and an injection-molded composite stock featuring “breather” holes to speed heat dissipation. The new triangular design of the barrel enhances stiffness while reducing weigh over a round barrel. Remington 700 VTR the tacti-coolest yet

Many riflemen will tell you if there is one company that knows how to get it right, it is Remington. The frequent comment heard is “Remington shoots straight, straight out of the box.”

If the Department of Defense had not backed down, the price of ammunition would have skyrocketed. DOD changes course on military brass sale

Unless you’ve been shooting from your own personal ammo dump over the last year, you’re aware of the acute shortage of sporting ammunition available to shooters across the U.S.

From 15 yards, the match barrel lived up to its reputation. A ragged hole less than 2 inches in diameter was fired by the author. Twelve rounds went into the same hole, and if the author's eyes were younger, the group would have undoubtedly been much tigh Springfield XDm melds into shooter’s hand

Springfield Armory, famous for high-end 1911-style pistols, introduced a new model polymer pistol in 2001 that so completely overshadowed its production of those models, the company image was taken over by the new pistol.

Citizens are flocking to buy guns and qualify for concealed-carry permits. Election drives gun sales, carry applications
February 25, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Since the recent presidential election, sales of AR-15-style rifles have gone off the charts, and some manufacturers now report backlog orders for their rifles to number in the thousands. The term “assault rifle” will not be used here since that is a misnomer.

The Alpen Apex in 3.5-10x50 is only 12.5 inches in length, which allows it to fit well on new compact rifles designed to digest the short magnum cartridges that are all the rage. Inexpensive scopes offer high quality
February 03, 2009 at 10:08 am
If you shoot and hunt with one of the new compact magnum cartridges, smaller, lower-powered scopes cosmetically match your rifle better.

An early Model 61 S&W .22 pocket pistol is shown here on top of a new Federal Form 4473. A transfer of a firearm from a licensed dealer to any recipient requires this form. The form is filled out, and the information on the recipient is called in on an FB Registration not a fact of gun purchase

In the last 30 days, I have fielded six questions from people who have either bought a gun from an individual, inherited a gun or were given a gun by someone.
