Reviewing the Lionheart LH9 and LH9C
What sets these pistols apart from a rather crowded field of 9mm pistols is a trigger action called DA+, for Double Action Plus.
Reviewing the Ruger American Rimfire
I'm going to cut right to the chase and tell you I like this rifle and I'm buying it from Ruger. It's a really good .22 rifle for beginning shooters or those of us who are delighted to rediscover the joy we experienced when we started shooting.
Children and Guns In The Home
Anyone living in or visiting a home containing unsecured firearms needs to be thoroughly trained in firearms safety and safe gun handling. If people cannot be trained, as in the case of small children, the guns must be secured.
Reviewing the Ruger SR1911
Good things come to those who wait and I recently received a SR1911 pistol for evaluation. It is packed with features most shooters want and represents excellent value at a suggested retail price of $829.
Review: American Gun, A History Of The U.S. in Ten...
American Gun is an easy and enjoyable read. It’s written conversationally and feels as though Kyle is sitting down with you, having a beer and telling stories.

You can't create a fortress, but what can you do to make it tougher for someone trying to get in? The best defense is one that is thought out and planned in advance, has layers of protection and provides early warning.
Reviewing the Ruger LC380
Introduced this January at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas, the LC380 is simply Ruger’s LC9 9mm pistol re-chambered in .380 ACP. Except for their markings and a magazine modified for the shorter .380 cartridges, the two pistols look identical.
Product Roundup in time for Father’s Day
Must have products or great Father's Day gifts from Brownell, Dewey and Ruger, all tested and recommended by Ed Head.
Concealed Carry Options
Finding the right combination is a never-ending process and there is no one best holster or gun for concealed carry.
Seeing The Light
The advent of LEDs and micro computer chips has produced the most profound improvements in tactical lights. Streamlight's current product line of combat lights and weapon lights are top quality and include a light for every need. Some of the products Ed Head has been using include the Pro-Tac HL and several TLR weapon lights.
