This week Michael looks at D&L Sports amazing S&W grips, the first 10/22 build off the new Luth-AR MCA chassis and a novel system for creating a take-down AR!

Sometimes your mind can play tricks on you, and some of those tricks can put you and your family at risk. Michael has some thoughts. Also, why are cities and states challenging the Supreme Court?

After years of waiting to get a Winchester 1895 lever gun in .405 Winchester, Teddy Roosevelt’s “Medicine Gun” for lions, he finds the new lever in need of a few tweaks. Lever expert Andy Larsson from Skinner Sights is just the person to make those tweaks, and today we unveil the “Nearly Perfect Safari Rifle, Lever Edition.” Also, Dave Lauck’s amazing revolver fixed sights!

There are no easy answers in self-defense — each violent encounter is unique, fluid, responding to factors that you as the defender can’t know and chocked full of hidden “surprises.” So what is a smart defender to do? Pay attention…it’s all on you!

As the ATF’s ill-begotten “brace rule” goes into effect and lawsuits stack up like delayed planes over the Atlanta airport, Michael takes a close look at what makes the short-barreled rifle “more concealable” or “more deadly” than a pistol or a rifle…and comes up with nothing!

This week we take a look at the proposed ATF regulations on pistol braces and the nonsensical claim that SBR (or SBS or AOW for that matter) are intrinsically or inherently more dangerous than their longer-barreled brethren…or, a pistol of the same caliber! Plus, Steven Hunter’s THE BULLET GARDEN…buy it quick!

Sure, there are tons of Gunfight Rules on the Internet, but Michael breaks them all down into four simple statements (with, of course, a little bit of help from his friends)!

The Avidity Arms PD10, the brainchild of veteran trainer and, for many people, professional gadfly Rob Pincus has arrived in the market…yes, guns are now shipping! Does it live up to the hype?

The Avidity Arms PD-10, long considered to be “vaporware,” has arrived, and Michael takes it to the range…and loves it. “Superb grip!” he says. And it shoots as good as it looks!

Not that they ever really went away, but fixed power prismatic optics have been less visible with the rise of low-powered variable scopes. But thanks to ultra light weight and new options, fixed power optics are back, and Michael gives you an inside look! Plus, the Rock Island 10mm Commander at work.
