New Products from Bishop and Kimber!
Michael’s traveling around to find all the new products that will be revealed at the SHOT Show in January. But meanwhile, here are some sneak peaks.
Nothing’s More Fun than a New .22!
This week, we have a spectacularly accurate .22 Rifle from Magnum Research, one of their SwitchBolts with a stressed carbon fiber-wrapped barrel. Plus, Rossi’s 6-inch .357 sprouts a red dot sight!
How to Make It Through the Election!
This week, a snapshot of a country in distress…and what it means to you and your family. These are the most dangerous times we’ve ever lived in, and here are some strategies to get you and your family through!
Rock Island Armory, Now Made in the USA
This week Michael visits Rock Island Armory's fascinating factory in Cedar City, UT. RIA-USA manufactures the unique 5.0e series of 9mms, the best-selling VFR14 not-a-shotgun-firearm 12 gauge and, soon, the TAC ULTRA line of 1911s.
Rock Island Armory’s USA Beachhead!
Rock Island Armory, whose Philippines-based operation is one of the largest 1911 manufacturers in the world, is ramping up its USA operations with a spectacular factory in Cedar City, UT. This week, Michael take you through it. Also, the custom Magnum Research Switchbolt .22LR rifle arrives in time for the Rimfire Worlds!
Not Again!
The second assassination attempt on President Trump once again highlights the incredible dangers of “chumming for monsters.” As the Irish Republican Army told U.K. Premier Margaret Thatcher after one of their bombs failed to kill the legendary Prime Minister, she had to be lucky every single time; the IRA had to be lucky only once.
The Ruger Guide Gun to the Rescue!
It looks like Michael will be taking his Ruger Guide Gun, which was hugely successful on plains game in Namibia several years back, to the nilgai hunt in South Texas later this year. The .300 Win Mag is always a solid choice! Also, new products from Streamlight.
Why “Best” Is Never “Best”
“Best” is a purely subjective term, says Michael. When it comes to self-defense, it’s all compromises, and all those compromises need to be in your favor.
Refining the Already Excellent Stoeger 9mm!
This week we take a look in a little more depth on the Stoeger STR-9 Combat X, designed for police and military trials in Europe. Also, a “cute” and irresistible gun from Lipsey’s, a 6-shot Ruger SP-101 in blue!
Harden Up Your Strategies and Tactics!
Different harder times require a reevaluation of your own strategies and tactics. Michael recommends the great work of the late Dr. William Aprill for a start, but you’re going to have to do the heavy lifting yourself!
