Lemme catch my breath a little here... so Taurus is rolling out a .380 revolver, the Taurus Mini Revolver...

The new little Glock 42 has been outed on the Boomershooter Forum. It appears to be a single stack .380, a bit smaller than the G26 9mm in most dimensions.

What they'll be rolling out at SHOT is, to me, a pretty cool new product. TS has always thought outside the box...

I do think SHOT is going to be another evolutionary, as opposed to revolutionary, year in new products... especially in the AR arena.

I want to make some quick points on the Zimmerman not guilty verdict, which I'll be elaborating on this week's DOWN RANGE Radio.

I have been thinking a lot about the London terror attack and what it can teach us. In truth, when a person gets knocked down by a car, the first thing that goes through that person's mind isn't likely to be that the car's drivers is going to jump out and attack with meat cleavers.

This reproduction is part of Winchester's long-term plan to offer some of their classic models back into the market. The 73 is made by Miroku in Japan, which has a reputation for building world-class firearms.

This beauty is a Ruger Bearcat "Shopkeeper" model — 3 inch barrel, round but, .22 LR. Apparently my friend Jason Cloessner, who's in charger of Lipsey's specials, had an epiphany while holding one of their dealer's custom 3-inch Bearcat, the smallest single action in the Ruger line-up.

On the DOWN RANGE Radio podcasts before the current shoe fell, I have been begging people to stock up when the prices dropped...because in an age of constraints, there is always going to be another crisis!
