This week Michael covers the “soft launch” of the NRA’s newest competition, AMERICA’S RIFLE CHALLENGE for America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15. The match, held last weekend at Camp Atterbury in Indiana, was a huge success! Also this week, in self-defense, is speed enough?

Oddly, the model for Michael’s long-running, award-winning television series SHOOTING GALLERY did not come from another gun series, but a cooking show. Here’s the secret recipe.

This week we go back to the basics and talk about home defense…make sure the basics are in place! Also, Stoeger introduces the new top-of-the-line STR 9mm striker-fired pistol, the Combat SX.

Michael spent some time last week on one of his long-term loves, big bore revolvers, the result of setting up his S&W 629 custom for upcoming ICORE revolver competition. He takes a look back at his favorite big bores.

This week we talk about the rising tide of leftist violence as Elon Derangement Syndrome continues to spread. On the hardware side, we once again marvel at the inventiveness and sheer genius of Dave Lauck’s parts from D&L Sports.

The ridiculous argument between using red dots or iron sights continues on Ye Olde Internet. Plus, revolver enthusiasts can once again haul out their big caliber revolvers.

The new line of Rock Island Armory’s newest generation STK 9mm striker-fired pistols are now available. With upgraded features, a good trigger, a 1911 grip angle, three available sizes and a perfectly textured aluminum frame, RIA offers a viable alternative to polymer framed pistols!

Michael starts thinking (seriously) about getting ready for the America’s Rifle Challenge from the NRA. Plus, first look at the achingly beautiful S&W .44 Magnum Mountain Gun, now in Michael’s grubby hands, and a couple of surprise S&W .38s.

Michael has some thoughts on the huge changes in government and its effects on citizen self-defense. Also, starting to work with the Rock Island STK 9mms.

This week, after the obligatory blistering blast at the Colorado Legislature, Michael discusses a subject he has focused on for many years — off-body carry. Having a gun in a holster on your person has many advantages, but sometimes it is just not possible.
