He grew up on an Oregon ranch, trapping gophers and working as a pack horse hunting guide in high school. He also wrestled so well that he moved to Norway for a year to train professionally.  His career choices varied after that. He earned a college scholarship for riding rodeo broncos, and paid the rest of his tuition by working as…

Circumnavigating the suppressor world is a tough road to travel. Which is why CANCON has become such an invaluable asset to this niche in the firearms world. The world’s largest fully suppressed range day evolved into an important gateway to the fastest-growing firearms accessory on the market. And in its second year at the Clinton Plantation House in Clinton, South Carolina, it was an absolute quiet riot of hushed-up shooting. More shooters than ever before learned about, perused, and — most importantly — shot some of the best suppressors available today. But going hands-on with the latest and greatest quiet…

Luth-AR recently launched a brand-new aftermarket bull-barrel option for rimfire shooters who build rifles around Ruger 10/22-pattern actions.  Luth-AR’s new Ruger 10/22 pattern bull barrel is turned from a 416 R stainless steel blank and measures 18 inches long. Its muzzle is cut for ½x28 tpi threads while its barrel twist consists of the standard rimfire 1:16-inch, ideal for 40-grain .22 LR cartridges.  Bull barrels are optimized for target-shooting applications for several reasons. First, the additional weight and heft act as ballast towards a rifle which makes them easier to hold steady. Second, the extra weight means that they’re less…

I am a fan of the Ruger Redhawk line of revolvers and have several chambered in .357 Mag., .44 Mag. and .45 Colt/.45 ACP. I also have a Super Redhawk chambered in .454 Casull. As a recent retiree, I now have time to spend time on the range shooting these revolvers. Due to the volume I am shooting, I usually shoot lighter-recoiling ammo in each of the revolvers to preserve my hands as much as anything. While at the range this past weekend, one of the more knowledgeable members of my club came over to visit and see what I…

GAO Report on Weapon Systems Testing In a recent report entitled, “Weapon Systems Testing: DOD Needs to Update Policies to Better Support Modernization Efforts” the Government Accounting Office suggests that the US military adopt iterative testing processes to further modernize its newly adopted acquisition methodology. Common in software development, iterative testing is a repeated cycle of developing, testing, and refining a product in small, incremental steps, using user feedback and data from each cycle to make gradual improvements, rather than aiming for a perfect release all at once. Already adopted to rapidly fill emerging warfighting gaps like Counter-UAS and Electromagnetic…
