Today, Thompson Auto-Ordnance broke my accountant’s heart by announcing that they’re introducing (semi-automatic, natch) “Tommy Guns” dedicated to outlaw legends Bonnie and Clyde. You can get one of your own if you like; the company says that the guns are shipping now and should be available from your dealer by the time you get over your…
Is it possible for ammunition to degrade over time, and if so, is it dangerous? A Facebook follower recently asked us the above question, and interestingly, there’s not much straightforward information out there about that. (Part of the reason why is no doubt that no reputable ammunition manufacturer wants to promise that their product could…

Springfield Armory knows what you want for Christmas 2018: Their RO® Elite 1911 semi-automatic pistol, now in the powerful 10mm chambering. That’s why they’ve released it in plenty of time to make its way into the stockings of shooting competitors, self-defenders,…
Hey, not everybody can have a G.I. Joe Kung-Fu Grip… Woop woop, Ninjas! Your pal D. Range Ducats is back with your Thursday morning Just the Tips, and today I’m gonna talk about a problem that lots of us clowns have, and that is a weak-ass grip. Hey, some of us have like arthritis, or…
Fabrique Nationale just announced a new addition to their SCAR collection: the 20S precision rifle. Like all of the semi-automatic civilian-legal SCARS that FN fields, this new gun is based on FN’s military/LEO rifles with all of the bells and whistles that discerning armies and police forces demand (minus, of course, that third position on…
The economy is doing better, but that doesn’t mean you want to blow your whole paycheck for your personal security. Bersa has great news for folks who’d like a hardy, duty-grade handgun but don’t want to tap into their 401K (or win the lottery) to make it happen: They’ve recently introduced a 9mm version of…
