Self-defense is a human right, and you don’t lose it if you are, or become, disabled. Ask any law-enforcement officer about the quality of criminals these days, and they’ll tell you: The vast majority of them aren’t exactly evil geniuses, a la Professor Moriarty, nor are they particularly brave. In general, two-legged predators are very…
Anyone who has spent enough time in the outdoors shooting, hunting, or fishing will recognize that moment when you watch an utter neophyte, someone brand-new to the sport, just stroll on in and hook the biggest fish, shoot the biggest buck, or take home grand prize in the whole shootin’ match. Growl as we will…

Whichever category you fall into, FalconStrike USA has just introduced an entirely new kind of solution to your hard-kickin’ shootin’ iron, a revolutionary hydraulic recoil pad.

You know, it’s really nice to see the next generation of gun-grabbers working to surpass Carolyn “Shoulder Thing That Goes Up” McCarthy and Dianne “Mr. and Mrs. America, Turn Them All In” Feinstein. Beto O’Rourke may currently be in the Democrats’ doghouse for prematurely revealing their gun-grabbing plans, but he’s definitely making life easier for…
September 20 wasn’t “Storm Area 51 Day” for SIG SAUER… While American social media was alight with foolishness about Area 51 on September 20, SIG SAUER was honoring POW-MIA Recognition Day. In addition to saluting one of the Vietnam War’s unsung heroes, Major Jose Anzaldua, USMC (Ret.), with a commemorative 1911 crafted by SIG Custom…
Is it getting a little expensive to feed your AR-15? Rock River Arms, famous for their accurate and reliable modern sporting rifles, recently introduced a new line of AR-15-style rifles chambered in .22LR, the LAR-22 series. It’s certainly a concept you’ve heard before–all the sleek lines and handling of a black gun minus the recoil…
James Bond may have made the Walther PPK a household name, but the credit for its enduring popularity is due entirely to the company. Part of the formula is innovation, and true to form, Walther just released a new member of their PPK family, a stainless version in .380 ACP. It’s shipping now and should…

“Hell yes, we’re coming to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” said 2020 Democratic presidential contender Beto O’ Rourke, as he detailed his plan for a “mandatory buyback” of firearms that he and other gun-grabbers find icky. That’s why Guns & Gadgets Daily is proud to introduce our latest giveaway, which we’ve created in Beto’s honor:…
Ugh, Bertram, can you believe The Poors think they have a right to self-defense? Yesterday, 145 CEOs of some of America’s largest corporations sent a joint letter to Congress demanding more of what the anti-gunners have always insisted they want: “commonsense gun laws [SIC].” Those of us who have been watching gun-rights news for longer…
