During the First World War, the Winchester M1897, fitted with the M1917 bayonet, (colloquially called the �trench gun� by collectors) became perhaps the most iconic and immediately recognizable American small arm of the conflict. It is unusual, it is intimidating and from the very start was surrounded by misconceptions, myth and mystique. The popular narrative generally lays out a linear tale of an initial general fielding to the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), a panicked and plaintive German complaint in response to the brutal battlefield efficiency of the shotgun, and a cry to �send more shotguns!� from the Doughboys who were enamored with the tool. As with most history, there is much more to the story.

The .44 Smith & Wesson Special is well over a century old. Although insanely popular in the early 20th century, the Special almost went the way of the dinosaur after the introduction of its faster, harder-hitting, and more popular younger brother, the .44 Remington Magnum. The .44 Spl has been mostly kept alive by custom handloaders and cowboy action shooters.

Gun control advocates are intent on destroying the First Amendment rights of the firearms community. On November 3, the U.S. Supreme Court granted cert in National Rifle Association of America v. Vullo. In it, NRA alleges New York officials used their regulatory authority to target the organization to suppress its First Amendment-protected pro-Second Amendment advocacy. In April 2022, a trio of gun control groups filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission claiming that any suggestion by the firearms industry that firearms provide protection to their owners or make their homes safer is tantamount to false advertising and should be curbed. |

Williams Gun Sight is a bit of a legacy company that�s been producing various forms of high-visibility iron sights as long as I�ve been modifying guns. They�ve always been an iron sight company, until now. Any company looking to enter the red dot world can do it fairly easily by just licensing an overseas red dot like everyone else and calling it a day.

The Hawaii Supreme Court recently upheld a conviction that directly goes against the U.S. Supreme Court�s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022). The Hawaiian court instead cited the �spirit of Aloha� as their rationale for doing so.
�The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally-mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities,� reads the decision. |
