Holland & Holland, a firearms company from England, developed the .375 H&H Magnum in 1912 � a cartridge that would eventually come to be called the �Queen of the Medium Bores.� The .375 H&H Mag was specifically designed for hunting big game in Africa, and it was successful. The cartridge is sufficient to harvest any large game animal on the continent, including the Big Five species. Although it's been around for over 100 years, it still warrants respect, and is often chosen by both professional hunters and sportsmen. The .375 is the base of Holland & Holland's most popular cartridge, the .300 H&H Magnum. |

When the United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917, much of the weaponry desperately required was in short supply, most specifically some of the more advanced items. This included Browning�s groundbreaking Model 1911 pistol. So, to fill the gap, the government contracted with Colt and Smith & Wesson to supply roughly 300,00 large-frame double-action revolvers with a cylinder shortened for the 1911�s .45 ACP service cartridge. Both featured a 5.5″ barrel. |

The winter of 1777-1778 was a cold and bitter one for the battle-weary Continental Army at Valley Forge, as it contended with shortages of food, clothing and medical supplies and suffered from starvation, exposure and sickness. George Washington, the commander-in-chief, elected to winter over with his 12,000 troops, plus 400 women and children. During that time, he suffered deeply under the crushing weight of responsibility, not only for them, but also for the cause of the American Revolution. |

Beyond that, the American civilian market for this gun has generated new and increasingly innovative design improvements.

Late last week, Magazine Ban legislation, Senate Bill 5078, was passed out of the House Committee on Civil Rights and Judiciary on a party-line 11-6 vote. Anti-gun legislators are pulling out all the stops to get this measure passed as soon as possible; it now heads to the Rules Committee and it could receive a final vote on the House Floor as early as Wednesday, February 23. It is extremely important that you contact your State Representative and ask them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 5078. |

When it comes to Second Amendment issues, many loyal Ammoland readers are on the same page. They oppose gun bans, licensing and registration schemes, and other infringements on our rights. They seek constitutional carry and repeal of other anti-Second Amendment laws. When it comes to guns, the answers are easy. |

Senate Democrats are standing in the way of House Republicans who want to expand access to guns. Drivers who have a gun in plain sight are not in violation of Virginia's concealed carry permit laws. But if that gun falls to the floorboard and they don't have a concealed carry permit, they could receive a criminal misdemeanor. Delegate Tim Anderson is a Republican from Virginia Beach who says that's wrong, and he introduced a bill that would decriminalize a first offense for violating Virginia's concealed carry law. |
