Canik handguns have been imported by Century Arms for the last few years. These pistols have somewhat of a cult following and after handling the TP9SFx both at the 2017 SHOT Show and on my range I understand why. It seems the various Turkish firearms manufactures have tapped into something that many of the big name players need to follow; give the customer a good value for their hard earned dollars.

The gunman�s bullet that struck Representative Steve Scalise at a congressional baseball practice last month entered at his left hip, smashing bone and tearing into internal organs as it ripped through his body. At the hospital, doctors stopped the internal bleeding. At the White House, President Trump called for unity. And at the Capitol, congressional leaders offered the prayers of a nation. But then, Scalise�s Republican colleagues did something truly craven: They used the shooting to rally support for less restrictive gun laws.

Oh, I know it is the middle of July and the temperatures are scorching hot, but I also know dove season is less than 45 days away. I also know that just this past week after watching the debut summer episode of "Struttin Bucks" on the Pursuit Channel, I am definitely fired up for the 2017 deer season in the Natural State. If you have not had a chance to see the show featuring Brandon Hunt's harvest of the "Hurricane Buck," I highly suggest you check your listings (Pursuit Channel) and find out when it will air again to catch some of Hunt and Heath Graham's work. It is simply outstanding and will definitely have you fired up for the upcoming season!

The good news is the folks at Super Brush LLC have developed the Swab-its line of polyurethane foam swabs and applicators especially designed for gun cleaning, including a new Star Chamber swab for AR-15/M4 chambers.
