On the Fourth of July in 1925 a young cowboy decided to celebrate by firing his Colt .45 Single Action. He was using black powder loads; however, the bullets were oversized and he had ground the black powder to finer granules. The top half of the cylinder and the top strap parted company from that old Colt. This not only caused him to switch from the .45 to the .44 Special, it also started a writing career that would span six decades.

The .300 Winchester Magnum descended from the legendary .375 H&H cartridge, which after many successful hunts in Africa, developed a reputation for being capable of taking every game animal on the entire continent. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the .300 Win Mag has a reputation of being able to take any game animal in North America. When you compare .300 Win Mag vs .30-06, in most cases, the .300 Win Mag enjoys a velocity advantage of nearly 300 feet per second over the .30-06, a cartridge that lives up to its heritage and name.

A few years ago we posted a discussion about whether or not .22 LR pistols made sense for self defense. It's garnered enough attention to remain in the top six most popular articles on the site. It's about time that we follow up with a conversation about another commonly asked question: Do .22 LR rifles make sense for home defense? First, let's take a look at how .22 LR rifles compare to .22-caliber pistols. Then we'll size them up against center-fire handguns and carbines.

It�s always news when a city has a gun buyback program. Giving people easy cash for old guns seems to excite leftists. In San Luis Obispo, California, though, the police department has a new twist on what�s become an old idea: Instead of cash, they�ll give people food (or, more accurately, gift cards for food) for their guns. The whole thing is a perfect metaphor for Biden�s America. It�s a place in which government policies are so bad that people are desperate for food and the government is still desperate to disarm its citizens.

One of the great passions of my life, handguns, go back more than 500 years. Even though the idea of the cartridge is nearly 200-years old, powder, ball and cap were state-of-the-art for most of the 19th century. A Frenchman patented the idea in 1812. Another Frenchman came up with the pinfire cartridge in 1846 and Flobert exhibited a rimfire cartridge at the London Exhibition in 1851. Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, Smith & Wesson received a patent for a centerfire metallic cartridge in 1854 and then around 1856 developed the first true rimfire cartridge as it is known today.

Browning has a reputation for making some fine shotguns for sporting and hunting alike, but the single-shot break-action BT-99 brings a level of Zen to busting clays that I can�t say I have felt before. The gun is somewhat hefty for a single-shot 12-gauge shotgun, but it has a charm that is all its own. I plucked this good-looking single from the Guns.com Vault for some testing. Here�s what it was like to spend a few months trying it out.
