The National Rifle Association responded this week to the Biden administration�s proposed rule requiring more background checks to combat rising gun violence, saying it was just another step to attack "law-abiding gun owners." Last year, Biden signed the most significant gun control bill in nearly 30 years, which incentivized states to pass red flag laws and expand background checks for 18- to 21-year-olds.

The Raging Hunter line of revolvers from Taurus has been around for years, but the new-for-2023 addition caught our eye at SHOT Show. How could it not? The 10-inch barrel, partially shrouded and partly exposed, culminates in perhaps the most massive muzzle device ever to grace a wheel gun.

Ruger offers a different take on the micro red-dot (MRD) with its ReadyDot, as the 1X reflex sight has no built-in electronics. Instead, the MRD uses a fiber-optic coil that gathers ambient light and directs it onto the lens, creating a large, easily seen 15-m.o.a. aiming dot.

Iron sights are one of the many topics that can spark up an instant debate in the gun community. Some folks swear by the rugged reliability of the age-old system, while others think that modern optics have made iron sights an archaic practice. So where does it all land?

By restricting the category of optic, we get a better �apples to apples� comparison.
