Smaller calibers are making quite a surge lately. Between 5.7 and the .22 LR it seems that the gun industry is all about going small and compact. And 22 LR, in particular, is getting quite a bit of attention. Ruger did a .22 LR LCP, Christensen Arms did the Ranger, and Kel Tec has given … Read more
Back in high school, I was a big kid: 6-4, 230 pounds. I ran slowly; my fielding ability was below-average. But I could flat out hit a baseball. I could see which way the ball’s seams spun before it got halfway to home plate. I knew early if it was a curve, slider or fastball. I … Read more
I’m a sucker for the weird and the odd in the gun world. It doesn’t have to be efficient or effective to draw my attention. I can appreciate artistic quality and craft put in the Bond Arms derringers. I can appreciate the unique quality and designs Kel Tec puts out, and I can most certainly … Read more
Not long ago I wrote an article about a folding survival shotgun and one of the commenters said something along the lines of, “Opinions on survival firearms are like assholes. Everybody has at least one.” He went on to elaborate about his choice of a takedown .22. Well, he’s right. Lots of people praise this … Read more

And, now, they have released something really cool: a miniature 91/30 Mosin Nagant aptly yclept the Mini Mosin. This is apparently … Read more
Shooters are seeing a lot of factory-threaded barrels that accept sound suppressors and other muzzle devices, and rimfire rifles, such as the Savage MKII FV-SR Threaded Barrel 22LR, are part of this new supply. In the past, I’ve thought of suppressors as add-ons to my GLOCK 9mm pistol or a Remington .45 ACP 1911, but … Read more
A North American Arms .22LR Mini Revolver with a five-shot capacity and a money clip with a $20 on top. I’ll just let you guys loose on this one. Thoughts?
Thirty-three rounds. That’s 33. The Kel-Tec CP33 holds 33 rounds of .22 LR. Unless, of course, you slap on a little magazine extension and load up 50. Fifty rounds in a pistol magazine. A factory magazine. You have my attention. https://youtu.be/GOP7pxFZUHo Boy oh boy is it easy and fun to go through all of that … Read more
