The popularity of the lead flat nose is hard to beat if you’re looking for a great match shooting round or a general target shooting bullet type. The flat nose makes it easier to see exactly where your bullet penetrated a paper target, which makes for much easier scoring, as the hole is cleaner with less radial tearing. |

While visiting Walther's state-of-the-art factory in Ulm, Germany earlier this year, I came across my favorite pistol that carries the company's iconic banner. Walther has been around in one form or another, and one location or another, to the 1880s. Whenever you say the company's name in a conversation, the immediate Pavlovian response is typically PPK, PDP, P99, or P-38. |

ABC News is reporting that gun control lobbying groups “are bracing for (Donald Trump) to keep his campaign promise to sign a nationwide ‘concealed carry reciprocity’ law.” This was one of Trump’s early campaign promises, made in 2023, and as the president-elect assembles his cabinet and administration officials, it appears clear the “gun vote” helped him secure the Nov. 5 victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. |

The 2024 elections brought significant changes to the political landscape, with Republicans taking control of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. This shift has created a unique opportunity to push forward a legislative agenda that champions constitutional values, including the right to keep and bear arms. One piece of legislation at the forefront of this movement is Rep. Thomas Massie’s National Constitutional Carry Act (H.R. 9534), which aims to ensure that Americans can exercise their Second Amendment rights without interference from state or local restrictions. |
The Illinois 'assault weapon' ban fails

The Heller, McDonald and Bruen decisions made clear the Second Amendment acknowledges-- does not grant--an individual right to keep and bear arms, a right that does not end at one’s property line, and encompasses weapons—not just firearms--in common use for lawful purposes such as self-defense. Government may not erect arbitrary barriers to the exercise of the right, but because the Supreme Court hasn’t absolutely delineated what weapons in “common use” might be, blue states like Illinois remain determined to disarm Americans, the better to crush them when it’s time for the glorious revolution. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
