Before this latest introduction, if you wanted a Smith & Wesson 10 mm handgun, you had to hunt for one of Smith's third-gen semi-automatics, like the 1006 or its variants. The S&W 1000 series of guns is most famous for being the gun the FBI chose to adopt in a short-lived attempt to move to the 10 mm Auto cartridge as a duty round. The FBI, infamously, ultimately chose the .40 S&W instead, but the S&W 1006 and its brethren live on as one of the strongest 10 mm semi-auto handguns ever built. Now, the Smith & Wesson 10 mm is back in the form of a beefed-up M&P. Watch the video above to see this latest M&P 10 mm in use on the NRA Tech Range. Read More

The First World War introduced a wide range of military technologies that we take for granted today. Probably the most important of these deadly innovations was the marriage of the aircraft and the machine gun. Beginning with particularly crude modifications and lash-ups, combat aviators on both sides rapidly advanced the effectiveness of the firearms of the first air war. Read More

A tremendous amount of engineering and craftsmanship must go into a rifle if it can harness the high pressures of a magnum cartridge yet remain light enough for comfortable use on a long trek. Weatherby's Mark V is a great example, as, even nearly 70 years after its introduction, it remains one of the strongest bolt-actions on the market. Roy Weatherby's timeless design seems to have only improved with age. Read More

As the new millennium was coming, cartridge development centered around eliminating the belt that wraps around the base of the Holland & Holland magnum cartridges. The belt was found by some to be superfluous, and an increase of the diameter of the case allowed for more powder, which resulted in greater velocity. Read More

Most anyone should find the history of the Browning Superposed shotgun to be interesting, but, because of one particular example in my possession, I find it downright fascinating. You see, my Superposed was born in Belgium sometime in the mid-1960s, more than 55 years ago. At a young age, the 20 gauge, blessed with striking good looks, was shipped from FN's Leige factory to a sporting goods store in Durban, South Africa. Read More

A .22-250 Rem. with a 1:8" rifling twist enables varmint hunters to accurately shoot nearly the full range of .22-cal. bullet weights. The standard 55-grain bullet is still a perfect choice for hunting coyotes, however, because its high velocity provides an extremely flat trajectory. Read More
