I recently did two things that I always swore I would never do: spend beaucoup bucks on a bespoke, custom-made firearm and purchase an M1911. Regarding the former, it's just because I'm an inveterate frugal person who owns exactly one pair of jeans at any given time, cuts his own hair, eats a PB&J for lunch most days, gets a good six months out of a razor and who wears the same pair of $20 shoes until they disintegrate beyond the point of repair.

Mark, when do these magazines go out?" asked the then-new executive director of NRA Publications, Joe H. Graham, when he took over in January 2000. "Sir, they go out on the 23rd," I replied. "All right, Mark. There are two things I need you to do," Graham said. "Take Red Bell's name out, put mine in—and I want you to take the word ‘managing' out from in front of your title." At that point, I had worked as the managing editor for five years and been an NRA staffer for 10. Read More

It's unfortunate that Hugo Schmeisser's renown comes from having his surname erroneously appended to the superb World War II German MP38/40 submachine gun, a firearm he really had nothing to do with. Sadly, this subordinates the inventor's more important achievements, which includes the development of the superb Great War-vintage Maschinenpistole 18 and, on a lesser scale, a handy little (this time, correctly attributed) namesake .25 ACP pistol that he devised along with his brother, Hans.

Benelli USA is the stateside subsidiary for the Italian-based firm, which got its start in the late 1960s making motorcycles. Soon after, the world watched as guns began to wear the Benelli banner. With the Model 121, a new generation of semi-automatic shotguns was born, making it the progenitor of all Benelli products. Given the popularity of Benelli shotguns, it's safe to say Bruno Civolani's inertia-operated system has been a successful one. Watch the video above to see Benelli's SBE3 20 gauge in use on the range. Read More

Before the advent of pump-action and semi-automatic smoothbores, if you wanted, or needed, a fast second shot, your only recourse was a double-barrel shotgun. Today, that same option still reigns supreme, especially among traditionalists and those who also appreciate the heft, grace and balance of twin tubes, either side-by-side or stacked one on top of the other.

It's no secret more places of worship are employing armed security measures than ever before. Acquiring figures that demonstrate the trend is a challenge, although results of a Lifeway Research survey—released June 6—indicate the number of Protestant churches that enlist armed members of their congregation as part of their preparedness has increased by 9 percent in the past three years. In addition, those enforcing a "no guns allowed" in a place of worship policy declined by 6 percent during the same period. Read More

The most important item in rifle shooting is to squeeze the trigger in such a way as to fire the rifle without affecting the aim. The trigger must be squeezed so steadily that the firer cannot know the instant the piece will be fired. Any man can hold the rifle steadily enough to fire a good shot, and he can so hold it for a comparatively long time. Read More
