The 2011 Bull Barrel CoolFire Trainer adds believable CO2 recoil and auto reset to dry fire, turning living room reps into full-speed practice that feels dangerously close to live fire. Turn Dry Fire Into Real Recoil At Home The best, most cost-effective way to train with a handgun is dry fire training. Dry fire training is essential in building muscle memory and learning efficient weapon manipulation. This applies to the responsible gun owner who wants to properly defend their family if the need arises, the competition shooter who wants to refine their skills, or a new shooter who is trying…

Sixty-plus years in, .223 Remington still delivers cheap practice and low recoil, but its ceiling shows fast. We ran it through hunting, defense, and training use to see exactly where it still wins and where it taps out. The 223 Remington’s been on the civilian market for more than 60 years. In that time, it’s enjoyed extraordinary popularity thanks to its low cost, availability, and minimal recoil. 223 Remington looks like the perfect versatile rifle cartridge on the surface, but is it really? 60 years later, have we moved on to possibly bigger, more ballistically advanced cartridges? Let’s find out.…

If you live in the Golden State, you’re aware that there are significant limitations on which firearms you’re legally allowed to possess. That means Californians interested in exercising their Second Amendment rights must pick and choose from a CA-compliant roster of handguns (and go through a lot of other legal hoops). We’ve checked out the most recent roster and selected the top five handguns you can own in California. Streamlining is where it’s at, and we’re here to help. The Roster of CA-Compliant Handguns Before we get into the guns themselves, let’s run through a quick explanation of California’s Roster…

Smith & Wesson’s M&P22X brings full-size ergonomics, a crisp 3.5-pound trigger, 20+1 capacity, and suppressor-ready convenience to the .22 LR lane. We ran it with irons, a red dot, and a can to see if this rimfire really shoots laser flat and stays reliable. Big-Gun Feel, Rimfire Costs, Real Training Payoff The Smith & Wesson M&P22X brings full-size ergonomics, a 20-round magazine, a threaded barrel, and optic ready slide to the rimfire space. This makes it a strong option for training, recreational shooting, and varmint control. Chambered in .22 LR, the 22X keeps shooting costs low while offering a familiar…

Fast to shoulder, light in the woods, and still pure Americana, the Winchester Model 94 remains a freezer filler and a bucket list lever for hunters who actually hunt. Why This Winchester Model 94 Still Owns Deer Season If there is one bucket list rifle that should be on every rifle shooter’s list, especially if you are a deer hunter, it is the Winchester 94. This rifle had nothing to do with taming the Old West like the Winchester Model 1873 or the Model 1892, but the Model 94 earned a reputation as a deer getter with generations of hunters.…

Pro-gun legislators in Georgia have introduced a bill that would help protect gun owners who use their firearms in self-defense by strengthening the state’s Stand Your Ground (SYG) law. HB 1226 provides much-needed legal protection that is currently missing from the law, according to the group Georgia Gun Owners (GGO). “Georgia code presumes that if gun owners use a firearm in a self-defense situation, we’re guilty,” GGO said in an alert to members. “That means that instead of the state needing to prove our guilt, gun owners need to prove our innocence. That gives all of the power to the…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  Negotiations with Iran have reached a breaking point just as a parade of 6 planets is appearing in the night sky and a major blood moon eclipse is approaching next week. The skeptics will continue to insist that this is “just a coincidence” even as the missiles start flying. The third round of talks between the United States and Iran has ended in Geneva, and they produced nothing. The U.S. wanted Iran to transfer all enriched uranium out of the country, to cease all future uranium enrichment,…

Some skis are built for tidy corduroy and parallel grooves. Others are built for curiosity. When Ryan — my husband and fellow gear tester — and I first clicked into the Rossignol XP 105 Positrack skis near Togwotee Pass, we had absolutely zero intention of staying in the tracks. The plan was simple: push into fresh snow and see how far into the quiet we could go. The wide tips stayed on top, the fishscale base gripped confidently on climbs, and the skis felt composed when the terrain tilted downhill. Over the following months, we skied them across forest roads,…
