A very honest review of the new striker-fired Sig Sauer P320 at The Truth About Guns.Enjoy!
Glock announces new factory threaded barrels
At the NRA convention, Glock announced it would be offering factory threaded barrels, as well as new production Glock 17Ls. This is great news for Glock aficionados, as the company has not been as active an innovator as many of their competitors. They are even hinting at a single-stack 9mm... I personally love the Glock 17L, the original "competition Glock" with a full 6" barrel. It is one of the most accurate Glocks even at longer distances.

Shooting the new Sig Sauer P 938-22
While at SHOT Show, we had the opportunity to shoot the new Sig Sauer P 938-22 Long Slide "target" variant, which was very enjoyable to shoot. Apart from offering it as a separate product, Sig will be offering the standard length (3.3 inch barrel) upper as well as the long slide "target" (4.1 inch barrel) upper for your existing 9mm P 938. It was a lot of fun, and quite accurate at about 10 yards. Watch our video below:
The $1,000 Dollar 1,000 Yard Rifle
Not long ago we were discussing the Sig SSG 3000 rifle, and although we all love it, many of the comments centered around the high price for this fantastic rifle. Well, our friends over at the Military Arms Channel have posted a couple of YouTube videos of their search for the $1,000 dollar 1,000 yard rifle...enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Federal Court rules in favor of another shall issue case in California
The Second Amendment Foundation and The Calguns Foundation earned a significant victory today when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case of Richards v. Prieto, challenging the handgun carry license issuing policy of Yolo County, California, Sheriff Ed Prieto.
It would appear that legal carry continues to gain ground when one of the most liberal courts in the country admits that the Constitution means what it says it means.

1st Independent Test of G2 RIP Ammo
The Truth About Guns has run the first independent testing of the new G2 RIP (Radically Invasive Projectile) ammo that has been generating so much buzz lately as “the last round you’ll ever need.” This ammo seems very interesting, so I thought I’d pass this on, since all we’ve had up to now has been the manufacturer’s own information.
G2 Research’s RIP Ammo – Ballistic Testing, Phase One
I have personally gone through a series of steps in selecting my defensive ammo, taking many things into consideration for my individual circumstances and surroundings, so I am always interested in new technology in this area. What do you think about it?
Shooting the Sig SSG 3000 Rifle
The Sig SSG 3000 is one of Sig’s precision big bore rifles. This one in particular was chambered in .308 with a 24” barrel. Now, I am not a hunter or much of an experienced rifle shooter, but I thought I’d try it out while at Sig Sauer’s media range day at Shot Show.
The rifle is extremely well built, solid, and very stable at about 12 lbs. With just a few seconds of instruction by Sig personnel, I was making head-size hits at 100 yds. The trigger is absolutely smooth and light (3.5 lbs. per Sig specs), and the stock design permits a stable and comfortable hold. I’m not sure of the type of scope installed on this one, but it was perfectly zeroed and allowed me to make shots that I would not normally expect to make.
New Benelli Ethos
As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of shotguns and the shotgun sports. One of my most prized firearms is from the Ethos' predecessor series, the Benelli Performance Shop SuperSport; which is the Benelli SuperSport with the Briley performance upgrades (ported barrel, Briley extended chokes, lengthened forcing cone, back-bored to .733, Briley EZ-bolt release and enlarged bolt handle, polished action, tuned trigger). It is an amazing shotgun, and it works like a charm!
