Goodbye Tavor TS12, Hello KS7.
Two years ago, I closed a blog post with this: Overall, I’m very happy with the Tavor TS12. Altogether I ran about 75 shells through it in an hour, half the light target loads, the other half full-power, high-brass slugs and 00Buck. It’s been decades since I shot a 12 gauge that much in that […]
An informal .32 H&R Magnum test, and a lesson relearned.
I’m not a fan of the .32acp for self-defense. But the .32 H&R mag or the .327 Federal mag are both respectable options, even out of a short barrel revolver. Since the 100gr Buffalo Bore Heavy 32 H&R Magnum +P ammo load wasn’t available when we did the .32 H&R tests, we weren’t sure how […]
Review: M&P FPC.
Sometimes, smaller *is* better: Yup, that’s the new Smith & Wesson M&P FPC (Folding Pistol Carbine), which I got to shoot recently. I’m a big fan of Pistol Caliber Carbines, and am on record loving my Kel Tec Sub2000 folding carbine in 9mm. That gun has served me well for the last 20 years or […]

Talking About Guns Across the Political Spectrum
Can we use the social media echo chamber to escape the echo chambers we all live in? I try to do this by maintaining an ideologically diverse set of friends and followers on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I am also fortunate to be asked to speak about guns by groups and media outlets across the … Continue reading Talking About Guns Across the Political Spectrum
