Trying to determine the best cartridge to use for hunting or target shooting is tough because when it comes to caliber selection, there are so many options that it’s hard to say one is always better than another. It often comes down to the shooter’s preferences and the specific scenario of the hunt. The .308 […]
One of the most longstanding debates in shooting circles is the comparison between 1911s and modern polymer-framed pistols. For the sake of narrowing down the different aspects to debate, we’ll be referring to the historic .45 ACP 1911 setup, but there are other variants like the 9mm and 10mm (my favorite).

Recently, a buddy and I decided to go on a walk in the woods to stretch our legs. However, with multiple small game hunting seasons open, we each wanted to bring a gun that would work well on just about anything legal. Not knowing what we would encounter and without talking to each other, we […]
