You’ll often read in the media how COVID cases are overburdening the hospital system. Beds are filling up, doctors and nurses are working day and night to care for patients, and the hospital system is at risk of coming apart at the seams.

With so many choices among defensive pistol calibers, it can be hard for new calibers to break into the market. That’s particularly true when the pistols in which they’re chambered are well outside the price range of the average shooter.

But the lockdowns dragged on, and months after they first were implemented, governments have continued to leave in place restrictions on mass […]

In many areas of life, things that are old eventually become new again. And in the firearms world that is just as true. Many old cartridges that once were thought to be obsolete have obtained a new lease on life. Among those is the .30-40 Krag. The .30-40 Krag has the distinction of being one […]
