Henry’s Updates .30-30 and .45-70: Review Redux

The Henry Repeating Arms Company has listened to customer suggestions and issues and has now addressed a few problem areas on their .45-70 and .30-30 rifles. We’re back on the range with the new guns to update our original review. So what’s new?

The Used Market: The Full Bodied .380 Taurus PT-58

The Used Market: The Full Bodied .380 Taurus PT-58

Polymer mouse guns aren’t for everyone. Some of us prefer a more substantial .380–but they’re getting to be rather scarce. Here’s one you should consider if you ever come across one used. The Taurus Pt-58.

The Baby Browning--a Micro Classic

The Baby Browning–a Micro Classic

GunsAmerica Shooting History takes a look at the classic FN made Baby Browning. This is a very well made little mouse gun that was an update of the Colt Vest Pocket. How well does this .25 stack up, and is it a viable gun for concealed carry?

New Gun Review: Springfield 1911, Loaded Parkerized with Crimson Trace

Springfield Armory has a new Loaded 1911. We put this Crimson Trace Laser Grip pistol through its paces. This would make a nice EDC full sized 1911.

JFK’s Winchester on Display — SHOT Show 2016

At SHOT Show 2016, we had a chance to visit Winchester’s mini-Museum, which had all sorts of awesome guns on display to celebrate its 150th Birthday. Check out some of the cool pics and the new commemorative guns!

Mossberg Yetis–and We’re Not Talking Coolers–SHOT Show 2016

Mossberg had a couple of new shotguns to show off at SHOT Show 2016. These were all built on the tried and true 930 platform. One is a new compition gun that bares Jerry Miculek’s name and the other is a winter themed hunting shotgun. Both of these new lines are pretty cool and one of them is down right cold.

AR Shotguns and The Best Deal for Trap--Tristar --SHOT Show 2016

AR Shotguns and The Best Deal for Trap–Tristar –SHOT Show 2016

Tristar had some new shotguns at SHOT Show this year. If you are not familiar with Tristar they are making some very nicely build price-point shotguns. They may not have the fanciest fit and finish or every bell and whistle, but they flat out run. There were two stand outs in the new guns Tristar had at SHOT this year. One is a tactical AR styled shotgun and the other is a single barrel trap gun.

STG 44 Takes AR Mags – New in 5.56, 7.62, .300BLK – SHOT Show 2016

Hill and Mac had a very interesting gun at SHOT Show this year. They have taken the WWII German StG 44 and updated it while still retaining the original looks. The biggest news is that they will be available in calibers other than the hard to find original 8mm Kurz. It will come in 5.56, 7.62×39 and 300 Blackout in addition to the original 7.92×33.

Thompson Center had two new rifles to show off at SHOT Show 2016. The first is the Compass center fire rifle that offers some excellent and exciting features for a budget price with a sub MOA guarantee. The second is the new Strike muzzle loader that is striker fired.

3 Reed Duck Call From Sure-Shot --SHOT Show 2016

3 Reed Duck Call From Sure-Shot –SHOT Show 2016

The Model 700 Classic Triple Reed duck call from Sure-Shot from the 1960s has been out of production for a long time. Getting the 3 reeds right is not an easy trick. It is very easy to end up with an overly thick stack of reeds that are unresponsive and dull sounding. From what we heard in the booth at SHOT Show, Sure Shot Game Calls has got it right, and they’re bringing the Triple Reed back.
