Charter Arms: Bulldog, Patriot and Pug push the concealable revolver concept into the 21st century

Posted in: Sports and Recreation
Like many readers, I spent a significant portion of my youth poring over the pages of every issue every other gun and hunting magazine I could find. I spent countless hours studying every page and coming up with lengthy, seemingly unobtainable wish lists. One gun that always made my list was Charter Arms' stubby little Bulldog revolver.

Benelli Legacy 28 Gauge

Posted in: Sports and Recreation
Benelli inertia-driven shotguns have earned an extraordinary reputation for reliability among virtually every subset of shotgunner in the United States –waterfowler, clays shooter, tactical types, upland gunners, even deer hunters – every type of smoothbore operator save one, the small-bore aficionado.  Up until now you could have a Benelli in any gauge you wanted…as long as it was 12 or 20.  But now the Legacy, the company’s upscale showpiece, has been scaled and sculpted down to 28 gauge.

Glock Generation 4 Review

Posted in: Sports and Recreation
In the United States today, the service pistol issued by more police departments than any other is the Glock 22 in .40 S&W. Worldwide, the most popular seems to be its older sister, the Glock 17 in 9xl9mm. Many U. S. police forces use the full-size 9mm Glock as well. Its smaller version, the Glock 19, is the single most popular handgun among the well over 30,000 NYPD officers who have to buy their own 9mm pistols.

Benelli MR1 Carbine

Posted in: Sports and Recreation
Benelli often takes unusual approaches to simplify firearm designs and enhance performance- take the Vinci semi-automatic shotgun, for example, with its distinctive modularity and In-Line Inertia Driven system. Even crossbreeding certain models isn't off-limits to the Italian company, which since 1998 has been incorporating variants of its auto-regulating gas-operated (ARGO) system into both rifles and shotguns, starting with the Marine Corps-adopted M4 Super 90 shotgun, or M1014, and later the company's first-ever rifle, aptly named the R1. Most recently Benelli built a version of the proven system into the MR1 Carbine, a 5.56x45mm NATO/.223 Rem.-chambered rifle with shotgun--like ergonomics. It is reviewed here.

Bushmaster ACR

Posted in: Sports and Recreation
The Bushmaster ACR is a firearm both propelled and burdened by its legacy as the Magpul Masada. First unveiled at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando, Fla., the gun created quite a stir among the semi-automatic rifle aficionados in attendance.
