Hornady has been on a roll the last few years with its line of ARC cartridges. The 6mm ARC, 22 ARC and now 338 ARC are all impressive new cartridges that don’t disappoint. But the burning question most of us have: Do they work as advertised? The 338 ARC intrigues me and I for one want to know a lot more about it. What can it do? What can it not do? Why does it matter? For that to happen, I built what I’m calling “The Tester”.

CANCON South Carolina 2024 was a great event for a lot of reasons. New venue, bigger crowd, and the BBQ is better in South Carolina than it is in Georgia (fight me in the comments). The highlight of the event for me was the BOSS Silencers booth with its wide range of great-sounding cans. While the GUILLOTINE 5.56 and the price of only $500 is what won other editors’ hearts during RECOIL’s Best Suppressor Test, what caught my eye was the then-unreleased Commander SWAT.

What we love and what we hate about the 1911 is actually the same thing. An old design that has stood the test of time, the 1911 is not easy to manufacture. It is labor-intensive and requires expensive methods of production. If you want a top-tier 1911, you’ll also need it to be hand-fitted and that will cause the price to skyrocket. You might hate the cost, but what drives the cost is exactly what makes the 1911 special. Reducing the cost requires that you reduce what you love about the platform.
