Speed Strips vs. Speedloaders - Keeping Your Revolver In The Fight

Nov 4, 2024 | ammoland.com | Terril Hebert

Terril J. Hebert looks the advantages and disadvantages of Speed Strips vs. Speedloaders in revolver reloading. The number of rounds fired in citizen-involved self-defense encounters is hard to gauge. I have searched high and low for answers, but even the FBI doesn’t keep that sort of data. Studies, including that conducted by Kleck and Gertz in their 1995 book Armed Resistance to Crime point out that more than 92 percent of all self-defense uses of firearms don’t involve firing the gun.
Is the Ruger 10/22 Takedown the Ultimate Survival Rifle?

Oct 22, 2024 | ammoland.com | Terril Hebert

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- In a previous article, we took a look at a pair of classic take-down 22 caliber rifles: the Henry AR-7 and the Marlin Papoose. In that work, I stressed the importance of a lightweight, packable rifle for emergency survival use and how the time-proven AR7 and Papoose came along to fit the need. The elephant in the room was the Ruger 10/22 takedown, a rifle that has been out for several years and one that seems like a natural competitor to those other rifles.
Marlin Model 60 vs. Ruger 10/22 - Battle for the Best 22 Rifle ~ VIDEO

Jul 26, 2024 | ammoland.com | Terril Hebert

OpinionTerril brings us a fun comparison between the two best-selling 22 rifles: the Marlin Model 60 and the Ruger 10/22. I am often asked what caliber or firearm is best for a given task. This is surprising, considering I don’t look like a guy you would ask for directions to the airport, let alone anything of consequence like guns and ammo. Which is better? 9 or 45? Revolver or autoloader? SD9VE versus anything by Taurus?
The Walther PPK/S: Back in .32 ACP

Jul 12, 2024 | thetruthaboutguns.com | Terril Hebert

Next Post Coming Soon...▶The Walther PPK is a legendary design that paved the way for a half-century of handgun development. Like the real life and fictional heroes and villains that carried it, the PPK has become something of an archetype. It exists and has been little changed since it was introduced in 1931. But the landscape the PPK exists in did change. The end of World War II brought PPK production out of Germany for the first time. The Gun Control Act of 1968 birthed the PPK/S model.
Ruger Single Six Revolver - Still One of the Best Handguns to Own

Jul 2, 2024 | ammoland.com | Terril Hebert

The Ruger Single Six hearkens back to the popularity of TV Westerns that came with the dawn of television in the households of ordinary Americans in the 1950s. Back then, Ruger was a newcomer to the game–not the giant it is today. Colt stopped producing their legendary Single Action Army Revolver so they could focus on production for World War II contracts.
The B&T SPR86 Precision Rifle in 8.6 Blackout

Jun 15, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Terril Hebert |James Hebert

The 8.6 Blackout cartridge is taking the suppressed shooting community by storm. Think of it as a product-improved subsonic .300 Blackout cartridge with a bigger bore, 300+ grain bullets, less drop, and a practical range measured in the hundreds of yards rather than the dozens. B&T, the storied rifle and submachine gun maker, has tossed its hat into the 8.6 ring with its deployment-ready SPR86 Precision Rifle. B&T has launched their own micro precision rifle in 8.6 Blackout–the SPR86.
The Wonderful World of CZ-75 Magazines

Jun 14, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Terril Hebert |James Hebert

The CZ-75 is one of the original Wonder Nine pistols and has been in continuous production, in one form or another, since it was introduced in 1975. It even spawned clones from companies like Tanfoglio and IMI. The CZ-75 isn’t obscure and has several magazine options to suit any need. Recently, I acquired and tested several new magazines representative of what GMW offers.
The .357 Magnum in Snubnose Revolvers

Jun 11, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Terril Hebert |James Hebert

The .357 Magnum had been used for decades by police, security personnel, and armed citizens. Although not as prevalent now as it once was, it is still among the more popular revolver cartridges around. Certain limits do exist to its practicality, like any other round. There are many more .357 revolvers on the market now than during the round’s heyday, most of them smaller, lighter, and higher capacity than the traditional revolver.
Bear Creek Arsenal .350 Legend Upper: 300 Rounds Later

Jun 8, 2024 | gunmagwarehouse.com | Terril Hebert |James Hebert

The AR-15 is the rifle of choice for sports shooting and personal defense, but it is also increasingly popular for hunting. Yes, you can hunt with an AR-15, and for some shooters, it is the most practical option. While a stock AR chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington is suitable for deer at closer distances, sometimes you need a round with more thump. Indeed, some state hunting laws require a larger-caliber round.
Colt Python vs. Smith & Wesson 686+

Jun 8, 2024 | thetruthaboutguns.com | Terril Hebert

Next Post Coming Soon...▶The Colt Python and the Smith & Wesson 686 are two mid-sized .357 Magnum revolvers that have competed with one another off and on for decades. While I have long been a fan of Smith & Wesson revolvers, Colt’s reintroduction of the Python in 2020 made me curious as to how the modern iterations of each revolver stack up. Recently the stars aligned, and I have both the new Python and 686+ in inventory.
