An Official Journal Of The NRA | Straight Talk: The Little Things

Fine-motor skills are all of those little functions that we do on a daily, even hourly, basis with our fingers and hands. Tying our shoes, buttoning our shirts, typing on the computer are all fine-motor skills. For the defensive shooter, fine-motor skills are also involved in loading the gun, executing the proper trigger press and clearing malfunctions.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: Ruger LC Carbine 10 mm

5 days ago | shootingillustrated.com | Brian McCombie

Ruger debuted its first LC Carbine in 2022, building it in the somewhat surprising chambering choice of 5.7x28 mm and followed up this launch with an LC Carbine in .45 ACP early in 2024. Now, the gunmaker offers a 10 mm-chambered version of the popular LC line. This newest LC Carbine represents a solid choice for home- and self-defense applications and will be a lot of fun at the range and for general recreational shooting.

Here we stand on the square range, just about ready to run another drill. We’ve had time to get a drink of water, load magazines, and check our gear. We know which targets to shoot at and they are right there in front of us. We have time to get into a good shooting stance. We even know how many shots to fire at the targets. We know all of this because our shooting instructor has carefully prepared us.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | I Carry: Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP Pistol in a Tulster Holster

1 week ago | shootingillustrated.com | Jay Grazio

Firearm: Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP (MSRP: $649)We’re going back to a familiar handgun for today’s kit: The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP. The standard Hellcat was one of the original offerings at the start of the recent micro 9 mm double-stack boom along with the SIG Sauer P365. These pistols brought near-full-size capacity to a pistol size that had really only been known for revolver-like numbers in single-stack guise.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Growth Continues in Virtual Shooting

1 week ago | shootingillustrated.com | Guy Sagi

One of the biggest advantages in virtual shooting is the ability to practice potentially lifesaving skills, at any time in the day or night, from the comfort of home. The benefits maximize when the gun and accessories reflect or are identical to someone’s self-defense setup. Ace Virtual Shooting continues to expand its partnerships in the industry for that reason, and the latest to sign on is Primary Arms Optics.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: Savage Stance XR

1 week ago | shootingillustrated.com | Tamara Keel

The micro-compact 9 mm pistol fad could fairly be laid at the feet of Kahr in the late 1990s, but for whatever reason it never really took off at the time. Maybe there weren’t enough “Shall-Issue” states, or maybe the early Kahr 9 mm pistols were too expensive, but regardless, these tiny nines remained niche. We hadn’t gotten around to railroading time yet.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Poland Sets Gun Ownership Record, Argentina Drops Minimum Age

1 week ago | shootingillustrated.com | Guy Sagi

The number of residents in Poland applying for a permit to own a firearm set a record in 2024 at nearly 46,000. The previous highwater mark, set in 2023, was roughly 41,000. The total number of guns owned by civilians in the nation now stands at 930,100, a figure that is twice what it was in 2017. Requirements to own a gun in Poland are stringent and include passing an exam, acquiring a certificate of health from a doctor and another from a psychologist.

1 week ago | shootingillustrated.com | Richard Mann

Wilson Combat has created a new division within the company that has three primary goals: The first is to showcase what Wilson Combat’s R&D division is capable of, the second is to thrust the manufacturer to the forefront regarding innovation, while the third is to provide consumers with superbly engineered firearms in a limited-edition capacity.
An Official Journal Of The NRA | What Will You Do?

2 weeks ago | shootingillustrated.com | Jim Wilson

You’ve seen posts reminding you that you are your own first responder. I have more than occasionally pointed out that you are responsible for your own safety, but I fear that too many fail to realize how quickly things can go bad. Consider this: the Tombstone streetfight near the OK Corral (October 26, 1881) left three men dead and two others wounded. All of that occurred in approximately 30 seconds, with some 30 shots being fired.
