The magazine is always great! I object to the policy of most of the main stream gun maker, s selling guns to law enforcement that are prohibited to citizens of California and favoring law enforcement over "the people." We either hang together or we hang separately. Please encourage these companies...
It's a rainy Sunday and I was cleaning out some of the old magazines in which I had articles. In hand is the Nov/Dec 1988 issue of Handgunner. My only contribution was, of all things, a book review on Brian A Felter's book Police Defensive Handgun Use and Encounter Tactics....
Thanks for the Tom Campbell story (Better Shooting, July/Aug). Sometime in the mid to late 1980s I attended an IPSC match at the Westfield Sportsmen's Assoc. (I hope I got that right. I just turned 60!) in Westfield, MA. Living in New England, needless to say, I had heard of...

The Brownells catalog is one of my favorite books. It contains every imaginable tool and accessory for the professional gunsmith, but what really interests me are the thousands of firearms accessories and components, items to make good guns better. The Brownells people won't tolerate junk. If a product isn't high...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The Ruger .22 autopistol is one of the top handgun designs of the 20th century, and my favorite version is the 5 1/2" bull barrel target model. A while back I bought a secondhand standard Mk. II in near new condition, the standard model with 4"...
Volquartsen components have an outstanding reputation and the thought of turning my little plinker into a full house tack driver was intriguing. I ordered the black version with sights. This assembly has a stainless steel match-grade barrel and chamber with a machined aluminum receiver and barrel shroud. It's...
