This is so new from Walther that there are only two models in the United States. It’s the same as the PPQ M2, but features a five inch slide and barrel combo with some cut outs in the slide for quicker cycling. With only 2 models in existence, it’s not yet ready for USPSA Production, but hopefully Walther will get it on the list once it’s rolling off the assembly lines.
I love how the firearms industry is embracing the inter-webs. It took them long enough. At SHOTShow 2013, I was shocked to learn that there were still manufacturers without a twitter handle! Shocked! Since then, we’ve grown exponentially. Gun-folks have…
Today’s installment of Tales of the Gun is on the birth and development of America’s rifle: The Eugene Stoner designed AR family of weapons. Mr. Stoner’s design has proven to be one of the most versatile in the history of…
Another year, another NRA Annual Meetings. I’ll be on the show floor hitting up vendors, clients, and looking for new gear – meanwhile our sometimes writer and full time editor of GunUp the Magazine Shelley Rae will be out Shelly…
By now you should know that Top Shot: All-Stars is going to premiere May 29th, and as usual Gun Nuts will be providing you with the top notch coverage you’ve come to expect. With that in mind, let’s take a…
Last year, I wore a kilt to Bianchi Cup, Steel Challenge, and IDPA Nats to raise money for charity. It was quite successful, with over $10,000 (you guys RULE) donated to Livestrong and the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

So the question for you is: should I do it again? I genuinely like doing the charity stuff, and the kilt is kind of fun. But for the readers, would you rather see a different angle this year? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
If you visit any firearms related site often enough, sooner or later you will bear witness to a heated debate on the topic of open carry. People often feel very strongly about their position on open carry which is fine,…
Check out the full length original version at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ALRLHpOTw it has a lot more awesome shots of Eric in action.
Eric Grauffel is considered by many to be the best action pistol shooter in the world. As an example, check out this video of him doing a weak-hand draw and reload at a recent IPSC match.
There’s absolutely no wasted movement; by pivoting his body he can safely keep the muzzle downrange, easily grab the spare mag, and reload without having to move his torso at an awkward angle. It’s quite impressive.
In the first article of the Colt Report I went through what mods had been done to each gun and how many rounds each had fired. I also noted that #440, the main match gun had experienced a considerable number…
What are you looking forward to in this, the fifth season of Top Shot? More importantly, how do you want us to cover it? I’m thinking about having a writer’s roundtable of each episode, where Gabby, Tim and I each share our thoughts on the episode in a post. Let me know what you’d like to see from our coverage of Top Shot All Stars!
To the displaced manufacturers of the firearms community: I was sad to hear that the laws in your home states, are causing you to look for new digs. The loss of American jobs and revenue are a disappointing sign that…
The FNS-9 has a lot going for it; and if I lived in a world without Glocks would likely jump to the top of my list of striker fired guns. I don’t know enough about the PPX to make a judgement on it one way or the other, but I generally liked the PPQ that it’s replacing.
Correction: The PPQ was updated to the PPQ M2, and the PPX added to the lineup to provide a cost attractive option.
Just recently, I had a chance to see a 1911 extractor break in the strangest fashion – the base of the part. Check out the pictures: A side note, why is it that guns always break in the most interesting…
The bros at Lucky Gunner are a pretty good bellweather of the current state of the ammunition crisis. I’ve worked with them in the past and have bought a lot of ammo from them, and they’ve always been stand-up guys,…
This is the POV view from the run I talked about in my “run it until the wheels come off” post. One of the advantages of POV video is that if you’re like me, you can remember what was going through your head (or not) when you pulled a shot. For example, from the video I can remember some of the low points, like throwing a miss on the strong hand only string on Stage 1 because I got on the trigger too soon. But it was a lot of fun to just blaze the IDPA classifier and not worry about points down.
