A Gun’s Name

In the movie “Full Metal Jacket,” marines named their rifles as a symbol of closeness with the one thing that could save their lives. Of course, they also slept with their guns, which is a completely different issue that I’m not going to touch. But the act of naming a firearm can provide a familiarity with a specific firearm, and it can be a lot of fun. A gun's name can be serious, lighthearted or downright ludicrous.

Why .380 ACP Became Hard to Find

Actually, I do have a (very) few rounds left over from recent survey stories on .380 autos in both Shooting Illustrated and American Rifleman. NRA Publications Division received a great deal of feedback in the form of letters, e-mails and phone calls about these articles.

But we can look at the situation and possibly get some kind of handle on what happened.

My Carry Gun

Everyone has his or her own theory about what gun to carry. Some people prefer semi-autos because of speed and capacity, while others favor the reliability of revolvers.

Nothing I do will ever end this argument, but I can explain my reasoning behind what and how I carry.
