SIG Sauer unveiled its Legion program last fall, which showcased P226 and P229 pistols that have been upgraded to include features desired by professional operators but, for now, are only available on the civilian models. Both the P226 and P229 are finished in a proprietary Legion gray PVD coating, custom G-10 grips with a Legion medallion, the new SIG Sauer Electro-Optics X-RAY high visibility day/night sights, and ship with three magazines. Tonight American Rifleman TV gets a chance to fire these new guns at SIG's Newington, N.H., factory, and learns the many other benefits of becoming a Legion member. 

"Rifleman Review" takes a look at the Les Baer Stinger 1911 pistol,


and "I Have This Old Gun" focuses on the Smith & Wesson Model 76 Submachine gun.

Why the Murder Rate Quickly Fell to a Likely Historic Low

If the gun-control Left is to be believed, then the murder rate in the U.S. should be going up. After all, gun sales and ownership rates have been rising for the last few decades and anti-gun groups claim that gun ownership is the cause of violent crime. This, of course, is nonsense.
