This week, American Rifleman Television continues its in-depth look at “the day that will live in infamy,” the Japanese attack of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. For our “Rifleman Review,” Brian Sheetz heads to the range with the new Springfield SOCOM 16. This updated version of the venerable M1A features a new chassis stock and comes straight from the factory with a reflex site. For “I Have This Old Gun,” we examine the 9 mm SIG P210 pistol, really the Rolex of service pistols. Swiss watches wish they were as well made as the SIG P210.
