The Do-It-All 12 Gauge
All the gauges are useful for some purpose or other, and I love ’em all. But a twelve? A twelve will do damn near anything! A while ago, I reviewed Remington’s 12-gauge, V3 Tac 13. Despite its short barrel and abbreviated stock, I found it to be a truly versatile...
Dad’s Browning
Suddenly, the dog stopped, his tail circling. Two roosters flushed. The Browning leapt to my father’s shoulder as if it had a life of its own. “A poor man can only afford the best.” This was the mantra my father lived by. Dad was a professional firefighter for nearly...

True Romance: The Ugartachea 20-Gauge
I quickly surmised that the pawn shop didn't know what it had – a Spanish double of good repute. Further, they were asking only $295. My grandfather had an old double barrel that I never shouldered. It hung beyond my reach above my grandmother's china cabinet,...
Collecting Guns
A simple but effective technique has proven workable to many gun collectors. And it’s almost as classic. One of the finer points of gun collecting, if not the finest, is the ability of concealing from your wife: (1) the fact that you have actually purchased a new gun...
