In the latest video in the “Roy’s Insider Tips” series, American Handgunner Publisher Roy Huntington examines the effectiveness of .38 Special wadcutters at 100 yards. He uses a Smith & Wesson 6″ Model 14 and a 2 1/4″ J-Frame loaded with Federal Gold Medal Match and Black Hills Ammo 148-grain midrange target wadcutters – and had a lot of fun while testing this pair of sixguns.
“Shooting should be about fun, and fun should be their middle name when it comes to .38 Special target wadcutters,” Roy says. “These low recoil, accurate loads are perfect for honing your target shooting skills, plinking and even some small-game hunting. I used to compete in PPC shooting where we used .38 Special wadcutters out to 50 yards. But I knew they could do well at 100, and our latest video shows not only how accurate they can be ‘out there’ but ramps up the fun factor even more.” Read more

One of the “10 Commandments” of firearm safety is for shooters to wear eye and ear protection. Yet, many who would never violate any other firearm safety commandment routinely hunt and shoot with nothing to shield their ears. Perhaps they don’t fully understand the permanent risk to hearing each time a gun is fired. More likely, hunters know they need to be able to hear well to hunt effectively. They don’t want anything that diminishes how well they can hear a deer, turkey or other animal approaching.
Pro Ears is the perfect solution. Pro Ears protects hearing while still allowing users to have a normal conservation in the blind or at the range, and Pro Ears even amplifies low decibel sound to give hunters a huge advantage in the field. Pro Ears comes in four series of earmuff style hearing protection, plus a behind-the-ear amplifier with compression and a custom-fit
model worn in the ear. Read more
Sen. Mike Green, R-Mayville, is reintroducing a bill that would end county gun boards responsible for issuing concealed pistol licenses or CPLs. Those responsibilities would instead be handled by county clerks and the Michigan State Police, who would be put in charge of background checks.
“We took out the language referencing the PPO references and basically the whole bill is identical to the one he vetoed, except for the PPO issue,” Green said. Sketchy details here…
