Reader Comments of the Week
“Without the forward assist S.P.O.R.T.S would just be S.P.O.R.S. Point being, if the shtf and your rifle doesn’t fire when you pull the trigger, anything that might work quickly to get you back in the game is a plus.”
– RICHARD, in response to Facts and Opinions: AR-15 Forward Assist Edition
“The Walther PPQ M1 is an excellent pistol, and I love the magazine paddle release, which allows me to maintain my strong-hand grip when dropping a spent magazine and reaching for a full magazine. The gun has a very ergonomic design and is easy to shoot accurately, due in no small part to its superb trigger. While I find it a bit too big for concealed carry, as I do all double stack pistols, I’m sure many people do not. Walther makes some fine guns and it seems, I hope, they are getting more well-deserved attention for their striker-fired guns over the last few years; may that trend continue. (And, no, I don’t work for Walther in any capacity, I just appreciate quality.)”
– INNOCENTBYSTANDER, in response to Review: Walther PPQ 9mm Handgun
“Liked reading this article. There are so many great cartridges that are forgotten in the quest for the newest wiz bang, think you could have at lest a dozen more to add to your list. With modern ammo and rifles, the cartridges mentioned are more than a match for almost anything most hunters would want to shoot. Only wish that the 30/30 was on the list. Think what could be done with the current powders and bullets.”
– GRUMPY 49, in response to 5 Most Underrated Rifle Calibers
