We carry phones with more capabilities than our nation's first rockets that went to the moon. Artificial Intelligence robots can do myriad tasks. Doorbells have cameras that sync with apps to let you know when someone approaches. Vehicles "see" the road ahead for danger and brake, or at least let drivers know something's amiss.  [READ MORE]( [The 6 Best Survival Rifles Under $600]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( Life When you find yourself stranded in a remote stretch of backcountry, any rifle is better than no rifle (assuming you have a box or two of matching ammunition). But if beggars can be choosers, you'd want to bring along the best packable "survival" rifle for your money. You could debate the criteria for what makes a survival rifle a survival rifle all day long, but in my opinion, it's simply a lightweight, reliable firearm that fends off predators and puts meat in the stew pot.  [READ MORE]( [Springfield Armory XD(M) 10mm]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( Magazine If we ignore the constraints of the physical universe, what might be the particular attributes of the ideal defensive handgun? I'd suggest this hypothetical hogleg should project more power than a .357 Magnum while packing 16 rounds onboard. It should have all the bells and whistles and occupy about the same space as your favorite striker-fired 9mm. It should also be unflinchingly reliable without kicking your butt on the range.  [READ MORE](     .  SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT     [Review: Rock River Arms RRAGE]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( & Ammo When Rock River Arms expanded production from their well-respected 1911s to AR-15s before the turn of the century and before the modern black rifle boom, the move didn't garner much attention until one of their rifles was adopted by the Drug Enforcement Administration to replace the agency's aging Colt 9mm submachine guns. Since then, Rock River Arms has remained one of the most successful manufacturers producing AR-15-style rifles in the industry.  [READ MORE]( [Review: Remington Model 700 PCR]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( Times Remington’s Model 700 Precision Chassis Rifle is a complete shooting system that combines the proven Model 700 action with an aluminum chassis, an adjustable buttstock, a detachable magazine, an X-Mark Pro adjustable trigger, and a 24-inch barrel with 5R rifling.

This is primarily because the shooting of a human with a handgun is the initiation of a chaotic event. In other words, predicting a short-term result is at best a 50/50 proposition. Since a scientific study involving human test subjects — shot in high-adrenalin situations — is inconceivable, we're left with attempting to simulate the physical damage and then speculate on the immediate outcome a defensive-handgun bullet might yield.  [READ MORE]( [Gun Review: Ruger SR1911 Officer-Style .45 ACP]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( Digest The Ruger SR1911 Officer-Style .45 ACP Compact pistol is a 21st-century take on the M15 .45 that was produced for general officers in the U.S. military from 1972 to 1981.

BUY IT NOW!! Manufacturer: Springfield Armory Inc. Model: XD(M)® SKU: XDM94510BHCE Caliber: 10mm Capacity: (2) 15 Round Magazines Barrel: 4.5" Steel, Hammer Forged, Melonite® Finish Twist: 1:16" RH Frame: Black Polymer Slide: Forged Steel, Melonite® Finish Grips: Changeable Backstraps Sights: Fiber Optic - Front, Low Profile Combat - Rear Overall Length: 7.7" Weight: 31.2 oz Springfield Armory is pleased to announce a highly anticipated new addition to their polymer pistol lineup, the XD(M) 10mm. This full-size pistol is the latest variation in the series, now chambered in the popular 10mm round for more power in the highly accurate and reliable XD(M) platform. An unprecedented torture test of 10,000 rounds was performed to prove the quality and reliability of this new addition to the XD(M) line, firing 10,000 rounds of Federal Premium® Hydra-Shok® 10mm ammunition through the gun with EVERY round documented on video. No work was done to the pistol, outside of a recoil spring change and adding Lucas® Extreme Duty Gun Oil at 2,000 round intervals. The magazines were left uncleaned and exposed to wind, dust, and grit. The XD(M) 10mm performed flawlessly under these conditions and powered through all 10,000 rounds without a single failure. The XD(M) 10mm has been meticulously engineered to ensure the pistol is as robust and reliable a defensive force as possible. The 4.5" barrel is well-balanced when combined with the full-size grip frame for maximum control-ability and comfort while shooting. Mega-Lock grip texturing, with the option of three interchangeable backstraps, allows for a customized fit that provides a secure and natural feel in the palm of your hand. The Melonite® finished hammer-forged barrel and forged slide allow for a steady diet of full-power 10mm ammo, and the full-length guide rod lessens felt recoil. Holding 15+1 rounds, the XD(M) 10mm tames this potent cartridge for a comfortable shooting experience with each pull of the trigger. This model features a low-profile combat rear sight paired with a fiber optic front sight. The short-reset trigger has a minimal trigger break for repeated rounds on-target, and facilitates accuracy even under potentially life-threatening personal defense situations.
