This article originally appeared at Ammoland. When I got into this whole shooting thing, I frequently read mentions of things called “kit guns” in the established gun magazines. Usually in articles written by guys older than me (and that’s saying something) the term “kit gun” referred to a small, portable, light revolver that was suitable […]

Review: Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 Performance Center Rifle
“Breathtaking. I shall call him… Mini-Me.” Dr. Evil, The Spy Who Shagged Me While the dimensions of the Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Performance Center rifle are not ⅛ the size of a “real” AR-15 type rifle, you can think of this gun as a “Mini-me” to a 5.56mm / .223 Remington AR-15, at least in […]
Smith & Wesson’s Transforming Victory .22 Pistol
I never saw the 2007 film, Transformers. I think it had something to do with Megan Fox reconfiguring a 1975 AMC Pacer into a Flowbee vacuum hair cutting system using nothing but toenail clippers and a half stick of Wrigley’s DoubleMint gum.

22 AR-15 Conversion Kits: Myth or Maxim?
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to reject, at least temporarily, internet hearsay. You know what Abraham Lincoln said about the internet, right? “Four score of lies, myths, exaggerations and urban legends.” That’s a long way of saying lots of folks read something and then pass it on as the gospel truth. Knowing that […]
