“sidearm”

The 9mm Luger has a respectable resume, serving many military roles including a stint as the U.S. Armed Forces' chosen cartridge.

What is it about the veteran cartridge that still appeals to shooters to this day, when there are so many more powerful cartridges available, including the Elmer Keith-upgraded .357 Magnum? Philip Massaro has the answer.

Since the cowboy era, it’s been common practice to get a lever-action rifle in the same caliber as your sidearm. The idea was simple: Tote a rifle that shoots your handgun loads, and you’ve just simplified your life. Though the practice isn’t quite necessary today, the tradition of offering lever-action rifles in handgun calibers lives on. One such rifle: Big Horn Armory's Model 89.

The backcountry can be a dangerous place—and it's not easy to always have your rifle within reach. A powerful sidearm can pay dividends, especially if you find yourself on the wrong side of the probability curve and run into trouble. The Kimber Camp Guard has been designed to fill that niche. Here are five things you need to know.

In spite of the numerous developments in handgun cartridge technology over the last century, it seems that the John Browning designed .45 ACP is as valid and as ever, and we'd bet that assessment will be valid in another 100 years.

The Camp Guard is, at its core, the 1911-lover’s backcountry sidearm.
