Ruger has issued a safety warning and recall notice for its Mark IV Pistols. All Mark IV pistols manufactured prior to June 1, 2017 have the potential to discharge unintentionally if the safety is not utilized correctly.

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.

At its introduction, Ruger’s Mark IV .22 Long Rifle pistol was offered in two models and three SKUs. The Target model, available in black or stainless, is the all-business, utilitarian descendent of Bill Ruger’s Standard model rimfire. But for American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach, it’s the Hunter model that truly captures the spirit of Ruger’s original, and capitalizes on the platform’s evolution.

Every hunter should have a .22 LR handgun. You can shoot small game for the pot, rid the camp of pests and pass the midday doldrums plinking at makeshift targets. The new Smith & Wesson Victory semi-automatic is one of the best guns we've encountered for all these things.

Carry guns can take many forms, but choosing one to wield in the wilderness deserves special considerations.

There’s no question that Glock handguns are among the most popular choices for defensive, law enforcement, and military use throughout the world, and for good reason: they’re extremely reliable, lightweight, relatively inexpensive and generally quite accurate. But why haven’t Glocks been widely embraced by outdoorsmen?

If your idea of fun is sending a lot of rounds downrange in a short period of time, take a look at rimfire pistols.
