Storied Guns: The M1 Garand
This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. A 1945 M1 Garand from Springfield Armory During World War II, United States combat troops first went ashore, literally, at Guadalcanal carrying the tried and true Springfield Armory 1903. One of the last shots fired in the same war was likely fired from a U.S. Rifle, Cal. 30, M1, more commonly known as the M1 Garand. The familiar name, Garand, is from the inventor John Garand, who spent a 34-year career designing and improving semi-automatic military rifles at the Springfield Armory. By the way, it’s pronounced in such a way as to rhyme with the word “parent” not “Grrr-AND.” According to M1 historian Scott A. Duff, Garand started working on the rifle from…

Carrying for Terrorism
This article originally appeared at Ammoland. By Tom McHale In light of current events, I’ve felt more comfortable carrying a higher capacity 9mm like this Sig Sauer P229 Legion. Tom McHale USA –-(Ammoland.com)- While “Carrying for Terrorism” sounds like a Sally Struthers TV infomercial cause, it’s becoming a legitimate self-defense topic worthy of a rational consideration.

Here are some of the most interesting facts about this unique cartridge. It’s a .357 Magnum for Pistols Projects like cartridge development are always a team effort. In this case, SIG…

REVIEW 7.62x39mm Sig Sauer 556R Rifle
This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. A shooter aims the Sig 556R. The 556R is chambered in 7.62x39mm and utilizes standard AK-pattern magazines. Image by Matt Korovesis. So a Swiss watch maker, a New Hampshirite granite boy, and a Russian small arms designer walk into a bar… Ok maybe that didn’t happen, but it could have given the eclectic roots of the Sig Sauer 556R semi-automatic rifle. While the name “556R” implies AR-type family history, this rifle diverges from the standard direct impingement Stoner rifle. One of the benefits of the piston operation is that you can use a folding stock. A quick tour of the Sig Sauer 556R rifle. First and foremost, it’s a piston operated rifle, so there…
