The Mini-14 & The AR-15: A Comparison
One of my first serious rifles was Ruger's Mini-14 back in the early 1980s. Since receiving it that Christmas morning, the Mini-14 has always held a special place in my heart. Later on in life, I regrettably had to sell that rifle to make ends meet. As it does, time marches on. As a teenager, I spent an entire summer working and saving up for an AR-15. Ever since then, I've been a huge fan of the AR-15 platform. Over the years, and to this day, I hear people debating which one is better and the reasons why they support their stance. I'm sitting on the sidelines with popcorn, saying, "I like 'em both!"
The 30X revives and remixes the 3032 series. At its core, the 30X is still a micro-sized DA/SA gun that uses a tip-up barrel design and a straightforward blowback design. Let's check it out.

Sig Sauer P220 Hunter: A Personal Favorite
Sig Sauer really does make something for everyone, and the P220 Hunter is no exception. The gun has a 5.0-inch, match-grade barrel, so the 10mm chambering produces great ballistics. It has an 8-round capacity, which isn’t ideal but satisfactory. Further, the P220 Hunter is a full-size gun that’s 8.8 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, and 1.5 inches wide. With the right holster and belt combo, it's possible to conceal it. Needless to say, the Sig P220 Hunter does is it all and looks good doing it.
The Ruger 10/22: Still The Most Popular Rimfire Rifle
The Ruger 10/22 is easily one of the most popular rimfire rifles ever produced. Over seven million rifles have been produced since its release, which is astounding. It may not have the highest production numbers of any firearm, but it's pretty far up there. And considering it was introduced in 1964, the fact that its popularity hasn't waned in 60 years is saying quite a bit.
Holosun 512C: 5,000 Rounds Later
After withstanding more than 5,000 rounds on my AR, the Holosun 512C is still running strong. It's taken a beating, but with its new home atop my PSA JAKL, I'm confident it'll keep running for years to come. Let's check it out.
Remington 870 Shotgun: A Gut-Punching Classic
For me, being able to operate the Remington 870 in the dark and reflexively is a huge part of the equation that I happen to love. It's like an old friend, which I find reassuring.
The Ruger Mini-14: Is It A Good SHTF Rifle?
The Ruger Mini-14 is not a sniper rifle, nor was it ever intended to even come close to being one. As the name implies, it's intended for ranchers and farmers to defend their livestock from predators. Or for people to defend against two-legged attackers anywhere. Police and Corrections have also used the Mini-14 over the decades to good effect. The number of these rifles that have been produced tells us that a lot of people use them and that they are popular.
