Showing classic aK-47 lines, the Romanian WaSR-10 shot very well for us, with no problems at all. We thought the laminated stock was attractive and strong, and though laminated stocks are typically heavy, this rifle actually weighed a bit less than the folding-stock version.

Here’s the AK-47 with folding stock and 30-round magazine — the way much of the world loves this rifle. On the other hand, many shooters think it’s a cheaply made, inaccurate rattletrap. The truth is out there.
Here you can see the famous dimples just above the 10-round magazine. We preferred the finger-groove-type pistol grip on this one, but both types worked very well and felt just fine. There was a huge difference in the length of the action cover, which surprised us. This rifle had the same trigger group as the other, but not quite as light a pull.
For some unknown reason there were two notches in the bottom rim of the muzzle brake. Neither let it be installed perfectly straight on the muzzle. The arrow points to a sprung plunger that engages the notch to keep the brake from unscrewing. Both rifles had this type setup.
That red thing is a slip-on plastic piece covering the charging handle, which makes sense in cold climates. We liked the bottom contour of this rifle’s forend wood much more than the bulging bottom commonly seen on these rifles. Workmanship was excellent on this Yugoslav AK, better than on the Romanian one.
The hammer (left side) has been eased down by the fingers to gain access to the bottom of the action. Both rifles had the same trigger group, which we liked very much.
At Gun Tests, our shooters have had no problems with the P320 in terms of reliability and had no malfunctions with it. We gave it a Grade B rating in our first report on it in 2015. Many of our readers have told us they won’t buy ‘B’-rated guns, especially when there was another handgun in the test — a Heckler & Koch VP9 9mm Luger — which earned a Grade A rating and was Our Pick.

I want to thank you for publishing the article on automatic powder dispensers. Although I think you may catch some flack for those who think Gun Tests should just test guns, and maybe ammo, I find that articles such as these are very helpful and informative for those of us who pursue reloading, gunsmithing or other peripheral “hobbies.” Read More

Sergeant Parkerson posted on the Nextdoor.com app, "Burglary of Motor Vehicle suspects were recently caught breaking into vehicles in what they considered to be an upper-scale apartment complex. Their objective was to locate and steal guns from vehicles they identified on the property. Their method for choosing which vehicles they would break into was to simply locate any vehicle on the property that had some form of Law Enforcement, Fire Department, or Military-style decal on it. From their experience, they [the suspects] have learned that these vehicles would have a higher probability of having a weapon in it that they could then steal." More
From the standpoint of gunowners' rights, will Judge Kavanaugh be "fer us or agin’ us" if he's elevated to the Supreme Court? Or, said another way, will he be a "good guy on guns” or just a so-so one? "Right now, nobody knows for sure how a 'Justice Kavanaugh' might rule on gunowner rights at the SCOTUS level," said Gun Tests Editor Todd Woodard. "But the tea leaves, the entrails, the penumbras suggest he strongly leans our way." More
