Compact Model SW1911 Draws Cover Duty for 2010 American Handgunner Annual

The Compact Model Smith & Wesson 1911 is featured on the cover of 2010 American Handgunner Annual Magazine

FMG Publications

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- Despite no shortage of 1911s to be found, Smith & Wesson entered the 1911 game in the early 2000s.

Many questioned why. Armed with this near, decade-long inquiry, FMG Publications took, arguably, the most popular handgun in the history of firearms and put it front and center for its 2010 American Handgunner Special Edition Annual.

Equipped with the latest compact Model SW1911 Pro Series .45 ACP, it was contributing editor John Russo’s job to settle the discussion.

“When I was asked to review the 3″ model SW1911 Pro Series .45 ACP, I expected a typical hard kicking short-barreled .45,” said Russo. “Man, was I wrong. This thing shoots like a dream! Smith & Wesson makes me look forward to being wrong!”

To produce this cover story for the 2010 American Handgunner Annual, Russo drew from his law enforcement and firearms instructor background with one predominant goal in mind.

“My focus was to find out how comfortable this gun is to carry concealed, how easy it is to get into action and then how quickly and accurately it can be shot,” Russo wrote.

Russo goes on to describe the SW1911 Pro Series as a pistol with flare and sees how far he can push the handgun.

Other expert writers meet Russo’s enthusiasm and delve into articles such as: The 9mm 1911: It’s Not Blasphemy; Retro Rugers: The Wait Is Over; Becoming A Gun Writer: It’s a Long Road; The Classic Big Bore: Smith & Wesson’s Big Sixgun’s Return and many more in the 2010 American Handgunner Special Edition Annual.

“The American Handgun Annual allows us to fill the pages with handguns to fit every need,” said editor Sammy Reese. “From handgun classics to fun and cost-effective bullet casting, we have something for everyone. We even get to throw in a few knives for good measure. It’s the go-to guide for all things handguns.”

The 2010 Special Edition American Handgunner Annual also includes this year’s Buyer’s Guide, FMG’s catalog of currently available handguns, rifles, shotguns, knives and lights.

The 2010 Special Edition American Handgunner Annual is on newsstands now, while supplies last. To order online, visit http://fmgstore.stores.yahoo.net/amha20sped.html.

Are Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama Coming For Your Guns via UN Treaty?

Busting Internet Gun Control Rumors

Illinois State Rifle Association

Illinois - -(AmmoLand.com)- Many times a week, ISRA receives the following “important warning”, in this form, or something very similar, sometimes in all caps, large fonts, different colors, you’ve been receiving it too.

Here’s an example:

While you were watching the oil spill, the New York failed terrorist bombing and other critical crises, Hillary Clinton signed the small arms treaty with the UN.

OBAMA FINDS LEGAL WAY AROUND THE 2ND AMENDMENT AND USES IT.
IF THIS PASSES, THERE COULD BE WAR

On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States

On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States . The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg.

Please forward this message to others who may be concerned about the direction in which our country is headed. This is a very serious matter! Silence will lead us to Socialism!!!

So is Hillary coming for your guns?
Like most stories spread on the internet there is some truth to this, some falsehood and some exaggerations.

The talks about the treaty and IANSA exist. That said, we are a sovereign country with our own constitution. Even if the administration signed such a treaty, it has to be ratified by 2/3 of the US Senate, and even if they could ratify it, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that we have an individual constitutionally protected right to own firearms. There has been no signing of any such treaty.

This administration does not have the power to implement such a change in American culture. Look at all the trouble they had passing the health care bill. The resistance to that change would be dwarfed by the people’s resistance if they were looking at a revocation of their second amendment rights.

Still, the threat is being taken seriously. The Second Amendment Foundation has a recently formed International organization that is tracking these, as is the NRA. ISRA works closely with both of these organizations and if there is a credible, immediate threat that requires action, ISRA will be amongst the first to get out the alerts to our friends.

Gunowners must stay organized and informed. Being a member of the ISRA is the best way to achieve that. If you’re not an ISRA member, you can join on-line , or over the phone at 815-635-3198. You can download a printable application form here .
