GUNS Magazine

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- Gun enthusiasts will get an in-depth look at the award-winning new Ruger Scout rifle, four new models of the 1911, plus holiday gift ideas for our troops and more, in the Nov. issue of GUNS Magazine.

Ruger’s .308 M77 Gunsite Scout Rifle was designed to be a “general purpose rifle,” as inspired by Jeff Cooper, who was involved in the development of the “Scout” concept rifle.

This rifle is a serious multitasking tool.

As Holt Bodinson says in the cover article, “Versatility Defined: Ruger’s .308 M77 Gunsite Scout Rifle,” the rifle “demands to be handled and handy it is with its short 16-1/2″hammer-forged barrel and an out-of-the-box overall length of 38-1/2″.”

The Nov. issue brings readers more models of the 1911. In “4 x 1911,” Mike “Duke” Venturino takes a look at four new models: Browning’s 1911-22 made in Utah; the Colt 1911-22, made in Germany, imported by Umarex USA and finished by Colt; the Regent R100, made in Turkey and imported by Umarex USA; and the Cimarron Arms M1911, made in the Philippines.

For those who have friends and loved ones “deployed forward,” John Connor’s “For the Serving Soldier” provides readers with a selection of gear any grunt would be proud to own. Also in the giving spirit, this month’s “Odd Angry Shot: A Card, A Can, A Plan” presents charities and organizations that help our servicemembers and their families, as well as suggestions of what goodies to send.

September GUNS Magazine Reviews The CZ 75 Pistol

FMG Publications

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- The CZ 75 is one of the most popular pistols in the world.

It is used by more military and police agencies worldwide than any other pistol, it is commonly used in competition and is becoming more and more well-known with US competitors.

Aside from its sleek look, which has been copied extensively, it can function as a traditional double-action/single-action pistol.

Writer Dave Anderson says about the CZ 75B gracing the cover of the September issue of GUNS Magazine, “…a pistol which is extremely reliable, durable, accurate, easy to shoot well and fast, needs no further justification. The fact it is gorgeous is just a bonus.”

According to Anderson, the collapse of the Soviet bloc and removal of trade barriers, along with the return of the Czech Republic have made CZ firearms much more affordable.

“How long such prices can be maintained I can’t say, but currently CZ 75 pistols (and CZ firearms in general) are remarkable values,” he said.
