It was in 1949 that Sturm, Ruger & Company, Incorporated, more commonly known as Ruger, was founded by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm. Since then, the Connecticut-based arms manufacturer has been recognized as a leader in centerfire and rimfire handguns and rifles, and renowned for their reputation regarding both reliability and durability. It is that reputation that leads the company to produce firearms like the Ruger 10/22. More importantly, it is that very same reputation that allows the company to build on successful firearms like the original 10/22 and produce modernized variations like the new Model 11129, with which they seek to replicate the performance of its predecessors in terms of both quality and popularity.

Since its introduction nearly 50 years ago, the Ruger 10/22 has become, inarguably, America's favorite .22 LR rifle. The semi-automatic, rimfire rifle features a legendary action based on a blowback operation, and is available in a countless number of configurations. And because they are also highly customizable, the platform continues to garner support as time wears on. Not to mention, production has exceeded well over five million units since the platform was introduced.

Today, Ruger offers a wide variety of 10/22 rifles, each of which is housed in a particular line. Among these lines are the "Takedown" line, the "Carbine" line, the "Target" line, the "Compact" line, the "Sporter" line, the "Tactical" line and the "Distributor Exclusives". As noted, the Model 11129 comes to us from the Carbine line, which is marked by its utilization of an 18 1/2 inch barrel. Other features characteristic of the Carbine line include: the Ruger BX-1 magazine, a combination scope base adapter, polymer trigger housings and much, much more. At the heart of this particular model is an alloy steel receiver, but that does not even begin to tell the story of the Ruger 10/22 Model 11129.

As expected, the legendary Ruger 10/22 action is back and housed within a rifle that features an 18 1/2 inch barrel (1:16-inch twist rate) and an overall length of 37 inches. The hammer-forged barrel and alloy steel receiver are nestled into a black synthetic stock. Noteworthy is the satin black finish found on the receiver, which protects the rifle from rust and other corrosion. Like other 10/22s, the Model 11129 is one of the most modular rifles in existence, ready to be tailored specifically to the needs of the lucky individual that purchases it. Other features include an adjustable rear sight alongside a gold bead front sight, an ambidextrous LaserMax® laser on the fore-end that is flanked by dual Picatinny rails, a push-button manual safety and an extended magazine release. As noted, each rifle includes a 10-round Ruger BX-1 magazine with optimally-angled feed lips to provide for reliable feeds every time. All of this is packed into a rifle that weighs just five pounds.

The Smith & Wesson story is an interesting one. It started when Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson's first foray in 1852 saw the manufacture of a lever-action pistol known as the Volcanic pistol for their Volcanic Repeating Arms Company. Four years later, after financial difficulties led the company to come under different ownership, the pair left to begin anew and started work immediately on a new design that would come to be known as the Smith & Wesson Model 1. The rest is history.

Today, over 150 years later, Smith & Wesson is still going strong and shows no signs of slowing down. With that kind of experience, it is not surprising that the company is now at the forefront of the arms industry – responsible for providing high performance firearms to the military, law enforcement and civilian markets. What's more is that they are still consistently producing innovative new firearms like the Smith & Wesson Model 22A.

When it comes to speed, the Smith & Wesson Model houses all fire controls in cleverly placed locations that make swapping magazines and releasing the slide a breeze. The ambidextrous magazine release is located on the front of the grip, making it easily accessible for both left- and right-handed shooters. Moreover, it can be depressed with minimal effort and movement of the shooting hand, which can lead to faster reload times.

As noted, accuracy is also a huge consideration when it comes to competitive shooting. The Smith & Wesson Model 22A is chambered for the .22 LR rimfire cartridge, a cartridge typically used for competitive shooting and target practice. This is due, in part, to the tendency of the cartridge to yield low recoil and high accuracy. Rounding out features that aid in the accuracy of the Model 22A is the full-length sight bridge with an integral Weaver rail, which makes mounting sights and scopes quick and easy.

The Smith & Wesson Model 22A features a four-inch barrel and an overall length of eight inches. With a stainless steel slide and a frame manufactured from aluminum alloy, the Model 22A weighs in at just 28 ounces, well under two pounds and easily handled by shooters of all sizes and skill levels. The pistol utilizes a set of iron sights that consists of a Patridge front sight and a rear sight that is adjustable for both windage and elevation. As mentioned, the full-length sight bridge includes a Weaver rail that makes mounting optics simple. Routine cleaning and maintenance is just as easy with a tool-less, push-button disassembly. As noted, the pistol ships with two 10-round magazines, giving it a "10+1" capacity.

Beretta, also known as Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta, is an Italian arms manufacturer established in 1526, making it the oldest active arms manufacturer today. Also noteworthy, is the fact that the company has remained family-owned since its inception. Beretta is known for its wide range of firearms, which include handguns, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns and much more, each of which find markets with the military, law enforcement and paramilitary agencies and civilians the world over. The company even has an American subsidiary and production facility, Beretta USA, which is stationed just a few miles down the road in Accokeek, Maryland. It is there that the new Beretta 92A1 is manufactured.

Considering Beretta has been around for more than 450 years, it is probably safe to assume that the company produces a fine product. Having said that, I would still like to take this time to discuss what really makes the Beretta 92A1 worth your time.

As suggested by its designation, the Beretta 92A1 is a pistol from the company's "92 Series." The Beretta 92 Series is a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Beretta. Production began way back in 1975 with the Model 92, which has since evolved into over 20 different variants, including the 92A1, which has been designated the M9 by the United States Military. As you may know, the Beretta M9 replaced the M1911A1 in 1985 as the official sidearm of the United States Armed Forces.

The Beretta 92A1, known for its accuracy and reliability, features a 4.9-inch barrel alongside an overall length of 8 1/2 inches. The chrome-lined barrel, designed to resist both rust and corrosion, joins a lightweight, forged aluminum frame to give the pistol a weight of approximately 34.4 ounces unloaded, just over two pounds and easily handled by shooters of all sizes and skill levels. If safety is a concern, shooters will be pleased to learn that the 92A1 also features an ambidextrous external thumb safety that doubles as a decocking lever. This manual safety is joined by several internal safeties, which include both a firing pin block and a rotating firing pin striker that serves to prevent accidental discharges. Other features includes fixed iron sights and an open-slide design, which virtually eliminates jamming and stove piping while allowing shooters to hand load and chamber a cartridge should the magazine be damaged or lost. As noted, the pistol is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge and includes three 17-round magazines.

Consider the Beretta 92A1 for any of the following:

- Personal defense

- Sport shooting

- Target shooting

The Savage Arms Company, originally founded in Utica, New York in 1894 by Arthur Savage, is an American arms designer and manufacturer based in Westfield, Massachusetts. The company also has a rimfire manufacturing division in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada.

As noted, the company was founded in 1894 by Arthur Savage, and within 20 years was producing a range of rifles, handguns and ammunition. Notable for several innovations, the Savage Arms Company is perhaps most famous for developing the Model 99 hammerless lever-action rifle, a major advancement in firearms technology that offered the average person an affordable rifle and remained in production through 1998.

Today, the Savage Arms Company carries a rich heritage and stands alone as the standard for accuracy with the production of a variety of rimfire and centerfire rifles, including the new Stevens 320 Pump shotgun.

Why discuss the Savage Arms Company in a description regarding the Stevens 320 Pump shotgun? Stevens Arms was originally founded in 1864 by Joshua Stevens. Famous for introducing the .22 LR rimfire cartridge and developing a number of successful firearms, Stevens Arms was bought by the Savage Arms Company in 1920, leading to a merger of operations between the two companies. Today, all Stevens firearms are produced by the Savage Arms Company, including the Stevens 320 Pump shotgun.

As noted, the Stevens 320 Pump shotgun is a pump-action security shotgun produced by the Savage Arms Company. This 12-gauge shotgun is rigged with an 18 1/2 inch carbon steel barrel alongside an overall length of 38 1/4 inches, making maneuvering in confined spaces a non-issue. With a three-inch chamber that permits the use of a wide range of ammunition and a standard magazine tube that offers a five-shot capacity, the Stevens 320 Pump shotgun proves to be an ideal choice for personal protection and home defense. These standard features are joined by a lightweight, synthetic stock and fore-end that combine with an alloy receiver for an unbelievably light weight of just 6.85 pounds. Other features include a soft recoil pad, a comfortable pistol grip and a bead front sight for quick and easy target acquisition.

Each British under body armor combat shirt offered by Keepshooting.com is an authentic piece of British military surplus. These combat shirts were originally designed for and issued to members of the British army, one of the three professional uniformed service branches of Her Majesty's armed forces, otherwise known as the British armed forces. Interestingly enough, the British under body armor combat shirt is a current-issue piece of equipment that still sees use with British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Despite being considered military surplus, each British under body armor combat shirt is completely unissued and unused. As such, these brand new combat shirts, many of which were received in their original packaging, remain in excellent condition and are ready to begin a life of service stateside.

As noted, each British under body armor combat shirt is brand new, meaning they are also free from the typical rips, tears, stains and scents that often plague previously issued military surplus equipment. Those looking for a unique piece of British military history, the last piece to a costume or a comfortable combat shirt for official duty are sure to be pleased by the British under body armor combat shirt.

Designed to be worn underneath body armor, the British under body armor combat shirt pairs the revolutionary CoolMax® fabric with poly cotton sleeves that have been treated to reduce their infrared signature. The unique CoolMax® fabric makes up the torso of the shirt, and was designed by DuPont Textiles and Interiors in 1986 as a moisture-wicking fabric that draws moisture away from the skin and improves breathability. As noted, the sleeves include padding at the shoulders, elbows and forearms for increased comfort, and also include spacious Velcro® pockets for pens and other accessories. The combat shirt also includes a zippered neck for easy on-and-off as well as button-adjustable cuffs.

A final noteworthy aspect regarding the British under body armor combat shirt is its use of the British Desert DPM camouflage pattern on the sleeves, a two-color camouflage pattern characterized by a mixture of light sand and medium brown and its use in dry, arid regions.

Each French tactical assault vest offered by Keepshooting.com is an authentic piece of French military surplus. These assault vests were originally designed for and used by members of the armée de terre, otherwise known as the "French army," which represents the largest service branch of the French armed forces.

It is very likely that each of our French tactical assault vests has seen service. Nevertheless, each of these assault vests remains in good condition, ready for continued service however you see fit. Likewise, these vests are free from the typical rips, tears, stains and scents that often plague previously issued military surplus equipment. Those looking for a unique piece of French military history or a vest to use during paintball and airsoft skirmishes will find the French tactical assault vest a worthy option.

Seemingly patterned after the United States' All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment, or ALICE, system, the French assault vest is a load bearing vest designed to offer users a high degree of modularity as it relates to their field gear. This synthetic mesh vest is complemented by padded shoulder straps, and is completely adjustable for compatibility with most users. The vest is secured by dual fast-clip buckles, and is lined with a variety of pouches and attachment points that offer nearly limitless storage options. Perhaps the biggest draw, however, is the inclusion of dual grenade/ammunition pouches flanking both the left and right sides of the vest. These are joined by two large pouches on the back of the vest, which measure approximately 12 inches by nine inches by five inches, and are capable of storing a wide variety of your preferred gear.

The ALICE system is a series of lightweight belts, vests, harnesses, pouches, packs and other modular equipment that was designed in an effort to lighten the load carried by soldiers. The French tactical assault vest seems to be based on this system, primarily in its utilization of a removable ALICE belt with a quick-release buckle. Moreover, the vest is lined with quick-release straps with dual eyelets that seem to be built for ALICE clips, furthering its modularity.

As noted, the French tactical assault vest features a familiar camouflage pattern, the Centre Europe, or CE, pattern. The CE camouflage pattern was adopted in 1991, shortly after France put the Daguet pattern into service. It is a three-color woodland pattern that borrows heavily from the United States' M81 woodland design, but retains the unmistakably French heavy stripe patterns characteristic of earlier French patterns.
