The FN Herstal Family: Excellence Worth Experiencing

By
There is no question that giants of the firearms industry like Glock, Smith and Wesson, Heckler and Koch, and Ruger produce fantastic guns. However, when it comes to consistently high-quality and industry-changing innovation, there is a manufacturer that can’t be overlooked—Fabrique Nationale Herstal. For more than 130 years, FN Herstal has been producing some of the most iconic firearms ever while managing to accomplish the rare and impressive feat of merging innovative concepts with effective function. Anyone in the market for an excellent gun would be well-served to keep FN Herstal in mind.

FN Herstal

Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power was the final contribution of one of the greatest gun designers of the 19th and 20th centuries, John Moses Browning. The Browning Hi-Power proved to be as pioneering as so many of his creations. Today, the high-capacity 9mm handgun is one of the most popular military, police, and civilian handgun platforms. John Browning (and Dieudonné Saive) created the Browning Hi-Power, the godparent of high-capacity handguns, over 80 years ago. Its 13-round magazine capacity doubled the standard pistol capacity of the era. The Browning Hi-Power runs so reliably that it has been used as a military sidearm for 85 years, continuing to this day. FN Herstal, as the parent company of Browning, contributed to that legacy.

FN Five seveN and PS90

FN Herstal is perhaps best known in recent years as the creators of the incredibly innovative, proprietary 57x28mm (57) cartridge. Developed at the request of NATO, the 57 is a high-velocity, small-caliber, bottlenecked cartridge that offers greater range and accuracy than the traditional 9mm Parabellum. Military and law enforcement versions of the cartridge were famously designed to defeat body armor, though the civilian ammunition does not. This unique ammunition is fired from either the FN PS90 carbine or the FN Five seveN handgun. The high-capacity magazines and the straight, flat, and accurate performance of FN Herstal’s 57-chambered handguns make them a dream-come-true at the range.

Winchester Model 70

What the Browning Hi-Power and the FN Five seveN and FN PS90 did for law enforcement, military, and civilian uses, the Winchester Model 70 did for hunting. There is no higher praise for a firearm in the American sporting and shooting than that given to the Winchester Model 70 as “the Rifleman’s Rifle.” Shooting Times named it the “Bolt-Action Rifle of the Century.” The Winchester Model 70 is widely regarded as simply the best hunting rifle that has ever been made. It has been chambered for dozens of cartridges, from the 22 Hornet to the 458 Winchester Magnum. FN Herstal recognized that there is simply no substitute for dependability, sturdiness, and accuracy of the Winchester Model 70 and continues to produce them for the shooters and hunters who trust them.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

When you are headed to the range, there are some pieces of tactical gear you will want to bring with you. They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand.

Here is everything you should bring to your next range outing.  A Holster for Your Handgun If you are still keeping all of your guns on a table at the range, you are losing time.

How to Fly with Your Firearms

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
