The Guns Every Firearms Enthusiast Should Shoot at Least Once

By

Every gun enthusiast has that list of firearms that they would love to take for a spin. Who has not been curious about what it is like to rock and roll with a belt-fed machine gun or the mind-bending bullets-per-minute whine of a Minigun? However, this list focuses on firearms that are more likely to be available to the average gun enthusiast, the one without mountains of cash and years to wait for those NFA stamps to come through. Whether they are cult handguns, like the FN Herstal Five seveN, or more obscure classics like the Remington 51, every gun enthusiast should try to get into these firearms at least once.

FN Herstal

FN Five seveN

The FN Five seveN is a handgun with a sturdy cult following for its unique cartridge. This high-capacity, light, mostly polymer pistol fires the proprietary high-velocity bottleneck 57x28mm cartridge very far, very fast, and very flat. Shooting it is, no pun intended, a blast. For all that velocity, the Five seveN boasts around 30% less recoil than the 9mm Parabellum. Although the report and muzzle flash make it very clear how that recoil reduction is possible

Remington 51

The Remington 51 is an innovative, complex pistol featuring ergonomics that have arguably never been duplicated. The Remington 51 is such an intuitive and comfortable pistol to shoot it was advertised as “self-aiming.” Simply a joy to shoot.

DPMS 308

Nominally a battle rifle, the DPMS 308 is a tack-driver that would excel as a hunting rifle. It has the weight and stability to compensate for the power of the 308 Winchester cartridge. There is something innately satisfying about shooting the long-distance 308 Winchester from a long gun as stable and sturdy as the DPMS 308. Plus, for fans of the AR platform, it will feel just like home.

Kel-Tec CP33

Just one look at the Kel-Tec CP33 is enough to make it clear that this is a unique handgun. Perhaps its most notable feature is the quad-stacked (yes, quadruple) 33-round magazine. Simply having a pistol chambered in 22 LR that allows you to run 33 rounds without a reload makes the CP33 worth it. However, the CP33 is also outfitted with the furniture for a brace, a Picatinny rail up top, and a threaded barrel that comes stock. Outfitted with a brace, red dot, and suppresser, this exotic plinker becomes a dead-on baby brother to a semi-auto MP5.

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
