USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals
 After a one-year hiatus, the United States Practical Shooting Association’s Multi-Gun Nationals is back in action in a new South Carolina venue. The location is the Clinton House Plantation’s shooting bays and two-thousand-acre hunting preserve. The most demanding competition in terms of equipment has to be Multi-Gun. Pistol, rifle, and shotgun; three platforms, three calibers, all have to run, because malfunctions are not competitive. Equally as demanding is the physical aspect of the sport. To find room to test all three of these platforms, typically means competitors are going to have to do a significant amount of running. It’s all part of the challenge at the USPSA’s Multi-Gun Nationals.
 Of all the divisions at this USPSA Nationals, the two most populated are the Tac-Optics and the Open Divisions. While there are differences in equipment in all three platforms, the big one is that the Open Division rifles are allowed support devices, bi-pods, tri pods and support bags; like we see in PRS competition. On the long shots this gear makes a big difference. Add in some natural terrain and run-and-gun takes on a whole different meaning. When compared to any of the other disciplines of USPSA competition, Multi-Gun courses of fire are the most physically demanding.

History’s Guns - Coach Gun
 Riding shotgun. It’s a term we all know. And for a lot of us, it harkens back to the dusty trails of the old west, when the Overland Stage was protected by the man riding next to the driver, armed and ready for ambush with his scatter-gun. But by then, the idea of riding shotgun wasn’t new. In fact, for 150 years, coachmen traveling the lawless highways of Europe had already proven the effectiveness of a short-barreled gun with buckshot and ball. The Early Coach Gun is now one of History’s Guns.

Girsan MCP-35 Review
 EAA intends to make the high power platform more attainable at least from a financial standpoint, with the MCP-35 in 9mm. Manufactured in Turkey and imported by EAA, The Upper and lower are 4140 steel and Cerakoted. The overall length is just over seven-and-three-quarter-inches. The barrel is just over four-and-a-half-inches. The magazine capacity is 15. Unloaded weight is just over two pounds. The rear sight is fixed, and both rear and front have white highlights. The trigger is smooth faced with a long fulcrum pull, that will likely improve with use. There is an ambidextrous thumb safety and a magazine safety. Shooting the Girsan MCP35 is a straightforward affair. The two pounds of Turkish steel mitigate the felt recoil nicely, and accuracy is better than expected. There is a lot to like about a High Power clone that doesn’t break the bank, The Girsan. MCP 35 is just over $550.
