Firearm Spotlight: The Springfield Hellcat & Hellcat Pro

Firearm Spotlight: The Springfield Hellcat and the Springfield Hellcat Pro

If you’re a gun owner who wants to conceal carry, you may be wondering how to balance high capacity for protection with ease of concealment. Fortunately, Springfield Armory provides an easy solution for you: the Hellcat pistol. This micro pistol provides excellent performance and high capacity, making it a reliable choice for concealed carry. Today, we’re going to take a quick look at the standard Springfield Hellcat, as well as the Springfield Hellcat Pro so you can decide which one is best for you.

About Springfield Armory

Rooted in history, the Springfield Armory comes from a place in history most people are very familiar with: The American Revolution. The original Springfield Armory, built at the command of George Washington in 1777, was created with the goal of storing munitions for the Continental Army. A few years later in 1794, Springfield Armory became a manufacturer where firearms innovation blossomed. When the Reese family took over the armory in 1974, they saved it from becoming an irrelevant part of firearms history. Springfield Armory began producing some of the most reliable handguns and rifles available, such as the XD pistol in 2001 (and all of its variants since), the Hellcat, the SAINT, and the Model 2020 Waypoint rifle. For quality and cutting-edge engineering, Springfield Armory is one of the most popular firearm brands around.

Product Spotlight: The Smith and Wesson M&P 5.7

A New 5.7 Pistol

The 5.7x28mm caliber is relatively new in its popularity, with its creation by FN Herstal only dating back a few decades and its adoption by NATO only occurring last year. However, several manufacturers have started to release models in the caliber, with the Smith and Wesson M&P 5.7 being one of the newest additions to the market. In addition to a sleek design, this new pistol from Smith & Wesson packs a variety of new features that show it’s truly a modern advancement in firearm technology.

About Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson was founded on innovation. In 1852,  Horace Smith and D.B. Wesson made their lifelong dream a reality by developing a firearm that could fire a fully self-contained cartridge, and the innovation didn’t stop there. Today, as a leader in United States firearm manufacturing, Smith and Wesson continues to bring innovation, trust, and dependability to their customers. They pride themselves in their work as they empower American citizens through the protection of freedom, equality, and security. If you want to learn more about the brand, you can do so by visiting our Smith and Wesson brand page.

The Smith and Wesson M&P 5.7

First announced in January of this year and featured at Shot Show 2023, the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 has already become popular among the firearms community. It has a stainless steel slide with 3-dot sights and a cut for optics. This 5.7 has a 5-inch steel barrel which features Smith and Wesson’s new Tempo barrel system, which has a 2-piece rotating barrel with a proprietary gas system that ensures the projectile has exited the barrel before the cam opens and ejects the casing. This allows for the smooth cycling of rounds and reduces the risk of malfunction. 

The M&P 5.7 also has other features that make it appealing. The slide has forward and rear serrations for easy racking and the grip frame also has a Picatinny rail for easy mounting of a flashlight or laser. The gun features an ambidextrous slide stop as well as a magazine release that can be reversed for left-handed shooters. The Smith and Wesson 5.7 pistol also comes with two 22-round magazines and features a crisp flat-faced trigger with a built-in trigger safety. We also have models both with and without a manual thumb safety. You can view both models below:

Locked and Unloaded: Firearm Safety Tips and Gun Locks and Gun Safes

Every gun owner should know the rules of safe gun handling, and learn about firearm safety tips, and options for gun locks and gun safes for sale. These standards apply to guns in use and those stowed away. That’s why it’s important to always stay up-to-date on the latest gun safety tips. 

From gun locks to gun safes, and gun vault solutions, we review some of the best safety techniques for storing your firearms at home.    

Load up on safety 

Some firearms are already equipped with safety features. One of the most basic is a magazine disconnect mechanism, commonly found on semi-automatic pistols. This feature prevents a gun from discharging when the magazine is not correctly attached. 

Another popular design safety feature is a loaded chamber indicator. This is seen on many semi-automatic slide handguns and is used to alert the user that there is a round in the chamber. Though you may not think this happens, a bullet can remain in the chamber even after the magazine is removed.

You can also choose to invest in additional safety locks

  • A trigger lock is a two-piece lock that you place over the trigger guard so that you can’t pull the trigger. 
  • A cable lock has a long cable that you insert through the magazine chamber or gun barrel to prevent a cartridge from being fired. 
  • A padlock, used most commonly on revolvers, prevents the cylinder from closing. 

 

Lock it up

Depending on the size of your firearm, you can purchase anything from our gun safe to gun vault for storing your firearm. The main thing is to find a solution that meets your gun and your home. The most basic safe is a lockbox and is typically used to store a small firearm such as a handgun. The main advantages are that it’s affordable, portable, easy to store, convenient, and reliable. 

A security case is a step up from the lockbox. Its larger, sturdier build provides better anti-theft and gun-finish protection, but it’s still practical and portable. Or, you can invest in a heavy-duty gun vault. They are available in a variety of sizes but are most commonly used for long guns. Despite being less convenient and portable compared to the alternatives above, gun vaults offer more storage capacity, security, and simply look cool to have.  

Be smart with storage 

Buying a gun safe leads to the next question: where to store the safe itself? There are many considerations to keep in mind when finding the ideal place within your home.

1. Avoid fire damage

You need to keep your firearms away from any threat of fires. This means that your safe shouldn’t be located near a fireplace, the kitchen, or even a room above the kitchen since heat rises. Avoid garages as well since they’re home to many fumes and flammable products, including lawnmowers, paint thinners, chemicals, lumber, cars, etc.

2. Avoid water and humidity

Water and humidity could cause damage to your case and your firearm. And it’s important to note that a room’s humidity level will affect the amount of moisture inside the safe. Therefore, avoid garages and basements for they are not usually climate-controlled and are prone to leaks and floods.

3. Avoid burglary

You want to store your safe in a room that’s least likely to be targeted in the event of a break-in. Living rooms, bedrooms, and offices are the most common rooms burglars visit, so it’s best to steer clear of these areas. Garages also attract thieves since they commonly hold valuable items. 

All this means that the best place to store your safe or vault would be in a room or closet on the main floor. Keep it out of harm’s way from a kitchen fire, above the threat of a water leak in the basement, and far away from the high-ticket items found in a house and garage.

Additional Gun Safety Tips

  • Talk and educate children about the dangers of firearms 
  • Don’t underestimate your child’s ability to gain access to a firearm in the house, or even the child’s ability to pull the trigger
  • Always keep ammunition in a separate, locked place from the actual firearm
  • Keep ammunition away from moisture and heat
  • Do not store your gun or ammunition with valuables that are likely to be stolen

And the final, most crucial gun safety tip is to ensure that your firearm is stored, unloaded, uncocked, and in a locked container at all times. Self-defense is important. And in the right hands, guns are effective tools for personal protection. GrabAGun offers a large selection of locks, lockboxes, safes and vaults to keep your guns stored and locked for ultimate safety. 

Deer Hunting: Open Season Tips and Tricks

Some do it for sport. Others for meat. And for many, deer hunting is a family tradition passed down from generation to generation. Whichever the case, deer hunting should be fun and exciting, but most importantly, safe. The first and foremost thing to do is make sure that you’re properly certified and licensed by your state conservation department. Regulations on becoming licensed vary from state to state — so do your research.

Now that we’ve got all the safety talk out of the way, here are some deer hunting tips and tricks to help ensure you have a successful hunt.  

It starts with comfort and confidence

You need to be comfortable and confident with any weapon you use. So, take time to find the right one. If you’re looking to bag a big buck, we suggest using either a rifle or crossbow. All of the options below are worth considering. 

Bolt Action Rifles
Bolt action rifles are the most common in deer hunting. They’re known to be very accurate, reliable, and easy to handle. 

Lever Action Rifles
With heavier bullets, lever action rifles are most effective within 200 yards. In general, they are quick to point, easy to use, and light to carry.

Semi-Automatic Rifles
Newer to deer hunting are semi-automatic rifles. The pros are that they come in various chamberings, have detachable magazines, and their accuracy is better than the common bolt action alternative. 

Compound Bows
When choosing not to pack a gun, more hunters lean toward compound bows when given the choice because they are easier to draw and aim and are typically more powerful.   

Recurve Bows
Recurve bows feature simpler designs but require more skills than compound bows. When choosing a recurve bow, be sure to consider draw weight, bow sight, sound quality, feet-per-second, bow sight, and axel-to-axel length — all while following the minimum requirements provided by the state. 

Practice, practice, and did we mention practice?

Before heading out to the fields, it’s important to practice target shooting. Start with 25 yards, and as you become familiar with your firearm, you can move the target back 100 yards and master that distance. You’ll also want to get comfortable shooting from different positions, whether lying flat on the ground or leaning against a tree. And the same goes for archery — practice shooting your bow from different ranges and positions. 

Increase your invisibility — with caution

Camouflage clothing is standard in the hunting community. From pants to jackets and gloves to hats, most hunters invest in warm, camouflage clothing during the colder deer hunting months. Some will go as far as to paint their faces to cover any shine or glare. And, you can buy scents that mask the human scent and release a smell that attracts deer.  

Hunter safety — and firearm safety — should always be top of mind. As much as you want to appear invisible to your prey, you don’t want to be invisible to fellow hunters. It’s crucial to add some blaze orange in your attire so that other hunters can see you from a distance. And since deer don’t see colors the same way we do, fluorescent orange appears gray or brown to their eyes. That means you can stay hidden while staying safe.

Stay on track 

Every deer hunter should be familiar with deer tracking basics. Here are a few signs to look for when in the great outdoors:

Rubs
When a deer rubs its forehead and antlers against the base of a tree, it leaves a mark — this is a rub. Hunters can use this abrasion to spot areas with high deer populations, a.k.a., ideal hunting grounds. 

Scrapes
Similar to rubs, a scrape is the bare patch of land left behind after a deer paws away the leaves and ground. This is another sign that there are deer in the area.  

Hoofprints
Hoofprints are great for tracking deers’ travel patterns. They can also reveal the size of the buck, whether they’re traveling alone or in a pack, and how long since they’ve been there. 

Droppings
Dropping can help hunters better understand the hunting conditions. The amount can suggest how many deer are in the area, and the freshness can indicate whether the deer are nearby. 

Patience is a virtue

Wait for a shot you know you can make. Usually, you want the deer to stand broadside, which means perpendicular to your weapon. From there, aim behind the front shoulder towards the heart and lungs. You won’t always get this perfect angle, so if the deer is facing away from you, try to shoot through to the opposite shoulder. 

If the deer runs away after being hit, wait 15-30 minutes before following it. This will give the deer time to go down at its own pace. If you chase it right away, the deer will have a surge of adrenaline, and that release of extra hormones can alter that taste of its meat to an unappetizing gamey flavor.

Pack all the necessities and accessories

Along with your weapon of choice, make sure to pack the following items: 

  • A sharp knife and tall rubber gloves for field dressing the deer
  • A flashlight for tracking
  • Your permits and licenses — which vary by state
  • Zip ties, tags, and a pen for tagging your game — which also varies by state
  • Game bags for storing your kills and preventing spoilage (if you’re going to be out for a length of time)

Dove Hunting Tips

hunter, dove hunting, shotgun, hunting season

Dove hunting season has kicked off, and wing shooters are flocking to the fields. Considered one of the simplest forms of hunting — compared to larger games such as moose, elk, caribou, bison, and deer — hunters oftentimes challenge themselves with this fast-moving target to brush up on their shooting skills more than anything else.

However, there is still much preparation involved when hunting doves. From gathering the right accessories and supplies to conducting prior research, there are many dove hunting tips that can help increase your chances of success.

Dove Hunting Firearms

A shotgun is the typical firearm of choice when dove hunting. That’s because pellets are more accurate at hitting these small and fast targets than a single bullet. And in terms of shotgun gauges, 20-, 16-, or 12 gauge shotguns are the most common options for hunting doves. The 12 gauge, frequently referred to as the king of shotguns, is great for versatility and delivering more power. The 20 gauge, another popular choice, has a narrower barrel, making it a more manageable size. Halfway between the two is the 16-gauge, another, less popular, yet effective, alternative.

The next thing to consider is the choke. Chances are you’ll face a variety of shooting conditions, and because the choke allows you to control pattern diameters at given yards by shaping the shot’s spread, you’ll be able to adapt to these different situations. Open chokes, including improved cylinders and skeets, are ideal for close-range shooting of approximately 25 yards. In contrast, tighter chokes are better for longer shots that are required when birds fly further away. Therefore, it’s suggested to pack various chokes to ensure optimal range and accuracy, no matter the distance from which you’re shooting.

The shell type is another consideration. Doves aren’t necessarily tough to bring down, but their speed and unpredictable flight patterns make them a tough target to hit. Most wing hunters opt for No. 7 ½, 8, or 9 shotshells, as they are effective at close range. When shooting from a distance, however, consider upsizing your pellets to 4s, 5s, or 6s.

When deciding which shotgun to use for dove hunting, the choice is ultimately yours. The most important thing is to choose one that best suits your specific needs and preferences. The key is to pattern your shotgun before heading out so that you can find efficient patterns at different ranges.

Dove Hunting Supplies

Decoys can significantly boost the chances of hitting your prey, especially in dove hunting. Since doves always scope out the area before landing, decoys can help catch their attention, encourage them to fly at a closer range, and even instill confidence to land. Position four or five decoys in a given location, whether on the ground or in the trees.

Dove Hunting Accessories

There are many great accessories that can help while you’re in the great outdoors. Camouflage clothing, for instance, can be a game-changer since doves can spot hunters from high vantage points. You can even add camo tape to your shotgun to help hide sudden gun movements and glares.

Polarized shooting glasses can also be useful while hunting. Yellow-tinted/dark lenses will protect your eyes from glare and sunlight, making it easier and safer to shoot in areas with many reflective surfaces. At the same time, binoculars may also come in handy for tracking prey from a distance without startling them.

Understanding Dove Habits

Another way to increase your success rate is to study doves’ flightpath in advance. Identify their roosting areas, water holes, and food fields, and determine the time of day they visit these locations. This information will give you an advantage since you’ll know exactly where to set up decoys, as well as when to expect your prey.
