Primary, Secondary, Tertiary: What’s Your Choice?
Story by GD Crocker for The Firearm Blog
For years, my friends and I have sent what must be thousands of emails to each other about a single issue: If you were going to be displaced or circumstances were altered to a degree that you would have to rely on only three weapons, which do you choose? Ultimately, the parameters of the conversation were constrained to choosing one rifle, one pistol and one shotgun.

Best places to glamp
By Emily H. Bratcher | U.S. News
Are you fond of the great outdoors … minus the mosquitoes, the dirt and the whole sleeping bag situation? If so, you might be more of a "glamper": You want to experience the majesty and tranquility of nature, but you don't want to forgo luxuries like a plush bed and privacy when nature calls. These eight glampsites — found everywhere from Montana to Australia — blend pristine natural beauty with luxurious accommodations ("glamping" combines "glamour" and "camp"). So leave your sleeping bag and your tent at home, and get ready not to rough it in the great outdoors. The photo above is from The Resort at Paws Up in Greenough, Montana and only one example from this story.

WALTHER SSP .22cal MATCH PISTOL by Champ Choice
After reading about the Match Pistol events and seeing the images, I was curious as to what is so different and or special about these firearms, so I did some looking and came across Champ Choice.
Give this a read if you are interested in something truly special but make sure you move your drink away from the computer as you are about to spill it:

Army and Navy Pushed Aside as The Citadel Wins Standard Pistol Title
Tired of seeing the Army and Navy’s rivalry play out during the NRA Intercollegiate Pistol Championships at Ft. Benning, shooters from The Citadel decided it was time to take matters into their own hands.
Standard Pistol (also known as sport pistol) is a .22 LR (Long Rifle) handgun with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Additional requirements including the use of open sights as well as a restrictions on grip design.
Standard Pistol’s individual champion did not come from any of these schools, though. That honor went to Joe Totts of Ohio State University.

By the International Shooting Sport Federation's rules, sport pistols must be in caliber .22 LR, with a minimum capacity of five rounds. Revolvers are allowed, but not at all as popular as in 25 metre center-fire pistol. Minimum trigger weight is 1,000 grams (2.2 lb), and maximum overall weight is 1,400 grams (3.1 lb). The gun may only have open sights, and there are restrictions to the design of the grip.
Common examples of sport pistols are the Benelli MP90S and Benelli MP95E, Walther GSP, the Baikal MCM, Hämmerli 208, Hämmerli 280 and Hämmerli SP20, the Pardini SP, as well as the High Standard .22 Pistol and the Smith & Wesson Model 41. Many of these have also spawned .32-caliber versions for use in the center-fire pistol event. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_pistol
The Walther GSP, Gebrauchs Sport Pistole (Sport Pistol for Standard Use), is a single-action, precision target shooting pistol made in Germany byWalther Sportwaffen. It has the same technical base as the Walther OSP and thus is almost identical in outward appearance, albeit slightly longer and heavier than the OSP.
The GSP was introduced on the world market in 1968 and was chambered for .22 Long Rifle. At the end of 1971, Walther began offering the pistol in.32 S&W Long Wadcutter as well. Regardless of its original caliber, conversion units for the other caliber are available and easily interchangeable. The anatomical, adjustable walnut grips were also available, on order from Walther, for left-handed shooters. In 1988, Walther introduced a fully adjustable (for pull, stop, and angle) two-stage trigger that athletes could retrofit their pistols with.
