Winchester Copper Impact Lead-Free Big Game Ammo: New for 2022

The Winchester Copper Impact ammunition line kicks Copper Impact Deer Season XP up a notch with great expansion and additional penetration for Western big game hunting.

January 31, 2022 By Guns & Ammo Staff

Winchester Copper Impact ammunition combines our extensive experience into a product specifically for hunters. The Copper Extreme Point bullet is a solid copper-expanding projectile with an oversized impact diameter. A bigger impact diameter means more impact trauma better energy transfer and larger wound cavities for faster knockdown.

Improving The Draw: IWB & Closed-Front Garments

Demonstrating with a C&G Holsters GEN6 IWB inside-the-waistband holster, Joe Kurtenbach discusses how to draw with a closed front garment. Whether carrying in the appendix position or behind the hip, the key is to fully clear the cover garment to provide unobstructed access to the grip of the gun.

Improving The Draw: AIWB Accuracy

When shooters struggle to clear the garment for an appendix-inside-the-waistband (AIWB) draw, it's usually because they can't get the right grip. Using a GEN6 IWB Alpha rig from C&G Holsters to demonstrate, Joe Kurtenbach suggests using a natural reference point like the navel for gripping the cover garment.

Improving The Draw: One-Hand Operations

For any number of reasons, an armed defender may not be able to use both hands for drawing the gun or performing a reload. Appendix-carry IWB holsters like the GEN6 MOD1 from C&G Holsters help simplify these operations by positioning both the gun and extra ammo in a central, front-of-the-body location that is accessible by either hand. Here, Joe Kurtenbach offers considerations for one-handed performance.

Canik TTI Combat: Full Review

Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) and Turkish firearm maker Canik have joined forces to produce a fully-featured, competition-ready 9mm pistol. The compensated handgun shoots flat and will accommodate a variety of popular slide-mounted red dots thanks to its deep optic cut. The controls are all ambidextrous, and the sub-4-pound trigger is one of the best in the industry. Even with all its bells and whistles, the most surprising aspect of the Canik TTI Combat may be its price. Guns & Ammo's Joe Kurtenbach has the full review.

Winchester Ranger Returns! Now In .22

If Winchester is known for one thing in firearms, it's lever guns. Both the historic examples and modern renditions are held in high regard, and the centerfire models can command a premium price due to desirability. New for 2024, Winchester is lowering the barrier to entry and raising the fun factor with the return of the Ranger. Now, though, the iconic lever action is chambered for .22 Long Rifle. What's more fun than a rimfire rifle? Probably nothing, that's why Winchester has invested in the recent Wildcat semiauto, Xpert bolt action, and now the Range, all in .22. Eric Poole and Winchester's Rafe Neilson discuss the latest lever addition.

Aero Precision is a go-to source for rifle-building components including receivers, handguards, and all the necessaries. New this year is the M4E1 Pro kit, which offers ambidextrous controls: bolt catch/release, radial selector, and even the magazine release. Besides being lefty friendly, the M4E1 Pro also sports the new overbuilt Mod4 handguard designed specifically for professional users and shooters that are just plain hard on their gear. Stepping away from rifle parts, the company is also expanding its suppressor offerings with the new Tephra-22 rimfire can. Finally, the company is teasing the most talked about firearm at SHOT Show 2024: The Aero Precision Lever Action. Kirk Foreman of Aero Precision joins Eric Poole to talk shop from the show floor.
