Legal ownership rose. The study found *little crime link*
A new Canadian preprint links direct RCMP ownership measures with deaths and crime. Its restrained finding deserves a careful read.
Opinion
Holdover opinion pieces on firearms policy, ownership, gear, culture, and the Canadian debate around lawful shooters.
Precision
Four barrel makers, four *cleaning clocks*
PROOF, Bartlein, Krieger, and Criterion publish different barrel-cleaning intervals. Their shared method is the useful part.
Precision
A Canadian shooter gave 1:12 an *honest job*
A 17-pound .223 trainer, cheap 55-grain ammunition, and a 1:12 barrel make sense together when position work is the declared job.
Advocacy
Ontario's mini-rifle calendar has a *handgun gate*
Ontario has current IPSC mini-rifle matches. Its public newcomer route still begins with a handgun-specific Black Badge course.
Precision
How you split 15 rounds changes the *answer*
A 2026 ammunition study found that three five-shot groups gave a less biased precision estimate than five three-shot groups using the same 15 rounds.
Gear
PSA 570 launches Friday. *Canada* gets a different clock
The PSA 570 launches in the United States on Friday. Canadian buyers still need an exact classification, exporter, importer, carrier, and written quote.
Gear
*1,400 yards* looks good on a rangefinder box
A first rangefinder should be chosen from its target-specific reach and the correction workflow it replaces. Current prices make the solver decision less obvious.
Gear
A .308 in boreal cover starts at *2x*
For a .308 used mainly inside 300 metres, low-end field of view, reticle visibility, and mounting fit deserve the first look.
Advocacy
One receiver, three rows, and a *30-day clock*
Federal records track calibre and can hold multiple configurations. Section 4 gives permanent and continuing temporary changes different clocks.
Advocacy
In Quebec, the licensed-owner count crossed *500,000*
The RCMP's 2025 report puts Quebec at 502,111 adult PAL holders, 20.4% of Canada's total. The historical tables make the milestone more precise.
Advocacy
An Olympic handgun exemption measured in *57 transfers*
Three current owner reports signal that Canada's Olympic handgun exemption remains active. Public Safety's last specific snapshot counted 57 transfers since 2022.
Precision
Ontario's 1,000-yard line runs on a *military calendar*
A current Ontario shooter asks what rifle reaches 1,000 yards. The harder limit is the small number of civilian dates available on CFB Borden's ranges.
