While I won’t just throw away a set of antlers, there are better ways to use them than as props in your garage. As the current pile at my…
Taurus USA recently unveiled the new Taurus 58, a .380 ACP, hammer-fired, semi-automatic pistol built on an aluminum frame based on the iconic Beretta Model 84 Cheetah design.
