This week American Rifleman TV looks at the legacy of John M. Browning, the most prolific and innovative early gun designer of what we know as the modern-day firearm, including the Model 1911, widely considered to be the world’s most popular handgun.





For "Rifleman Review" we test the Heckler & Koch SP5K Pistol chambered in 9 mm Luger. 



"I Have This Old Gun" looks at the Winchester Model 1895 .30 Government Lever-Action Rifle. Watch a video preview of tonight's episode.
