Joe Mantegna may be best-known in Hollywood for starring in everything from “Godfather Part lll” to “Criminal Minds,” but even before he was a big shot on the silver screen the 66-year-old was competing in both pistol and shotgun competitions.

The devout firearms enthusiast is now loading up for his fourth season hosting the Outdoor Channel’s “MidwayUSA’s Gun Stories,” which takes viewers through gun history – exploring classics like the Mauser bolt-action to top-notch firearms like the Adaptive Combat Rifle.

Oops! Another little Indian off the Hollywood reservation. Too bad they always wait until they’re rich enough to rebel.

I knew Joey pretty well in Chicago in the mid-70s when we were both doing theater in Chicago, but I had no idea of this side of him. That only became evident in recent years when he’s “come out” as an Independent Conservative.Interesting guy who sometimes addressed his wife as “light of my life”.

He’s a Mamet guy. His explanation of how to spot a tell in HOUSE OF GAMES is classic.

I recently exercised my 2nd Amendment rights and bought this:



Remington 1911 R1. Never had a gun feel so right in my hand, and love the way it shoots.

Curious to know if you've looked at any other 1911's before buying the Remington?

I've been eyeballing the Colt, S&W and Remington 1911's ... need something to nudge me one way or another between the three.
