We seem to inhabit a clown world where even the most innocuous act is deemed racist. Tom Brady leading the Bucs to Super Bowl victory during Black History Month? Racist. Math? Racist. The great outdoors? Yup, you guessed it. In a world where everythi

The CONTRACTOR AF™ pants lo-vis pocketing and hi-action patterning provide all the black gun needs of a seasoned vet. They are built from a 14oz stretch cotton/spandex material with a DuPont Teflon® coating. Internal thigh cargos, articulated knees,

Anyone who has owned a classic car or truck knows that they come with some trade-offs. On the plus side, they tend to be astonishingly simple, at least by modern standards. Instead of a digital engine control module with tendrils woven into the ignit

From the start of this column, we’ve always strived to bring you a lineup of knives following a common theme. With 1:1 photos, the reader gets a great overview of a family of knives from different makers aligned with all their specs as well as their

FN USA went out of their way to craft a long slide pistol designed to crush it in practical pistol competition — a total gamer gun. Then, they went and sent us a test sample, and the first thing we did was stuff it down our pants. Wait, that probably

The Pink Pistols is a nationwide LGBTQ Gun Rights organization with over 45 chapters and more than 10,000 members. They’re dedicated to the legal, safe, and responsible use of firearms for self-defense of the sexual-minority community. The gun rights

There are very few activities that can bring you a thrill as well as peace, bring a mental challenge while also calming the mind, and have the ability to lift your body thousands of feet in the air with little effort. Paragliding is one of the most a

The best part of grocery shopping as a kid was veering down the cereal aisle. Endless options of chocolate, marshmallow, fruitiness, and, of course, diabeetus. The main selling point isn’t the tooth decay or insulin shots, but that coveted prize at t

As I finish up the copy for this article, painstakingly written in longhand for my typesetter to lay out on the Linotype machine, I’m contemplating hitching up the old horse and buggy to take a trip down to the telegraph office to let my team know of

In the United States, silencers are somewhat special even among NFA items. It’s a consumable item that’ll eventually be worn out with enough use. And even if that silencer is kept in good condition, it still degrades in relative performance as newer,

It’s no surprise that many gun owners are also interested in off-roading. Beside the obvious shared interest in ingenious mechanical marvels, the ability to confidently traverse the untamed wilderness has great appeal to those who value self-reliance

Thanks to Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, many have heard the phrase: “All Gun Control is Racist.” But is he right? In short, pretty much — however, you can add a splash of nepotism and a whole lotta classism into those laws as well. Outrigh

When CBS announced it was debuting a new military show in September of 2017, the firearms world, for the most part, yawned. Conditioned to low expectations through previous iterations of Hollywood dreck, the first season flew under the radar of most,

Early on September 5, 1972, a group of Palestinian terrorists stormed the Olympic village, killing two Israeli athletes and taking nine hostages. This group, known as Black Sep-tember, demanded the release of 230 Arab prisoners and two German terrori

One of the reasons we love running the Veteran Vices column is that we’re suckers for a good story. Every Vices brand is a direct reflection of a military or first-responder veteran spending their blood, sweat, and tears to bring something good to a

Living and working in the desert of the American southwest means that eyewear is an essential part of my EDC. It also means I get to try out products from just about every manufacturer out there, ranging from Chinese gas station aviator knockoffs to

Lasers are all around us, especially those in uniforms. Their uses range from simple laser pointers used to identify targets to rangefinding devices used everyday. Their prevalence continues to grow, and with it the need to protect the eyes of warfig

Coming up with fresh ideas to protect servicemembers and first responders is hard, turning them into practical products is harder. Few companies do both, and fewer do it well, yet Revision sits in a coveted position at the nexus of national defense l

It was 4:33 in the afternoon, in the middle of January 2017, and Greg Johnson was pretty sure he’d just gone blind. Johnson, who had retired as a U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer in 2010, was working as a government civil servant. He had

Resolute Bay, Nunavut, is far from a tourist town. The Inuit hamlet in the high Canadian Arctic has an average yearly temperature of 4 degrees. In the winter months, a reading of-30 surprises nobody. Wind chills bring it down to-70. “It’s very hard t
