As we meander toward the end of 2021, it’s worthwhile casting a glance over our shoulder to check on what’s happened this year and to see what’s coming up from behind to shove us onto the sidewalk. President Potato campaigned on a platform to repeal

NERO 556 MSRP: $179 URL: walkerdr.com A muzzle brake might be a small device that goes on the end of your barrel, but it can have a big effect on reducing your muzzle flip. This means you can get your sights back on target faster and, in turn, get mo

$115-125 Originally designed for officers working plainclothes duty at high-threat events, the Forthright™ slingbag can pack a large amount of firepower in a low-optic chassis. Short barrel rifles and magazines can be fastened to the internal MOLLE s

Camp Blanding was constructed on 30,000 acres of pine forest near the city of Starke, Florida, as a Florida National Guard training site. It was first activated in 1939 and, in 1940, as the war threat grew, it was taken over by the federal government

Traditionally, the term “toy-hauler” refers to a fifth-wheel trailer with a loading ramp and enough interior space for motorcycles, ATVs, or UTVs. It’s a convenient way to travel to the lake, sand dunes, or mountains — when you arrive at your destina

To some, karambits are a fantasy fad knife relegated to mall ninjas and martial arts gurus who’ve never seen real combat, but to others they represent the ultimate tactical blade and don’t require as much training as is suggested. Like most jects, th

Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves and do things yourself. If you had to assemble one rifle to cover all your intermediate to long-range needs, what would it be? If you asked this question to 100 gun nuts, you’d probably come away with

Holosun recently launched their new next-generation rifle red dot, the Advanced Enclosed Micro Sight, or AEMS. We were able to get our hands on one ahead of time and have spent the last couple months shaking it out. The punchline is that this is a ve

It’s hard not to enjoy the iconic American cartridge, the rimfire 22 Long Rifle. Whether it’s for plinking, training, or, in this case, stretching its legs — it’s affordable fun for all ages. If you’ve been watching the precision rifle competition ci

It might seem that weapon-mounted lights are a relatively new phenomenon, but that simply isn’t true. There are examples of oil lamps attached to guns from the late 17th century for hunting at night. The lightbulb was famously invented patented in 18

While the BATFE figures out new ways to infringe upon our fun, the RECOIL team was having an idle discussion about their continued flip-flopping on pistol braces. Yours truly quipped that, if braces do ever go the way of the bumpstock, pinned and wel

Suppressors, often called silencers (don’t listen to idiots on the internet — both terms are correct), are a fantastic firearm accessory and can make shooting a significantly more enjoyable experience. Manufacturers have improved silencer technology

Nothing breeds desire like lack of availability. And while Browning Hi-Power production officially ended in 2018, the reality is that it had been years since any metal had been cut. Every few decades or so from the inception of the BHP, we see a resu

Dianna Muller is the head of the DC Project, a 2A advocacy group, as well as her Ambassador Academy, which teaches effective and professional communication. An LEO for over two decades, Muller holds championship titles across multiple shooting discip

The long-range shooting market has never been bigger. More rifles, optics, cartridges, and projectiles exist for this task than we’ve ever had. And as I’ve said before, we may be living in the Golden Age of factory ammunition. It’s better than it has

There are a lot of folks who mistakenly believe that the shotgun is a weapon particularly suited to the novice or unskilled shooter. You’ve probably frequently heard things like “just pump it and you’ll scare the bad guy away” or “you don’t need to a

As soon as an AR-15 enters a safe, those low light conditions result in a strange, but well-documented phenomenon; like an amoeba, the rifle buds and reproduces, spawning new versions of itself. At least that’s what we tell our significant other, but

When it comes to politics and guns, we often hear different arguments why a government should or shouldn’t infringe upon the human rights of its citizens, but we rarely hear about what comes of those arguments. As a result, the deadlock of American p

The 1886/93 Lebel is perhaps the most important modern rifle most people know very little about. If a rifle could arguably be named as the one that won World War I, the 86/93 Lebel would be a lead contender. The Lebel was also the first issued rifle

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a cigar brand come across the Vets Vices desk, which is a shame since we love a good stogie. Enter Echelon Cigars. Former U.S. Army squad mates Nolan Meadnis and Allen Gonzales each came to cigars in their own way.
