The Brief: In June 2026, a Clovis, New Mexico resident fatally shot Abel Abeyta after Abeyta drove an SUV into their home late at night. Responding officers found significant structural damage and the driver with multiple gunshot wounds. Abeyta later died at a specialized trauma center from his injuries. The District Attorney declined to file criminal charges, concluding the shooting was a lawful act of self-defense. Surveillance footage confirmed the vehicular breach, and New Mexico law requires the state to disprove self-defense claims. Prosecutors determined they could not overcome this legal burden at trial. CLOVIS, NM — A late-night vehicular…
The first thing that stood out when I got the KAER safe into position wasn’t any single feature — it was the balance of it. I like it. It’s not too heavy nor too big.

You pour a lot of time into choosing the right gun safe, and then there’s the preliminary process of securing it to the floor. It’s something you can overlook at first, but your safe is a lot more than just metal and screws. It is…

When I was a teenager, the misconception I had about professional racing was that the trophy would go to the most powerful car, or perhaps the most aggressive driver. It was in the mid-90s that a number of racing games hit the market that tried to simulate the physics and details of motorsports as closely as possible, from real-world courses to tire wear to allowing modification of a car’s suspension characteristics. Years before I obtained my driver’s license, those racing simulations taught me a great deal about what it meant to have a “fast” lap time. Can slowing down during…

We take a look at some very high-end, expensive European revolvers from companies like Korth, Manurhin and Spohr.There was a time here in the States when most firearms underwent substantial hand-fitting by artisans skilled in the gunsmithing trade. The quality of many of these guns was even unsurpassed by some of today’s standards. Over time, however, advances in machining processes negated the need for substantial man-hours to turn out good products in some cases.That’s a good thing, but, unfortunately, something was lost along the way.I won’t pretend to be a business expert, but it seems as though today’s bottom-line profits…

In today’s review, Robert A. Sadowski tests the Armasight Thermal Contractor Pro 640 3-12x scope on a feral hog hunt. He mounted the optic to a Springfield Armory SAINT Victor to evaluate the thermal scope’s usefulness for hunting. The optic was provided to the author for the review. Feral hogs are tough. Their bodies are compact and designed to take tusks in their sides from rivals who have a different opinion. Their sense of smell and hearing are great, which makes up for their eyesight. Sometimes they look at you, blinking their eyes like need a need eye glass prescription.…
