NEW from Springfield Armory comes a full lineup of Aimpoint COA-equipped pistols, starting with the Echelon! First released a little over a year ago, the Aimpoint COA has been impossible to get for many months since Glock held a 1-year exclusive on the optic and then cut sales to civilians to focus on “MIL/LE” orders (Just another reminder that Glock believes American civilans are actually second-class). Lucky for us, that exclusive deal has ended and that has opened the door for Springfield Armory to give the people what they want — great pistols paired with great optics. Springfield offers a…
Looking for a backpack loaded with tactical features but without the tactical look? That’s exactly what 5.11’s LVC12 offers.We’ve all seen the gray man memes online.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the new developments in self-defense technology these days. Options that represent cutting-edge features one day quickly become “standard equipment” the next. Take handgun-mounted optics. Not that long ago, having a red dot atop your pistol put you in some very rarefied air. However, pistols like the Hellcat and Hellcat Pro helped normalize the use of optics on defensive pistols to the point where it is downright common these days. A purpose-built pairing of two of some of the most trusted names in the firearms world. The Springfield Echelon with the Aimpoint COA represents…

In order to load, unload and verify the condition of your Springfield Hellcat (or any other semi-automatic handgun), you have to be able to rack the slide. But what about those who aren’t strong enough to do that? Isn’t it impossible if your hands are too weak? I’m going to throw out a bit of a radical notion here: We always hear it’s a strength issue, but I think it has more to do with a little bit of uncertainty matched up with poor technique. Can you run your gun effectively? If not, want to learn a trick to master it?…

Despite around-the-clock bombing by British and American heavy bombers, the Germans during World War II produced an ever-increasing volume of advanced military materiel right up until the end of the war. Even though they had terribly limited resources and were being squeezed on all sides, they still managed to field the first true assault rifle, genre-defining attack submarines, and surface-to-surface missile systems that the rest of the world would take a generation to best. However, what they really excelled at was jet airplanes. The Arado Ar234 Blitz bomber was supposed to turn the tide of the war for the Nazis.…
