The apparel born of Patagonia’s Lost Arrow Project served with recognition from Kabal to Kandahar and Baghdad to Balad.Whether deployed for firefights, room clearings or intelligence-gathering operations, the clothing proved to be a durable, engineered asset that worked seamlessly to help high-risk missions come to fruition. That’s a hell of a pedigree, one that the company aims to carry on now in a civilian role.Launched earlier this year, the ForgeLine Performance Fieldwear aims to extend high performance to Joes—the everyday…

Ten years ago, if you wanted solar power that actually did something — not a trickle charger for a gate opener, real usable power — you were looking at several thousand dollars minimum, and half of it went to lead-acid batteries that died in five years.That world is gone. Panel prices collapsed, lithium batteries got cheap, and today $1,000 spent right will run a fridge, lights, a freezer, phones, a laptop, and a fan indefinitely, anywhere the sun shines. Spent wrong, that same $1,000 buys a pile of mismatched junk that dies the first winter. This article is the difference…
Who was the most horrible person in all of human history? Some might claim their mother-in-law. I’m personally crazy about mine. However, I’d like to dig a bit deeper than that today. Reinhard Heydrich, tallest man on the right, along with Heinrich Himmler and other Nazi officials. Image: Public Domain Tragically, the competition for that particularly dark superlative is fierce. I would say that human beings are animals, but that unfairly disparages animals. If ever you might have doubted humanity’s innate sin nature, you need look no further than any handy history text. Contenders Certain names naturally percolate to the top.…

In this article, Jeremy Tremp reviews the Samson SAS Tactical Folding Stock for the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker rifle. The Springfield Heatseeker is a phenomenally accurate bolt-action rifle from the factory, so how much can a third party stock like the SAS really do for the gun? That’s something Tremp explores here. The folding stock was provided by Samson Manufacturing for this review. Bolt-action rifles are in a league of their own when it comes to building, modifying and dialing them in for a wide range of uses. An often-overlooked part of this build process by beginners is the…
We are always on the search for realistic training, for the methods to better ourselves and the tools that allow us to do more. Bridging the gap between live fire and the imagination is one of the highest aspirations, and the latest go is from Unit Solutions. Our introduction to this company came during low-light force-on-force training in a shoot house down in Dallas. There we used UNIT4 training rifles that shot marking rounds to rain pain upon our foes — and now they’ve done the same in pistol form with the new UNIT9. BETWEEN WORLDS Historically, the professional standard…

Perhaps it’s a consequence of growing up in a consumerist society, but most of us become in some way conditioned to think that upon encountering any problem, our first and best course of action is to buy something to deal with it. Don’t get me wrong — a high-quality firearm and accessories are absolute musts for effective self-defense. However, they are not the only part of the equation. You have a high-quality Echelon 4.0C pistol topped off with a Vortex Defender-ST red dot sight. Are you ready for EDC? Where the shooting sports are concerned, the market is now filled…

From the archives: RECOIL Magazine Issue 19, July/August 2015Photos by Kenda Lenseigne GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES What’s in the box? Camera equipment, tools, an extravagant lunch for you and that girl you’ve been trying to impress? Certainly nothing about it screams, “Insanely accurate sniper rifle that will quietly shoot the ’nads off a gnat at 800 yards.” Accuracy International has been around for four decades now, representing the last vestiges of a once-thriving gun industry in the country that used to be Great Britain. If you’re not familiar with names like Armstrong, Vickers, Whitworth, and BSA (no, not…
