A fast and smooth revolver reload isn’t easy to perform, but with enough practice and the right gear, you can keep your wheelgun fed.Revolvers are routinely overlooked as defensive handguns.

Open the box and what have you got? What at first appears to be a Gucci AK. It’s got the same curved magazine, same broad lines, and overall profile. It even eats the same kind of ammo. But the longer you look, the more you see. Joe Stenzel was first struck with inspiration while serving in Afghanistan as a young man in 2nd Ranger Battalion, inspecting an AK far older than himself. He marveled at the simplicity, respected the ruggedness, and allowed himself to wonder. There are many white whales in the world of guns, and the idea of successfully…

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t good at rendering firearms, and that’s probably not a bad thing, for reasons that will soon be explored. It should also be noted that while AI rendered guns isn’t good yet, it is likely to improve. That might not be a good thing either. First, we need some background on what exactly AI is, or more accurately, what is generative AI. It has been in development for decades, but it was only in 2022 that generative AI entered the public consciousness with consumer-friendly programs. Where to start. There’s a LOT wrong going on here. Want to…

The Brief: The U.S. Supreme Court will review the constitutionality of state and local bans on semiautomatic rifles. Consolidated cases from Illinois and Connecticut will determine if these firearms are protected under the Second Amendment or if they may be restricted as dangerous and unusual weapons. The upcoming ruling aims to resolve conflicting interpretations among lower federal courts regarding historical firearm regulations. A decision is expected by mid-2027 and could impact similar laws in multiple states. Until then, existing bans remain fully operational and enforceable within their respective jurisdictions. WASHINGTON, D.C. — The long-awaited constitutional evaluation of the nation’s most…
Today’s handgun buyers are spoiled for choice — to a degree that the number of options becomes almost bewildering. As a result, consumers often rely on any number of heuristics that help simplify their purchase decisions. Witness today the number of novice shooters who approach buying their first handgun as they would a pair of pants: “Will I be best served by big, medium, or small?” Will you be best served with a full-size gun, like the 1911 TRP (top), or something more compact like the Springfield Armory Hellcat (below)? Certainly, the industry terms of Full-Sized, Compact, and Subcompact are…

By 1940, both England and Germany realized that the Kriegsmarine’s U-Boats were the key to the Battle of the Atlantic. Eliminating the German submarine threat was Britain’s top priority. Expanding the U-Boat fleet was Germany’s greatest hope to bring the British to their knees. In those dark days, the British Isles were surrounded, and the issue was greatly in doubt. A Lancaster B Mark I “Special” bomber modified to carry the 22,000-lb. Grand Slam bomb. Image: Author’s Collection Even though the Royal Navy was developing a convoy system to defend the precious merchant fleet supplying England, U-Boats at sea proved quite…

The United States Semiquincentennial, also called the Bisesquicentennial, the Sestercentennial, or the Quarter Millennium, marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States signed on July 4, 1776.

In all seriousness, we are doing something a bit different with the Unusual Suspects for the rest of the year. We are going to profile only U.S.-made knives and…
