A big win for Springfield Armory/HS Produkt, Spain’s National Police (Policía Nacional) adopts the Echelon 4.0FC as the standard-issue sidearm. Released in 2023, the Echelon is a modern duty-grade pistol designed to meet the needs of any user. Fully ambidextrous, striker-fired, and adopted by agencies across the nation.

Balanced, high-capacity, in a do-all platform. Facing off in a grueling…
Gone to drop trou and found a gun in a public lavatory? Here are the ins and out of safely addressing the situation.Finding a firearm in a public restroom is unfortunately not as uncommon as you may think and with CCW increasing across the board, it’s something you may come across yourself.[Photo credit: ABC7 New York]The problem starts when someone has to drop trou outside their home. The vast majority of on-person pistols ride in holsters that attach to a pants belt, regardless if it’s designed for inside- or outside-the-waistband. Many of these holsters don’t have positive retention, especially the soft-sided…
The Hi-Power, a single-action, double-stack 9mm service pistol, was John Moses Browning’s final design. In fact, it was completed after his death by his protégé, Dieudonné Saive. Browning left behind an indomitable legacy in the world of firearms, and while many of his guns are extremely well known around the globe, the Hi-Power may be one of the most famous. Its prominence was overshadowed in the United States by our affinity for the 1911, but in the rest of the world, the Hi-Power is one of the most prolific and loved military pistols of all time. Now, the design is…

Pull up almost any 20- or 30-year emergency food list and you will see the same collection of staples: wheat, white rice, corn, sugar, dried beans, pasta, rolled oats, potato flakes, powdered milk and dehydrated vegetables. Properly packaged and stored under the right conditions, some of these foods can remain usable for decades. That part is not necessarily wrong.What almost nobody points out is that practically everything on those lists is extremely low in fat.That is the real reason these foods last so long. They are not magical survival foods that somehow resist time. They are mostly dry carbohydrates with…
“Practically every one of our dead was found with his rifle torn down next to him where he had been trying to fix it.” — Excerpt from a letter written by Marine in 1966 to his family after a firefight in Vietnam.

By Dave Merrill and David Lane If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. But what happens when it walks like a Glock, talks like a 1911, and shoots like a CZ SP-01? Well, you’ve encountered the Wilson Combat Bulwark. The Bulwark is a Doctor Moreau monster-mash of John Browning and Gaston Glock, done in a different way. This pistol intrigued us so much, a pair of us tackled it for this review: CONCEALMENT Editor Dave Merrill and RECOILweb Editor David Lane. We didn’t have a gun like this on our 2026 bingo…
