KelTec has just released the SUB-PDP “Nub Sub”, a super compact braced 9mm pistol that folds in half.KelTec recently released the SUB-SDP, aka the “Nub Sub”, and it’s as wacky and cool as we’ve all come to expect from the company.

If you’ve been looking for a bag or truck gun that offers more shootability than a traditional pistol, the SUB-SDP is worth looking at.When unfolded, the SUB-SDP has an…

Most people who get picked handed themselves over without saying a word.That’s a hard thing to hear, and people don’t want to hear it, but it’s the truth. When somebody gets mugged or worse, everybody wants to talk about the criminal. What’s wrong with him, where he came from, what society did to bend him. Almost nobody wants to look at the other half of it: the victim got selected, out of a whole street full of people, on purpose, and there was a reason it was them and not the guy walking ten feet ahead.I’ve told you before that…
The modern generation of body armor first began as hot, bulky wraparound Kevlar vests that protected against pistol rounds. But thanks to advances in materials sciences (and a healthy dose of government investment from two decades of continuous war) these ubiquitous police armor options have largely been supplemented or outright replaced by the leaner, more comfortable plate carrier. First popularized by special operators, plate carriers have since proliferated across American society — from SWAT officers to street cops, to tactical fitness folks (think CrossFit or the Tactical Games). And you too can capitalize on their benefits. A plate carrier not…

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…

The concept of building long guns for off-body concealed carry is not a new trend. From pistol caliber carbines to folding centerfire rifle options, there are numerous “backpack gun” and “truck gun” offerings available in what one can argue is an oversaturated market. So why, then, would one consider a concealable bolt action for such a purpose? Surely an AR in 300 Blackout can do the same things, with larger magazines, easier handling, and a myriad of accessory options. Ultimately, the true crux of the differentiation doesn’t stand solely in the gun itself, but the choice of caliber. Typically, when…
We take a look at the truly unique 7.62 Nagant Russian revolver cartridge, also known as 7.62x38mmR.This military revolver cartridge was adopted by Russia in 1895 and used in the Nagant and Pieper revolvers, which were both seven-shot designs, as opposed to the usual six. The Nagant design is unique in that when the hammer is cocked, the cylinder moves forward over the barrel shank to form a gas seal. The velocity gain from this arrangement is significant. No other revolver has ever used this ingenious, though complicated, system.Russian Nagant revolvers have been sold in moderate quantities in the United…
The Brief: A Fort Worth resident fatally shot an armed man on June 28, 2026, after witnessing him dragging a woman down a street with a machete. The neighbor intervened, and the suspect charged him.

Fort Worth police released the neighbor without charges, citing Texas laws regarding the defense of a third party. The incident remains under review by the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office to confirm the legal justification for the shooting. FORT WORTH, TX…
