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. Based on the SUB2000 folding pistol-caliber carbine, KelTec simply made it as short as possible and gave it a brace in order for it to legally qualify as a pistol. 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…

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…

Photos by Muneki Samejina Getting lost in the mall as a kid was a traumatic experience. It wasn’t the getting lost part; it was what my mom was going to do to me when she found me. Child abuse, by today’s standards. I learned later in life that this was not normal. Other parents were so happy to see their kids. I had accepted the premise that getting lost was a punishable offense. I remember thinking it might be better to just remain lost and start a new life at 10 years old. We have beliefs thrust upon us at…
We sat down with Griffin Armament’s Marketing Director, Benjamin Kubek, to talk about the company, the industry and suppressors.LH: It’s obvious that Griffin Armament is more than just another manufacturer trying to hop on the suppressor and AR bandwagon. How do you differentiate your brand in the marketplace?BK: Griffin Armament is the manifestation of the American Dream, and we’ve been in business for more than 20 years. Our focus has always been suppressors, but we have been manufacturing our MK1 Rifles in-house for over 10 years, and our full-ambi line of MK2s for around 3 years. In short, we are…

A wide range of really well-known aircraft types were used in World War II, by both sides. But for every Mustang, British Spitfire, Bf109, Zero, Flying Fortress, Corsair or Mitchell bomber, there were many other hard-working planes that received little to no attention. Quite often their operations provided ample opportunity for danger, but little chance for glory. A Zeke meets its end: Lt. Gandy’s Kingfisher was close behind the Zeke, and after several long bursts of .30-caliber fire, the Japanese aircraft burst into flames and crashed. Image: NARA One of these lesser-known, lunch-bucket types was the U.S. Navy’s Vought OS2U Kingfisher…
It would be hard to find two more complementary market sectors than firearms and tactical knives. As a case in point, I imagine you’re likely reading this article simply because you’re the kind of person who appreciates a quality tool in whatever form it takes. Similar to what drives the engineering teams at Springfield Armory, there’s no shortage of knifemakers who go to bed and wake up thinking about how to create a product people can stake their lives on. According to the author, there isn’t a bad choice in Cold Steel’s knife catalog. Just about everything the company manufactures…
The Tiger II tank, officially designated as Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B and introduced in 1944, was Germany’s most advanced heavy tank of World War II. Known as the Königstiger (King Tiger) by the Germans and often referred to as the Royal Tiger by Allied forces, it was designed to dominate the battlefield with unmatched firepower and armor. Tiger II tanks in formation for a wartime propaganda newsreel at the armor-training ground in Sennelager, Germany. Image: Bundesarchiv/CC-BY-SA 3.0 While the Tiger II boasted many superior specifications, its operational impact was limited by mechanical issues, fuel shortages and Germany’s deteriorating war position.

When you are faced with a deadly threat, you may only have fractions of a second to respond. Are you prepared? Do you have the right gear and training to respond when you must? Let’s say that you do. What if that response does not work? The most basic of self-defense training is the center-mass shot. Making sure that you can effectively hit in the upper, central portion of a silhouette target is one of the most basic skills you should master. But what if those hits prove ineffective? Shooting an attacker in the high center area of their torso…
Let’s get this out of the way up front. I believe the 1911 pistol is just about the finest handgun ever made. A well-built, custom 1911 represents mechanical elegance, history and performance all rolled into one. In my opinion, a pistol of that caliber deserves to be carried in nothing less than a high-quality leather holster. According to the author, when you invest in quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, you receive an investment that can last a lifetime. The Galco Masterbilt line follows that same philosophy. For years, I’ve been a fan of Galco leather holsters. Two long-time favorites of…
