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…
The Brief: A driver died after crashing an SUV into a San Tan Valley home, where a resident fatally shot him. The impact caused severe structural damage and injured two occupants. Believing the breach was a violent threat, the male resident used a firearm in self-defense during the chaotic aftermath. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident under Arizona’s Castle Doctrine, which justifies deadly force to prevent forcible felonies within a dwelling. While the homeowner was released without immediate charges, the case will undergo a standard legal review by the Pinal County Attorney’s Office. SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ…
The Brief: A Memphis tenant shot a masked intruder discovered burglarizing his apartment. After an initial confrontation, the tenant fired additional rounds as the suspect fled the scene. Police later located the critically injured suspect nearly half a mile away following a blood trail. The stolen property was recovered nearby. The incident highlights legal complexities surrounding Tennessee’s Castle Doctrine and the use of force against retreating targets. While the law permits defense against imminent threats, firing at a fleeing individual introduces significant liability. The shooting remains under review to determine if the tenant’s actions were legally justified. MEMPHIS, TN —…
I love 1911 handguns. There is something about the short and light trigger that helps me shoot 1911 pistols more precisely than any other pistol platform. Quite simply, the 1911 pistol hits “home” with me. The craftsmanship engineered into a 1911 supersedes other semi-auto pistols by far for me. I enjoy the solid construction and the comfortable shooting with the 1911. This lineup of Springfield Armory 1911 and Prodigy pistols shows how far optic-ready slides have come on the classic platform. From left to right we have a 3.5″ Compact Prodigy AOS, a 4.25″ TRP Carry Contour AOS, a 5″…

In the mid-1930s, Adolph Hitler cast his eye towards France and dreamed of revenge for the outcome of World War One. Standing in his way was the French Maginot Line, a collection of massive concrete strongpoints, casemates, armored turrets, and observation posts. Among the barbed wire, mine fields, and tank traps, there were nearly 5,000 bunkers defending France. A German Karl-Gerät alongside a Panzer IV ammunition carrier known as a “Munitionsschlepper.” Image: Author’s collection Despite this intimidating defensive line, during 1936 Rheinmetall proposed development of a super-heavy howitzer to attack the Maginot forts. The original plan was to have the mortar…
Snubnose revolvers are prolific in American cultural consciousness, but few people properly understand their practical capabilities.One of the most quintessential American guns is the “snubnose” revolver, a staple of our heritage since it started to spin. The need for a compact and reliable weapon has never abated, and, sure enough, the little revolver has been there for us for countless generations. Due to the general saturation of this type of gun in the media and as an ingrained staple of our cultural consciousness, it’s both significantly overrepresented and, at the same time, poorly understood.The Hollywood Effect on Snubnose CarryIn general,…
