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…

There are reasons why the full-size 1911 pistol is often described as “iconic,” and the gun’s long and successful history on battlefields, in the streets and at pistol championships isn’t the only reason. It’s slim for its power level, an important dimension for both comfort and concealment. When properly built, it’s also remarkably accurate, and its trigger system and grip shape adapt well to a broad range of hand sizes. The 1911 is not seen as often in holsters as polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols. Why is that? But you do not see it as often in holsters as you do striker-fired,…

Don’t be caught off guard. Prepare yourself by going camping.When it comes to preparedness, testing, practice, and real-world experience is everything. If you have a closet full of gear, but you’ve never really put that gear to the test, then why bother even having it? A bag full of unused equipment isn’t preparedness. It’s just stuff. It only becomes preparedness once you’ve actually proven, with your own hands, that you can use it.Camping, fishing, and hunting are all great ways to relax and spend time with the family. They’re also great ways to improve your survival and preparedness related skills,…

In 1937, the Curtiss SBC Helldiver entered service, but even at that point, the carrier-based two-seat scout/dive bomber was on the verge of being obsolete. Interestingly, it was also the second aircraft produced by Curtiss-Wright to earn the designation “Helldiver” after the United States Marine Corps’ version of the Curtiss Falcon, operated by the U.S. Navy as the F8C Falcon. Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver of Bombing Squadron Ten (VB-10), USS Intrepid (CV-11), flies over Tientsin, China, as the city is reoccupied by the Allies in September 1945.

The Direct Impingement, or for the pedantic, internal piston system, AR-15 has been around for almost 70 years, with surprisingly few true design improvements made in that time. Accessories have been added, metals and materials have changed dramatically, but fundamentally, the AR-15 of 2026 would be entirely recognizable in 1960, and an AR from the 1960s is surprisingly competitive with an AR today. But if you want a dramatically different change to the AR platform, you can slap a short-stroke gas piston in it. This was the big “advancement” ARs saw in the mid-2000s, but for how prevalent the design…
Every armed citizen needs to understand the risks of civil liability after a self-defense shooting.Criminal acquittal or prosecutorial decision not to prosecute is not the conclusion of legal exposure following a self-defense shooting. The criminal and civil justice systems operate under fundamentally different rules and apply different standards of proof. A person can emerge from criminal proceedings without a formal charge and still face years of costly civil litigation. Understanding this distinction is a practical necessity for any citizen who carries a firearm.Two Parallel Systems, Two Different StandardsIn a criminal proceeding, the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,…
Your Kid’s Phone Is the Most Dangerous Room in the HouseHere’s the math most parents never run: your kid has more unsupervised contact with strangers right now, tonight, in their bedroom, than they will walking through any unfamiliar city alone. A game invite, a chat request, a “friend” who just followed them back — that’s a door into your house, and most parents have no idea how many of those doors are sitting wide open.The danger isn’t a website anymore. It’s a pipeline right into your home.It starts somewhere that looks completely harmless — a game, a group chat, a…
