You’re three days into a backcountry trip, your filter cartridge just split, and the only water source is a stagnant pond that smells like a wet bag of ass. Or maybe it’s not a trip at all — the tap ran dry after a storm took out the water treatment plant and you’re standing over a 5-gallon bucket of questionable creek water wondering what you actually know how to do about it.Iodine tablets are the answer everybody memorizes and almost nobody actually carries when it counts. They’re slow, they taste like a swimming pool had a baby with a penny,…
Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on.…

Narrowing down the best gun for home defense can feel overwhelming.

Covering the pros and cons of the major platforms while giving some recommendations for specific models to take a look at. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOUR SITUATION There is no one-size-fits-all answer to defending your home. Differences in budget, local laws, personal ability, personal preferences, and…
It’s rare that guns based upon classic military firearms don’t trigger (pun intended) some sort of reaction among gun enthusiasts. One of these is the U.S. Military’s M14, brought to the eager hands of civilian shooters by Springfield Armory 50 years ago as the legendary M1A, with many variants offered since. In my opinion, the most striking is the M1A Tanker, inspired by the prototype T26 Tanker Garand. The Springfield Armory M1A Tanker is a perfect, modern brush gun. It offers accurate, powerful shots with fast follow-up shots. This shorter version of the original rifle, with its iron sights and…

Versatility, dependable function, and high hit potential are among the reasons why so many of us cling to a 110-year-old pistol design. However, we have a couple of generations of gun owners who didn’t grow up with that particular pistol — the 1911 — and can benefit from the experiences with it of those who have gone before. Let’s look at a few “hacks” that make life with the 1911 a little bit easier and, even, safer. Safest grasp for holstering: thumb safety engaged, shooters thumb holding the hammer, no pressure on grip safety and the finger off of the trigger.…

Glock has been the gold standard duty pistol for generations. From world champions to tier 1 operators, Glock is the trusted name that everyone defaults to. Now we’re hands-on with the brand-new sixth generation, and, spoiler alert: for the second time in a row Glock can’t figure out how to deliver an optics system worthy of their name. There is a lot to like about the sixth generation of Glock — the grip texture, the palm swells, the more comfortable ergonomics. Setting aside the optics for now, this is my favorite generation of Glock pistol and the only generation that…
In 1960, the U.S. Army published a proposal for a new light observation helicopter to replace its Bell H-13 helicopter fleet, which was the Army’s primary helicopter during the Korean War. The Hughes helicopter company responded with its Model 369 to compete against entries from Bell and Fairchild-Hiller. The Hughes entry made its first flight in 1963. The design featured an egg-shaped fuselage that had excellent visibility for the crew, and the four-bladed articulated rotor gave it great agility. The MH-6 Little Bird is a light utility helicopter modified to transport troops externally for infiltration, exfiltration, and assault missions. Image: U.S.…
