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…

There is a long and storied connection between warfighters and their watches. The regimented precision of military life, and of modern combat operations, dictates that most everyone on the battlefield be aware of the time at all times. Some watch brands have become accidentally synonymous with certain men, missions, or units. Others exist specifically because of this lineage. Praesidus Watch Co, whose is derived from the Latin word for “protector” was established in 2019 with the specific goal of producing rugged, unpretentious field watches to replicate or commemorate service members throughout history. Last year, on the 80th anniversary of the…

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…

The Mission First Tactical Minimalist holster helps to eliminate unnecessary scabbard bulk for a print-free CCW experience. So, why take that pistol — still a top choice for carry today — and put it into a…

Chiappa Firearms is starting out the new year by introducing a new L-Frame Rhino chambered in .44 Magnum, the new Chiappa 60 DS series. This product expansion represents the brand exploring larger-bore revolvers in its unique bottom-barrel, low-bore-axis revolver designs. Built around the Rhino’s trademark bottom-chamber-firing geometry, the new .44 Magnum 60 DS reduces muzzle rise and straightens recoil impulse, a decisive advantage when moving a high-pressure cartridge through a revolver platform. The enlarged L-Frame introduces updated ergonomics, including twin finger stops and a revised grip interface for improved leverage and repeatable hand placement. Despite the larger chambering, the frame…

Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq fell 20 years ago, and over the years, many secrets of his reign were uncovered. But we still don’t really know much about the small arms industry of Saddam’s era. Engineers and managers of Iraq’s military factories vanished without a trace, and there was never much official information available. In a previous article, the Tabuk AK was covered, the main service rifle of the Iraqi military. But there was another, arguably more famous rifle in Saddam’s Iraq. Everyone who remembers the 2003 invasion likely can recall pictures of U.S. servicemen with gold-plated AKs — definitely…
In the complex landscape of American public safety, the debate over firearms often revolves around the tragic tally of lives lost. However, a comprehensive analysis of federal mortality data contrasted with expansive defensive utility surveys suggests that the narrative of “gun violence” is incomplete without acknowledging the overwhelming frequency of guns saving lives. While the United States records significant annual firearm-related fatalities, the defensive application of firearms by law-abiding citizens, as highlighted in the Defensive Gun Use Statistics, serves as a massive counterweight that preserves the right to self-preservation and deters criminal predation. In fact, recent research shows that Defensive…
