There’s a saying in Formula One that a 15-cent screw can ruin a race just as fast as a blown motor. The little things matter, especially in a 13:1 compression engine spinning at 18,000 rpm. Guns don’t exactly run on gentle unicorn toots either; they’re an instrument of intense heat, pressure, and extreme acceleration in an area no bigger than a Pringles can. If your life depends on your firearm, or a major match is looming on the horizon, you’ll want to prep your gun just like any F1 pit crew would, and that means securing all those 15-cent screws…

If you live the EDC (Every Day Carry) lifestyle, you’re always looking for something better. When it comes to holsters, that “something better” usually boils down to three things: comfort, retention and versatility. At least, that’s what I’m always chasing. The Incog X holster by Haley Strategic and Safariland. Here, it’s paired with the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C and shown with the optional Mag Caddy. Recently, I became aware of the Incog X holster. The Incog X is a collaboration between Safariland and Travis Haley of Haley Strategic, who originally designed the holster more than 10 years ago. The Details…
The Brief: An Oklahoma City resident used a firearm to stop an intruder during an early morning break-in. After hearing someone prying open a bedroom window, the resident retrieved a handgun and held the suspect at gunpoint. Arriving police officers took the suspect into custody without further incident.

Safety experts recommend reinforcing ground-floor windows with security film and secondary locks to deter intruders. Staging firearms in quick-access safes provides immediate availability during emergencies while maintaining home safety. OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — A terrifying forced entry…

EDITOR’S NOTE: In this column, we look back at iconic guns that have either stood the test of time or vanished without a trace. In Issue 4, we covered the Desert Tech SRS, and as this is our bullpup issue, we figured it was time to blow the dust off this piece from the archives. The SRS is still going strong, having been adopted by several U.S. police departments where its compact envelope lends itself well to deployment in the urban jungle. Desert Tactical Arms (DTA) is a relative newcomer to the tactical precision-rifle market, but in the nearly five…

Admittedly, the Echelon had a steep hill to climb. At its launch in mid-2023, the then-new Echelon faced a packed market of duty-style, polymer-framed, striker-fired 9mm pistols. To say there was a plethora of choices would be a remarkable understatement. As a result, the Echelon had to bring something new to the table to forge its path. Shown here is the new Springfield Armory Echelon Alpha. The Echelon Alpha is chambered for the 9×19 Parabellum cartridge and is a perfect pistol for self-defense and duty use. Image: Carson McDaniel/Springfield Armory It did just that. In fact, it did more than that.…

The suppressor-ready JP-5 PDW Package is purpose-built for compact performance.Personal defense weapons, or PDWs, were originally designed for second-line troops who needed more firepower than a pistol could provide, but didn’t want the bulk of a full-sized rifle. Compact carbines were the perfect bridge for that gap. Guns like the FN P90 submachine gun, SR-2 Veresek and the H&K MP7 are some of the early versions of military guns used in the PDW capacity.The evolution of compact firearm platforms has increasingly emphasized portability, modularity and refined shooting performance, opening up a market for civilians. Some notable PDWs that have gained…
