Photos by Iain Harrison and Muneki Samejina Concept cars push the boundaries of design and engineering. In the early days of the automotive industry, automakers used concept cars to generate attention. These were the days before internet marketing, so companies had to take a more hands-on approach with gauging public opinion. This was a good way for carmakers to show what they could do and get ahead of the competition. Today, concept cars are still used to showcase what designers and engineers can accomplish when they put their minds to it. These cars contrast the practical-minded commonplace and offer a…
My first scope was not a Leupold. A Leupold was something to aspire to. At $59.50 a 4x Leupold cost 10 bucks more than a K4, and 20 more than the scope I bought. Which set me back a little more than my first deer rifle. My first Leupold has faded in memory. Perhaps a 2-7x my friend Bob recommended, it may have arrived with a rifle swap. The 2-7x on Bob’s Featherweight Model 70 chambered for the .270 Win cartridge had accounted for many bucks, including a long-tined mule deer that had hunkered most of October in a cut…

Traditionally, big handguns were for carrying openly and smaller handguns were for concealment because — well, duh — smaller things are easier to hide (and they’re also less weight and bulk to carry). However, the wise concealed carriers ask themselves, “Why exactly am I carrying a handgun in the first place?” The obvious answer is, “Because I might have to shoot something to stay alive.” The standard Springfield Armory Echelon pistol is a full-sized handgun, and it makes for an exceptional concealed carry choice.

It’s hard to standout at CANCON with a good suppressed rifle — a place where everything is suppressed, and every silencer is better this year than it was the last. But at CANCON Arizona in 2025, Maxim Defense stuck out with their new SDX RFLX, a quiet and smooth-shooting .300BLK rifle. It was 2021 the first time we shot an experimental SDX, then a very different gun, but the roots of the suppressed Maxim Defense RFLX go back much further than that. The seed was first planted way back in 2016, when the U.S. Special Operations Command opened a solicitation…
We take a closer look at a very cool Yost Custom Browning Hi-Power SRT model in .40 S&W.I’ve had a nodding acquaintance with Ted Yost for a bunch of years now. I first met him when I attended one of the Gunsite Alumni Shoots, known in the fraternity as GAS. While there, I took advantage and took photos of Ted and his operation, since he was at that time the resident gunsmith at Gunsite. I also happened to win a GSP as the prize for winning the shoot-off, which GSP Ted had built. (Ted, it has since been modified and…
