The Brief: A driver died after crashing an SUV into a San Tan Valley home, where a resident fatally shot him. The impact caused severe structural damage and injured two occupants. Believing the breach was a violent threat, the male resident used a firearm in self-defense during the chaotic aftermath. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident under Arizona’s Castle Doctrine, which justifies deadly force to prevent forcible felonies within a dwelling. While the homeowner was released without immediate charges, the case will undergo a standard legal review by the Pinal County Attorney’s Office. SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ…

Police later located the critically injured suspect nearly half a mile away following a blood trail. The stolen property was recovered nearby.

The shooting remains under review to determine if the tenant’s actions were legally justified. MEMPHIS, TN —…
I love 1911 handguns. There is something about the short and light trigger that helps me shoot 1911 pistols more precisely than any other pistol platform. Quite simply, the 1911 pistol hits “home” with me. The craftsmanship engineered into a 1911 supersedes other semi-auto pistols by far for me. I enjoy the solid construction and the comfortable shooting with the 1911. This lineup of Springfield Armory 1911 and Prodigy pistols shows how far optic-ready slides have come on the classic platform. From left to right we have a 3.5″ Compact Prodigy AOS, a 4.25″ TRP Carry Contour AOS, a 5″…

With 2026 here and coming in hot, it was decided that reevaluating carbine selection for competition was on the list and something different was tugging at the heartstrings. But what? Most “different” 5.56 carbine selections these days are simply different flavors of AR platform rifles with different features, calibers, or operating systems incorporated into a platform that doesn’t stand out, doesn’t turn heads, and gets lost on the rifle racks with all the rest. Luckily, during a visit to Meridian Defense a build quickly brewed and was settled on for a fast, nimble, and modern AK to take on the…
Springfield Armory has just launched the SA-35 4”, a compact version of the company’s Hi-Power clone.We reviewed the original SA-35 back when it was first released a few years ago, and it left us very impressed. Now, Springfield Armory is releasing a very cool new compact version more suitable for concealed carry: the SA-35 4”. Featuring an abbreviated 4-inch barrel instead of the original’s 4.7-inch barrel, it should ride a bit nicer in the waistband while still maintaining the Hi-Power’s renowned ergonomics, full 15-round 9mm capacity and supreme shootability.As far as I know, the first factory-produced compact Hi-Power variant was…
