The gun community has been a mixed bag of sorts lately with products and technology coming out at a blistering rate thanks to changes in legislature and the expansion of the broader consumer base. There are more gun owners on a much wider spectrum of diversity than ever before, and this has inadvertently led to less tribal knowledge, less general understanding of technology and a “too…

HK MP5SD, Welrod pistol, De Lisle carbine, VSS Vintorez, High Standard HDM. These are some especially iconic firearms from years past. What do they all have in common? Yep, you got it — they’re all integrally suppressed guns that were designed with built-in suppressors. Standalone suppressors are much more common. They’re designed and rated for certain calibers, and you attach them to your firearm by threading them on to the end of your barrel or attaching them to a compatible muzzle device. There are several advantages to a standalone can. You can use it on multiple hosts, and many suppressors…

Photos by Iain Harrison In 2003, we bought a 40-inch plasma flat screen TV for $2,500. The only reason we got it so cheap was because we had to buy the speakers separately. We were so proud of our new purchase that we replaced the family pictures over the fireplace with this new technology, as it was amazingly thin at just 5 inches and weighed as much as my sister. Today, you can get a flat screen for the price of lunch. It’s one of the only things in life that have actually come down in price significantly. Economies of…

Folks, we’ve been sounding the alarm on this site for years—massive debt doesn’t just vanish because politicians ignore it or the media downplays it. Right now, in early 2026, the U.S. national debt has smashed through $38.5 trillion. That’s not some distant forecast; that’s the cold, hard reality as we kick off the year. In 2025 alone, we piled on another $2.2 trillion, adding about $6 billion a day to the tab.At this breakneck speed, we’ll blow past $39 trillion by spring. That’s over $115,000 per citizen or nearly $290,000 per household—whether you’re paying attention or not. This level of…

A Texas jury in Corpus Christi is being asked to decide whether former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales committed a crime by not confronting the Robb Elementary gunman sooner. The rare case uses Texas child endangerment law to test how far police duty to act extends during a mass shooting.LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLECORPUS CHRISTI, TX (3-minute read) — Jury selection has begun in the criminal trial of former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales, nearly four years after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

The Springfield Armory Echelon is not one of the market’s best 9mm, polymer-frame, striker-fired handguns. It is the best. Springfield designed the Echelon from the ground up to create a handgun the shooting world needed — even if they didn’t know it at the time. I’ve been a big fan from the start, and I have extensive experience with both the full-size Echelon 4.5F and the compact Echelon 4.0C. I will state, with confidence, that Springfield Armory created a “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time) pistol. Springfield’s compensated Echelon lineup brings serious performance upgrades to an already outstanding platform. The ergonomic Adaptive…

When it comes to mastering true self-diagnostics, most shooters don’t know what they don’t know. Where do you even start? What do you look for? How do you know exactly what needs to be remediated? How do you…
