In this article, Greg Frebourg reviews the Springfield Ronin EMP 9mm pistol. The handgun was loaned to the author by the company for this article. If it quacks like a duck, floats, walks and looks like a duck, well, it is a duck. That common sense saying might be full of wisdom, but it falls short as soon as anyone asks: “what kind of duck?”. Yes indeed, there are many kinds of ducks, and for most people, their differences are anecdotal and only feather deep. In some cases, looking like a duck only goes so far: anybody who tried to…

Don’t be caught off guard. Prepare yourself by going camping.When it comes to preparedness, testing, practice, and real-world experience is everything. If you have a closet full of gear, but you’ve never really put that gear to the test, then why bother even having it? A bag full of unused equipment isn’t preparedness. It’s just stuff. It only becomes preparedness once you’ve actually proven, with your own hands, that you can use it.Camping, fishing, and hunting are all great ways to relax and spend time with the family. They’re also great ways to improve your survival and preparedness related skills,…

The Schutzstaffel was a fascinating mob. Few organizations were more reviled during WWII than the feared SS. Universally feared on the battlefield while being justifiably vilified for their well-documented atrocities, Himmler’s black-clad storm troops were history’s original jack-booted thugs. The Bergmann MP35 represents a fascinating chapter in WWII small arms development. This German submachine gun combined old-world craftsmanship with some genuinely weird design choices. First-Person Impressions of the MP35 I had a friend who has since passed who landed on Omaha Beach at 1400 hours on 6 June 1944. He said that, by the time he hit the beaches, most…

We need to talk about stopping power because there’s a lot of garbage floating around. Misinformation that might get you hurt. Or worse, make you overconfident in your carry gun’s ability to end a fight instantly. Let me clear something up right now. Medical professionals experienced in evaluating gunshot wounds often cannot distinguish between wound paths from common handgun calibers during surgery or autopsy. That’s from the FBI’s own ballistic research. Not internet forum experts. Not gun shop commandos. Actual doctors. Training matters more than caliber debates. The best stopping power comes from putting rounds where they need to go,…
There’s a clarity of purpose when it comes to single-action pistols like the 1911. The single-action was the first type of semi-automatic pistol, and it still remains popular through to today. Sir Winston Churchill claimed such a gun, the Mauser C96, saved his life in the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. On our side of the Atlantic, the 1911 .45 was killing America’s enemies before World War I, and did so through that conflict, as well as World War II, Vietnam, and even into the 21st century’s War on Terror. The Texas Rangers availed themselves of the 1911 as soon as…

During the Second World War, the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Yamato was feared due to its immense size and power. She was the most heavily armed battleship ever built, with nine 18.1-inch (460mm) main guns, the largest ever mounted on a warship. Each shell weighed nearly 1.5 tons and had a range in excess of 26 miles. Yamato was also the heaviest warship ever constructed and the most heavily armored, leading to a belief she might be “unsinkable.” The super-battleship Yamato carrying out sea trials in October 1941.

With Recover Tactical’s S-PRO conversion kit, you can stock your Glock, Canik or Walther PDP.Ever since the advent of both the handgun and the longarm, people have been searching for the best way to bridge the gap between the two. The tree created in this quest for compromise has many branches and brought us to entirely new categories (looking at you, PDW). But one of the easiest ways, and first attempts, to clasp hands was simply adding a stock to a sidearm.This makes a lot of sense. A buttstock increases stability and allows for better recoil management by adding more…
