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…

Following the release of the original Wilson Combat Division 77 Project 1, which represents some of the most advanced work that Wilson Combat has done when it comes to advanced pistol designs, the company is now offering a ‘Ghost Edition’ of Division Project 1 pistol. This new edition includes a silver-colored slide and a clear-anodized aluminum frame. Call the Project 1 Wilson Combat’s response to the categorically popular double-stack 1911 trend. But, unlike most double-stack 1911 or 2011-style pistols on the market, the Division 77 Project 1 pistol takes a different approach and instead builds off the Wilson Combat’s EDC…
The House failed to approve a bill Tuesday that was crafted after last year’s tragic midair collision near Washington, D.C., to require all aircraft flying around busy airports to have key locator systems to prevent such crashes. The collision of an airliner and an Army helicopter killed 67 people in January 2025.The National Transportation Safety Board has been recommending such Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast systems to be installed since 2008. The bill that already passed the Senate would have required aircraft to be equipped with a system that can receive data about the locations of other aircraft. The complementary ADS-B Out…
It was Thanksgiving weekend. James Kim and wife, Kati, with their young daughters Sabine and Penelope, were motoring on their trip home to San Francisco on I-5, then turned toward Gold Beach on Oregon’s southern coast. The road James took began to climb. There was no traffic, and soon no cell service. By evening, the Kims realized they’d taken a wrong turn, but Bear Camp Road was now one track cleaving rugged steeps. Backing up in the dark, James almost sent the Saab over a precipice. Knowing how to read a map is an important survival skill. Technology can fail,…
The United States’ relationship with Canada has deteriorated in the aftermath of the trade war started by Donald Trump. The president has also been calling Canada the 51st state, irritating the Northern neighbor. But the insults continue, as the U.S. mocked Canada’s loss in the Olympic the gold metal hockey game. Trump Suggested Canada Become The 51st State The mocking post went up on Sunday, referring to the US’s 2–1 overtime win in the gold-medal game. It also included an embedded year-old tweet from then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reading: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our…

A study released on Dec. 8 by the Crime Prevention Research Center reports that close to half of all U.S. citizens live in the 29 states that now recognize constitutional carry. Louisiana was the last to join the growing group that allows permit-free carry. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that many there, and in other areas, have decided to forego the government fee rather than renewing. A drop in permit applications does not equate in fewer people carrying, simply that fewer need to pay a fee to the state in order to do so. Those who travel to states…
The United States has ordered nonessential personnel and their family members to leave its embassy in Beirut, a senior State Department official told Military Times on Monday, as Washington continues a massive military buildup in the Middle East.The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information, said the drawdown is a “prudent” step to reduce the American footprint in the region while President Donald Trump mulls a strike on Iran. “The Embassy remains operational with core staff in place. This is a temporary measure intended to ensure the safety of our personnel while maintaining our ability…
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…
The person choosing a semi-automatic pistol today has three basic types to choose from: single-action (usually hammer-fired), double-action (usually hammer-fired), or striker-fired. Each has its own attributes, its own strengths, and its own weaknesses. Let’s take an overview. Understanding the core differences among the various firing mechanisms is key to choosing your next handgun. Each system brings its own set of trade-offs to the table. A single-action Springfield Armory TRP Classic is on the left, while a striker-fired Echelon 4.5F is on the right. The single-action only (SAO) came into use in the 1890s with the Mauser “Broomhandle” C96, which saved Winston Churchill’s…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. In a Monday televised speech on the occasion of Russia’s “Defender of the Fatherland Day,” President Vladimir Putin declared that the development of the nuclear triad “remains an absolute priority” for Russia, coming soon on the heels of the collapse of the New START nuclear treaty with the United States. The nuclear triad serves as the ultimate guarantee of Russia’s security and allows the effective maintenance of strategic deterrence and the balance of power in the world, explained Putin, calling it “our absolute priority”. Countries like Russia, which are seen by the…
