Fresh off the line from TOPS we’ve got El Chappito, the frankly adorable, shrunk-down, EDC-sized brother of the company’s famous heavy duty cleaver. El Chappo is a bit of a modern legend in the TOPS lineup. Designed, like many of the company’s signature blades, by TOPS CEO Leo Espinoza, El Chappo impressed not only with its obvious capability in the kitchen, but by its robust build quality that allowed it to tackle some chores not strictly speaking of a culinary bent; when we first covered El Chappo in 2018, we dubbed it an “outdoors-oriented cleaver.” El Chappito on duty The…

CrossBreed Holsters has recently unveiled the new CrossBreed LightGuard holster, an IWB (inside-the-waistband) concealment holster that accommodates pistols with tactical lights built on CrossBreed’s Multi Flex platform.  Crossbreed LightGuard holsters are of hybrid construction. They combine a precision-molded, modular Kydex lower shell with an injection-molded piece that specifically secures the pistol. There are numerous fits available for specific makes and models of defensive handguns. By combining the Kydex lower shell with the injection-molded polymer upper shell, users are able to easily swap the light-specific part of the holster without needing to replace the entire unit. This ensures that carriers aren’t…

In 1947, Bruce Hodgdon, a Navy veteran, got word the military was planning to dump 50,000 pounds of surplus gunpowder into the ocean following World War II. Bruce saw an opportunity: Instead of discarding gunpowder now that global conflict had ended, purchase the surplus and sell it to reloaders in America. Bruce cut through government red tape — something he and family would continue to do for decades — and purchased 25 tons of government surplus 4895. To advertise, Bruce rented a farm pasture and moved an old boxcar into it, took a photo and placed a 1-inch ad in…

The Pentagon wants sensors that can detect small drones threatening military installations across the United States. And it wants them fast. “Due to the urgency of the threat and the need to assess capability readiness,” the Defense Innovation Unit needs products in time for a spring 2026 demonstration a Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, according to a DIU solicitation. “Invited companies may have 30 days or less between notification and execution of the demonstration,” the solicitation adds. The project, titled “Counter UAS Sensing for Homeland and Mobile Defense,” seems aimed at both civil defense and battlefield protection. The first track is…

DPP, RMSc, RMR, ACRO, and Doctor Optics: all similar but different red dot footprints. Are you confused yet? The world of optics footprints is messy and confusing. The naming conventions sometimes overlap, also adding to the quagmire. In this article, we’ll sort through it all to provide a clear answer as to why each exists. Hopefully, you’ll be less confused by the end. There are a variety of red dot optics on the market. Not all of them share the same mounting footprint. Shown here is a close-up of the Steiner MPS Bottom and plate for Springfield Echelon 4.0C. While…

One of the many incoming Civivi models we did not have space for during SHOT Show coverage, but that we definitely want to talk about, is the Entelodon. This flashy folder is another entry into Civivi’s growing Karambit Corral. We know what you’re asking yourself, dear reader – and fear not, we’ve already asked the question ourselves: what the heck is an entelodon? As it turns out, this is a prehistoric mammal, a nearly man-sized creature with a generally pig-like look accented with sizable, dare we say fearsome, dentition. In fact, the enteldon is sometimes called the “killer pig” for…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Time is not fungible.  The time you spend reading this column cannot be “reclaimed.”  It is gone and it won’t be back. Which is why the “talking filibuster” proposal for the United States Senate is such an awful idea.I wrote the first paragraph fully aware of the jests it will bring forth — thank you for underscoring my point by posting a comment along the lines of “That’s five minutes I will never get back.” You are correct. You won’t get it back. Hold that thought. It applies to the United States Senate…
