Vice President JD Vance — a Marine veteran of the Iraq War who has long been skeptical of American military interventions abroad — insisted Monday that the war with Iran is different because President Donald Trump “has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish.”“There’s just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective,” Vance said in a primetime interview with Fox News. His remarks were his first in public since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Saturday.“The president wants to make…

How far should your concealed carry handgun be capable of shooting? If you’re running off of averages, the statistics say seven yards. And I would buy that, given all the things a normal street crime lethal-force encounter involves. Positive ID, clear and present danger, blah blah blah. But if you base your needs on raw averages, you could risk it and leave your gun at home.

One of Boker’s longest-running collaboration folders, the Exskelibur, has been graced with a new variation. It’s called the Modern Exskelibur, and it brings a new locking mechanism and a proprietary steel to this time-tested design.

The U.S. and Israel are absolutely pummeling Iranian military targets, and in return, the Iranians are striking targets all over the Middle East. As you will see below, even a British military base in Cyprus has just been hit.

In this Viridian RFX11 review, author Dan Abraham evaluates the usefulness of a green dot optic on a handgun. Green dots may be more visible in bright light than red dots. But, does that actually play out on the range? The RFX11 was provided to the author by the company for the purposes of this article. I have an intense love for the Springfield Armory Hellcat line of pistols. I have been carrying the original Hellcat with the 3” barrel daily since the day it was launched. Its subcompact size and weight were a game-changer for me. The Hellcat rides…
