Striker-fired pistols dominate today’s handgun market, but that does not automatically make them the best choice for every shooter. We put revolvers, single action, DA/SA, DAO, and striker-fired handgun actions under the microscope and on the range to see where each one shines. In today’s handgun marketplace, striker-fired pistols are the norm, but we often forget there are other options for your handgun needs. While some of these systems are from an earlier time, they may have characteristics you want. We’ll cover the most common handgun action types and then let you take the information and answer the real question:…
The Steiner MPS 2.0 keeps the original optic’s rugged enclosed-emitter design, then attacks its biggest weaknesses with up to 90,000 hours of battery life, larger controls, and a stronger mounting interface. It is not a reinvention, but the upgrades make this duty-grade red dot considerably easier to trust and run. Steiner Upgrades Its Duty-Grade Enclosed Red Dot The Steiner MPS 2.0 is not a ground-up redesign. It retains the enclosed-emitter construction, ACRO mounting footprint, large viewing window, and 3.3 MOA dot that made the original MPS a serious duty-grade optic. Instead, Steiner concentrated on several practical weaknesses in the first…
The Ruger 10/22 has spent 62 years turning new shooters into lifelong rimfire addicts. We tested a factory Carbine and a custom build to see why this simple .22 LR still refuses to surrender its crown. The Rimfire That Started a Lifelong Addiction We all remember our first time. Mine was on the edge of a hay field facing a dirt bank. Empty soda cans were lined up about 10 paces away. I had passed my multiplication tables and long division tests, and my reward was shooting my cousin’s Ruger 10/22. My first shot was slow and deliberate. The bullet…
The CANiK PRIME RADIAN packs Radian’s RAMJET and AFTERBURNER recoil-control package into a 17+1 micro-compact 9mm that shoots flatter than its size suggests. It is not cheap, and the trigger on this sample did not quite hit classic CANiK greatness, but the range performance makes a strong case for this carry-ready package. CANiK PRIME RADIAN Review: A Micro 9mm With Radian Bite The CANiK PRIME RADIAN delivers premium Radian upgrades, a 17+1 capacity, and exceptional recoil control in a micro-compact 9mm. Built on the METE MC9 PRIME, this collaboration brings premium upgrades to a pistol designed for everyday carry without…
In New York, possessing a pistol in public without a permit comes with a mandatory prison sentence of 3.5 years in state prison, since merely having a gun in a holster is treated as a violent felony. So what happens to the government employee who knowingly issues a permit to someone who should have been denied? Do they get charged with a violent felony? Do they go to prison for several years? No. No, they do not.A former Erie County Clerk’s office employee has been sentenced for fraudulently issuing a pistol permit. Raymond A. Brinson, 32, of…
The man convicted in one of the deadliest hunting-related crimes in U.S. history has died behind bars. According to Wisconsin court records, Chai Vang, who was serving six consecutive life sentences for the 2004 “Tree Stand Killings,” has been pronounced dead. WBAY first reported Vang’s death through online court records. The case shocked hunters across the country more than two decades ago. In November 2004, Vang trespassed onto private property near Meteor in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, where a confrontation broke out with members of a hunting party. Prosecutors said Vang opened fire. He killed six hunters and wounded two others…
Michigan on Saturday joined Minnesota in reporting cyberattacks on nine of the state’s water systems but an official said all systems were operating “safely.” Earlier this week, authorities said cyberattacks targeted over 30 water systems in Minnesota. The source of the attacks is being investigated, but they came amid warnings that Iranian hackers have been focused on such systems. The reports in Michigan surfaced after the state received a federal cyber alert Tuesday about attempts to tamper with operational technology at water systems. Soon after, the state received “a small number of reports from Michigan communities indicating activity consistent with…
Veterans from two sides of the world are teaming up as part of a unique partnership ushering in adaptive rock climbing to the estimated 100,000 disabled service members in Ukraine.

I have concerns with artificial intelligence. I haven’t hidden them, either. I use it, mind you, because there are very real advantages to it. The problems I have with it aren’t so much about where it is now, but where it may go. Still, it’s a useful technology for a lot of things, and tends to be a better search engine than Google these days.In Australia, though, one pundit thinks that we should be careful with the rollout of AI, and to support his claim, he makes an anti-gun argument.American gun rights advocates are fond…
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has presented his campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a defense of American sovereignty and U.S. service members. President Donald Trump supplied a more immediate explanation during a July 31 Cabinet meeting: “He is trying to defend Bibi and various other people, but there are many people that shouldn’t be looked at that way, but there is no indication that I’m one of them at this moment.” Rubio returned to hypothetical arrests of American service members decades from now, seemingly an awkward pivot consider that Trump had just identified Netanyahu and others as…
Starting today, any Colorado resident who wants to purchase the most popular rifle in the country will have to fork over more money and wait for who knows how long before they get their local sheriff’s approval. In fact, some residents who’ve already started the process of buying an AR-15 will likely have to go through these extra steps and fork out extra money. Tomorrow SB25-003 – Colorado’s ban on semi automatic magazine fed gas powered firearms becomes official.Currently the Colorado Bureau of Investigations has over 2500 background checks in the queue to approve.So if these…
We know good and well that the Second Amendment says “shall not be infringed.” We all know what that means. Still, anti-gunners keep arguing that gun control is constitutional. They might bring up the militia clause, but they can’t illustrate how that overrides the last four words. They don’t even try, really. They simply proclaim it and we’re expected to accept it. Obviously, we don’t and won’t.But why do they seem to feel like they don’t have to? Why is it that they believe they can ignore the text of the Second Amendment?Howard Sachs, writing…
CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened more strikes on Iran as the United States presses for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later on Saturday, Kuwait said it responded to a new round of drone attacks from Iran while a tanker was struck in the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Israel heavily struck the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to disarm. Here are the most important developments in the Middle East today: US threatens new strikes in the conflict with Iran Speaking to reporters Friday during a meeting with members of his Cabinet at…

Some military quotes survive because they captured a decision made under fire. Others lasted because they explained war, leadership or sacrifice in a sentence short enough to carry across generations. This list favors lines with strong historical sourcing. A few are preserved through later eyewitness accounts, which is noted where necessary. Widely shared quotations with disputed or invented attributions were left out.
