Some guns lean hard into tradition. Others go full modern. The new Chiappa Black Thunder revolver tries to live right in the middle and it’s a pretty interesting place to be. Old West Roots, Modern Attitude Chiappa Firearms took the iconic Colt 1873 Single Action Army blueprint and pushed it in a direction most purists probably didn’t see coming. You still get: Single-action operation Loading gate Manual ejector rod 6-shot cylinder All the stuff that makes a classic wheelgun what it is. But then they layered on: It’s not subtle. Built Around .44 Magnum The Chiappa Black Thunder revolver is…
This artilcle was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Introduction Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, requires a prosthetic leg and facial surgery after being severely injured in an Israeli air strike, according to a report citing confidential sources. The New York Times, citing four senior Iranian officials familiar with Khamenei’s health, reports that he was injured in the same strike that killed his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei [1]. Khamenei, who was selected as Supreme Leader in March, has not been seen in public since his appointment, fueling intense speculation about his condition and…
Bike racks are a serious investment — one that hopefully outlives the bikes it carries. The goal behind the recently redesigned 1Up Recon hitch bike rack hits that mark. Now, it’s lighter, more secure, and easier to use. But it’s also now a rack that can actually last for a lifetime, thanks to the user-serviceability. Before we dive in, the 1Up Recon vertical carry rack hauls four, five, or six bikes, depending on the configuration. I spent a few weeks running shuttle laps and hauling my quiver of bikes with the 4-carry rack, abusing it as much as possible on…
ne of the first friends I made in the Second Amendment community was Amanda Suffecool. We made an appearance on Paul Lathrop’s The Daily Bullet and got to know one another. I’ve always loved the energy she brought to the Second Amendment world. This was before she was elected as an NRA board member, but she was knee deep in a new organization I’d not heard of at the time called Women for Gun Rights.Since then, she’s been a key part of trying to clean up the NRA, and it seems her work has been…
Springfield Armory is shrinking things down but not dialing anything back. The new Springfield SAINT Victor 9mm PDW shows up with a 5.5-inch barrel, a collapsible brace, and a layout built for tight spaces where size actually matters. This isn’t a range toy trying to look tactical. It’s a purpose-built compact. Short, Tight, and Ready to Move At just 5.5 inches up front, the Springfield SAINT Victor 9mm PDW keeps things extremely compact without turning into a novelty. Paired with the SB Tactical HBPDW brace, the whole setup stays tight to the body, easy to maneuver, and adjustable on the…
Most turkey vests come one way. Pockets stitched where the manufacturer thinks they belong, whether that works for you or not. The Chief Upland Flydown Turkey System takes a different approach. It hands you a blank slate and lets you build your own setup from the ground up. Pouches, seat, storage. You decide what makes the cut and where it rides. That kind of freedom sounds great on paper. In reality, it means a little more work up front and a little extra cost at the end. But if you’re willing to put in the time, you end up with…

California is a public lands paradise, with the most national parks (nine) and state parks (280) in the country. Soon, there will be even more outdoor recreation areas. On April 22, California Gov.

As the public land policy on the federal level moves toward extraction and commercialization, California is the latest state to reinvest in conservation at the local level. What’s New In a press conference on Wednesday, Newsom announced his new State Parks Forward plan. The project is part of…
The NRA of the past has had its…issues. No one can pretend otherwise, and I don’t think anyone has any willingness to.However, there’s been a serious reform effort over the last few years, and with the most recent annual meeting out of the way, some are asking whether the new NRA is really any different in ways beyond the financial mismanagement. One such voice is Texas Gun Rights, which has…concerns.At this year’s NRA convention, leadership rolled out a familiar message: the scandals are behind them, the books are cleaned up, and every dollar is now…
