The Mauser Karabiner 98k is not some dusty museum prop that only matters to collectors. It is a hard-kicking, history-soaked bolt gun that still shows exactly why the Mauser action became the gold standard for combat rifles and hunting rifles alike. Why the Mauser Karabiner 98k Still Belongs on Your Bucket List If you hang out at shooting ranges or gun shops for any amount of time, then you have heard the name Mauser. You may have family or friends who collect Mauser rifles, not just the 98k, but the legion of other Mausers. While you get extra bucket list…
The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 is not just another striker-fired 9mm trying to chase the usual names. After range time, carry time, and real instructor use, this pistol proved flat-shooting, reliable, optics-ready, and good enough to make a longtime Glock carrier reach for something else. The service-sized handgun is a mainstay of defensive shooting, especially compact-sized firearms. Some guns have dominated this market, but in the last decade, we have seen companies bring ever-improving 9mm duty-sized pistols, and these guns are now rivaling the dominant names in the marketplace. This article explores one of those standouts, the Smith and…
The American-made Charles Daly Honcho looks like a budget-minded 12-gauge bruiser built for tight spaces and rough work. But once the shooting starts, this compact pump reveals a split personality: smoother and better finished than expected, yet still saddled with reliability issues serious enough to kill the deal.https://gunsamerica.com/listings/search Charles Daly has long been an importer of hunting shotguns from around the world. The brand departed from form in 2018 with the introduction of the defense-oriented Charles Daly Honcho. The Honcho sat in a gray area occupied by pistol-grip-only shotguns, but with a grip designed to meet minimum legal length requirements…

From samurai roots to the gallows, this is Hideki Tojo’s fanatic rise, failed suicide with an 8mm Nambu, and the wild “Remember Pearl Harbor” denture secret that rode with him to trial. World War 2’s Scale: A Global Fire That Scarred Everyone The Second World War was the bloodiest, most expansive conflict in human history. Even today, nobody is quite sure how many people perished in this massive global conflagration. Estimates range somewhere between 70 and 85 million souls. That’s tough to get your head around. American culture is admittedly Eurocentric. It just is. Ask anybody the origins of industrialized…

The right to keep and bear arms is a human right. Even if most other nations ignore it, having the means to defend yourself is an essential right, even if you elect not to do so. It’s like free speech. It’s a human right, even if you don’t care to speak out about things. But all too often, it’s treated like nothing of the sort, even here in the United States. People want to attach things to it that boil down to it becoming a privilege you have to look to the government to grant…
Steiner just dropped a shrunken version of its MPS pistol optic aimed squarely at compact and subcompact carry guns. The MPS-C rides the RMSc footprint — the same cut found on the Shield RMSc, Holosun EPS Carry, and other small-frame optics — making it a direct play for Shields, Hellcats, P365s, and similar platforms. The headline feature is the enclosed emitter design. Unlike the exposed-emitter dots that dominate the budget end of the market, the MPS-C’s LED sits protected behind a fully sealed housing with a recessed, shrouded window. That matters on a carry gun that lives in a holster,…
More than one hundred United States-based international law experts have warned that American strikes on Iran may amount to war crimes. These violations come only a few months after the U.S. committed obvious war crimes when it bombed civilian boats in the Caribbean, accusing them of “narco terrorism.” Experts were citing violations of the United Nations Charter, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and alarming rhetoric from senior officials as evidence of the U.S.’s war crimes. War Crimes Stacking Up: Three More Killed In US Attack On A Venezuelan Boat In an open letter published on Thursday by the Just Security policy…
A Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden’s protective detail shot himself in the butt at Philadelphia International Airport last Friday morning, and the story behind the how is almost too embarrassing to type. According to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, the agent left his phone behind in an SUV while escorting Biden into the airport. He rushed back to retrieve it and, apparently lacking a flashlight, drew his Glock and used the weapon-mounted light to search for the phone. When he hastily re-holstered, he sent a 9mm round into his own backside. UPDATE: Additional new details about the junior @SecretService…

California is one of the most anti-gun states in the nation. To hear legislators there talk about it, they’re just following the will of the people. They claim that most Californians want gun control and are happy with whatever new regulation has just been turned into law. And, frankly, I had no problem believing that. While I know that much of the geographical areas of the state are rural, the number of large urban centers skews the politics severely, and they keep electing anti-gunners to go to Sacramento.Despite this, though, it seems there are some…

When you practice tornado drills, you account for every member of your family. You know the safest room, you have your emergency kit, and you have a plan. But does that plan include the four-legged members of your household? For many, pets are family. Ensuring their safety during a tornado requires the same level of practical, proactive planning you apply to everyone else. Animals can sense changes in weather and often become anxious long before the sirens blare. A scared pet is an unpredictable one. Without a clear plan, chaos can take over, and in those critical moments, a pet…
