SDS Arms is an importer of a hoard of popular firearms, spanning rifles, shotguns, and handguns through their brands of Tisas, Tokarev USA, Spandau Arms, Military Armament Corporation (MAC), and Inglis. The last brand is the one we want to discuss because they have announced a new, modernized Hi-Power variant in the Inglis 2035. SDS Arms Inglis 2035 9mm The original Browning Hi-Power was introduced in 1935 and had the designation of “P35” as a model. Now, almost 100 years later (not quite, but close) Inglis is bringing this pistol fully into the 21st century with their Inglis 2035 rendition…
In order to avoid a humanitarian crisis, Cuba needs to strike a deal with the United States ruling class, said President Donald Trump issuing an ultimatum. Things are looking “very bad” for the Caribbean nation now that it has lost access to Venezuelan oil, Trump said. The Financial Times [behind a paywall] claimed earlier that Cuba only has enough oil to last 15 to 20 days at the current level of demand and domestic production. After Attacking Venezuela, Trump Threatens 3 More Latin Countries This most recent ultimatum comes just one month after the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro…
When you think of full-size over-ear headphones, you usually think of long flights or a quiet desk — not a high-intensity workout where you’re dripping sweat, your lungs are searching for oxygen, and your brain is looking for any excuse to quit. Usually, I’d tell you that mental grit is the only way through. But after a few weeks with the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active ($210), I’ve found a pretty compelling alternative: sheer, skull-rattling haptic vibrations. Since I’m often coaching, I don’t usually wear headphones to work out. But I made a point of doing some solo lifting to see…
I moved from Washington State to Georgia several years ago. The driving factor was the oppressive gun control laws that began passing in the state legislature. I tried to encourage people, register, and educate voters, speak at both rallies and at the Capitol, and I even sued the state over a Democrat led voter initiative of a barrage of 2A infringements. Another major reason was that I was simply tired of Conservatives and RINO politicians that easily capitulated to the press of Washington state Leftist policies. Sadly, this also trickled down to conservative voters, who…
Thru-hiking can be a life-changing experience, but it’s also an expensive one. Completing the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) costs about $10,000, and the Appalachian Trail (AT) isn’t much cheaper, clocking in at around $7,000. With a thru-hike averaging about $1,200 a month, the high financial barrier can keep otherwise eager hikers from taking on these trails. But don’t worry — if you’re in sticker shock, you’ve got options. Many outdoor gear brands have seized upon the growing popularity of thru-hiking as a marketing opportunity, taking on ambassadors or sponsored hikers each year and doling out free gear (and sometimes cash).…
The midterms are going to be close. Historically, the president’s party loses ground in the midterms, and with the margins so thin in the House, that’s the last thing President Trump and the Republican Party need. It’s the last thing the Second Amendment needs, also, because while Trump is unlikely to sign any gun control into law, there are still a lot of federal measures that need to be undone. That’s not going to happen if Democrats take one or both chambers later this year.So turnout is going to be important, but in the wake…
It’s Monday, which means it’s time for yet another study that purports to show how gun laws are good, gun rights are bad, and no matter what the Second Amendment says, we should throw it all out the window and do what our betters think we should do. Some things never really change, do they?However, it’s important we look at these studies and discuss them, because if we don’t, someone else will bring them up and present them as if they’re unassailable facts.And we at least know what’s wrong with these studies.This one claims that…
Weatherby introduced the 25 WBY RPM, a modern, fast-twist 25-caliber cartridge built to drive heavy, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets at magnum-level speeds from standard long actions. New Cartridge Aims for Modern Ballistics Weatherby’s newest addition to its Rebated Precision Magnum (RPM) family packs a .257-inch bullet into a rebated-rim design with a fast 1:7.5 twist rate. This loading is called the 25 RPM. The company reworked its RPM case to fit long, sleek projectiles without losing usable powder space, making it easier to load heavy bullets with high ballistic coefficients. The RPM name stands for Rebated Precision Magnum, and this cartridge follows…
Outdoor Edge expands its replaceable-blade lineup with the VX7 and VX8, two compact folding knives that focus on blade rigidity, easy blade swaps, and budget-friendly pricing while maintaining a splash of flair and high-end feel. A Familiar System, New Handles Outdoor Edge built the VX7 and VX8 around its RazorSafe replaceable blade system, but these knives push the design in a more everyday-carry direction. Both models use a flipper opening with a smooth bearing system. No spring assists the action, even though I got the impression it was a spring assist when I first opened the knife. The bearing is…

MDT DRT Chassis launches as a 3.2-pound magnesium hunting chassis built for night vision and thermal setups. Designed specifically for predator hunters, it targets weight creep from modern night-hunting gear. At SHOT Show 2026, MDT positions the DRT as a purpose-built solution rather than a crossover chassis. As a result, it focuses on strength, mounting stability, and field efficiency after dark. Built for Night Hunting from the Start SHOT Show always brings new ideas, but the MDT DRT Chassis feels targeted. Instead of adapting a competition chassis, MDT started fresh. The goal was clear. Night hunters keep adding gear, and…

LOWA’s story starts in Bavaria more than a century ago, and that heritage still defines how the company designs footwear today. These are boots and shoes built deliberately, meant to last, and, importantly, be serviced rather than discarded. In a market full of disposable footwear, LOWA still thinks long‑term. Tibet EVO 200 GTX Hi MSRP: $510 The Tibet EVO 200 GTX Hi is an 8‑inch, insulated mountain boot designed for cold‑weather work without becoming a sweat box. Instead of Thinsulate, LOWA uses PrimaLoft insulation, which performs more consistently across a wide temperature range and breathes better during high output. It’s…

Rideout Arsenal recently launched the Dragon pistol, a lever-delayed, modular 9mm with an ultra-low bore axis and fixed barrel aimed squarely at competition shooters. This pistol is what I imagined could be produced if you went to an engineer who had never seen a modern handgun and asked them to design one. And I mean this in the best way. A New Approach to Competition Pistols Rideout Arsenal doesn’t frame the Dragon as a duty gun or casual range toy. The company built it to go fast. The pistol uses a lever-delayed blowback system instead of gas operation, which reduces…
SHOT Show 2026 brought no shortage of medical gear, but the ReadyMed Hybrid stood out for its modular approach to concealed medical carry. I spoke with Jefferson at the Snakestaff booth to break down how this hybrid IFAK is designed to fit into everyday carry. A Modular Hybrid IFAK Platform The ReadyMed Pro is a hybrid IFAK built for both inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband use. The system allows the end user to configure a medical loadout based on comfort, environment, and personal preference. Inside the waistband, the kit can carry a magazine directly attached to the unit, along with medical tools…
Smith & Wesson trims the fat and tunes what matters. Better sights, a cleaner trigger, and the same pocketable J-frame footprint make this a smart carry refresh. Meet the Ultimate Carry J-Frame: One Core, Four Flavors Smith & Wesson’s Ultimate Carry J-Frame revolvers refine the classic snub nose with brighter sights and a smoother double-action pull while keeping the traditional J-frame format intact. Rather than building four completely different guns for these Lipsey’s Exclusives, S&W built one core revolver and offers it in two finishes and two calibers. Shared Features That Matter On The Street Every Ultimate Carry model uses:…
SilencerCo S98 is a lightweight, eccentric 9mm handgun suppressor built from fully welded titanium and designed to keep sights unobstructed. The S98 has been teased for over a year, and SHOT Show 2026 marks its official public debut. SilencerCo positions it as a modern rethink of the Osprey concept, built the way the company wanted from the start. The result is a sealed, ultra-light suppressor focused on simplicity, fast mounting, and low visual obstruction. Overview and Design Intent SilencerCo also built the S98 as an eccentric suppressor, meaning the bore sits below the shooter’s line of sight. That profile keeps…
IBI Deuce 2.0 rimfire action brings adjustable headspace, a full Remington 700 footprint, and competition-focused upgrades to Rimfire PRS shooters. That design focus stood out on the SHOT Show 2026 floor. International Barrels Inc., now operating as IBI Precision, built the Deuce 2.0 to compete. The result is a rimfire action aimed squarely at competitive shooters who want flexibility without custom-gun headaches. A Full-Size Rimfire Action Built for Competition IBI Precision has spent seven years building precision barrels in Canada, competing directly with names like Bartlein and Krieger. The Deuce 2.0 marks a deeper move into complete actions. It uses…
SHOT Show 2026 put Foundation Outdoors in front of a wider audience, but the company is not new to freeze-dried food. Based in Salt Lake City, Foundation has spent more than a decade in the freeze-dried industry as a large-scale co-manufacturer. The team reports producing more than one million meals for other brands before launching products under its own name. Foundation Outdoors soft-launched its brand two years ago and pushed into retail distribution last summer. The company currently focuses on independent retailers, with placement in more than 40 stores across the West Coast and Midwest. Made-in-USA With Clean Labels Foundation…
