Threaded barrel, suppressor-height sights, and 1.25-inch groups at 25 yards — for around $500. Most firearms manufacturers introduce a full-size handgun first, then a compact and a subcompact. Rost Martin took a different track, starting with the compact, then the ported versions, and now a full-size and a tactical handgun. The Rost Martin 9mm works well in this role and demonstrates that the design has a lot of stretch. The new pistol is similar in size to the Glock 17 as a frame of reference. With some expectation, I opened the box for the new RM1F Tactical and found a…
I’ve been competing in shooting sports competitions since 2014. I’ve shot everything from GSSF to Steel Challenge, USPSA, IDPA, PRS, 3 Gun, 2 Gun, AK Competitions, and more. What I’ve learned over the years from all types of competition shooting is consistency wins more often than shooters who try to “hero or zero” every stage. I’ve also learned that it always comes down to the Indian, not the Arrow, meaning skill beats buying guns/gear every time. I’ve watched shooters rise through the rankings in various shooting sports and have studied how they’ve improved so drastically. I’ve found that the best…
If you’ve bought 5.56 lately, or even just window-shopped, you’ve probably noticed prices creeping in the wrong direction. There’s a reason for that, and it’s parked outside a chain-link fence in Independence, Missouri. The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant — the single largest producer of small-arms ammunition for the U.S. military, and the source of an estimated 30% of the .223/5.56 sold on the American civilian market — has been mostly idle since April 4. Roughly 1,350 members of IAM Local 778 walked off the job after overwhelmingly rejecting Olin Winchester’s contract offer, and as of this week, the strike…
European American Armory just pulled the curtain back on its next move in the double-stack 1911 spacea nd it might be one of the more interesting carry guns on the floor at NRAAM 2026. At the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, EAA unveiled two new additions to its lineup: the EAA Witness2311 XXX series, a pair of sub-compact pistols that aim to shrink the footprint of a double-stack 1911 without giving up capacity. And right away, one thing stands out. This thing is thin. A Slimmer Take on the 2311 The biggest story with the EAA Witness2311 XXX…
While the Firearms Policy Coalition’s (FPC’s) recently released State Freedom Index gave the state of Vermont an 81.2% grade, some lawmakers in the Green Mountain State are trying to push that ranking down significantly. The legislative session in Vermont is quickly winding down, but that’s not stopping anti-gun lawmakers from trying to pass several serious infringements on the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners in the state. According to a legislative alert from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), anti-gun Democrats in Vermont are pushing two omnibus gun bills in an attempt to pass them before…
Every once in a while, something pops up on the show floor that makes people stop mid-sentence and go, “Wait… what?” That’s exactly what happened with the Tokarev TSP-12 shotgun at NRAAM 2026. Because this isn’t your typical pump gun. Not even close. Pump… From the Back? Here’s the hook: the action isn’t up front. It’s in the stock. Instead of racking a forend, you cycle the Tokarev TSP-12 shotgun by pulling the stock (or pistol grip) rearward. It’s a completely different motion than what most shooters are used to, and the first time you see it, it almost looks…
There’s an old line that gets repeated a lot in this world: “The first rule of gunfighting is… have a gun.” Taurus USA is leaning all the way into that idea with the new Taurus 22TUC, a micro-compact .22 LR built around one simple goal: Make it so easy to carry that you actually do. Small, Light, and Always There The Taurus 22TUC is about as minimal as it gets. 10 ounces unloaded 5-inch overall length 1-inch width 2.5-inch barrel This thing disappears. Pocket, purse, ankle. Wherever you want to stash it, the 22TUC isn’t going to fight you on…
Two and a half years ago, the research division at Canadian outfitter MEC set an audacious goal. The brand wanted to create an entire ultralight camping kit collectively weighing just 2 kg — or roughly 4.5 pounds. The kit would include the four essentials for backpacking: a tent, a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, and a backpack to carry them. After a lot of trial and error, the MEC team pulled it off. In March 2026, it finally released the capsule, which it’s calling “the 2 Kilo Project.” It’s not just crazy lightweight, either. The gear included in this capsule…
A California man who spent 24 years in the Air Force is a free man today after a jury in San Bernardino County acquitted him of murder and manslaughter charges. 52-year-old Patrick Dull maintained all along that he was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot 25-year-old Ryan Dazzi early one morning last February, and it appears that the jury concurred after deliberating the facts in the case. Dull and Dazzi were acquainted with one another through family friendships, according to defense attorney James McGee, who represented Dull.On the night of the shooting, Dazzi showed up…
Virginia’s Democrat-controlled legislature and Gov. Abigail Spanberger approved a lot of gun control bills this session, and many of them will soon be subject to legal challenges. One bill, however, contains a directive to the Virginia State Police that Gun Owners of America argues is in direct violation of a court order. HB 1525 raises the age to purchase handguns in the Commonwealth to 21, and Spanberger’s amended version, which was approved by lawmakers this week along party-line votes, instructs the VSP to “administer, enforce, and otherwise implement § 18.2-308.2:5 of the Code of Virginia from…
The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to skirt the recent ruling striking down the USPS’s nearly century-old ban on shipping firearms through the mail, and one major gun-rights group is calling attention to the matter. In a national alert to members, Gun Owners of America (GOA) sounded the alarm on the USPS plot to circumvent the ruling and maintain the status quo on mailing guns. “We need your immediate action to stop the U.S. Postal Service from sidestepping our landmark court victory and chipping away at your Second Amendment rights,” GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt wrote in the alert.…
Shots rang out at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, mall on Thursday after two groups got into what police are calling a “confrontation that left one person dead and five others injured. Baton Rouge Police Chief TJ Morse told reporters late Thursday that five individuals were in custody, though as of Friday morning the ages and names of those arrested have not been released, nor have authorities detailed what charges each of the five face. Three high school seniors from Ascension Episcopal School were among the victims of the shooting, according to a Facebook post from Lafayette…
There is closure for the family of a young Korean War soldier who went missing in action some 75 years ago. The remains of U.S. Army Sgt. Celestino Chavez, just 19 years old at the time, was returned to his family and buried with full military honors in his hometown of Gallup, New Mexico, on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. Sgt.

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News under the title: The Unseen War: How Weather Weapons and Engineered Scarcity Are Being Used to Control Nations and People Introduction: The Weaponization of Rain, From Tehran to Your Backyard I believe we are witnessing the final, gasping breaths of an empire that has turned its most advanced technologies against the very elements of life. Warfare is no longer just kinetic — it is environmental, biological, and psychological, waged on multiple subtle fronts. The alleged case of the Pentagon using advanced radar installations to steer precipitation away from Iran,…
After 10 years, countless adventures, and about 70,000 miles of bouncing around in the bed of my truck, I think it’s time I gave the STIHL Pro Universal Forestry Axe its due. It’s the perfect axe for camping, offroading, and general all-around outdoor duty. If that seems like a big statement, I have a decade of use to back it up. This is why I love the reasonably priced Stihl Pro Universal Forestry Axe. In short: Durable, compact, sharp, and ergonomic, the Stihl Pro Universal Forestry Axe ($120) is the ideal tool for campers, overlanders, and anyone who needs a…
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…
After 80 years, with help from the Air Force, Henry Bordner finally returned to Montana. On April 15, an airman with the 120th Airlift Wing at Great Falls Air National Guard Base, transported the remains of Army Pvt. Henry David Bordner to Montana, where he will be buried in Butte, his hometown. Bordner endured a great deal before he died. Serving in the Pacific, he was captured by Japanese forces, becoming a prisoner of war (POW). He was forced to take part in the brutal Bataan Death March. After his death in captivity, Bordner’s remains went unidentified for decades until finally…

When Waffen SS panzers rolled into the Ardennes in December 1944, one of the first American infantry units thrown into the breach at Malmedy was a battalion whose roster was filled almost entirely by Norwegians.The 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate) was a thousand-man unit of Norwegian nationals, ex-merchant seamen stranded by the occupation of Norway, and first- and second-generation Norwegian-American soldiers. Its men spoke Norwegian and wore a Viking longship patch in the blue and red of Norway’s flag.On Dec. 17, 1944, just hours after SS troops gunned down more than 80 American prisoners in a field at Baugnez, Lt. Col. Harold…
