Burris is rolling out a fully updated Veracity scope line that focuses on lighter weight, a redesigned optical system, and modern turret features aimed at today’s lighter, harder-recoiling rifles. According to Burris, the new Veracity has been more than a decade in development, replacing a long-standing model that played a major role in the company’s scope lineup. The update touches nearly every part of the optic, starting with a new optical system designed to deliver a wider field of view while reducing overall size and weight. Burris also emphasized a noticeably more forgiving eyebox, paired with nearly five inches of…

At SIG Sauer’s Range Day, the company provided a closer look at the newest additions to its double-stack 2011-style lineup: the P211 GT4 and GT5. These pistols represent a shift away from the compensated, competition-focused GTO. Instead, they are more traditional, duty- and carry-oriented configurations while maintaining many of the same core design elements. The GT5 is built around a 5-inch bull barrel and a steel frame paired with an aluminum grip module. The design closely follows the familiar 2011 pattern but incorporates SIG’s own manufacturing and feature choices. According to SIG representatives, the goal was to create a versatile…
SIG Sauer’s updated M7 reflects the U.S. Army’s Product Improvement Effort, pairing a shorter barrel and revised suppressor with the ballistic advantages of 6.8x51mm. Over the last 60 years, the M16 has evolved to the current versions of the M4; it’ll be cool to see how the M7 continues to improve over the next few decades. A More Compact M7 for Army Use SIG Sauer continues refining the M7 rifle as part of the Army’s Product Improvement Effort. The latest configuration focuses on overall size, weight, and handling rather than altering the rifle’s mission. The most visible change is the…
The Mimic Speed 9 is a 9mm PCC built around a proprietary 60-round, dual-stack flip magazine that keeps AR-style ergonomics but lacks broader compatibility. A Different Take on High-Capacity PCCs At SHOT Show 2026, Mimic Firearms showed off the Speed 9, a pistol-caliber carbine that looks familiar at first glance but quickly separates itself. The rifle runs a proprietary steel magazine that holds 60 rounds of 9mm in two opposing 30-round stacks. When the first stack runs dry, the shooter removes the magazine, flips it, reinserts it, and keeps going. That system keeps the magazine dimensions comparable to a standard…
The Spohr N643 Standard 6.0 is a German‑built, eight‑shot .357 Magnum revolver that prioritizes precision machining, durability, and competition use. A Modern Eight‑Shot .357 Rather than leaning on nostalgia, Spohr builds the N643 Standard 6.0 with a clear focus on mechanical consistency. Chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, the revolver uses an eight‑round cylinder and supports moon clips, making it viable for competition and high‑round‑count training. The cylinder locks at multiple points, contributing to a tight, repeatable lockup. This is why fit and timing feel deliberate, with none of the play common to mass‑produced wheelguns. Barrel, Trigger, and Handling…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. As news began breaking very early Monday of President Trump’s scathing letter to Norway over the country’s failure to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, some pundits and journalists immediately questioned whether it was real. But confirmation came soon after. In the letter addressed to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Trump explained that he no longer feels obligated to focus exclusively on peace, while repeating his intent for US control over Greenland. In essence, he lays out that no Nobel might turn into no Greenland for Europe (as Denmark exercises control over the resource-rich…
The “vampire rule” is basically any law that says you can’t come into a place otherwise open to the public if you’re carrying a firearm without explicit permission, kind of like how a vampire supposedly can’t enter a home without permission. It’s a stupid rule, if for no other reason than there’s no way a criminal is going to follow that rule, no matter what.However, there’s a bigger issue at work here, and that’s how the law compares to the status quo in most other states. First, let’s look at this piece from The Independent,…
The integrally suppressed firearm or barrel is an idea almost as old but not quite as old as the silencer itself. One of the world’s first examples started showing up around WWII, with guns like the Welrod, the De Lisle Carbine, and of course, the legendary STEN Mk II(S). The integrally suppressed firearm market has more or less stagnated, save for but a few modern manufacturers who are daring enough to step outside the mold of the more traditional suppressor design. However, this may not be the case for much longer, given our current rush on anything and everything suppressor-related.…
The United States has been good at one thing lately: making enemies. The European Union now says that it has a “trade bazooka” that it can fire up if the clash with Donald Trump over Greenland continues. The EU says it is considering revising an old €93 billion plan that would economically retaliate against Trump and the U.S. This “trade bazooka” is the most powerful trade weapon the EU has in response to Trump’s escalating tariff threats over Greenland. opting to hold the measures in reserve while pursuing a last-ditch diplomatic solution. The plan is one of retaliatory tariffs that…
The attorneys defending Hawaii’s “vampire rule” that bans concealed carry on all private property unless property owners choose to specifically allow it don’t have a lot of good options. They’ve pointed to an 18th century New Jersey anti-poaching law that forbade carrying a gun on improved private lands and a 19th century law from Louisiana that prohibited carrying guns on plantation property without the express consent of the plantation owner, but even though the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals called those laws “dead ringers” for Hawaii’s prohibition, neither of them come close to the scope of the “vampire rule”…
Thanks to modern technology and design, the lines between watercraft categories have become increasingly blurred. SUP boards can be kayaks. Kayaks can be inflatable packrafts. And now, evidently, packrafts can also be sea kayaks. The minds behind Alpacka — a Colorado brand that has dominated the packraft category with sturdy, lightweight, inflatable boats for 25 years — has now made a sea kayak. An inflatable sea kayak, to be more specific. With its latest model, Alpacka’s lead designers said they’ve invented something new, or at least designed a watercraft that can take coastal explorers to new places — without lugging around a…
North Carolina isn’t quite like most other Southern states. While Virginia is different as well, swinging back and forth politically like a screen door in a hurricane, North Carolina is mostly a red state. However, if you look at its electoral history, you can see that it’s usually pretty damn close. Democrats aren’t going anywhere, especially with a Democrat in the governor’s mansion. Still, Republicans control both chambers and have since 2011, and not buy one or two votes.In other words, everything there is a fight, especially on gun rights.Last year, the legislature passed constitutional…
Millions of Americans and citizens abroad are being requested to “walk out” as part of a coordinated effort led by nationwide event organizers to rebuke the Trump administration and display “escalating resistance to authoritarian policies and violence.”The “Free America Walkout” will take place Tuesday, Jan. 20, across all 50 states and Puerto Rico, as well as in other countries including Canada, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Organizers, which include Women’s March and 50501, told Military.com that more than 600 events were scheduled as of Jan. 15. Their website as of Jan. 17 showed in excess of 1,000 events with roughly 30,000…
My streamer slapped down perfectly next to a submerged log, almost kissing the wood. In true Kelly Galloup fashion, I ripped the rod tip of the G. Loomis Asquith aggressively, using my stripping hand to keep up with the slack. My streamer darted from the cover, and a rainbow charged out and absolutely crushed my fly. I came tight to the fish and had my first fish of the day boat side in short order. At that time, I had been testing the rod for about a week and was quickly falling for it. I had taken it to a…
As protests over ICE activity continue in Minnesota, some on the left are beginning to exercise their Second Amendment rights. 🚨SPOTTED in downtown Minneapolis. pic.twitter.com/u7akZtdz1A— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) January 17, 2026 We’ll get to how these individuals are carrying in a moment, but first we need to talk about a common response from the left to images like this. Can’t wait for MAGA to suddenly be against 2A.This one is going to be fun.— Cams (@tradercams) January 17, 2026The reaction that I’ve seen from Second Amendment supporters is exactly what you’d expect: people have the right to keep…
As World War II drew to a close, U.S. Navy intelligence suspected German U-boats equipped to launch V-1 rockets were preparing to hit New York City. The War Department dismissed the threat. The Navy disagreed and launched Operation Teardrop.In the final weeks of the war, the Navy hunted down and sank five German submarines in the North Atlantic. They stopped what they believed was an imminent attack on the East Coast. The victory came at a cost. The last American warship lost in the Atlantic fell to a German torpedo. Desperate to confirm the missile threat, Navy interrogators brutally tortured…
British Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has vowed that the United Kingdom government will not yield to pressure from United States President Donald Trump, who has announced plans to impose trade tariffs on European countries that oppose his bid to acquire Greenland. These tariffs will impact NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) countries that refuse to back Trump’s bid to take over the Arctic island. Trump’s Unhinged Tariffs On NATO Countries Over Greenland Dispute “Our position on Greenland is non-negotiable. We’ve made that very clear. And we’ll continue to make that clear,” Nandy told Sky News as reported by RT on Sunday, referring…
Besides Lord of the Rings, New Zealand is probably most famous for its Great Walks. These specially designated 11 backpacking trails highlight the country’s natural beauty, rugged coastlines, and diverse wildlife. And since North America’s winter is New Zealand’s summer, it’s possible to escape snowy, dreary skies and go on a gorgeous, sunny adventure in December or January. But with hikes in places that vary from the mountains to the beaches, and distances ranging from 19 to 50 miles, how do you know which Great Walk is the right one? Consider this your flow chart for picking the best Great…
We haven’t heard a peep about the proposed merger of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Drug Enforcement Agency in several months, and according to CNN there’s a good reason for that; the plan has been quietly shelved after getting enormous pushback from pro-Second Amendment groups. The gun control lobby was opposed to the plan as well, but as you’d expect, those views didn’t do much in shaping the White House’s plans, according to CNN. Administration officials’ expectations that pro-Trump gun-rights groups would welcome the plans were dashed almost immediately.Some conservative and…
OSIGHT isn’t exactly the first name that comes to mind when you think about rugged optics meant for serious use. But before we get into the optic itself, I’ve got to mention the packaging’s design and layout. This is one of the most organized packaging designs I’ve seen in an optics company. I’ve gotten optics before that come with little baggies of different-sized screws, depending on what firearm and/or mounting plate you’re using, and leave it to you to figure out which screws go with which type of firearm. OSIGHT managed to simplify it to the point that a first-time…
