I wasn’t expecting to find futuristic footwear at a nerdy electronics show. So, when I saw Fitasy’s booth at CES, I did a double-take. The brand was debuting eye-catching, monochrome recovery kicks called the Stride, which featured some fancy technology I hadn’t seen before. To make them, Fitasy takes a custom scan of your feet and prints shoes tailored to your foot’s dimensions. Cinderella would be envious of the fit. Naturally, I had to try these things on. And I’m not gonna lie, they impressed me. What Makes the Fitasy Stride 3D-Printed Recovery Shoes Unique (Photo/Fitasy) These mesh-like, rubbery shoes are…
When it comes to bills seeking to restrict so-called assault weapons, most of us don’t have to go looking for reasons to oppose them. They’re a blatant infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. They run directly counter to what our Founding Fathers wanted for us. While proponents of these bans lament that these “weapons of war” are on our streets, that’s exactly what the framers wanted. They wanted us to be able to meet the forces of a tyrannical government on as even a field as was possible.In Virginia, there’s just such…
Plenty of Americans still might not even recognize an Ineos when they see one on the road. But the off-road and overlanding crowd should know this upstart automaker well by now. Surprisingly, Ineos can report with pride that after two model years on sale, over 12,000 vehicles now roam the United States. That’s out of 30,000 sold globally after originally launching the Grenadier worldwide for model year 2023. Now, for 2026, Ineos wants to show that a new automaker believes in listening to customer feedback. For this model year, a new “Black Edition” joins the lineup with the same aesthetic…
It’s no surprise to see the federal government trample on gun rights time and again. But the latest stunt from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) takes the cake. On January 26, 2026, the ATF filed a “Statement of Interest” in a purely civil patent infringement lawsuit between Rare Breed Triggers and Hoffman Tactical. This isn’t about crime or national security; it’s a business dispute over intellectual property. Yet here comes Uncle Sam, sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong, all in the name of “public safety.” If this doesn’t scream anti-2A…
According to about a dozen media reports focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court case challenging Hawaii’s ban on concealed carry on private properties with public access, the court seems poised to rule that law unconstitutional. The case Wolford v. Lopez challenges the “vampire law” Hawaii passed following the 2022 Bruen ruling. The law forbids concealed carry of firearms on private property open to the public, such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores, without the property owner’s express consent. Hawaii claims the law should stand because of traditions in place when it was still a kingdom, not part of the United States.…
A leading group of atomic scientists has said that humanity is ticking closer to the end, and reset the doomsday clock to reflect their assessment. The scientists have warned that the Ukraine conflict and last summer’s Israel war have forced them to worry a little more about a possible nuclear war. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved its Doomsday Clock 5 seconds closer to midnight. It is now set to 85 seconds to midnight, reflecting the group’s assessment of the growing danger. The clock is updated each January as the global geopolitical climate is assessed. The international community is…

PTR’s new 9SDM integrates a removable suppressor, ported barrel, and MP5-style roller-delayed system into a modernized SD rifle. That combination defines PTR’s latest two models. It blends the company’s legacy 9mm platforms with newer suppressor technology. PTR showed the rifles at SHOT Show with production already underway. A Modern Take on the SD Concept PTR calls the platform the 9SDM, with the “M” standing for modernization. Unlike traditional SD firearms, the 9SDM is not permanently locked to one suppressor. The system uses a serialized pre-suppressor blast chamber, called the USDA (Universal SD Adapter), paired with a removable suppressor. Both components…
While attending Industry Day at the Range at SHOT Show 2026, we heard whispers that a new night-vision/thermal company was in attendance. So, we hunted them down and got acquainted with STRX Tactical, who brought their new FCX-400 Digital Color Night Vision/Thermal Clip-On. STRX Tactical FCX-400 Digital Color Night Vision/Thermal Clip-On We didn’t get a specific MSRP or price for the STRX Tactical FCX-400 Digital Color Night Vision/Thermal Clip-On, but it is supposed to be something north of $10,000. While no one is going to make an argument that this is cheap, for the feature set that it offers, this…
It’s funny how often the radical anti-gunners who infest social media and the mainstream media alike think they have a bead on just what we believe and should get a say in how we dictate our stands. Right now, a lot of people think that if we’re serious about opposing tyranny, for example, we should be shooting ICE and CBP agents in Minneapolis. They think they get a say in deciding where our line in the sand is, a say in what we’re willing to die for.On the more tame end of the spectrum, we’ve…
The Laugo Arms Alien Remus compresses the Alien platform’s competition‑focused engineering into a package intended for concealed carry, without abandoning precision or durability. Concealed Intent, Competition DNA Laugo designed the Alien Remus to be compact enough for concealed carry while retaining the performance characteristics that made the original Alien a fixture in high‑level competition. Rather than softening the platform for carry, Laugo kept the same design philosophy and addressed size and handling through layout rather than simplification. As a result, the Remus sits in an unusual space. It carries like a compact pistol, but it behaves like a competition gun.…
A conglomerate of gun-rights organizations is pushing back hard against the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) for its continued aggressive defense of the National Firearms Act (NFA) in a court challenge to the law. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners on January 20 filed a response brief in the second of the organization’s two lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act (NFA) registration scheme, Brown v. ATF. Filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the brief voices the organizations’ opposition to the government’s motion for summary judgment in the case.…
The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was created for one particular purpose. While anti-gunners claim it shields the firearm industry from liability, they neglect to point out that product liability laws are still in place. What it does is shield these companies from lawsuits that seek to punish them for third-party actions, punish them for things they did completely within the law, and simply eviscerate the lawful gun market. I wish I were being hyperbolic, but I’m not.And the truth is that states think they’ve found a way around that, and are trying…

(Click to open, or right-click and select “save” to download.)Nothing beats the smell of a campfire and the sizzle of bacon early in the morning. A crucial part of any great camping trip is cooking over the fire using some camping and Dutch oven recipes.Many campers use Dutch ovens as their g/o-to pot of choice thanks to its rugged structure and ability to act as a skillet, pot, and oven. Oftentimes, Dutch ovens are passed down from generation to generation due to their long-lasting quality.In…
Most people run around the SHOT show floor looking at all manner of firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear. Not me. I spent the majority of the time looking for the best knives of SHOT Show 2026. The knife guys need some love, too, and there was plenty to look at this year. In fact, there was so much to look at that there is no way on planet earth that I could see it all. I’m just one guy, and SHOT Show is huge. As such, I had to be selective and limit myself to knives from larger manufacturers that…
I recently made a video talking about how I love everything retro. I was addressing a re-release of an older model gun in celebration of its 50th anniversary and how sometimes timeless classics don’t need to change much to maintain relevance or performance. However, for the firearms consumer industry, “if it works, don’t change it” is not a common occurrence. Most of the time, improvements, re-innovation or improvements based on more modern materials or production techniques make something good even better. After all, this is why SHOT SHOW happens annually. Unfortunately, when it comes to innovation…
