Wilson Combat is stepping into a slightly different lane with its latest handgun, and it’s not just another striker-fired clone. Meet the BULWARK. This new midsize 9mm is built around an enclosed internal hammer-fired system, aiming to deliver the trigger feel of a traditional hammer gun without the bulk—or snag points—of an exposed hammer. That alone sets it apart in a market dominated by striker-fired pistols. Instead of relying on a spring-driven striker, the BULWARK uses a fully enclosed hammer system. The goal here is pretty straightforward: combine the reliability and ignition consistency of a hammer gun with a clean,…

The new Army Combat Fitness Test (CFT) is an annual requirement for designated combat MOSs, including infantry, armor, special forces, explosive ordnance disposal, artillery and combat engineers. You must complete the following circuit in 30 minutes or less. The purpose is to create a job-related testing activity that builds upon the new Army Fitness Test (AFT). Both the AFT and the CFT are tested once each year for these groups. The non-combat-arms MOSs (military occupational specialties) will take the AFT twice a year. The new Army CFT consists of the following events: Start with a 1-mile run. 30 dead-stop pushups.…

After more than twenty years of covering the Second Amendment debate in the United States, one of the conclusions that I’ve drawn is that while pro-2A advocates generally want people to be educated about firearms and gun policy, the gun control lobby generally wants folks to be as ignorant as possible.  A great example of this is a recent post by Brady’s Kris Brown on Bluesky, where she claimed “while this administration distracts you with a ballroom and an ICE rebrand, they’re also working overtime to flood communities with guns.”Their latest? Letting guns be shipped…

Minnesota just took a big step toward sweeping gun control but whether it actually becomes law is a different story. An expansive gun bill cleared the state Senate, targeting so-called “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, ghost guns, and binary triggers, according to reporting from FOX 9 Minneapolis–St. Paul. Will this Minnesota gun ban prevent the next shooting? Supporters are calling it a win. Critics are calling it unconstitutional. And right now, it’s stuck somewhere in between. The push comes in the wake of the Annunciation church shooting, where the attacker fired more than 100 rounds in just minutes. Families affected by…

We don’t often dunk on undeserving cars, but spotting a struggling Suzuki Jimny on the highway the other day reminded me just what a terrible car it actually is. Yes, it’s an epic off-roader, but very few of us actually have to drive over a mountain to get to work. As a result, Jimny ownership means living with a highly compromised yet cute car that can only do one thing. Many of you won’t agree with the cars on this list, which includes a Jeep for the very reasons mentioned above. But rest assured that I will also make a…

United States President Donald Trump has temporarily put “Project Freedom” on hold, pausing military escorts in the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the blockade of Iranian ports will “remain in full force and effect” until a final agreement with Tehran is reached. The now-aborted operation is the latest flashpoint between Washington and Tehran. Iran warned that any foreign military entering the strait would be targeted, insisting that safe passage through the waterway must be coordinated with Iranian forces. –RT. “Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries,” as well as “great progress” in talks with Iranian representatives, Washington and Tehran have “mutually agreed” to…

Every time something bad happens, the script gets dusted off. “Common sense gun control.” It sounds good. Feels good. Polls well. But when you actually press on it, ask for specifics, it starts to fall apart real fast. A recent breakdown by Colion Noir took a closer look at that argument and started asking the questions nobody seems willing to answer. Hope Walz calls for “common sense” gun legislation. Case in point: the latest viral push from Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota’s Tim Walz, jumping on TikTok to explain how gun control is basically the line between civilized people and…

It is Military Appreciation Month and one longtime national nonprofit is raising continued awareness regarding the importance of Military Working Dogs (MWD) in military service members’ lives. Soldiers’ Angels, based out of San Antonio, Texas, works directly with deployed MWD handlers. With it also being National Pet Week, they are encouraging the public to help donate canines’ most-needed items due to handlers experiencing a lack of specialized supplies overseas. Specific items requested include heavy-duty toys for power chewers, grooming tools, large food and water bowls. Due to MWD’s strict diets, Soldiers’ Angels cannot accept or ship dog food or treats.…

Nothing can spoil a hunt like foot problems. But great, condition-appropriate hunting boots will keep feet happy and hunters moving through mountains, marshes, forests, or fields. Apart from being burly and weather-proof, the best hunting boots have focused qualities for specific environments. If you’re chasing elk across mountains, you’ll want very different footwear from duck hunters hunkering in a cold, wet blind. To build this list, I and a team of hunters tested more than 25 pairs of boots over eight years. For this round of testing, we collectively spent over three months trekking through steep elk country in Colorado,…

The DOJ’s new effort to overturn Denver, Colorado’s ban on so-called assault weapons has received a warm welcome from Second Amendment organizations and advocates, who see the challenge as a welcome opportunity to create a circuit court split on the constitutionality of such bans… and maybe give the Supreme Court a nudge to take up the issue sooner rather than later. In a statement, NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford declared the move is “exactly what gun owners voted for.” The Trump administration has been relentless in defending the Second Amendment, and today’s lawsuit against Denver’s unconstitutional…

Season 2 of Battlefield 6 is winding down with one final update launching on May 5, which brings a few quality-of-life improvements ahead of the following week’s launch of Season 3. Battlefield Studios continues to update Battlefield 6 as the community has expressed mixed feelings about the game’s state, and the player count has plateaued after a post-launch decline. Battlefield 6 launched late last year and quickly became a massive success with critics and fans. Many claimed that Battlefield 6 was a return to form for the series after a couple of lackluster entries, bringing the franchise back to basics…

This article was originally published by Ryan McMaken at The Mises Institute.  In January of 1917, V.I. Lenin was disappointed. He was living in exile in Zurich, having failed to bring about a communist revolution in Russia in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Yet, being a committed revolutionary, he refused to declare defeat. In a speech to socialists on January 22, Lenin described the failure to win a decisive battle against the Russian regime as a “temporary defeat.” Nonetheless, he did not know when a similar opportunity might arise, and he told his audience: We of the…
