The pistol market didn’t just show up at NRAAM 2026… it showed off. From ultra-compact carry guns to full-blown competition builds, the show floor was packed with new releases, upgrades, and a few surprises that had people stopping mid-aisle. We ran through 15 standout pistols worth your attention: quick hits, real impressions, no fluff. Here are the top 15 pistols at NRA 2026. Check out the top 15 new pistols at NRA 2026. The Carry Guns Everyone Was Crowding Around The HK VP9 CC is clearly aiming for dominance in the micro-compact space. Adjustable backstraps (a lot of them), ambi…
It happens more often than I care to admit: I sit in my house watching those shows where people win free stuff – renovations, makeovers, etc. – and I think “that could be me.” But the crazy thing is that it really could. Or, instead, it could be you. Here’s how: Some folks at a friendly casting company are looking for a military family for a new home renovation show headed for HGTV. The show is not going to focus exclusively on military, but they want a military family for the pilot episode. As usual with this kind of thing,…
At the time of writing, the Springfield Lipsey’s Exclusive 10-8 Performance Master Class has fired just over one thousand rounds. A Return to the Platform I have been carrying the 10-8 Master Class full-time since my first impressions, shooting it almost daily. I like to use the first thousand rounds as a “get to know you” stage to really figure a gun out. Coming from a 12 oz J-frame, I’ve been spending a bit more time dry-firing the 10-8 to adjust to the platform. I have been a “1911 guy” for as long as I’ve been a “gun guy,” but…
I’ve never been tech-savvy. When it comes to gizmos and gadgets, I’m rarely enticed, mainly because I assume I won’t be able to work them or they’ll sit gathering dust in my closet. I didn’t jump on the smartphone bandwagon until 2019, and I won’t shy away from arguing for the superiority of landlines. But here’s my Catch 22. I love being outdoors and enjoy documenting my activities. A scenic run on a beautiful day? That’s something I’d share with my friends and family. An overhead wave and a perfect turn? Yeah, I’d love to show my grandkids that down…
House Republicans are advancing a funding bill for the Department of Justice that includes a major cut in funding to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives as well as measures meant to fully remove suppressors and short-barreled firearms from the regulatory framework of the National Firearms Act. 🚨BREAKING: Pro-2A wins in the FY27 CJS appropriations bill:✅ Cuts ATF budget by $285M✅ Defunds ATF’s illegal gun registry✅ Defunds EVERY Biden-era ATF rule✅ Prohibits NFA registration✅ Reduces NFA wait times✅ Prohibits gun buyback programs✅ Defunds “Red Flag” laws— Rep. Andrew Clyde (@Rep_Clyde) April 29, 2026The…
Steiner Optics is stepping into a space that’s been talked about for years. But rarely executed well. The new Steiner eDiscovery 10×42 binoculars don’t just help you see what’s out there… they let you capture it without ever lowering the glass. One Tool Instead of Two Anyone who spends time in the field knows the drill. You spot something worth capturing… Then you fumble for your phone or camera… And by the time you’re ready, the moment’s gone. The Steiner eDiscovery 10×42 binoculars aim to fix that. With a built-in 4K camera and 12MP photo capability, everything happens right where…
LONDON — In the world of diplomatic faux pas, it could have been a lot worse. At Tuesday’s state dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla, U.S. President Donald Trump said that during a private meeting earlier in the day the British monarch had agreed with him that Iran should never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well,” Trump told the audience. “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more…
Standing at the top of the park jumps, it was my turn to ride in front of the camera. I would be sending the big jump line at Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a spring day in February. The unusually warm temperatures had the extreme terrain riding poorly due to icy conditions. But the terrain park, on a sunnier aspect, was perfectly soft. The local high school kids were out in force today, constantly putting down bigger tricks. At almost 30 years old, I have learned to approach the park a bit differently — no longer willing to take as…
Aero Precision isn’t bankrupt. But something is clearly wrong. Inventory has vanished. Orders are delayed for months. Lawsuits are piling up. And the company hasn’t said a word—until now. (see below). If you’ve spent any time on AR15.com, Sniper’s Hide, Ruger Forum, or gun-Reddit in the last few months, you’ve seen the question over and over: Is Aero Precision dying? Builder sets are gone. Lowers are unobtainium. Dealers say wholesale orders take months. Forum posts claim insurance got yanked from employees. So what’s actually going on at the Tacoma-based AR-15 giant? We pulled together public records, court filings, the company’s…
The sweeping gun ban bill in New Mexico that also includes a broad number of new mandates for federally licensed firearms dealers is on the verge of defeat, but Second Amendment advocates need to continue to keep up their pressure on lawmakers. As we reported on Tuesday, the House Judiciary committee did not take a vote on SB 17 during its meeting late Monday/early Tuesday. Instead, the committee said it needed more time to read through a number of proposed amendments. With the legislative session expiring at noon on Thursday, every hour of delay makes…
Just as I pass the outskirts of town, I peg the accelerator. Both electric motors immediately engage and force me against the seatback. The C-HR charges forward with the pull of a Porsche and the smoothness of a bullet train. Moments later, I momentarily see triple-digit speeds. Whoa! This is not your father’s C-HR. Or, perhaps, your older siblings’ C-HR. After all, Toyota introduced us to the last C-HR in Los Angeles in 2016, ahead of its 2018 model year debut, which ended after 2022. That cute, but wheezy sub-compact crossover rocked all of 144 horsepower. This one? More. Returning…
The Department of Veterans Affairs is making a major change in its policies towards veterans who’ve had a fiduciary appointed to help manage their benefits. For decades, having a fiduciary meant that the veteran was reported to the FBI’s National Instant Check System as a prohibited person because the VA saw that as being adjudicated as mentally defective. On Tuesday, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced that will no longer be the case.This corrects a three-decade-old wrong that deprived many thousands of Veterans in VA’s Fiduciary Program of their constitutional right to own a firearm without…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved… Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer. Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on…
If someone wants to take their life, and they own a firearm, they’re likely to use it, unfortunately. If they don’t have one, they might buy one, or they might look for some other way to provide a permanent end to a temporary problem. Either way, the issue with suicides isn’t about guns, but about the mental health crises that lead to them. But, last month, a study was released that supposedly linked so-called ghost guns–unserialized firearms, typically made at home via various means–to suicides.I wasn’t impressed by the study.But, unsurprisingly, The Trace was. They…
