The Colt Python 3 inch is already a gorgeous .357 Magnum, but two weaknesses kept it from perfection. Harrison Snake Sights and Hogue Monogrips changed that in a hurry. Colt Python 3 Inch: The Snake Returns Stronger In 2022, Colt fans were ecstatic when Colt brought back the King of the Colt revolvers. The return of the Python marked a new day for Colt and fans hoped it would be everything the old Python was. The original Pythons were true works of art. Craftsmen took oversized parts and, using stones and files, carefully fitted them to the frame. The original…
CAIRO (AP) — The United States paused its attacks on Iran for a second straight day Sunday and Tehran said it had done so too, as efforts continued to bring the countries back to negotiations on an interim ceasefire deal largely undermined by recent exchanges of fire. It was not clear why the U.S. has paused after targeting Iranian coastal areas and infrastructure in a nearly two-week escalation sparked by Iran’s firing at ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to questions Sunday. U.S. President Donald Trump is “giving talks some space. He’s…
Ruger’s new $749 Harrier ran flawlessly and delivered sub-MOA best groups with every load tested. The trigger needs help, but this affordable, mil-spec-compatible AR-15 shoots like it has something to prove. Ruger’s new Harrier rifle isn’t just Ruger’s old AR with a facelift. It’s an entirely new, affordable, and accurate design springing from Ruger’s acquisition of AR powerhouse Anderson Manufacturing.

The Harrier differs dramatically from Ruger’s discontinued AR-556. Unlike that…
The ScopeMate S28-TSC Max packs 4K recording, a genuinely useful touchscreen, and a removable 18650 battery into one rifle scope camera. It is one of the easiest systems I’ve used in the field, but the image quality leaves a catch that shooters spending $600 need to see.

The United States has chosen to hold off on a major strike on Iran due to a short supply of air defense missiles. The missile shortage can be blamed on a number of things; however, the main idea is that the US chose to “donate” a large chunk of its war supplies to Ukraine. US Halting Some Weapons Shipments To Ukraine As Own Military Stockpiles Plummet Iran and the US have exchanged strikes for nearly two weeks since a fragile ceasefire reached in spring collapsed. Both sides are also accusing each other of violating a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU),…
Every day in the United States, someone uses a gun for self-defense. Most of the time, these never make the news. They either draw it and scare off the bad guy, or they’re used against an animal or something else that isn’t interesting to journalists. Either way, they use them, they protect themselves, then they go on about their day. The state of Hawaii would have you believe, though, that armed citizens aren’t protecting themselves. They want you to think that people who carry guns are a threat and need to be excluded.Over at our…
In many ways, putting pen to paper can be therapeutic and healing. That’s proven to be the case for a new writing workshop at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., where veterans, other military members and first responders are learning the art of writing as a tool to process their feelings and experiences. “We’re teaching people literally how to write. But there’s also been some really astounding therapeutic benefits that we’ve seen people report after finishing the workshop,” Melissa Zhu, a VCU graduate student in the College of Health Professions, said in an interview with Military.com. “In the workshops, we’re…

During the early Cold War, U.S.-backed forces in the Philippines carried out a psychological warfare campaign that exploited local vampire folklore to intimidate communist insurgents. While often referred to as a “CIA vampire operation,” the campaign relied on manipulating belief in the aswang, a vampire-like figure in Filipino folklore, rather than any literal supernatural activity. The operation took place during the 1950s amidst the Hukbalahap rebellion, a communist insurgency that emerged after World War II and posed a significant challenge to the Philippine government. The United States became involved as part of its broader effort to contain communism in Southeast…

Proponents for the use of ibogaine to treat severe mental illness, including veterans, received promising news recently with President Trump’s executive order opening the door for treatments through psychedelics. The measure prompts the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow more access to psychedelic drugs, including ibogaine, which is derived from plants found in Central Africa that can carry a hallucinogenic effect. The drug interacts with multiple neurotransmitters inside the brain. The president’s executive order comes on the heels of a new study released in March in the scientific journal, Cell, reporting that Special Operations veterans with traumatic brain injuries…

We’ve logged some shut-eye in hundreds of shelters, heavily tested the most promising, and winnowed down our gear rooms to the 11 best-of-the-best camping tents out there today. In 2026 alone, I, guide manager Nick Belcaster, have taken out six new shelters across the Pacific Northwest on more than a month of overnights. Some tents are wilder nests that thrive in a more backcountry-adjacent use, like the Kelty Discovery Basecamp, while others, like my top pick, the REI Co-op Base Camp 6, are downright frontcountry palatial. I’ve also found having a real gear garage like the The North Face Wawona…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Friday that it has reached deals with seven tech companies to use their artificial intelligence in its classified computer networks, allowing the military to tap into AI-powered capabilities to help it fight wars. Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, OpenAI, Reflection and SpaceX will provide their resources to help “augment warfighter decision-making in complex operational environments,” the Defense Department said. Notably absent from the list is AI company Anthropic, after its public dispute and legal fight with the Trump administration over the ethics and safety of AI usage in war. The Defense Department has…
On May 5th, voters in Ohio will go to the polls to vote in their primary elections. This will decide who the nominees will be come November, and this is kind of the time when candidates have rallied their endorsements and are in the home stretch. Most have an idea of where things will go, and while there’s always the chance for a surprise popping up, one Ohio Republican likely didn’t expect this. It seems that a state representative who had a strong pro-gun resume is also taking money from the anti-gun side, according to…
The U.S. Air Force has finished modifying and testing a Boeing 747 jet donated by Qatar for temporary use as Air Force One and expects to have it ready for President Donald Trump to use this summer, the service announced late Friday. The jet is currently being painted red, white and blue, the Air Force said in a news release. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accepted the luxury jet a year ago despite questions about the ethics and legality of accepting an expensive gift from a foreign nation, as well as concerns about security and cyber intelligence. Trump has defended the…
