I own several handguns that qualify as high-end—Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Langdon Tactical. They are excellent pistols, refined versions of familiar patterns. 1911s. Berettas. Even Glocks. The pistol illustrated here doesn’t resemble any of them. The Daniel Defense H9 looks like nothing else on the shelf—except, of course, the Hudson H9. That’s no accident. Daniel Defense acquired the rights to the Hudson design and reworked it extensively. The result is not a cosmetic refresh, but a serious re-engineering of an idea that once showed promise yet failed to fully deliver. I fired a Hudson H9 eight years ago. It was…
It’s never a great morning when I wake up and see there’s been a mass public shooting anywhere in the world. I don’t like seeing them, and not just because they bring up some rather painful memories. But when it happens in an anti-gun country, I have to take a moment and think about the laws that are in place in that country as well, because these are all things that someone here either has demanded as a way to stop mass shootings, or will if they get half a chance.For example, Bondi Beach.Yet on…
A state gun-rights group is warning that the on-again, off-again support of the Second Amendment by the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) could have effects that endanger Republican candidates in this November’s critical mid-term elections. A story under the byline Texas Gun Rights (TGR) and posted at shootingnewsweekly.com emphasized that a number of 2A-related missteps by some administration officials are concerning this close to such an important election. “The Trump administration has moved aggressively to enforce immigration law, crack down on sanctuary policies, and restore order at the border,” the report stated. “But as that fight plays out, another…
It’s been more than a year since Illinois state Rep. Kevin John Olickal introduced the “Responsibility in Firearm Legislation” or RIFL Act, and so far the bill hasn’t seen much movement. It was shunted off to the House Rules committee last February, and hasn’t had so much as an initial hearing. Still, the legislation that would require firearms manufacturers to obtain a license from the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation in order to sell their products in the state has quietly gained co-sponsors in the months since it’s been introduced, and now anti-gun politicians…
This article was originally published by G. Calder at The Exposé. On Tuesday, February 10th, the European Parliament moved the digital euro one step closer to reality, backing amendments that support a push by the European Central Bank (ECB) for a central bank digital currency intended to work both online and offline. This does not mean the new currency is in place yet, but it’s another unmistakable signal that the project is gaining momentum after years of discussion. The digital euro remains framed by EU institutions as a strategic and sovereignty project, designed to reduce reliance on non-European payments infrastructure and to…
There are hundreds of rod companies for bass anglers to select from. Most are great, and it can be tough to stand out in the crowd. But let’s be real: a store-brand rod lacks the same sexiness you get from a boutique manufacturer. Yet time and time again, I find myself reaching for the Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Platinum Signature Rod on my boat deck. I picked this rod up a year ago and didn’t have high expectations. But I’ll be darned, after using it to chuck jigs and stick pigs, I can no longer ignore its impressive performance.…
Redfield is a brand known for bargain optics and budget accessories. When I heard it was jumping into the shotgun game, I was wildly skeptical. Add in the idea of leaving the elk woods in September to go shoot doves in Texas with budget shotguns during the Academy Sports and Outdoors Full Blast Event, and I was honestly almost halfway to a face palm. It’s pretty hard to drag me away from my happy place. Once I got down there, though, and handled the Redfield Vector Semi Auto ($450) and the Drive Pump Action ($300), along with a heap of…
Gun control groups like Brady regularly proclaim that “police violence is gun violence”, even while exempting law enforcement from virtually every one of the anti-2A bills they support. You’d think that Brady and Giffords would be on board with the “Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act”, which aims to reduce the red tape and regulatory burdens around less-than-lethal products like stun guns by amending the Gun Control Act to exclude them from the definition of firearms. Instead, the gun control outfits iare melting down over the bipartisan passage of HR 2189, claiming that “the gun…
We all have those one or two recipes from grandma that have been passed down for generations, and they bring back so many memories of family fun around the table. However, what about old-school recipes that have been forgotten?While the depression greatly affected how people fed their families, we can’t overlook the imagination and tenacity of past generations. Many of these recipes are easy on the budget, which makes them a great choice to add to modern tables, given the recent rise in inflation at the grocery store.These old-school recipes may sound odd, but they are quite delicious! Consider trying…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
