Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…
Tuesday was “crossover day” at the Virginia state capitol, which means any bill that didn’t pass out of its chamber of origin and cross over to the other side of the statehouse is officially dead for the session. As we previously reported, the “permit to purchase” measure that was being pushed by anti-gun Democrats is no longer a threat, though SB 643 is still a blatant attack on the 2A rights of young adults by prohibiting adults under-21 from purchasing handguns and “assault firearms”. The proposed 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition as well…

When I grew up, Minnesota was the kind of state where you figured nothing much happened. Sure, sports were a thing, obviously, but the Vikings couldn’t even win a Super Bowl–then again, neither can my Failcons, so who am I to judge–and it was just one of those states that was kind of there. These days, it’s the epicenter of pretty much everything wrong with this country. If you need violence to break out anywhere, it’ll probably start in Minnesota.And as they start their legislative session there, it seems that the main focuses are going…
Most TTAG readers likely know U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, as a vehemently anti-gun lawmaker who is famous for her nonsensical comments and greatly inflated sense of self-importance. That extremely high level of conceit has led Crockett to run for the state Senate in the Lone Star State, where the majority of voters have little patience for idiots or gun-grabbers. Now, just months before the Senate election, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is pointing out Rep. Crockett’s hypocrisy on firearms, including the extremely exorbitant amount of money she spends on her personal armed security. According to a news report by…
Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…

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…
