By Richard Nance “Time will tell” is a phrase used to convey the notion that if something is good enough, it will endure. Such is the case with the 1911. Its 114-year history proves John Browning’s design has staying power. There’s another phrase that applies to 1911s: “Adapt or die.” Only through adaptation can a pistol design thrive as technological advancements threaten its obsolescence.Beloved for its ergonomics and unrivaled trigger, the 1911 was developed in conjunction with another of Browning’s marvels, the .45 ACP cartridge. Originally, the 1911 magazine held 7 rounds, which was more than revolvers of…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News.  The relentless chant of “safe and effective” has been drilled into the public consciousness for over three years, a hypnotic mantra used to justify unprecedented mandates and societal pressure. But what if this foundational claim was never rooted in robust, long-term clinical science? What if the entire narrative was built on a carefully constructed illusion, one that ignored inherent risks and manipulated data to push a global vaccination campaign that has since been linked to a staggering number of injuries and deaths? A closer examination of the original…

The sun rises late in October’s autumn gloom, and 5:30 a.m. wakeups to run my tireless German shorthaired pointer are pitch-dark affairs. Over the last month, I’ve been looking to check the glowing face of the Vaer C4 Tactical watch on my nightstand to verify that, yes, my alarm is about to go off. Time to swing those legs over and shiver off the morning chill. At least it’s easy to read, even though my eyes are still bleary. I’ve been testing the Vaer C4 Tactical watch in everyday wear and rigorously testing it while living in a wall tent…

Pollock, Idaho, October 21, 2025 — GunsAmerica, the premier online destination to buy and sell guns, has released exclusive video from the 2025 North American Sniper Team Invitational (NASTI), widely regarded as the hardest sniper match anywhere.  Held deep in the Idaho mountains at Hat Creek Training, NASTI invited only operational active-duty military sniper teams.

Editor-in-Chief True Pearce guides viewers through never-before-seen day and night footage. Faces were blurred to protect the identities of top-tier military snipers, but…

Today we’re kicking off a showdown between two different double rifle bags. On one hand, we have the long-established brand 5.11 with its 36″ Double Rifle Case, versus the relative newcomer Savior Equipment with its 36″ Camo Urban Warfare double rifle bag. Gear vs. gear, who takes the crown? Read on as we hit tech specs, then hands-on use. It’s 5.11 vs Savior Equipment time! TL;DR: Side-by-side hands-on test of the 5.11 36″ Double Rifle Case and the Savior Equipment 36″ Camo Urban Warfare double rifle bag — both hold two full-size rifles up to 36″, but 5.11 is lighter and streamlined, while Savior is heavier-duty with…

They may not be as flashy as the colorful topsheets on your skis, but women’s ski boots are the unsung heroes of any ski day. Not only can uncomfortable ski boots ruin a good powder day with cramped feet, but ill-fitting boots can lead to sloppy skiing, poor technique or worse.  Fortunately, there are now more choices for ski boots for women. If you’re looking for a best all-around option, take a look at the Tecnica Mach1 MV, a responsive-yet-accessible ski boot with a 99-100mm last that works for the vast majority of lady shredders. If you’re a skier with…

President Donald Trump wasn’t supremely impressive on Second Amendment issues during his first term. He did a lot of good things, though he was stymied from doing others thanks to the bureaucracy, an activist judiciary, and the media, but gun rights weren’t exactly his selling point. He was simply better than Joe Biden would ever be. Now that he’s back in office, though, he’s much better on them. His administration isn’t perfect, but it’s done more for the Second Amendment than any other administration in my lifetime. And he’s made some serious moves addressing violent…

A major product shakeup at Glock moved from rumor to confirmation this week — but only after a retailer prematurely spilled the beans and Glock stepped in to correct the record. A Nashville retailer posted on social media claiming that Glock would discontinue “all models” except the slimline 43-series and roll out an entirely new line called the GLOCK V, effective Nov. 30. That post went viral and set off a round of panic buying and wild speculation across forums and feeds. Glock responded with an internal notice — later reported by multiple outlets — saying the retailer “was NOT…

Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, has an aide who gave some interesting advice to the civilians suffering under the country’s blackouts. Timofey Milovanov,  a member of the advisory board of the Ukrainian state nuclear company Energoatom and an adviser to the presidential office, said that people should manage stress, meditate, and blame Russia. “How should one prepare?” Milovanov posited. “First of all, mentally and psychologically,” Milovanov wrote. “Breathing exercises are the simplest method. Inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four, and pause for four. A few such cycles send the brain a signal that everything is under control.”…

In the outdoor world, one thing we can’t seem to shake is people looking to lighten their load by cutting ounces on the things they carry. It’s gotten so bad that people are carrying lighter EDC knives with them, if they carry knives at all. Though I don’t agree that an EDC knife should be less than 3 ounces, that’s how things seem to be trending. But a shimmer of change is emerging from a cracked door, and for the first time in a long time, fixed-blade knives seem to be on the up and up for the outdoor crowd.…

At the moment, we seem to be stuck on “29” when it comes to permitless carry states. The North Carolina legislature approved a permitless carry bill earlier this year, but it was vetoed by Democrat Gov. Josh Stein, and so far lawmakers have unsuccessful in obtaining a veto-proof majority in the state House.  Now a pair of lawmakers are hoping to make Wisconsin the 30th state in the nation to adopt a permitless carry law. State Sen. Andre Jacque state Rep. Chanz Green actually unveiled a few bills related to our right to bear arms…

Every now and then, a product shows up that straddles the line between genius and pure novelty, and you’re not sure which side you’re rooting for. That’s about how I feel about the new GunsmokeArsenal Ready Rack Cigar Tube, a machined aluminum accessory designed to mount right onto your M‑LOK or KeyMod rifle rail. Yes, you read that right.

The O‑ring‑sealed, knurled cap keeps your cigar dry in rain, sand,…
