In a significant shift in federal firearms policy, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced on October 9, 2026, that it will no longer enforce key National Firearms Act (NFA) requirements for short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), silencers (suppressors), and “any other weapons” (AOWs). The change, detailed in an Open Letter [...]

After our first SIG P385 deep dive, viewers came back with more technical questions, so we went straight back to SIG Sauer for answers. In Part II, Eric McKenzie addresses future P385 models, AXG grip modules, other calibers, the manual safety, FCU interchangeability, threaded barrels and suppressor compatibility, MIM parts, U.S. manufacturing, durability, slide finish, [...]

The FP-5 Flamingo is a roughly 13,000-pound pink cruise missile carrying a 2,540-pound warhead out to extraordinary distances. Its origin story involves Ukrainian startups, worn-out jet engines, international misdirection, and one of the strangest weapons to emerge from the war.

California just put the Glock 43X CA on its handgun roster, giving Golden State Glock fans something many of us thought we might never see again: a genuinely new Glock option.

The Springfield SA-35 4″ Polished looks like a pistol you should handle with white gloves. Don’t. This glossy, walnut-gripped 9mm delivered smooth cycling, a 0.99-inch best group and enough carry appeal to earn a spot in my everyday rotation.

The Airlock Industries Zero Gravity 30 weighs just 7.5 ounces and measures 6 inches long, but the 2026 Silencer Summit numbers show this titanium hunting suppressor can run surprisingly close to much bigger cans. After shooting it on a .300 PRC, I understand why.

=The Leupold BX-6 Range HD finally puts Leupold into the alpha-class rangefinding binocular fight, combining excellent glass, fast ranging, Hornady 4DOF ballistics, GPS, and superb wind controls. It is also heavy, expensive, and imperfect enough that the $3,999.99 question deserves a hard look.

The Velotric Nomad 2X brings full suspension, fat tires, serious hauling capacity, and genuinely useful Stealth Mode into a hunting e-bike that costs considerably less than many purpose-built competitors. After riding it through sagebrush, rocks, gravel roads, and steep country, I like it enough that it will be riding in my horse trailer this hunting season.

The Burris XTR PS 5.5-30x56mm let me dial 1,080 yards and hit steel on the first shot without counting clicks or digging through a DOPE chart. After a week of hard shooting, the bigger question was whether this $2,760 scope makes long-range shooting better, or almost too easy.
