When you’ve created the ultimate knife, how do you improve on perfection?

Sometimes for this column, I have to admit that I put things off that give me trouble. Such is the case for the Alladin Lamp. No, it’s not about the genie silly. If you have never looked into off grid living, probably you have never encountered what is considered the most elegant of kerosene lamps, but they are pretty nifty. You would think the Alladin is a pressure lamp, running on propane, but it is not. That white light comes from regular old kerosene, and it will likewise run just about any lamp oil, and even diesel fuel, with no appreciable loss, or that much of a smell in my experience.

Ever watch a professional shooter move through a course of fire and think they are doing something you’re not? I’ve had the feeling. It is that nagging voice that says “you’re doing everything right, so why can’t you do that?” We’re on the range with Rob Leatham and talking about the myths of point shooting.

You know what really chaps my ass? When I see a supposed “gun reviewer” bash a product online based on very limited experience. It is almost as bad at the ‘tubers who review a product positively, after putting a dozen rounds through it, because…drum roll please, they got a free one. As you’ll see in the video, my topic for this week is a followup review on a problematic Black Aces Tactical DT short shotgun. On first blush, the gun is junk. But at the same time, we’ve had a prior gun in that worked great. I’m not personally a huge fan anyway. It’s clunky and hard to rack. But I think that whenever you encounter a problem with a gun, it is important to try to figure it out, especially before you spreading bad information around the internet.

I want a rotary-barreled machine gun chambered in 5.56mm. Or, more simply put, a microgun. And I know just where I can find one.

The proposed replacement, the SK-16, is a sleek, modern carbine with a flattop rail for optics, chambered not for 7.62x54mm, but 7.62 NATO, and that’s not all.

You’re an adult, or at least you’re supposed to be, and act like one, as a functioning member of civil society.

A California police officer is facing a federal lawsuit after an altercation last summer in which the officer unholstered his weapon in front of an unarmed man taking a video on his cell phone.
