OK, so what do I mean by third time’s the charm? Simply this… S&W’s original “value” 9mm pistol was the Sigma. Introduced in 1994 in an effort to compete with Glock, the SW9F had mixed reviews. The trigger was the culprit. It was not so great. You experienced a long and gritty trigger pull, with a pull weight that made it difficult to keep the front sight aligned with the target. So, in 2012, they introduced an upgraded model, the SD9VE. (The SD-VE stood for Self Defense, Value Enhanced.) They made both of these pistols in .40, as well. Even…

The Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Uzi Pro is a modern evolution of one of the most iconic firearms in history: the Uzi submachine gun. Developed by IWI in 2011, the Uzi Pro was created in partnership with Israeli special forces and law enforcement, aiming to modernize the original Uzi with 21st-century materials, safety upgrades, and modular features. [1][2] It retains the compact, instantly recognizable silhouette of the Uzi but introduces polymer construction, MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rails, a closed-bolt operating system, and improved ergonomic controls. [1][3] As the Jerusalem Post noted upon its debut, the Uzi Pro appeared in an “endless number of movies” and…
The Pentagon’s top national security focus will mirror that of President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda, with multiple U.S. officials telling Military Times that the department will prioritize protecting the homeland and the Western Hemisphere.Countering China will remain a key national security interest of the new National Defense Strategy, which is expected to be released soon, officials said. The Pentagon document lays out the military’s plans to increase lethality, deter aggression, confront adversaries and defend America’s borders, a mission one official said was “why Trump was elected.”Republican voters in the 2024 presidential election ranked the economy and immigration as their…

This article was originally published by G. Calder at The Exposé. A senior Russian presidential advisor, Anton Kobyakov, has suggested that the USA is planning a quiet but catastrophic escape route from its debt crisis, leaning on crypto, stablecoins, and gold. Currently $37.5 trillion in debt and paying $882 billion per year in interest alone, the US relies on financial engineering to keep the machine running. The reset suggested by Kobyakov would be the largest wealth transfer in history, with the asset-rich gaining extreme wealth while wage workers are plunged into poverty. Remember that this is not a US-specific problem. Stocks,…
The question of suppressor durability is one that every prospective and current suppressor owner should understand. While the simple answer might surprise you, the reality is that a well-maintained suppressor can outlast multiple generations of shooters. Some first-generation Maxim silencers from the early 1900s are still functional today, proving that quality suppressors can last over a century when properly cared for. However, suppressor longevity isn’t just about time—it’s about usage, maintenance, and understanding the factors that contribute to wear. The honest answer to suppressor lifespan is that it depends entirely on the specific suppressor design and how you use it.…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned the military’s top officers — hundreds of generals and admirals — to a base in northern Virginia for a sudden meeting next week, according to three people familiar with the matter.The directive did not offer a reason for the gathering Tuesday of senior commanders of the one-star rank or higher and their top advisers at the Marine Corps base in Quantico. The people, who described the move as unusual, were not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive plans and spoke on condition of anonymity.The Pentagon’s top spokesman, Sean Parnell, confirmed that Hegseth “will be…

As wildlife managers experiment with different ways to haze predators like wolves and bears, drones have emerged as one of the key tools they’re reaching for. In the eyes of one former grizzly bear manager, they are the tool for finding bears and moving them away from a specific area. This would include college campuses, according to an article published Wednesday by the University of Montana. “With a drone you can basically lead them exactly where you want them to go,”…
United States ruler Donald Trump isn’t even trying to hide his war crimes. He admitted the ruling class has sunk a third Venezuelan civilian boat, killing all of the people on board, and depriving them of due process. “We knocked off, actually, three boats – not two – but you saw two,” Trump said on the White House lawn, following the release of footage Monday showing three alleged drug smugglers being killed in a U.S. airstrike. That came after a strike on September 2nd, in which 11 people aboard a similar vessel were reportedly killed. U.S. Commits War Crime: J.D.…
Minnesota gun owners are facing some harsh proposals as Gov. Tim Walz has the legislature meeting in a special session to consider passing additional gun control laws in the wake of the shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church. Fortunately for Minnesota gun owners, gun-rights leaders in the state are just lying down and playing dead. On September 18, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus (MGOC) announced the formation of the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center (MNGOLC), a brand new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to aggressively defending and expanding the constitutional rights of Minnesota gun owners through legal action. According to a…

The Pentagon has stepped back from the policy that requires all troops to get the flu shot every year by introducing exemptions for reservists and proclaiming that the shot is only necessary in some circumstances for all service members, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press.The memo, written by Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg on May 29 and sent to all the military services, says reserve troops now will need to be on active duty for 30 days or more before being required to get an annual flu shot. It also says the military will no longer be…

The ruler of the United States, Donald Trump, has vowed to eradicate radical left-wing terrorism after the false flag attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas. According to a report by RT, the authorities identified the shooter as Joshua Jahn, 29, who, unsurprisingly, died of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound after firing from a rooftop overlooking the ICE Field Office. Investigators said shell casings recovered at the scene bore the words “ANTI-ICE” written in blue marker. Jahn’s brother, Noah, expressed shock at his involvement, saying he had not known him to hold strong political views or…
While many self-defense shootings occur when a victim is attacked by a stranger, it’s not unusual for both the attacker and the defender to be family members, acquaintances or even friends. A recent shooting in Fresno, California, involving a former professional soccer player, who says he was defending himself, has resulted in no charges being filed. According to a report at nbcbayarea.com, for San Jose Earthquake player and soccer coach David Gold said he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Ronald Morris, a friend for half a century, on September 8 at his home. “I took his life…
