Let’s put my cards on the table: I’m an Oregon native. I grew up in Portland, and my appreciation for the slightly weird yet homegrown vibe that this state puts out has never left me—especially when it comes to knives. Maybe it’s the rain-soaked forests, logging culture, and some of…

When XS Sights announced the Minimalist OR Tritium Night Sights for the HK CC9, it reminded me that they’ve always slowly but surely come out with night sights for virtually every full-size, compact, micro-compact, and even revolver platform out there. For a long time, I’ve relied on aftermarket sights, especially those built for carry optics, and the idea of a lower-fifth co-witness with an RMSc red dot immediately grabbed my attention from XS Sights’ most recent release for the CC9. I’ve seen plenty of sights that promise perfect compatibility, but only a handful deliver that elusive mix of low-profile design…

When choosing a suppressor, one of the most important decisions involves understanding the fundamental differences between sealed and user-serviceable designs. This choice affects everything from maintenance requirements to long-term performance. Both types serve specific purposes and offer distinct advantages depending on your shooting needs. Understanding Suppressor Design Fundamentals The primary distinction between these suppressor types lies in their construction and accessibility. Sealed suppressors are welded shut and cannot be disassembled by the user, while user-serviceable suppressors are designed to be taken apart for cleaning and maintenance. This fundamental difference drives every other aspect of their performance, maintenance, and longevity. Sealed…
The United States is deepening its war efforts by sending Ukraine drone strike kits to fulfill a Pentagon contract by the end of the year. If anyone thought this administration was going to be different than the previous one, this is just more evidence to the contrary. Both are willing to fund and keep a war going between Ukraine and Russia. This drone package was first reported on by the Financial Times [behind a paywall]. According to the outlet, the U.S. is going to send 33,000 AI-controlled drones to Ukraine with plans to upgrade them later using swarm technology. Auterion,…
Two truck drivers who were fed up with being forced to unload and lock up their carry guns every time they crossed the state line into Minnesota recently sued the state for violating their Second Amendment. According to a report at landline.media, truck drivers David McCoy II, who has a Texas carry permit, and Jeffrey Johnson Sr., who has a Florida permit, argued that their rights were infringed because Minnesota’s law recognizes only certain states’ carry permits. Many states have reciprocal agreements with other states, but Minnesota does not reciprocate with states that have more generous carry laws. Alas, the court…
President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that he is working to reestablish a U.S. presence at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, four years after America’s chaotic withdrawal from the country left the base in the Taliban’s hands.Trump floated the idea during a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he wrapped up a state visit to the U.K. and tied it to the need for the U.S. to counter its top rival, China.While Trump described his call for the U.S. military to reestablish a position in Afghanistan as “breaking news,” the Republican president has previously raised the idea.…

If you’re a meat hunter, as many deer hunters across America are, you’re going to be much more interested in pounds of venison than inches of antler. So it’s natural for new hunters, and even experienced ones, to wonder how many pounds of venison they’ll harvest from any given deer. While you’ll see a bunch of different figures thrown around there on the web, the National Association just published a great video breaking down the facts. According to the NDA, you…
Is Project 2025 the goal of the religious right? No longer is prosthelitizing good enough. Now they want to use force and violence to convince the public that a Christian Nationalist theocracy, which, make no mistake, would be fascism, is the “correct” form of government. This is an alarming turn of events, and could help explain the current Charlie Kirk psyop. Since all government is slavery, a Christian nationalist society would be no exception. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber…

The ruling class, at the behest of right-leaning Americans, is becoming more unhinged. Pam Bondi, the United States attorney general, said the government will “absolutely target” people who use “hate speech” in the wake of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Bondi said on a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, the wife of the rightwing White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, that there is “free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society”. Attorney General Pam Bondi: “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech,…
A gun-rights organization is calling on the Supreme Court of the United States to hear the case involving California’s punitive firearm magazine capacity limit. State law in the Golden State dictates that magazines cannot hold more than 10 rounds. And the case Duncan v. Bonta, which challenges that law restriction, was upheld this spring by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that magazines are simply “accessories,” not “arms.” On September 12, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging the court to grant certiorari in the case. Joining the SAF in the filing were…

In the early 1940s a seemingly insignificant event took place. A man from New York, who worked for the Coming Glass Company, walked into a small archery company in Detroit, Michigan. In his hand he had a piece of fabric woven from tiny fibers of glass. It was a novelty-cloth made of glass and the owner of the company saw it that way until the New York man…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. How can we possibly undo the severe long-term damage that has been done to an entire generation of young people over the course of several decades? One of the most powerful pieces of evidence that our society is a failure is the fact that we have produced a “lost generation” of young adults that doesn’t have any hope. We shipped most of them off to public schools, where they were trained to believe that they came from monkeys, that there is no purpose to their lives, and…

In a landmark move for the Second Amendment community, Franklin Armory has announced that its new Antithesis™ line of firearms is now available — and here’s the game-changer — without any NFA paperwork, tax stamp, or interstate transport restrictions. A True “Firearm”, Not an SBR Franklin Armory’s Antithesis™ isn’t a short-barreled rifle, braced pistol, or SBS. Legally, it is classified simply as a “firearm” under the Gun Control Act. This means it transfers just like any other firearm, on a standard ATF Form 4473, with no tax stamp required, no Form 4, and no Form 5320.20 for interstate travel, and…
