In the short time I have been in this position—humbled and honored to be serving you and our cause—I have focused on streamlining our programs and services, refocusing our efforts on our competitions and other events, and committing resources to the many legal and legislative fights we are in to defend and, where necessary, to win back our Second Amendment-protected freedom. To get this done, I have been graced with incredible help from many members of the now-refashioned NRA Board, by those who now have leadership positions here at the NRA, and by many others in the greater NRA community.…
New for 2026, Lipsey’s has teamed up with Smith & Wesson to revive a pair of short-lived, but highly sought after, Night Guard revolvers. The K-frame options include the Model 386, a seven-shot .357 Mag. and the Model 396, which is a five-shot .44 Spl. These re-introduced double-action revolvers incorporate up-to-date enhancements while sticking closely to the classic lightweight design. The wheelgun reviewed here is the Lipsey’s exclusive Model 386 Night Guard in .357 Mag. Originally launched around 2008, the Night Guard series was developed with concealed carry in mind. The goal was to provide self-defenders with the capacity and…
00:00:07 Speaker 1: A man is alone in a Caribbean prison. He hasn’t hurt anyone, He didn’t mean to break the law. He forgot some ammunition in his vacation luggage, and now he’s been in a foreign jail cell for four weeks. The US government has refused to intervene. He knows there’s no one to watch his back. He also knows that somewhere on his cell block there’s a man who’s threatened to kill him. So he puts his shoes on before he showers to be prepared for anything. What he doesn’t know is that today a guard is going…

A shocking attempt to outlaw all forms of hunting, fishing, and trapping, as well as animal husbandry, breeding practices, rodeos, and more, in Oregon has failed. IP28, or the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act, was a proposed ballot measure put forward by animal-rights extremists seeking to make a statement.In January, David Michelson, the main backer of the measure, told the Willamette Weekly that his effort was similar to the women’s suffrage movement and that while he was under no illusions that it would pass, he hoped it would “help people think differently” about what constitutes…
Once a staple in law-enforcement holsters, the 1911 has fallen out of favor, largely due to its limited capacity and .45 ACP chambering. The recent popularity of hybrid-framed 2011-style pistols has changed that, with single-action, 1911-type pistols once again finding themselves on duty belts. Syndicus Defense Corporation, a California-based manufacturer of custom firearms and accessories, is adding its name to the market with the Cryptic 1911 DS. The Cryptic 1911 DS is Syndicus Defense’s take on the 2011-stylen hybrid-framed pistol. Chambered in 9 mm Luger, the Cryptic 1911 DS follows the standard 2011-pattern, utilizing a 7075 aluminum main frame and…
Earlier this year, we attended Range Ready’s “Plinkapalooza,” a celebration of all things rimfire. There were head-to-head shoot offs, challenges and incredible feats of marksmanship on display, with most firearms chambered in .22 LR, but also some .17 HMR and .22 Mag. represented. Firearms, in semi-automatic pistol, revolver and rifle, were plentiful, as well as various ammunition offerings, sound suppressors. We even saw a few brand-new products unveiled. One of the more intriguing firearms present was the new .22 LR Mountain Gun, a Smith & Wesson Model 617 presented through Lipseys with some special touches. Several of the notable changes…

On July 24, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) opened up a two-week-long public comment period as a request for information on the implementation of drain tile setbacks. Before I lose you with that very exciting opener, know that this is a crucial time for hunters and conservationists to raise our voices for waterfowl and more in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR).The PPR, affectionately known by hunters as “The Duck Factory,” spans North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Montana (it also reaches far into Canada). It’s critical breeding and nesting habitat for migrating waterfowl, but the wetlands also…
