A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to prevent the disclosure of the identities of approximately 5,000 FBI agents who worked on investigations related to the January 6 Capitol riot. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb agreed with the Trump administration that concerns over potential retaliation against these agents were not sufficient to block the release of their names, citing a lack of imminent danger in the disclosure process. The ruling comes amidst heightened tensions within the FBI, following calls for accountability and transparency regarding those involved in high-profile investigations. The decision has spurred concerns among agents who fear…
Two federal lawsuits challenge New Jersey’s newly enacted bans on firearm silencers and short-barreled rifles, asserting they are unconstitutional. Filed by residents alongside the National Rifle Association and the Firearms Policy Coalition, the lawsuits argue that the state’s restrictions fail to meet the standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, which emphasizes the historical context of gun regulation. In one case, plaintiffs contend that the silencer ban improperly criminalizes a tool used for noise reduction since the early 20th century, while the other lawsuit defends the right to possess…

What You Can’t See … Sights are another area for modification consideration. If you’re still enjoying iron sights, you may want to consider switching out front and rear sights for easy target acquisition. Perhaps you need a taller front sight, patridge with gold bead or bright colored insert. Depending on your eyes, barrel length and shooting application, different blade widths may make sense. I’m past iron sights at this stage of life, so I lean toward optics. For revolvers and semi-autos, reflex sights are common on today’s hunting handguns. With a little practice, you can get on-target mighty fast. Red…
Billed by Silencer Central as “the first shotgun suppressor designed specifically for hunters,” the new Banish 12 has a number of field-friendly features and also stands out as one of the few shotgun suppressors on the market. Produced entirely from titanium using additive manufacturing, the Banish 12 is compatible with all 12-ga. shotshell ammo from #8 shot to #2 shot and is also compatible for use BB, BBB, 00 buck and slugs. One of the biggest complaints surrounding previous shotgun suppressors centered around weight, as many shotgunners prefer longer barrels with more mass out front to produce a smooth swing…

Mounting System Akey element to this concept is the mounting system, which GLOCK calls “A-CUT,” presumably because of the angles at which the slide is cut for the sight. There is no interfacing mounting plate and no little screws being tormented by the force of the slide rocketing back and forth with each shot. The COA direct mounts to the slide. Picture a mortise in front where the front of the sight’s mount levers in, and the sight unit is now pressed flat onto the spot milled for it atop the slide. Then, behind it is inset a piece that…
There have been countless books and articles written about the various small arms used by the United States Marine Corps during the Second World War. They include such iconic examples as the M1903 Springfield rifle, M1 Garand, M1 carbine, Thompson submachine gun and Browning Automatic Rifle, just to name a few. Though much more basic and compact, knives issued during the war were sometimes just as essential to the Marines’ survival, and, while they have not been covered as extensively, their design and use remain interesting and important parts of the story. This Marine Raider was photographed training…
