The softshell component in Muddy’s all-season DV8 camouflage layering system, the Enduro Jacket is designed for warmth, water-resistance and ruggedness while also emphasizing silent mobility. Built from an 87/13 blend of polyester and spandex, the jacket’s outer shell helps keep the elements out thanks to an articulated hood with a high zippered collar, stretch-gusseted cuffs, a DWR coating and a drop-tail hem that protects the wearer’s back side. Meanwhile, strategically placed insulation provides warmth during temperatures as low as 35o F and microfiber-fleece underarms permit a full range of motion without giving away the hunter’s position to wary animals. Price:…

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) estimates 1,587,049 guns sold in December 2025, based on the results of a purchaser’s name being processed through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The figure is a 3.4 percent decline when compared to the trade organization’s number for the same month in 2024, when total volume came in at 1,642,270. The group’s estimates are considered a relative barometer of industry health, but the slight decline might be partially fueled by the price of an NFA tax stamp dropping to $0 for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and “any other weapons”…

Lately, I’ve had more hands-on trigger time with bullpup carbines. Primarily, this involves the long-stroke gas piston IWI Tavor X95 chambered in 5.56 NATO; there was also a range session in which I got to shoot a magazine through a Springfield Armory Hellion, too. However, I’ve been getting to know my Tavor X95 fairly well, and I’m taking the time to write this compare-and-contrast piece about bullpup versus conventional [AR-15 pattern] carbines because, for the most part, the American shooting public seems to look sideways at bullpups.  In this article, I’ll lean on my IWI Tavor X95 and my LWRC…

Kimber entered the 2011-style handgun market first with the carry-oriented KDS9c, quickly followed up by a competition-style 2K11 design. It’s this latter design that has been expanded upon in 2026 with the release of the company’s 2K11 Comp model, available in both standard and Pro variants. Each Kimber 2K11 Comp pistol features an integrated port compensator located just behind the muzzle end of the slide and ahead of the fiber-optic front sight. When the gun is fired, propellant gases are directed upward through the ported barrel and slide, counteracting recoil forces and keeping the muzzle flat for faster follow-up shots.…

Editor’s Introductory Warning: The devices described in this article can cause great bodily injury. We live in a highly litigious society. Employing caltrops in any situation other than a “Without Rule of Law” societal collapse would invite a lawsuit that could potentially cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or perhaps even more than a million dollars in assessed damages, attorney fees, and court costs. There is also the potential for these to be stepped on inadvertently by family members, friends, pets, or livestock.  So, ONLY use them in absolute extremis, and only in a fenced-off area that will prevent the…

My state boasts one of the longest rifle seasons in the country. While there are a few “primitive weapon” seasons scattered throughout on public lands, folks can gun hunt on private land from the weekend before Thanksgiving to the end of January. That’s two and a half months of gun season for you folks up North that complain about the orange armies flooding the woods for a whole week or two. With nearly a quarter of the year dedicated to gun season, you’d think most hunters could kill a deer from the hip, but that’s just not the case.After working…
