Mossberg 590 Shockwave Nightstick (MSRP: $700)  Range toy or serious defensive firearm? Opinions on these “firearms” are somewhat mixed. I can’t make up your mind for you, but I can describe how I started to appreciate what firearms like the Mossberg Shockwave can bring to the party. I am a defensive shotgun nerd. I’m certified by Rangemaster to teach defensive shotgun and do so regularly. I’ve attended classes in the defensive scattergun from 360 Performance Shooting and others, and my home defense gun is a tricked-out Mossberg 590.  As a result, I approached this assignment with a few thousand grains…

Well well well, we’ve got back-to-back KA-BAR stories here at KnifeNews. Earlier this week we talked about the Les George-designed Cool Name Knife; today we’re taking a look at the Slabby, an overbuilt tribute to the most famous KA-BAR release of them all. The USMC Fighting Knife is to KA-BAR as the 110 Folding Hunter is to Buck: it is the knife that comes to mind when the company is mentioned, and, just like the 110 gets called the “Buck knife,” the USMC is sometimes called simply a “KA-BAR.” With a history that goes back to the World War II,…

FORT BLISS, Texas – No matter where Soldiers are deployed, from the jungles of the Pacific to the deserts of the Middle East, the performance of their weapons and gear is paramount. Given the U.S. Army’s extensive history of operating in harsh, arid environments, it’s essential that the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) system be rigorously tested under extreme heat conditions. In the desert heat of Fort Bliss, TX, where temperatures averaged over 100?F, Project Manager Soldier Lethality (PM SL) and the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) conducted the Hot Weather Test for the M7 Rifle, M250 Automatic Rifle,…

Learn More At a swanky private soirée ahead of this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Lucid Motors unveiled a new off-road concept based on the fully electric Gravity SUV. It’s dubbed, somewhat unimaginatively, the Gravity X (or Cross). As usual, the concept car appears to test the water as much as anything else. To my eye, the Gravity looks much better all kitted out. So hopefully, customer (and media) responses will wind up positive enough to urge Lucid on toward true production. Lucid Gravity X Concept…

Few luxury brands have made a bigger commitment to going all-electric than Cadillac. General Motors’ flagship luxury brand already has five EVs on the market, and while it’s stretching out the timeline for phasing out its last gas-powered model, we can expect to see even more battery-electric products in the next few years. That’s where two edgy show cars come in: last year’s Opulent Velocity prototype, now followed by the Cadillac Elevated Velocity Concept set to make its debut in Monterey, Calif., during the annual automotive extravaganza anchored by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Take Caddy’s $340,000 Celestiq, give it…

Here we take a look at some of the top options on the market today.Designed in 1887, the .22 Long Rifle (LR) is arguably one of the most popular cartridges ever invented, and for good reasons.
