With the passenger rear tire hanging 18 inches off the ground, I slowly — carefully — descend a 30-degree slope. As the view from the windshield shifts from sky to ground, and all four wheels take purchase of the rocky gravel terrain, hill descent control takes over, and the CR-V TrailSport manages the short but steep slope with ease. Yes, the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport very much qualifies as a mainstream crossover. But, new tires and a few software tricks make it a surprisingly capable one. This CR-V off-roader departs from the recent book of TrailSport tricks. For example, it’s…

In 2025, armed citizens enjoy a broader variety of defensive-handgun choices than ever before. In terms of guns commonly available at your local gun counter, off-the-shelf handgun accuracy and reliability is as high as it has ever been. It’s a wonderful development that firearms manufacturers are producing such a broad array of makes and models that function reliably, but this has led to neglect of foundational gun-handling skill in the average person’s practice routine: malfunction drills. Despite production handguns being more reliable than ever, I believe occasionally practicing malfunction drills remains an important part of a quality practice routine and…

Legacy Sports International, the importer for Citadel shotguns, has just introduced two new Citadel Boss 25 California compliant shotgun variants. These new shotguns consist of a model that’s finished with the American flag and a model that’s finished with a burnt bronze Cerakote finish.

By Ian Kenney Posted in #Gear In a crowded field of single-point, two-point, and three-point slings designed for combat, it’s not easy to find a simple yet functional rifle sling. That search has gotten easier with the Magpul Rifleman Loop Sling (RLS), which has design elements that harken back to the Rhodesian sling and venerable leather M1907 sling. Check out the video above for a full rundown on the features and usage of the RLS. Simplicity Is Key Upon handling the sling, I immediately appreciated that it is devoid of any quick-release buckles, fast-adjust slides, or any of…

Nostalgia amongst firearm enthusiasts typically shows up in the form of collectible guns, well-worn “shooters” with personal or historical ties and reproduction (or retro) firearms. Collectibles are wisely appreciated by eye, but seasoned keepers and reproduction arms can still be enjoyed in-hand. Sometimes, these shootable rifles can also benefit from upgrades. With the possible exception of certain bolt-action rifles, making substantive, but discreet, improvements to older or period-correct rifles can be challenging. Lever-actions are particularly tough to upgrade when trying to maintain an original look. Adding a camo dip, hammer-spur extension, paracord-wrapped lever, skeletonized stock and forearm-mounted ammunition carrier to…
