We know that when we are faced with the threat of serious bodily injury or death, our focus will be on the threat. This is not so much a conscious effort as a fact that our natural survival system has taken over. For that reason, our manipulation of our defensive equipment must be practiced until its operation and deployment almost become subconscious functions. This is the main reason so many of us caution against the continual switching back and forth of that equipment—especially our daily-carry guns. While firing the defensive shot should certainly be a conscious decision, getting the gun…

Twenty-five years is a long time to wait, but that’s how long it’s taken for Honda to finally bring back the once-iconic Prelude. Though it may boast a newer, more curvaceous design than the last coupe to make it into U.S. showrooms, the 2026 Honda Prelude doesn’t stray far from its roots as a grand tourer.

They simplify system integration and help maintain connectivity at the tactical edge. Here, Alex Raymond, European product manager…

I’ve been hooked since the moment I hopped on my first e-bike. It didn’t take long to realize that I needed a rack that could handle the extra pounds. That’s why I decided to test the new Küat Piston Ion. This beefed-up hitch bike rack offers premium security. It’s two-bike compatible and can securely hold everything from heavy e-bikes to lightweight pedal bikes. It also has an easy-to-use ramp to assist with loading. While the Piston Ion is worth the chunk of change, it’s pricey. But from my perspective, I’d already shelled out the money for an electric investment in happiness. It’s important…
