The earthquake that struck Myanmar in March 2025 left a huge impact on Yoon Myat Su Lin. The death, destruction, and fallout from that tragedy stuck with the 22-year-old Myanmar fashion student studying at Esmod Tokyo. So, Lin started thinking outside of the box — way outside of it — and began designing an outfit she’s calling the “Adaptable Shelterwear Collection.” “Seeing how suddenly people can lose their homes made me think about clothing not just as fashion, but as something that could protect and support people in emergency situations,” Lin told GearJunkie. “I wanted to imagine clothing as a portable shelter…

He grew up on an Oregon ranch, trapping gophers and working as a pack horse hunting guide in high school. He also wrestled so well that he moved to Norway for a year to train professionally.  His career choices varied after that. He earned a college scholarship for riding rodeo broncos, and paid the rest of his tuition by working as…

Circumnavigating the suppressor world is a tough road to travel. Which is why CANCON has become such an invaluable asset to this niche in the firearms world. The world’s largest fully suppressed range day evolved into an important gateway to the fastest-growing firearms accessory on the market. And in its second year at the Clinton Plantation House in Clinton, South Carolina, it was an absolute quiet riot of hushed-up shooting. More shooters than ever before learned about, perused, and — most importantly — shot some of the best suppressors available today. But going hands-on with the latest and greatest quiet…

Luth-AR recently launched a brand-new aftermarket bull-barrel option for rimfire shooters who build rifles around Ruger 10/22-pattern actions.  Luth-AR’s new Ruger 10/22 pattern bull barrel is turned from a 416 R stainless steel blank and measures 18 inches long. Its muzzle is cut for ½x28 tpi threads while its barrel twist consists of the standard rimfire 1:16-inch, ideal for 40-grain .22 LR cartridges.  Bull barrels are optimized for target-shooting applications for several reasons. First, the additional weight and heft act as ballast towards a rifle which makes them easier to hold steady. Second, the extra weight means that they’re less…

I am a fan of the Ruger Redhawk line of revolvers and have several chambered in .357 Mag., .44 Mag. and .45 Colt/.45 ACP. I also have a Super Redhawk chambered in .454 Casull. As a recent retiree, I now have time to spend time on the range shooting these revolvers. Due to the volume I am shooting, I usually shoot lighter-recoiling ammo in each of the revolvers to preserve my hands as much as anything. While at the range this past weekend, one of the more knowledgeable members of my club came over to visit and see what I…
