The Colt Commander may not be the best fighting pistol of all time, but it’s Top 5 for sure and one of the most iconic.After World War II, the U.S. Military wanted a lighter and more compact pistol for officers to carry. So, Colt created a 1911 with a 4.25-inch barrel chambered in 9mm Luger that was built on a lightweight aluminum alloy frame. In 1950, Colt began manufacturing that pistol—known as the Commander—but they also offered it chambered for the .38 Super and the .45 Auto.Twenty years later, Colt introduced an all-steel version of this shorter-barreled 1911 called the…

Two years ago, SureFire introduced the SOCOM556-RC3 suppressor — eight long years since the iconic SOCOM556-RC2 was launched. The bombproof RC2 set the benchmark for hard-use, duty cans, following on the original RC and SureFire’s hard-fought contract with United States Special Operations Command back in 2011. We’ve grown accustomed to SureFire going through long gestation periods a la the eel-like frilled shark and its 3.5-year-long pregnancies — obsessively tweaking and iterating on improvements for many years. However, SureFire has just released its latest and greatest cans, the SOCOM-4 series, after just two years. Designed as a fighting suppressor for hard…

The best everyday carry knife is a matter of opinion. I can’t make up my mind – it depends on what I’m doing, where I’m going and what might be happening that day. A Swiss Army Knife Tinker is in in my pocket virtually every day, and my knife system builds from that. I carry a four-inch blade rigid knife in my vehicle, along with an ESSE Junglas. But an automatic knife was never under consideration. An automatic knife is a knife that opens itself when the user pushes a button. A loaded spring, either a coil spring  or a…

If you’re a backpacker who doesn’t ski or snowboard, winter can be a tough time. You’re stuck inside, with the cold, icy weather keeping you from the trail. As a backpacker and climber who lives in the Midwest, come January, I’m almost too stir crazy to function. In a select few places, however, winter can actually be a backpacking paradise. ‘Tis the season to backpack through desert environments whose unbearably hot temps finally dip down into the “normal” range. And if you can make it to Southern California, you’re in store for a stunning hike in the dead of winter.…

I’d never been to a 106th birthday party before. So I was not going to miss Klaus Obermeyer’s — even if that meant crashing it. After all, the man is a legend in the American ski industry. He was responsible for innovating technologies like dual-pane goggle lenses, high-altitude sunscreen, and down parkas. He was one of Aspen’s first ski instructors. His brand (and name) has become synonymous with ski culture over the last 50 years. Obermeyer’s legacy runs deep, and he’s still giving back. To celebrate his 106th birthday, his brand is fundraising for the nonprofit Protect Winter Foundation. Even…
