The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has stopped work on a nationwide gray wolf recovery plan that it instituted just last year. The agency says the two wolf groups that remain listed under the Endangered Species Act no longer require a federal recovery roadmap. USFWS released an exception finding that removes the requirement for a federal recovery plan for the “44-State entity” and the “Minnesota entity.” The agency’s full rationale appears in the official FWS exception findings report. The agency said current data show both groups have reached a point where a recovery plan would not improve their conservation…

Dayton, OH — Genesis Rescue Systems, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic rescue tools used in the fire service across the United States, is now fully Berry Amendment compliant, allowing for procurement within U.S. Government and Department of War programs. Berry compliance, which requires that products purchased by the DoW be sourced, manufactured, and assembled in the United States, positions Genesis Rescue Tools for immediate eligibility in federal purchasing channels, including military, and federal contracting sectors. “With Berry compliance in place, we are no longer limited to the fire service” said Spencer Howell for Genesis. “We can now compete head-to-head for…

Back in 1980, Pete Gerber teamed up with knifemaker Blackie Collins to rethink the classic lockback folder. Their goal was simple: build a lighter, more useful everyday knife. The result was the Gerber LST — a synthetic-scaled, lockback pocketknife that helped define modern EDC. The LST quickly became an American staple, right alongside the Buck 110s and Case slipjoints favored on porches and in tackle boxes across the country. Its formula was straightforward: durable steel, featherweight handles, and a no-nonsense profile that just worked. Forty-five years later, that blueprint evolves into the new LST Ultra. Still made in the USA…

Shoe company R.A.D (Rally Against Destruction) is breaking into the fitness apparel market with shirts, tights, and shorts. Standing out in an already crowded market isn’t easy, but R.A.D has already done so with its excellent ONE V1 and ONE V2 training shoes (check out my review of the R.A.D ONE V2 training shoe), and it looks like the company’s Superweave Training Short ($68) is poised to do the same.  Gym shorts aren’t complicated. If they’re comfortable, stretchy enough to move with you, and fairly durable, they’ll work in a gym. So, when it comes to a piece of apparel…

By Mike Boyle Posted in #Skills In the 21st century, use of force training for law enforcement officers has become especially challenging. Today’s officers are expected to be proficient in a wide range of control options, use sound judgment, and have a thorough understanding in the judicious use of force. There is simply no getting around the fact that training represents a big piece of the budget for all law enforcement agencies in both time and resources, but it can be a very steep hill to climb for the smaller departments. Unlike what we typically see in motion…

Hello, Shooting Illustrated fans! This is Mel Dixon, Managing Editor for SI’s sister magazine, America’s 1st Freedom, where we bring you all the details about Second Amendment politics. We like to talk about guns and gear, too, though. For today’s “I Carry,” I’m going into some of the pros and cons of the Ruger Security 380, which is one I find myself recommending a lot. A holster from a manufacturer you surely know and great little knife from a manufacturer you might’ve never heard of will round out this kit. Firearm: Ruger Security 380 (MSRP: $369) There are two primary…
