We first started to see semi-automatic, micro-compact pistols hit the marketplace about 30 years ago. These pistols were easy to conceal, but they also had magazines that held six to eight rounds, far less than larger compact 9mm pistols could carry. That changed in 2018, and all of sudden a small pistol with a 3-inch barrel could carry 11 rounds, and the race to increase the capacity of a micro-compact pistol was on. However, almost all of those guns were polymer-framed, striker-fired guns, just like their larger cousins, which means that they are easy to carry and easy to use.…

By Tom Laemlein Posted in #History At the end of the 19th Century, France’s “Canon de 75 modèle 1897” represented a breakthrough in modern artillery. During World War I, the rapid-fire French 75 (or “Soixante-Quinze”) was considered the best field gun of the war, and gave Allied armies an edge in battlefield firepower, as artillery became the leading killer in the conflict. The 75mm guns served French, Belgian, and American forces, firing high explosive, shrapnel, and poison gas shells at up to 30 rounds per minute over short periods, and about four rounds per minute for extended bombardments.…

Everyday carry includes daily essentials like wallets, watches, sunglasses, multitools, and pocket knives. This gift guide includes these staples and related accessories. And since travel often requires getting the most with the least, we’ve tossed in some handy, travel-friendly essentials as well. Daily items tend to live atop a dresser or side table to keep within reach while getting ready. Others, like luggage and backpacks, aren’t quite daily-use items but are equally dear to those who travel and commute often. Below, you’ll find gear our editors have grown attached to — despite testing the latest and greatest for a living.…

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump nominated former New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The nomination has added fuel to the nation’s long-running fight over how public lands should be managed. The BLM oversees 245 million acres of surface land and nearly three times that in mineral rights, making its director one of the most influential figures in American conservation. Pearce’s record signals what’s likely ahead: a focus on resource development, local control, and reduced federal restrictions on public land use. That would also dovetail with the White House’s current plans to undo conservation…

True confession. I’m a mainlander living in a mountain state, and I’m reviewing a tide tracking watch. But I’m also an Oregonian expat who makes a yearly pilgrimage home, introducing the coast of my youth to my own child. Brackish water pumps deep in the veins. Being an inlander unplugs you from coastal time. It’s a gap of intuition, a broken circadian clock that fails to grasp the basics of when high or low tide rolls in or out. Locals have it. I no longer do. And I’ve spent time (and money) on beaches in Oregon, Washington, and far corners…
