Jeff Cooper founded the oldest and largest private firearms-training academy in the world and did more to advance the martial art of small arms than anyone in history. In his book, “To Ride, Shoot…

Additionally, there is a belt adapter to lower it below armor when worn on the belt. The Chem Cracker will be available for unit and agency…

Dodge knew all along that converting the Charger to an EV might tick off muscle car fans. After all, the concept of a muscle car with electric motors seems counterintuitive, especially with a fake exhaust soundtrack added into the mix. But early design previews looked solid, and Dodge’s typically hilarious marketing played up the controversy well. In a surprising decision, though, the new Charger will come in both fully electric and internal-combustion form. Two- and four-door variants also represent something of a hedged bet, and clearly forced compromises during the R&D process. But a recent media launch at Radford Racing…

Even if you’ve been reading the news about Hurricane Helene’s massive destruction in North Carolina, you probably haven’t heard of Old Fort. This small town of about 800 people sits just a half-hour drive east of Asheville, which received national news coverage after the tropical storm ripped through the area in September.

John Junky knew the beat-up REI Half Dome tent belonged in a museum as soon as it hit the counter of the Fairbanks, Alaska, store. The customer who brought it in told him he’d slept over a thousand nights in it. But finally, it started to delaminate, and he was ready for a change. So he’d come to cash in on the brand’s lifetime warranty. Little did he know he’d actually brought a gift to the co-op. That tent was one of the original production versions of the Half Dome from 1980. Junky, a savvy REI store manager, recognized it…
