Once thought of as just a range toy, the large-format pistol gained new life with the introduction of the pistol brace. While the final disposition of that device is up for grabs at the time of this writing, what’s not in contention is the popularity of these larger pistols. Century Arms | AP51Based on the iconic HK51 PDW, this large-format pistol packs a punch while staying true to its Cold War roots. Roller-lock operated, it sports a Navy-pattern ambidextrous safety selector. An included claw-mount rail makes adding modern optics a cinch, without losing that classic look. ▶Navy-style grip assembly▶H&K-pattern front…

Probably the easiest way to add a red dot sight to your factory non-MOS Glock is to just buy an aftermarket slide for it. Plenty of companies make these, but SilencerCo has just thrown its hat into the ring as well with the SCO Slide.Designed for Gen 1-3 Glock 19s, the SCO Slide is being launched with three variants available each with a different optic footprint—RMR, ACRO and 509T. The best part is the SCO Slide allows for direct-mounting red dots, so there’s no need for an optics plate. The machined slides are made from corrosion-resistant 17-4 stainless steel and…

He could have called it the Chisor. Or the Risel. Or the Chazor. But thankfully, the sheer insanity that drove mechanic turned knife designer Jon Graham to combine a razor and a chisel soon departed, as his senses returned in time for him to sensibly name it the Razel. I know we have given away a couple of Razel family knives, but I don’t have personal experience with them. Thoughts? Read the whole thing at GearPatrol.com     Read the full article here

Jack Wolf’s newest project hit the streets last week, a collaboration fixed blade called the Prickly Pear. The Pear should go down smoothly for anybody who is a fan of the EDC fixed blade concept, or nice leather sheaths. Within the EDC fixed blade sub-genre, there’s a sub-sub-genre for scalpel-style knives. It’s a concept that may seem strange at first but, when you consider that a scalpel, by its very nature, is designed to deliver a lot of cutting power in a small, ergonomics-forward format, it’s easy to see how this medical implement made the transition from the operating table…

SOF Select 25 – Strategic Sciences This photo, taken in the Strategic Sciences booth, combines two things that readers find fascinating: the Knight’s Armament Co Light Assault Machine Gun in 5.56mm and Strategic Science’s Multi Function Muzzle Device, a new suppressor technology developed in conjunction with the Irregular Warfare Technology Support Directorate. The Canadian arm of the company, Millbrook Strategic Sciences Inc, has signed a deal with CANSOFCOM for the devices and here in the US they’ve been trying them out on every NATO weapon (including those under development) they can get their hands on. Available in multiple calibers from…

Henry Repeating Arms is introducing the HUSH Series. This new line of suppressor-optimized lever-action rifles is the first release from the company’s Special Products Division (SPD), a new R&D initiative focused on forward-thinking firearms for American gun owners. The HUSH is a purpose-built platform meant to deliver the optimal solution for suppressed shooting and hunting without compromising weight and balance. Lever-action rifles have long been celebrated for their inherent balance, reliability, fast follow-up shots and more recently, their innate usefulness when used with a suppressor due to the closed action. The HUSH Series builds on those strengths by reducing the…

A couple of weeks ago Benchmade Knife Company sent out a copy of their Redstone Mini Barrage assisted open EDC blade for review, and I spent a couple of months evaluating its performance across urban and outdoor tasks as I go about my daily business. Designed by Warren Osborne, the Mini Barrage is a compact folding knife featuring Benchmade’s AXIS Assist mechanism, a CPM-S30V blade, and handle options like Richlite or Valox. This review dissects its specifications, functionality, and practical applications, which should hopefully provide a clearer assessment for EDC users, collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, or just guys who love to have…

Sitting in the dark theater with the now-famous theme music filling the air, the first time I saw Indy’s satchel, I knew I had to have one. Being 9 years old when Raiders of the Lost Ark came out, sourcing such a bag was impossible. Mom had a few old purses, though, which is one of those memories that makes me glad cellphones and social media weren’t around back then. The Woods Monkey x Blue Ridge Overland Gear Transit Bag is perhaps a little smaller than the WWII-era British MKVII gas mask bag used in the Indiana Jones films, but…
