Firearm: Springfield Armory TRP 1911 AOS 9 mm (MSRP: $1,999) Springfield Armory added several 9 mm chamberings to the TRP line in 2025, and we’ve chosen the 4.25-inch barrel, AOS-equipped version for today’s kit. This is a marked departure for Springfield Armory, as all previous TRP pistols have been chambered in .45 ACP, providing yet another data point toward the ubiquity of 9 mm. Fear not, those who prefer their 1911s in .45 ACP, there are plenty of TRP variants in the old standard. Sizewise, the TRP 1911 is well-suited for concealed carry. The 4.25-inch barrel gives the pistol an…

Delegates from more than 60 nations to include the King of Jordan Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine and current and retired senior military leaders attended Special Operations Forces Week, May 6-9, 2025, in Tampa, Florida. The conference had 52 speakers, with 23,000 in attendance. “Looking out at this crowd, I’m reminded of the First SOF Truth: ‘humans are more important than hardware.’ More than any other military formation, SOF is about people,” said Hegseth. “It starts and ends with troops downrange, but…

SAN DIEGO – 08 May 2025 – The UK’s Military Aviation Authority has issued a Military Type Certificate to the Royal Air Force’s Protector RG Mk1 uncrewed aircraft, also designated the MQ-9B, certifying that it has passed a rigorous airworthiness assessment and verifying it’s safe to operate without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. This April 29 decision was a first-of-its-kind milestone for a large, unmanned aircraft system. It’s a huge accomplishment for the UK and a technological watershed in the history of unmanned aircraft systems. GA-ASI is the first manufacturer of large, unmanned aircraft to receive an MTC based…

A big overland camper, a family of four, spring break week, and the American Southwest is a combo made in heaven. The Rossmönster Baja Trail LX provided comfortable travel and RV camping in beautiful remote areas where only high-clearance vehicles can access. Hard-sided recreational vehicles (RVs) have proven to be great for sticking to paved road adventures — like touring the National Parks. And for good reason. It’s incredibly convenient to just pull up to camp, maybe pop out a side slide and be done. That leaves more time for hiking and exploring. But there are so many beautiful places…

Learn More The REI Co-op today revealed the results of its annual election to fill seats on its board of directors, and supporters of co-op workers’ union efforts are claiming a major victory. Despite REI’s nominating and governance committee approving three candidates put forth by co-op leadership (two incumbents and one new director) and leaving two union-backed candidates off the ballot, none of REI’s nominees received enough votes to win election to the board. The REI Union called the vote “historic.” It said the 115,000-member votes…

For decades, the southern face of Mount Everest has been the preferred route to the world’s highest summit. The Nepalese government, which controls this side of the mountain, reliably kept it open to foreign climbers. And the country’s native Sherpas proved adept as climbing porters who could shoulder the burden of large expeditions. But there’s more than one way to the roof of the world. Everest’s northern side, located in China, should become the new normal for large expeditions to the summit, argues Adrian Ballinger, the leader of Alpenglow Expeditions. Ballinger, one of the world’s most accomplished alpinists, moved his…
