Foxtrot Mike Products is expanding its VFM-9 line with two new dedicated 9mm PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine/SBR [Short Barreled Rifle]/large format pistol upper receivers for AR-pattern lowers which use Glock magazines.

You get an RV to take in the journey and immerse yourself in the destination.  When you travel down the blacktop of America’s highways and turn down the less-traveled scenic byways, your slower pace is rewarded with often-missed views: the sunrise over red rock desert in Utah, or snow geese migrating through Pennsylvania in the spring.  Once you get to where you’re going, you get to explore the area exactly how…

When the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hoody ($380) first launched 13 years ago, it redefined what an ultralight down jacket could be. At just over half a pound, it quickly became the go-to layer for ounce-counters and alpine minimalists — including GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold, who first tested the icon in 2013. Over the years, he took it from ice climbs around Lake Superior to winter bike commutes on a studded-tire fixie and was impressed with how well it performed during high-output activities and across seasons. Today, with dozens of rivals in the ultralight category, it’s fair to ask: Does…

XS Sights has launched a version of its XS Minimalist night sights compatible with Heckler & Koch’s CC9 pistols, making them one of the few aftermarket sight options for this new compact 9mm carry pistol. The CC9 is Heckler & Koch’s polymer-frame, striker-fired micro-9mm double-stack pistol. While this gun has a similar form and function to many of its peers, the protocols and standards it had to pass is what sets this handgun apart. Heckler & Koch subjected all CC9 test prototypes to the same reliability and durability standards as its full-size, duty-oriented pistols like the HK P30 and the…

By Richard Johnson Posted in #History German anti-tank weapons played a critical role in the Wehrmacht’s efforts to counter the growing power of Allied armored forces during World War II. From the invasion of Poland in 1939 through the final battles of 1945, Germany fielded a wide variety of anti-tank systems to address the evolving challenges posed by increasingly well-armored enemy vehicles. These ranged from traditional artillery pieces and infantry-carried rocket launchers to magnetic charges, improvised explosives, and even remote-controlled demolition vehicles. As the war progressed and enemy armor became thicker and more resistant, Germany’s anti-tank doctrine…

Although the US military selected and fielded its first truly modular pistol, so far they haven’t taken advantage of the possibilities associated with the SIG P320 platform. All that is about to change. Not long after the contract win SIG put together a custom version of the M18 which I called a SOPMOD pistol at the time. At the time, USSOCOM was keen to move on from their Special Operations Peculiar upgrades to the M4 carbine as it had become an Army common weapon and grated at my appellation. Likewise, the Army hadn’t started fielding yet and wasn’t ready to…

The second part of optimizing the small frame EDC revolver is to use appropriate accessories for carrying it. This includes holster, belt, reloading device, and training aids. Concealed carry is a system of handgun, accessories, and shooter. Get the gear that makes them all work together. Even with a lightweight handgun like a snub revolver, a good holster makes a world of difference in terms of comfort, convenience, and accessibility. Whether you choose to carry inside the waistband, on the belt outside the waistband, in a pocket or off body in a purse or other method, a high-quality rig to…
