By Massad Ayoob Posted in #Guns There’s a clarity of purpose when it comes to single-action pistols like the 1911. The single-action was the first type of semi-automatic pistol, and it still remains popular through to today. Sir Winston Churchill claimed such a gun, the Mauser C96, saved his life in the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. On our side of the Atlantic, the 1911 .45 was killing America’s enemies before World War I, and did so through that conflict, as well as World War II, Vietnam, and even into the 21st century’s War on Terror. The Texas…

Following last year’s launch of the Ruger RXM, the collaborative effort that resulted in Ruger partnering up with Magpul to produce a polymer-frame, striker-fired 9 mm handgun based on the third-generation Glock G19 pistol, Magpul has now launched a full-size grip module to fit this pistol. Magpul’s original contribution to the RXM project was its EGH, the Magpul Enhanced Handgun Grip module. The original version is similar in dimension to the original Glock G19 frame size, but Magpul recently announced that it began shipping and distribution for the full size, G17-size equivalent grip module compatible with the RXM chassis.

Washington Crosses The Delaware On Christmas night in 1776, General George Washington led American patriots across the Delaware River to attack the Hessian mercenary garrison at Trenton, New Jersey; a force which was fighting for the British. You’ve likely seen Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, painted in 1851, aspirational to be sure, but modern artist Mort Kunstler created a much more likely depiction of events in his 2011 painting entitled, Washington’s Crossing. It was an audacious plan; take a force of 5400, including artillery, conduct a nighttime river crossing in a storm, and with the ultimate element of…

The places I like to hike are generally poorly blazed and aren’t easy to find on a map. That way, I get to wander around, foraging and grooming overgrown trails, with the reward of hanging my hammock without being bothered. Because of this, I need to be able to carry axes, saws, ropes, wedges, and the kind of tools most people don’t take on average day hikes. Recently, one of my favorite pack makers, Mountainsmith, has been releasing products designed to exceed the needs of the average hiker. The EVO line is made from durable materials with a focus on…

It’s been a tough few years for Nissan, the second-largest Japanese automaker struggling to reverse a series of setbacks that have forced it to make major cutbacks in production and employment around the world. For customers, of course, that’s just noise in the background, and they’re more likely to ask, “What have you done for me lately?” The good news is that the answer is, “A lot.” We’ve gotten an all-new version of the Leaf and will soon see the return of the quirky Xterra.
