Former President Donald Trump’s “battle cry” was “Make America Great Again.” What’s wrong with a great America? iStock-485335286Some Second Amendment supporters claim that President Trump has not done anything to support Second Amendment rights.

This is a momentous episode! First, I didn’t think, or know, that there would ever be 250 episodes of RSWC. I started the show with an idea, a couple of GoPros, and no knowledge of video editing. Second, that I’d ever get John Correia on the show! I got to have Neil (#116) and Stephanie (#112) Weidner on the show back in 2021. They both work at Active Self Protection. We’ve had an ongoing joke that I had them on, but didn’t want to have John. This year at SHOT, we made it happen.John grew up in
I remember waking up on 25 April, 1980 to news reports about an accident in the desert of Iran involving US aircraft and hints of a failed rescue attempt of American hostages. You’ll often hear references to “Desert One” and discussion of a failed mission into Iran that occurred 46 years ago. That was the […]

I’ll be thinking of you as your sun rises and you honor your heroes and I want to thank you for being a friend and standing shoulder-to-shoulder. As we did on that beach in Kuwait, I’ll tip back a pint (or three) this day in memory of all the ANZAC troops, from World War One’s […]
When Glock announced the sixth generation of its iconic striker-fired polymer pistol series in December 2025, the firearms community responded with the usual mix of cautious interest and the usual skepticism. For me, the release was really bad timing, as I had just bought another G45 Gen 5. Was this a genuine leap forward, or just a facelift on an already mature platform? I decided the best way to answer that question wasn't a bench test or a controlled range session. It was to throw a bran

Exclusivity is often claimed, but rarely defined. The Caracal 2011 UAE 50th Anniversary was produced in a single run of just 50 pistols, each marked with a unique serial number from UAE01 to UAE50. These were made available only through a controlled release, with early allocation tied to ADIHEX 2021 and no repeat of those commemorative serials. Beyond the numbering, the build itself reflects a different approach compared to standard production pistols. Let’s take a closer look at the detail

The Winchester Model 120 was the same thing as the Model 1200, just cheapened down a bit for mass market sales. Note the corncob forend (yuck!) and cheaper wood. [Zac K.]The Winchester Model 1200 is a bit of a paradox. In my experience, these shotguns generally work pretty well; they’re easy to fix, they’re light, and they are affordable. You’d think they’d be popular, but they aren’t. Not with gun keeners, at least; gun writers and dedicated enthusiasts seem to have little interest in them
