Fire starting dates back to the art of rubbing two sticks together, but it works best under opportune conditions. Flint and steel were common in the kit of colonial Americans and popular trade items to native peoples in the interior. In more remote areas, chert could be substituted for flint, so long as it was…
The light rifle concept dates back to World War II, but the search for the ideal platform to put it into practice continues. Mindful of the German bewegungskrieg that stunned Western Europe in 1940, the US Army realized that there the rear-line troops were a thing of the past. Truck drivers, radio operators, cooks, and…
If you’re like me, you don’t always carry a bag or purse. If anything, your pockets are your purse. It’s quick and convenient, plus you can’t lose your pockets like you can lose a purse! However, keeping things organized is not an easy task when you only have so much space. That’s where the PLATY…

Keep in mind now, these are the folks who invented the flamethrower to cook their fellow man alive. Undeniably, the shotgun is the king of shoulder-fired weapons…
It doesn’t get any more Western than the Galco 1880 holster and Western Cartridge Belt, or as I like to call it, the gunslinger getup. The American West has long captured imaginations. From dusty showdowns at high noon to horseback chases across rugged terrain, the “outlaw days” have been immortalized in film, folklore, and fashion.…

Small-framed snubnose revolvers continue to sell in the age of the Microcompact Nine, particularly the Smith & Wesson’s J Frame models. There is a good reason for that.
