Dead Air and Medford have carved out their own lanes in their respective markets: one built on precision sound suppression, the other on knives engineered like they’re designed to outlast their owners.

If you have spent any amount of time on the range with a KelTec P17 , you already know it looks like it fell out of a prop bin on a low-budget sci-fi set. The telltale signs of a KelTec’s typical clamshell polymer construction and boxy lines have earned it comparisons to everything from a Nerf gun to a prop from a video game nobody can quite put their finger on. FarrowTech decided to stop […]

At the end of the 1890s, John Moses Browning was in a weird place. He’d had a hand in designing many classic lever-action rifles (and even shotguns!) over the past years, but he realized that without some big changes to the design, lever-actions would lose a lot of market share to bolt actions. Tube mag lever guns were not suited for pointed spitzer-style bullets, which European bolt action […]

When I started carrying and trying various holsters and setups, one product that kept being mentioned to me was the PHLster Enigma. I finally purchased the Enigma a couple years into my concealed carry journey. I wish I had purchased it much earlier, as it quickly became my go-to setup.

The Brigade Speciale Beveiligingsopdrachten emerged from necessity. In 1975, with Europe rattled by the Munich massacre and rising terrorism, Major General E.N.
