AUSA 26 – High-Cut NG-IHPS Helmet Is Coming
I stopped by the Gentex booth and they were exhibiting a high cut version of the Next Gen Integrated Head Protection System helmet issued by the US Army. Apparently, during last month’s Maneuver Conference at Fort Benning, the Army announced plans to move forward with a high cut design afte...

The Word You Were Looking For Was ‘Prevented’
If we’re going to be making leading declarations like “understand the difference,” then let us please be precise? This post, anonymized by me for the poster’s privacy (I have no desire for readers to go harass someone over their lukewarm hot take), was in regards to the re...
COG: Build the Echelon Your Way

POTD: The San Tan Tactical Valley 9
When a company famous for AR-15s and drop-in triggers decides to build a pistol, it feels a bit like a respected engine tuner rolling out its own car. You expect it to be quick, and you expect the details to be right. This is TFB's Photo of the Day, and the “car” in question is t...
The Rimfire Report: FarrowTech's FT17 PDW Kit (First Impressions)
Last time I talked about FarrowTech, we took a look at his Ruger Mark IV 22R PDW Kit back in August. My only real complaint about the Mark IV chassis upgrade had nothing to do with the build itself, but with how far behind the Mark IV is in modern 22LR pistol development. The Ruger Mark ser...
