XS Sights is answering a pretty obvious question with the R3D 2.0 for the PSA Dagger Micro : if you're carrying a subcompact that's built for fight-now defensive work, why settle for factory sights in low light? The answer is you shouldn't, and XS has equipped the Dagger Micro with night sights that actually deliver on the promise.

AS Val: The Soviet 9x39mm Silent Assault Rifle

by Ian McCollum in Forgotten Weapons on 2026-07-08T13:27:36Z

The AS (Special Assault rifle) Val was one of two dedicated silenced rifles developed in Russia in the 1980s. The Val was intended for assault use with full auto firing, while the VSS (Special Sniper [...]

Colt Optics is playing for keeps with the LP5X-P, a weapon-mounted aiming laser that skips the usual "first generation" stumble and walks into battle-tested. Built in partnership with Brolis Defence, this unit has already been standardized and fielded across NATO forces, which means the US version you're looking at now isn't some designer's fever dream; it's earned its stripes in the field.

The trans tide is turning in the UK

Interestingly enough, the new British health secretary is now saying that biological sex is more important than gender ideology.

1970s Music - Frank Zappa

by Glenn B in BALLSEYE'S BOOMERS on 2026-07-08T06:51:55Z

I saw Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention 4 times,, always in NYC. That was at two concerts at the Palladium and two at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden and always on the night before Halloween. He and the Mothers of Invention were absolutely1970s fantastic. His songs usually told a story, for example Mudshark (the complete medley including Happy Together).

Turn up the volume and enjoy. By the way, this song is not for snowflakes of any ilk. If you are easily offended by weird raunchy sexual innuendo descriptive language, listen to it at the peril of you melting down. I readily admit, this is one of my favorite Zappa songs.

Are Custom Holsters Worth It?

by TFB Staff in The Firearm Blog on 2026-07-08T00:00:00Z

There comes a time in most people’s lives when they start looking for exactly what they want instead of just what is available. With the benefit of experience and some additional disposable income, many experienced shooters start seeking out custom solutions that match their needs precisely. This is true in the world of holsters, too. FALCO Holsters offers custom holsters  configured for a specific pistol or revolver, including combinations with more than 160 weapon lights and lasers. Depending on the selected model, customers can choose options such as sweat guard height, adjustable retention, cant, handedness, belt width, leather color, stitching, edge color, decorative underlays, and more. That is an extensive level of customization, but are these options necessary? Let’s look at why you should (or should not) consider a custom holster.

Her Too

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2026-07-07T22:01:21Z

I don't know if you have been watching this train wreck of a Senate rave in Maine, but it got more interesting today when some woman accused the Democrat nominee of rape.

I have questions.  Why now? As a police officer of 37 years, I know that these cases are easier to sole the sooner they are reported.  Allegedly, this occurred in 2021, which is five years past.  Why now? The cynical answer is that she is making these accusations as part of a political calculation.  But that would be extremely tacky.

The non-cynical answer is that she was devastated after the attack and has gone through years of therapy to regain her sense of self-worth.  She is now ready to come forward. Has she yet gone to the police?  Have warrants been sworn?

The timing is suspect and deserves more than a few answers.

CrossBreed's newly announced fitments for the Staccato HD C4X tell a familiar story in the holster market: a compact carry gun draws ecosystem attention once it proves itself in the field. The C4X, the compact aluminum-frame version of Staccato's compensated platform, landed well enough in its first iteration that it's now attracting the depth of support usually reserved for flagships. Which makes sense, because a hard-use carry gun like the C4X demands holster solutions that match its versatility.
Leupold's Mark 250 Limited Edition package launches during America's 250th anniversary year, and it's built around one of the company's most capable modern combat optics paired with a secondary red dot in a complete box, something that actually matters for working rifles. The package is exclusive to Scheels  and capped at exactly 250 units, each sequentially numbered and engraved with the Betsy Ross flag .
Double the guns, double the fun. A new kind of shooting competition that we just had to try!

FirstSpear - The Frogskin Collection Is Back

by Eric B in The Firearm Blog on 2026-07-07T15:00:00Z

There's a pattern in American military history that's so intrinsically tied to a specific thing that mentioning it feels like you're setting up a punchline, and yet, FirstSpear just dropped it unironically across an entire collection. The five-color disruptive pattern that the Marines called Frogskin, which made its operational debut during WWII with the Raiders in the Pacific, is officially back, and no, the marketers didn't overthink the frog thing. It's just what people called it, and after 80-some years, FirstSpear figured enough time had passed to resurrect this piece of genuine American military history without anyone cringing.

VT: Pownal - More on Intruder Shot by Resident

Vermont State Police said they were notified by Pownal Rescue Squad that members were transporting a man with a gunshot wound to Southern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington.

The burglary victims, Ryan Cote, 41, and Joyce Colegrove, 42, were at the private residence when Gardner entered and engaged in a physical dispute with both people, Detective Sgt. Jesse Robson said.

He said during the dispute, Gardner received a minor wound on his leg from a small caliber firearm.

Robson said the firearm was used in self-defense against Gardner who entered the residence uninvited and engaged in a dispute.

CRKT Drifter Liner Lock Folding Knife, by Thomas Christianson

I had two major surprises as I reviewed the Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) Drifter Liner Lock Folding Knife: one positive and one negative. The positive surprise was the durability of the gray titanium nitride finish on the blade. It showed absolutely no signs of wear after more than a month of regular use. I was very impressed. The negative surprise was the country of origin. I ordered the knife because a knife-seller’s website indicated that it was “made in Taiwan”. When the knife arrived, the words “Made in China” were clearly printed on the box. The actual CRKT …

We maintain that this counsel, as regards the elect, is founded on his free mercy, without any respect to human worth, while those whom he dooms to destruction are excluded from access to life by a just and blameless, but at the same time incomprehensible judgment.” – John Calvin

Resident Alien

by Glenn B in BALLSEYE'S BOOMERS on 2026-07-07T05:16:28Z

 Have you watched the show Resident Alien on Netflix? If not and if you like Sci-Fi, comedy, and philosophy, I think it is a must watch. 
 
Resident Alien was the best show I have watched in decades. I am truly saddened that it has come to its end. I watched the final episode tonight and even though it became obvious, during the show that it would be the finale, I must say that the ending was excellent. 
 
One other truly wonderful thing about Resident Alien were Harry's (the antagonist turned protagonist) insightful thoughts about life, living it and his philosophical musings about humanity. Not only was it Sci-Fi and a comedy, it was also a philosophical lesson about living as a human being. I will miss this show very much.

TFB Review: The Wilson Combat Experior Elite

by Matt E in The Firearm Blog on 2026-07-07T00:00:00Z

In the world of double stack 1911s, there are a number of choices at a plethora of price points. Wilson Combat has always been a leader in high-end 1911s, but has recently been moving more into the double-stack 9mm model variants. One of the most recent releases is the Experior Elite Commander and I’ve had the chance to test it out for the last few months. Let's take a closer look at the Wilson Combat Experior Elite.
Two hundred and fifty years is worth more than a flag decal, and Microtech Knives agrees. The North Carolina OTF maker dropped a limited-edition Hera II to commemorate the Semiquincentennial, dressed in patriotic Cerakote and paired with a double-edge Apocalyptic finish blade that carries the kind of character you'd expect from a milestone piece.
I'll admit up front that I've become one of those guys who can't stop doing math on the amount of money I haven’t spent recently on tax stamps, which is a strange sentence to type, but here we are.

On an SUV:
Emotional Support Vehicle 
America's 250th anniversary has inspired countless tributes, most of them unfortunately destined for dusty shelves. POF-USA's Rogue 250 is different, a limited-edition pistol that actually exists to be used, not just admired. Built on the company's battle-tested direct-impingement Rogue platform and finished in an exclusive FS Sabre Sand and Blue Titanium Cerakote by CGC Cerakote, the Rogue 250 manages the rare feat of combining collector appeal with genuine capability. That's harder to pull off than it sounds.
Staccato is making a smart move with the new HD P4X, and it's a response to market demand that's been building since the compact C4X started gaining traction in the concealed carry space. While the C4X uses an aluminum frame to keep weight down, the HD P4X swaps that for a full-size steel frame and grip, making it explicitly a professional and duty-oriented gun. The 4-inch compensated barrel stays the same, but everything else scales up for shooters who aren't worried about printing on a belt line.

Preliminary information: On Friday, July 3, 2026, at approximately 11:20 a.m., Atlanta police responded to 859 Oak St. NW regarding a person shot call. Upon arrival, officers located a male suffering from two gunshot wounds. Officers quickly detained one male at the scene, while the other male, 38-year-old Brandon Harper, was transported to the hospital alert, conscious, and breathing.

During their preliminary investigation, officers determined there had been a verbal dispute between Harper and the detained male. Investigators determined Harper was the primary aggressor and had fired a firearm multiple times at the detained male. The detained male, who was uninjured, returned fire in self-defense, striking Harper twice.

Additionally, investigators determined Harper is a convicted felon and was wanted on multiple outstanding warrants. Harper was charged accordingly in connection with this incident and will be transported to the Fulton County Jail upon his discharge from the hospital. The other male will not face any charges.

Please keep in mind that the information released is preliminary in nature and could change as the investigation progresses or new information comes to light.

Investigators said the shooting happened outside a business known as the JV Ranch Ice House. Deputies interviewed witnesses who told them the victim had been involved in a verbal argument that escalated into a physical confrontation with another man.

Witnesses told detectives the victim then got into his vehicle and drove toward the other man. The other man fired one shot into the vehicle, striking the driver. The vehicle then crashed, and the driver was transported to the hospital, authorities said.
