Though it’s certainly possible for the items in our lives to suddenly and catastrophically give up the ghost, we often benefit from a number of clues that indicate something might go wrong. Live long enough, and you’ll probably have to deal with a phone charger that needs to be at just the ri...
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have an early American take on the double action revolver. This is a prototype Josiah Ells center hammer percussion revolver in 31 caliber, made around 1854 and built to the design in U.S. Patent 11,419, granted to Ells of Pittsburgh on August 1s...
Finely embellished handguns are a thing of the past, right? Nobody goes in for engraving and other fancy-pants finishes anymore, right? Wrong. Uh, sort of. The Korth Dreadnought is an example of an old idea reborn for the 2020s, although it is a far cry from the work that F.W. Martin used to do a...

Galco has rolled out the Combat Master 2.0, an updated take on its long-running Combat Master pancake belt holster, and the lineup now includes a fit for the Glock 17.
Back in July I spent some time with the Springfield Armory SA-35 Polished Blued and walked away a fan of that blue and walnut combo. This spring Springfield rolled out a 4″ version of the SA-35, and now that shorter gun gets the same polished treatment, so naturally I had to see if trimming...
Springfield Armory is adding one more SA-35 to the 2026 lineup, and anyone who has been following the line this year could probably see it coming. The new SA-35 4″ 9mm Polished Blued takes the shortened slide from the matte 4″ model and pairs it with the deep polished finish that debu...
Beretta isn’t running out of ideas for celebrating the year of their 500th anniversary. Like with the SO10 EELL History, again we’re looking at an art piece in the shape of a shotgun. This time we don’t have one masterpiece, but a pair of identical twins.
