The next issue featuring Tyler Toney of Dude Perfect, is about to drop! Also, it’s a Special Edition: The State of the Modern Outdoorsman. This isn’t just another release. It’s the definitive look at where the outdoor lifestyle is headed and who is shaping it next. We break down the shift. A new generation that’s self-taught, digitally driven, and influenced by culture as much as the field. But while discovery happens online, what actually lasts is physical. In a world of endless scroll, this is the issue that gets kept, shared, and revisited. The one that defines the moment. If you want to understand where the outdoors is going next, this is where you start!

Some guns show up… and some change everything. The Glock 17 didn’t ask for attention; it took it by doing things better, simpler, and more reliably than anything else at the time. Lightweight, high-capacity, and built to run when it mattered, it reset expectations across the board. Decades later, you’re still seeing its DNA in everything that followed.

Let’s be honest. The IRS doesn’t send that refund so you could “save it.” They send it so you could buy a new rifle, stock up on ammo, and convince yourself it was a smart financial decision. We hunted down the best firearm, ammo and gear deals across the web so you don’t have to.

While everyone else is busy announcing “the next big thing,” Federal’s over here doing something way less flashy… making what already works even better. The 2026 lineup is all about consistency, cleaner shooting, and loads that feel tuned for how people actually run their guns today. It’s not the kind of upgrade you brag about… it’s the kind you notice halfway through a box when everything just feels dialed.

Fiocchi’s Covert X isn’t just “range ammo”… it’s built with purpose, and you feel it in a Walther. Flat-shooting, consistent, and clean enough to keep the gun running without the usual grime buildup. Pair that with Walther’s tight ergonomics and trigger, and the whole setup starts to feel effortless… quick follow-ups, predictable recoil, and rounds landing where you expect them.

The Echelon 4.0FC feels like Springfield figured out where the sweet spot is and built a pistol around it. It takes the compact 4.0-inch slide and barrel, then pairs it with the full-size frame, so you get the control and capacity of a bigger gun without the extra bulk up top. Add in the modular COG system, direct-mount optic setup, strong texture, and 17+1 or 20+1 capacity, and it reads less like a minor variation and more like a purpose-built answer for guys who want one pistol to cover a lot of ground.

You don’t need to explain yourself. A clean hat says enough. The Hook & Barrel Major League Snapback was built for range days, long drives to the lease, and the occasional bar where someone asks, “Where’d you get that?”
