Notable: The White House touted a Saudi investment pledge…
I believe that Smith & Wesson’s M&P M2.0 models are actually some of the most overlooked pistols when it comes to mainstream handguns that have untapped performance potential. This comes in part from the M&P M2.0’s natural grip contours, frame shape and most importantly, its “neutral” 18-degree grip angle. These attributes make it easy to grip and drive the gun while shooting and have a natural grip angle for very clean target presentations that ultimately facilitates a very clean draw and first shot on target. I also find that their slides and standard RSAs (recoil spring assemblies) track in a…

The Air Force’s F-47 fighter jet will fly some 70 percent farther without refueling than today’s F-22s, allowing tankers to stay farther from the fray—a key advantage in a potential Pacific conflict. The planned sixth-generation fighter will have a combat radius of more than 1,000 nautical miles, according to an infographic posted Tuesday on X by Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin. Combat radius refers to the distance an aircraft can travel and still have enough fuel to return to its base without refueling. The infographic pulls back the veil a tiny bit on the highly classified F-47, of which…

Bryan Fenton, who took command of SOCOM in August 2022. Chris Miller, a longtime special operator who served as acting defense secretary in the first Trump administration and remains close to the White House, also said Bradley…
