When you hear the term self-defense, it’s natural to think that only men should need to worry about how they defend themselves. However, women are also susceptible to violence and other threats.

SOFREP is back: You asked for it, now you’ve got it

That’s right – SOFREP is back. What began in 2012 as a small military blog quickly grew into a leading source for all-things related to Special Operations Forces (SOF), Foreign Policy, and Defense news.

Worst War Movies Ever | Don’t Waste Your Time on These Stinkers

Back in May around Memorial Day, we listed some of our favorite War Films that are guaranteed to entertain and keep your interest.

Which style of sights do you want on your EDC handgun?

Pistol sights are an interesting topic, they come in all shapes, sizes, and preferentially vary between individual needs or desires.
