Upcoming Review: The MANTIS TITAN-X Smart Laser Training Pistol

MANTIS TITAN-X Review

Get ready to level up your living room tactical game because my review of the Mantis Titan-X is locked, loaded, and heading your way soon! Mantis has spent years turning the “dry fire is boring” crowd into data-obsessed sharpshooters, pioneering everything from the movement-analyzing MantisX sensors to the legendary Blackbeard auto-resetting trigger system for rifles. They’ve essentially become the “personal trainers” of the firearms world—minus the protein shakes and plus a lot more lasers. The Titan-X is their latest flex: an inert, smart training pistol that mimics the feel of your favorite blaster (like a Glock 19 or 17) while giving you a realistic, resetting trigger and instant laser feedback. Stay tuned to see if this high-tech trainer is truly the secret sauce for perfect shot placement or just the ultimate way to torment your cat!

WATCHTOWER Defense Names Jordan Davis as Chief Executive Officer, Announces New Era of Growth and Innovation

 

WATCHTOWER Defense Names Jordan Davis as Chief Executive Officer, Announces New Era of Growth and Innovation

Tomball, TX (April 24, 2026) — WATCHTOWER Defense today announced the appointment of Jordan Davis as Chief Executive Officer to lead the company’s strategic direction, operational buildout, and growth initiatives.

Davis, who most recently served as Chief Growth Officer at WATCHTOWER Firearms, will lead WATCHTOWER Defense with a focus on consumer products, operational excellence, and market growth.

Jason Colosky, founder of WATCHTOWER Firearms, also joins the leadership team, overseeing foreign military and domestic government affairs while supporting the company’s strategic growth.

“Jordan has demonstrated exceptional leadership and an unmatched ability to drive growth and innovation,” said Alan Kent, one of the owners of WATCHTOWER Defense. “His vision and execution have already made a tremendous impact, and I’m confident he is the right leader to guide WATCHTOWER Defense into the future.”

WATCHTOWER Defense is a new company with new ownership, leadership, and a bold strategic direction. Central to this evolution is the company’s new state-of-the-art facility in Tomball, Texas, which provides a 50 percent increase in production space. This expansion positions WATCHTOWER to capitalize on significant growth opportunities and enhance capabilities for both production and support teams.

Under Davis’ leadership, the company will prioritize developing and launching consumer-focused products, with several new offerings scheduled for release later this year and at SHOT Show 2027.

Davis brings a proven track record of driving transformative growth and operational leadership. His prior experience includes spearheading exponential expansion—increasing sales from $3 million to $28 million in a single year, tripling the dealer network, and successfully entering international markets. He has built and led nationwide sales teams, secured distribution partnerships with major wholesalers, and implemented advanced ERP and compliance systems to streamline operations.

Prior to joining WATCHTOWER, Davis served as CEO and a Board Director of Volcon, Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN), where he led the company through its IPO, secured more than $100 million in funding, and built a global dealer and distributor network. His leadership emphasized LEAN and Kaizen methodologies, driving significant cost savings and quality improvements.

Earlier in his career, Davis served as President of Mustad Fishing (Americas), leading a successful transition to a direct-to-consumer model and achieving 48 percent annual eCommerce growth. He also held multiple leadership roles at Remington Outdoor Company, including Vice President of Marketing & Business Development, overseeing strategy and product commercialization.

Davis holds both an MBA and a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Bushnell University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. He currently serves as a board member of The Mule Deer Foundation.

“I’m honored to lead WATCHTOWER Defense at this pivotal moment,” said Davis. “With a strong foundation, an incredible team, and a clear vision for the future, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative products, expand our market presence, and build a brand that embodies performance, reliability, and excellence.”

With new leadership, expanded capabilities, and a robust product pipeline, WATCHTOWER Defense is poised for sustained growth and continued success in the years ahead.

Streamlight® Launches Portable Scene Light III With 10,000-Lumen Output and a Modular Design

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES PORTABLE SCENE LIGHT III WITH 10,000-LUMEN OUTPUT AND A MODULAR DESIGN

New Waterproof Lighting System Introduced at FDIC International

EAGLEVILLE, PA, April 23, 2026 – Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, has launched the Portable Scene Light III (PSL III), a high-output, waterproof lighting system delivering up to 10,000 lumens for fire, emergency response, military, industrial, and outdoor applications. The new system debuted at FDIC International in Indianapolis, IN.

The PSL III delivers powerful, adaptable performance featuring 12 LEDs with wide-pattern reflectors, providing uniform scene illumination and three output levels to match the task. On High, it provides 10,000 lumens and 121,000 candela for maximum scene illumination with a 2-hour run time. Medium offers 5,000 lumens and 61,000 candela for balanced output and extended 4-hour operation, while Low delivers 2,500 lumens and 38,000 candela with up to 8 hours of run time for longer-duration use.

Designed for flexibility in the field, the PSL III features a 5-in-1 modular design that can be used with or without the included tripod. The system is equipped with swappable lithium-ion batteries, along with AC and DC power options for extended operation. A quick-mount system and a single-button tripod release enables fast setup. The 360° rotating, 180° pivoting light head allows for precise positioning exactly where illumination is needed. Even when mounted on the tripod, the light remains fully rotatable, offering added flexibility to adjust the angle without repositioning on the base. An available wireless remote provides full control from up to 75 feet away and can be paired with multiple lights for synchronized operation.

A key enhancement to Streamlight’s Portable Scene Light family is the PSL III’s tripod system, which is engineered for enhanced stability, storage, and field versatility. The tripod extends up to 92 inches and features reversible feet, including spiked ends for secure placement on uneven or soft terrain and flat feet for hard surfaces. The tripod is wind-resistant up to 40 mph. Integrated battery management includes two cradles to keep backup power readily accessible. The lightweight design and built-in carry handle support easy transport and rapid deployment.

“Whether on the fireground, emergency scenes or complex worksites, reliable lighting is critical for safety, visibility, and operational efficiency,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “The Portable Scene Light III delivers high-lumen output, rapid deployment, and flexible power options to support crews in dynamic, low-light environments.”

The PSL III is IPX7-rated (waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes) with the battery installed and IPX4-rated without the battery installed. It features glove-friendly controls and a rugged, impact-resistant thermoplastic housing intended for indoor or outdoor use.

The light head measures 7.5 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 9 inches high and weighs 7.5 lbs. with included battery. The tripod collapses to 37.7 inches for transport and extends up to 92 inches with spiked feet or 88 inches with flat feet. It weighs 13.3 lbs and comes equipped with an integrated carry handle for easy transportation. The total weight of the light and tripod when mounted is 23.5 lbs.

The Portable Scene Light III system has an MSRP of $1,759 and the Portable Scene Light III – Light only has an MSRP of $1,014. Both are backed by Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The New AI That Double-Checks Its Own Answers


The New AI That Double-Checks Its Own Answers

Apr 22, 2026

(Source: iHLS)

Representational image of AI models

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

One of the main challenges with generative AI tools today is reliability. Even advanced models can produce inaccurate or misleading information, a phenomenon often referred to as “hallucination”. As these systems are increasingly used for research, analysis, and decision support, the need for built-in validation mechanisms is becoming more critical.

A new approach aims to address this issue by allowing multiple AI models to work together within a single workflow (such as a recent development in Microsoft’s Co-Pilot working with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude). Instead of relying on a single system to generate and validate content, the solution introduces a collaborative process between different models. In practice, one model produces an initial response, while another independently reviews it for accuracy, coherence, and quality before it reaches the user.

This layered method is designed to reduce errors and improve trust in AI-generated outputs. By cross-checking results in real time, the system can flag inconsistencies and refine answers before they are presented. Future iterations are expected to expand this concept further, enabling models to review each other’s outputs in both directions, creating a more dynamic validation loop.

According to Cyber News, another feature allows users to compare responses from multiple models side by side. This gives visibility into how different systems interpret the same query and helps users make more informed decisions about which output to trust. It also highlights differences in reasoning and style, which can be useful in research and analysis tasks.

From a technical perspective, this reflects a broader shift toward multi-model architectures. Instead of building larger standalone systems, developers are increasingly combining specialized models to improve overall performance, reliability, and speed. This modular approach also allows for greater flexibility as new models can be integrated over time.

While primarily aimed at enterprise and productivity use cases, the implications extend into defense and homeland security domains. Decision-making systems in these environments often rely on large volumes of data and require a high degree of accuracy. Integrating multiple AI models to validate outputs could help reduce the risk of incorrect assessments, particularly in intelligence analysis or operational planning.

As AI adoption continues to grow, approaches that emphasize verification and transparency are likely to become a key part of how these systems are deployed in both civilian and security-critical applications.

Winchester Takes on Talladega with Long Beard® XR® and NWTF

Winchester Takes on Talladega with Long Beard® XR® and NWTF

CLAYTON, MO (April 23, 2026) — Winchester Ammunition is back for Talladega with the Committed to Conservation No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. The No. 3 features Winchester Long Beard® XR®, National Wild Turkey Federation, and Bass Pro Shops. Austin Dillon, driver of the No. 3, will take on Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Super Speedway on Sunday, April 26.
Located in Lincoln, Alabama, Talladega Super Speedway is one of the most famous raceways and is often referred to as the Biggest and Baddest Track.
Viewers can catch the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) or streaming on HBO Max, and listeners can find it on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
The car prominently features a dynamic paint scheme that includes Winchester Long Beard® XR® turkey ammunition. In 2014, Winchester launched Long Beard® XR® and revolutionized turkey hunting shotshells. Long Beard® XR® offers extreme patterns and knockdown power beyond popular, heavier-than-lead loads, and delivers performance equivalent to tungsten turkey loads at a fraction of the cost.

About the National Wild Turkey Federation 

Since 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation has invested over half a billion dollars into wildlife conservation and has positively impacted over 25 million acres of critical wildlife habitat. Since 2022, the NWTF has also invested over $2.3 million in critical wild turkey research that, when leveraged with partner contributions, has resulted in more than $22 million to guide the management of the wild turkey and to ensure sustainable populations. The organization continues to deliver its mission by working across boundaries on a landscape scale to deliver healthy forests and wildlife habitats, clean and abundant water, resilient communities and robust recreational opportunities. With the help of its dedicated members, partners and staff, the NWTF is committed to creating a nation united by the life-changing power of the outdoors.

The Drone Built to Take Down Other Drones

The Drone Built to Take Down Other Drones

Apr 22, 2026

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

The rapid spread of low-cost kamikaze drones is creating a growing challenge for air defense systems. These small, expendable platforms can be deployed in large numbers, overwhelming traditional defenses that rely on expensive interceptors. The result is a widening cost gap, where defending against a swarm can become significantly more expensive than launching the attack.

A new autonomous interceptor concept (called “Birds of Prey” by Airbus) is designed to address this imbalance by focusing on affordability and scalability. The system operates as an unmanned aerial platform capable of independently detecting, tracking, and engaging incoming threats. During a recent test flight, it successfully identified and intercepted a simulated one-way attack drone, completing the full engagement cycle without direct human control.

At the core of the system is a combination of onboard sensing and autonomous decision-making. The interceptor analyzes aerial targets in real time, classifies them, and initiates engagement using compact air-to-air missiles. These munitions are designed to be significantly less expensive than traditional interceptors while still providing sufficient lethality against small drones. Their fire-and-forget capability allows the platform to engage multiple targets in quick succession.

According to Interesting Engineering, the interceptor itself is built on a modified aerial target drone, repurposed into an operational platform. With a relatively compact airframe, it can carry several lightweight missiles, up to eight in its intended configuration, enabling multiple engagements during a single mission. The system is also reusable, which further reduces the cost per interception compared to single-use solutions.

Beyond the interceptor, integration into broader defense networks is a key element. The platform is designed to operate within existing command-and-control frameworks, allowing it to function as part of a layered air defense system. This enables coordination with ground-based sensors and other interceptors, improving overall response time and coverage.

From a defense perspective, the concept reflects a shift toward cost-effective countermeasures against mass drone attacks. Rather than relying solely on high-end systems, militaries are increasingly exploring solutions that can be deployed at scale and sustain repeated engagements.

As drone threats continue to evolve, systems that combine autonomy, low-cost interception, and networked operation are likely to become a central component of future air defense strategies.

Hopping into Success: Breaking Bunnies on the Clay Range

Eye rolling. Grumbling. General looks of disgust. These are the typical responses I encounter as I ask students to step up into the box for a rabbit clay. I’ve said before, these presentations aren’t difficult, they’re just different. As we hop into spring, let’s celebrate the bunnies and take a closer look at how you can overcome your fears of rascally rabbits.

Anatomy of the Shot: The Biology of Shooting a Shotgun

As a sporting clays instructor, I’m frequently asked if I follow or know of certain titled, competitive shooters or hunting influencers. Every now and again, a name will resonate as someone I’ve heard of or follow. Most names are just another name, though, and I have to explain that I actually spend most of my time following and researching scientists, doctors and mental training experts.

Why? Well, because the human anatomy and how it works has far greater bearing on how a shooter will interact with a target. I often say this: “If you can’t see it, you can’t shoot it.” In a vision-based sport, a hunter or competitor’s ability to ascertain a target means everything. Other contributing factors to shooting success includes gun fit, stance and mount, along with an ability to correctly read a target and react accordingly.

This month we open up the biology of shooting and how your body, build and mental interactions with clays and feathers impacts your ability to connect with targets.

NSSF Commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for Protecting Firearm Retailers, Ranges from Zoning Discrimination

NSSF

April 22, 2026

NSSF Commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for Protecting Firearm Retailers, Ranges from Zoning Discrimination

Gov. Braun

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, commends Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for signing a law prohibiting local governments from weaponizing zoning regulations to prevent firearm retailers and ranges from operating in areas already approved for commercial use. The NSSF-priority bill, Indiana’s Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 176, was signed by Gov. Braun earlier this year and a ceremonial signing is scheduled for late April. The bill was led by State Sen. Jim Tomes and State Rep. Ben Smaltz.

“The passage of Senate Enrolled Act 176 into law is a vital step to ensuring that law-abiding gun owners have access to safe and state-of-the-art shooting ranges and firearm retail locations,” explained Chris Lee, NSSF’s Director of Government Relations – State Affairs. “This law will safeguard ranges and retailers from antigun agenda-driven weaponization of local zoning authorities. These establishments, which are necessary to the exercise of Second Amendment rights, are too often relegated to back corners of industrial parks and country roads that are inconvenient to access for most consumers, including hunters and law enforcement. NSSF is grateful to the Indiana legislature and Governor Braun for ensuring these ranges and retailers are protected so Hoosiers can safely and lawfully exercise their Second Amendment rights.”

For existing shooting ranges, SEA 176 clarifies that work such as maintenance, repairs, modernization, etc., is treated as an already permitted use and does not require a new permit. It prohibits local governments from conditioning permits on terms such as annexation and requires local governments to act in a timely manner when approving permits for ranges.

For new indoor ranges, SEA 176 establishes that indoor shooting ranges are permitted in areas that are zoned for commercial, industrial or agricultural use without special hearings or approvals by local governments, with limited exceptions. The range must be built in a way that ensures projectiles are contained within the facility and that noise will not significantly impact adjacent properties.

For new firearm retailers, SEA 176 defines a “retail sporting goods store” as one that is primarily engaged in the retail of new sporting goods classified under NAICS 45110, which includes “gun shops” and “sporting goods stores.” Firearm retailers will generally be permitted on any parcel zoned for commercial use, with limited exceptions.

Indiana’s SEA 176 will go into effect on July 1, 2026.



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Veterans and patriots will gather on Saturday, May 2, 2026, for a day of competitive shooting, firearm demonstrations, camaraderie, and support, featuring firearm demos and a chance to win a CAR814A2 Patrol Rifle.

Nampa, Idaho (April 2026)Caracal USA, a leading US-based manufacturer of small arms for the law enforcement and defense markets, is proud to announce its role as the Official Sponsor of the upcoming Building Strong Veterans’ 2nd Annual Ammo Therapy Day on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Parma Rod & Gun Club in Parma, Idaho. The event brings together veterans and patriots for a day of competitive shooting, firearm demonstrations, camaraderie, and support while raising awareness and funds for the mission to end veteran homelessness.

“At Caracal USA, we believe in standing behind those who stood for all of us. Sponsoring Ammo Therapy Day 2026 and Building Stronger Veterans isn’t just a business decision; it’s a commitment to the men and women who sacrificed everything in service to this country,” said Jeffrey Spalding, President and CEO of Caracal USA. “We’re honored to contribute a CAR814A2 Patrol rifle to this year’s event and proud to support an organization dedicated to ending veteran homelessness. When veterans thrive, America thrives.”

The range day offers participants the chance to compete for exciting prizes, enter raffles, and connect with fellow veterans—all while supporting a worthy cause. Caracal USA will bring the excitement with firearm demonstrations and has generously donated a CAR814A2 Patrol Rifle – 16” Semi-Auto as a raffle item.
