Episode 445 Brought to you by: C&G Holsters Medical Gear Outfitters Die Free Co. Blue Alpha Bowers Group Swampfox Optics Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Dear WLS Question from Micah Oxard ♻️ Any updates with potential holster sponsorships? Jeremy's still a cunt. Happy holidays. Question from Drew Peabauls ♻️ I'm planning to purchase a Mitchell defense 10.3” DOC for a home defense rifle. Considering the potential indoor use case, I want to run a dedicated suppressor. What recommendations do you have for the quietest can with low back pressure? No price limitations. Question from Brassguy Jarhead ♻️ "Do ya have any experience with Right to Bear Arms builder sets? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm going to build a 204 Ruger and was going to use an Aero Precision builder set but apparently they quit doing those. Thanks for the input. No notes. PS. Jeremy is a cunt" Question from Karl F ♻️ Hey guys! I live in Virginia and that isn't going to change anytime soon due to proximity to family. Unfortunately, after recent elections, we are almost guaranteed to be facing an assault weapons ban along with a myriad of other gun control next year. I'm currently stocking up in hopes of a grandfather clause. I have plenty of AR15 components; however, I don't have any piston guns. Any suggestions for something I should consider picking up before I can't anymore? I'm not interested in an AK, and I would like to stick to either 556, 300 Blackout, or 6.5 creedmore. I'm leaning towards a 16"" barrel but am open to others. My first thought was a BRN-4 from Brownells but they appear to be all out of stock at the moment. Any input is appreciated. Keep up the great show. #blamecanada Question from Harry Pickle ♻️ Is it just me or is it the older I get (im 29) the more I appreciate the bush on a woman. Do yall appreciate the bush? I'm all for bringing back the 70s hair and 70s bush, and I'm not talking about no landing strip I'm talking about ZZ Top eating a beef and cheddar Question from Nightwasher513 TX ♻️ Thank you for trying to answer my question on episode 435. It was about making a pistol brace for your 3d printed firearms. My follow up question is. What is the likelihood that any of the 3d printed pistols with a pistol brace, would have gotten a letter from the ATF. Case in point, the MacDaddy MAC 11 has a pistol brace designed on it. So then since that designer most likely has not gotten a letter from the ATF, does that mean the 1000s of people that have printed it and installed it are breaking the law? That being said, is there any negative effects on submitting a brace design to the ATF. I carry every day with my DB Alloy MAC 11 in my backpack? And last follow up question. If a steel plate at had a serial number engraved on it to ATF specs that then was inserted into the printed frame during the printing process and could not be removed without destroying the print be in compliance with the ATF rules? I really hope you read this question before Aaron gets back. #NOAARON. Question from Duzzit Fittenmy ♻️ Camorado is Rad. When are we going to get line of flannel shirts? I think each WLS cast member should come up with their own flannel pattern and color scheme. Question from Mitch C ♻️ Which 9mm revolver would you guys get if you wanted to dip your toes in the revolver classes of your local matches? Red dot and holster compatible. Or would you just not be a poor, broke ass bitch and shoot .38?

Mike Lee Sen. Mike Lee introduced the Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization Act, allowing private entities to combat drug cartel smuggling and violence by seizing cartel assets outside the U.S. The proposed legislation, which echoes historical practices of granting private citizens authority to engage in acts against enemies, has implications for the gun community as it may enable armed citizens to take action against perceived threats from cartels. The Agency Brief Agency Brief — LETTERS OF MARQUE COLD OPEN "The same founders who supposedly 'never imagined AR-15s' literally wrote into the Constitution a program where private citizens could own warships, cannons, and get paid to hunt America's enemies. But sure, tell me more about how 'weapons of war' are only for the government." THE CORE STORY: CONSTITUTIONAL PIRACY The Power: Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 gives Congress the power to grant "Letters of Marque and Reprisal." This is a government license converting a private citizen into a legal combatant. It authorized the use of privately owned warships, cannons, and small arms to capture enemy vessels for profit. The Intent: The Founders distrusted standing armies. Their solution? Unleash the free market on America's enemies. It wasn't a loophole; it was the strategy. The Reality: This destroys the modern argument that civilians shouldn't own "weapons of war." The Constitution relies on it. FULL HISTORICAL BREAKDOWN Origins: Dates back to medieval times as a way for merchants to recoup losses from foreign thieves. Revolutionary War Usage: Continental Navy: ~60 ships. American Privateers: ~1,700 ships. Result: Private citizens captured ~600 British vessels and supplied the colonies with seized gunpowder and goods. War of 1812: The US Navy was still tiny. Privateers essentially fundamentally were the American naval strategy. Ordinary businessmen up-armored their schooners and decimated British trade routes. The Kill Switch: 1856 Declaration of Paris. European powers banned privateering to protect their massive state navies from scrappy private competition. Fact: The US never signed this treaty, but we eventually complied to fit in with "civilized" nations. Modern Attempt: Following 9/11, Rep. Ron Paul introduced bills to issue Letters of Marque to hunt al-Qaeda. The establishment buried it. They preferred a trillion-dollar occupation over a bounty-hunter approach. FACT CHECK SUMMARY Confirmed: Private citizens owned the 18th-century equivalent of nuclear-armed frigates (cannons/warships) with the blessing of the government. Myth: "Privateering was lawless piracy." Correction: It was highly regulated. "Prize Courts" adjudicated every capture. Lawless behavior was punished by hanging. Missing Context: The State's monopoly on violence is a modern invention. The Founders viewed war as a participatory duty of the armed citizen. Hidden Incentive: Why don't we use it now? Because the Defense Industrial Complex (Raytheon, Lockheed) cannot compete with low-cost private operators. The government wants total control, even if it costs more and works less. IMPACT ON GUN OWNERSHIP Reframing the Narrative: When anti-gunners say, "The 2A doesn't cover weapons of war," the response is: "Actually, Article 1 authorizes me to own a battleship." Bruen & Litigation: Under the Bruen test (Text, History, and Tradition), there is a robust tradition of civilians owning artillery and naval warships. If the history supports private ownership of cannons, it certainly supports private ownership of standard rifles and magazines. Cultural Impact: It moves the gun culture debate from "sporting purposes" to "national defense," which is where the Constitution places it. AGENCY NOTES (POLITICAL ANALYSIS) Regulatory Creep: We shifted from a Citizen-Militia/Privateer model to a Standing Army/Federal Law Enforcement model. The Motive: Control. An armed populace capable of waging naval war is impossible to oppress. A disarmed populace dependent on the Navy for protection is compliant. Action Item: Use Letters of Marque to mock the "F-15s and Nukes" argument. The Founders didn't just allow private firepower; they banked the nation's survival on it. The Alley Jelly Roll Receives Pardon as Gun Rights Restoration Program Returns The Trump administration has revived the federal gun rights restoration program by pardoning Jelly Roll, a notable figure,

Ryan Kent just went through one of the wildest HYROX stretches we've seen: 9 races in ~11 weeks, constant travel, and a full-on mindset rebuild after a tough run of DNFs. In this episode, Rich Ryan and Ryan break down what that kind of race density does to your body, your training, and (more importantly) your head.We talk about the shift from “win at all costs” to “execute a race you're proud of,” how confidence gets rebuilt one finish at a time, and the exact mental tools Ryan is using when the race starts whispering “quit.” If you've ever struggled mid-race, felt your identity tied to results, or wondered whether you can still compete hard without being miserable… this one's for you.Topics include: HYROX race strategy, mental resilience, DNFs, mantras, pacing vs. aggression, course speed differences, doubles tactics, and balancing elite competition with real life.

We Like Shooting Episode 640 This episode of We Like Shooting is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Die Free Co., Medical Gear Outfitters, Mitchell Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to the We Like Shooting Show, episode 640! Our cast tonight is Jeremy Pozderac, Savage1r, Jon Patton, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!   - Gear Chat Nick - KRG Bravo Unplugged KRG Bravo Shawn - GLOCK Unveils Ergonomically Enhanced Generation 6 Models ## Key Points Summary Intro This summary captures the main takeaways from the Glock Gen 6 launch coverage featuring John from the Warrior Poet Society. The discussion centers on design changes, practical improvements, and shooting impressions, with notes on market timing and pricing. Sponsorships were not part of the core content. Center Key design changes and their practical impact - Grip and texture: The new texture sits between Gen 4 and RTF2; two backstraps including a palm swell are provided. The texture extends higher on both sides for a more secure hold, especially in hot conditions. - Ergonomics: Deeper trigger guard undercut reduces the “Glock knuckle” issue; the grip surface is larger, improving surface area for those with bigger hands; the grip shape swells in the midsection for a more natural wrap. - Controls: Deeper slide serrations, especially on top, enhance manipulation from either end of the slide. The ambidextrous slide release remains, and the pistol uses a single recoil spring (as in earlier generations) while retaining some material from the B-series. - Magwell and contour: The magwell is more flared; the overall contour resembles a topographic map, broadening the hand placement area and increasing leverage for a stronger grip. - Gas pedals and holster compatibility: Gas pedals are built into the frame on both sides with material reduced to protect compatibility with Gen 5 holsters; the goal is a functional improvement without forcing new holsters. - Optics and plates: The plate system is not MOS; it uses a polymer insert that sits lower on the slide and acts like a crush washer under tension. Footprints include Delta Point and RMR; optic-ready configuration remains, with some models rumored to feature polymer sights. - Sights and optics readiness: The factory setup is optics-ready, with some early photos showing polymer sight options. - Barrel and reliability: The Marksman barrel remains, but the extractor housing has been redesigned to be removable for easier maintenance and to reduce installation errors. - Handling and feel: The grip bite is strong but not overly tacky, enabling fast, controlled manipulations without the gun sticking to the hand. Models, availability, and pricing - US launch models: Gen 617 (with Glock 47 form factor), 19-length slide paired to a full-size grip (G45-like); overseas, Glock 49 appears as a variant. - Optics-ready configuration: All examples are MOS-ready or compatible, with plates included for common footprints. - Pricing and timing: MSRP is anticipated around $750; production units were slated to begin arriving in January, with possible earlier availability as information evolves. - Accessories and maintenance: An updated extractor housing system is highlighted as simplifying field maintenance and reducing failure risks due to improper screw length. User experience and feedback - Hand feel: The curved, swollen midsection improves leverage and comfort; the grip texture provides secure grip without excessive tackiness, avoiding slip during rapid manipulation. - Shooting impressions: A large, controlled sampling (nine pistols and thousands of rounds) yielded consistent ejection and reliable cycling during demonstrations; full independent testing will further validate reliability. - Community notes: Gen 5 users worried about slide-lock issues may benefit from deeper cuts and reinforced stops; modular grip options were not part of the initial rollout, though patent activity suggests ongoing development. Outro Takeaway: Gen 6 Glock delivers meaningful ergonomic and grip improvements, while maintaining optics readiness and reliability expectations. The US market rollout is aimed for January with a target MSRP near $750; overseas options include Glock 49. Next steps include comprehensive independent testing, longer-term reliability data, and broader real-world reviews. Stay tuned for updates, and consider price-alert subscriptions for stock and accessory availability. Shawn - Kinetic Development Group's Q4 Success and Future Growth Plans Kinetic Development Group (KDG) is experiencing significant growth, closing Q4 with strong increases in sales across various distribution channels, attributed to the demand for its firearm accessories. Looking ahead to 2026, KDG plans to introduce new products and enhance capabilities, which may impact the firearm accessory market by providing innovative solutions for shooters. Bullet Points Shawn - Steiner Optics Unveils Innovative ATLAS Aiming System Steiner Optics has launched the ATLAS, a compact multi-emitter aiming and illumination device aimed at military, law enforcement, and professional security users, as well as the commercial market. It features co-aligned emitters, user-friendly controls, and a durable design, positioned as a versatile tool for operational use. The introduction of the ATLAS may influence purchasing decisions within the gun community, particularly for those seeking advanced aiming systems. The MSRP begins at $4,024.99. Shawn - Taurus Raging Hunter: Now Available in .350 Legend Taurus has launched a new version of its Raging Hunter revolver series chambered in .350 Legend, catering to shooters seeking a revolver suitable for hunting with straight-walled cartridges.

WLS is Lifestyle Hoover's Legal Rollercoaster ## Key Points Summary,**Intro**,This summary distills the latest developments surrounding Matt Hoover, the CRS Firearms creator, after a lengthy legal battle tied to the so-called “auto key card.” The focus is on the factual timeline, legal questions, and current status as Hoover emerges from federal prison into a halfway house. The material below omits sponsorship references and concentrates on the core events and implications for Hoover, his case, and ongoing appeals., ,**Centerpiece Facts & Timeline**,,- **Subject and backdrop**: Matt Hoover, known for the CRS Firearms YouTube channel, was linked to advertisements for the auto key card—a novelty item featuring a lightning-link-like etching intended to imply automatic-fire capability. The item did not function as advertised, and there is no evidence Hoover owned, sold, or manufactured machine guns or auto key cards.,- **Arrest and charge**: Despite the nonfunctional etching and absence of direct ownership or manufacturing activity, Hoover was arrested and charged with trafficking machine guns. The case connected him to Christopher Justin Irvin, the creator of the auto key card.,- **Sentencing dynamics**: The pre-sentencing report highlighted Hoover's clean criminal record and his role as the family's primary breadwinner, presenting a favorable background for leniency. Yet, prosecutors sought the maximum sentence, arguing aggressive measures despite the limited direct involvement in weapon manufacture or sales.,- **Contested assertions**: The government asserted extreme accusations, including a claim that Hoover married to prevent her testimony, despite Hoover and his wife sharing multiple children. These assertions drew skepticism and counter-arguments during proceedings and appellate discussions.,- **Gag order controversy**: The government attempted to impose gag orders on journalists covering the case. Those efforts were challenged and ultimately overturned, favoring press freedom and coverage of the proceedings.,- **Appeals process**: Hoover and Irvin both appealed their convictions to the Eleventh Circuit. The Eleventh Circuit heard the appeal in September, but no published decision had been issued at the time of reporting. The appellate discussion centers on evidentiary standards, the government's interpretation of the auto key card's legal status, and potential misapplications of trafficking statutes given the novelty item's nonfunctional nature.,- **Current status**: Hoover has been released from federal prison into a halfway house to serve the remainder of his sentence, effectively transitioning from confinement to supervised community-based placement. He is not at home, but he is no longer in a traditional prison setting. The case remains active on appeal, with the circuit court's decision pending.,- **Context and implications**: The broader implications touch on how prosecutors frame “trafficking” related to nonfunctional or novelty items, the evidentiary boundaries for associating creators with distributors, and the practical impact on families and communities tied to defendants in high-profile cases.,- **Public calls to action**: Viewers and supporters are encouraged to engage with ongoing legal debates, follow the Eleventh Circuit decision when released, and participate in related community discussions. Acknowledgment of the current status, while staying tuned for further updates,

In this week's episode of the Chasing Clarity Health & Fitness Podcast, I sit down with my client and former Division 1 athlete, fitness professional, and tech sales leader Nikki Zahka to unpack her journey from chronic under-fueling and hypothalamic amenorrhea to restoring her health, rebuilding her physiology, and achieving her best physique yet.We cover:NIKKI'S ATHLETIC HISTORYNIKKI'S PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORSHigh performers often burn the candle at both ends not realizing that stress adds up across life domains.WHERE NIKKI WAS AT THE START OF COACHING (JANUARY 2023)Physique looked great externally but internally her health was compromised.Chronic under-eating (1200–1350 kcal/day) with high-output training.Showing signs of suppressed physiology, poor digestion, and hormonal dysfunction.WHAT NIKKI WAS EXPERIENCING WHEN WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHEROver 3 years without a menstrual cycle.Classic RED-S biofeedback: fatigue, hormone suppression, stress overload.Chronic under-fueling led to poor quality of life despite looking “fit.”HYPOTHALAMIC AMENORRHEA (HA)Causes: low energy availability + high stress suppressing hypothalamic signaling.Effects: reduced thyroid, elevated cortisol, reduced estrogen/progesterone.RELATIVE ENERGY DEFICIENCY & LOW ENERGY AVAILABILITY (LEA)Adaptable LEA: short-term, strategic, recoverable.Problematic LEA: chronic, damaging, with systemic consequences.Nikki had been in problematic LEA for years due to mismatch of intake/output.CONSEQUENCES OF RED-SHORMONAL: ↓ thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, IGF-1, leptin; ↑ cortisol.METABOLIC: suppressed RMR, reduced MPS.BONE HEALTH: ↓ bone mineral density, ↑ fracture risk.GI: constipation, digestive distress.PERFORMANCE: ↓ strength, endurance, glycogen storage, recovery; ↑ injury risk.HEMATOLOGICAL: iron deficiency → worsened thyroid function.THE PRIMER PHASEFoundation-building stage where we focused on restoring physiology, habits, and metabolic health.Pulled back from high-intensity, exhaustive training.Focused on fueling, recovery, sleep, stress management.INTENTION OF THE PRIMER PHASEReverse chronic low energy availability.NUTRIENT TIMING & WITHIN-DAY ENERGY AVAILABILITYImportance of distribution, not just daily totals.Even fueling throughout the day → reduces stress, improves recovery, supports hormones.Avoid large gaps without eating & fasted high-intensity training.OUTCOMES OF THE PRIMER PHASEAfter 6 months: improved training performance, recovery, and body recomposition.Fueling at  >2000 kcal on training days at ~110 lbs.Biofeedback improved across the board.Proof that correcting EA + structured resistance training = muscle gain & better hormone function.LEAN BUILDING PHASESNext step after Primer: structured lean muscle gain phase RESTORED MENSTRUAL CYCLE after 3+ years.Focused on performance, fueling, and health markers.Out of 55 weeks, only 6 spent dieting; most time spent building.Mindset shift: from chasing leanness to fueling abundance.LESSONS & TAKEAWAYSNikki's story is a powerful reminder that A HEALTHY BODY IS A RESPONSIVE BODY and when you prioritize physiology, the physiqueresults follow.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com
