As this issue went to press, the COVID-19 pandemic, which held us hostage for months, has given way to rioting and violence over the murder of George Floyd by a rogue Minneapolis police officer. What began as righteous protests has devolved into random violence. Unbelievably, many city leaders have chosen to turn a blind eye rather than make the tough political decision to enforce the rule of law, leaving law-abiding citizens to fend for themselves like never before. The new mantra, “Defund The Police,” is being shouted by thousands of people—politicians included! Fortunately for Combat Handguns readers, such an eventuality wasn’t completely unexpected. Most have spent decades building the knowledge and skills necessary to protect themselves and their families. With features like our current look at the 5,000-plus ways (that’s what the engineers told us!) the new ZRODelta Modulus can be configured, we’ve offered the best content on handguns, tactics and gear available for the past 40 years. Given the current situation, such information is more relevant now than ever.
