January-February 2023 Issue of Tactical Life: Rendezvous Roundup

For our January-February 2023 issue of Tactical Life, we’re offering up our first-of-the-year Athlon Outdoors Rendezvous-born exclusive cover gun story on Canik’s SFx Rival-S pistol. This gun is so darn new, it’s even preempting Canik’s official launch by one week!

January-February 2023 Issue of Tactical Life

If you’re a regular reader of TL, you likely know that our staff participates in an annual Athlon Outdoors Editorial Rendezvous event held in Victor, Idaho.

We didn’t do any dancing at this year’s Rondy. However, we did a ton of singing by way of hammering hundreds of steel plates, clay birds, and Tannerite-enhanced targets. This year, more than 30 premier firearms and shooting-lifestyle-centric gear companies (many of which have multiple brands) brought their goods to our event.

This allowed our 30-plus content creators to work up plenty of great editorial. As a result, you’ll have plenty of great content throughout the year in Tactical Life and our other premier titles.

In this issue, we have nine pages worth of sneak peeks from Rendezvous ’22. Mike Detty breaks down why great ergos, capacity, noteworthy details, and performance make Wilson Combat’s SFT9 worth every penny. Fred Mastison shows you how to install a new Rise Armament Iconic independent two-stage trigger. And our very own Rambo (Rikk, not John) educates you on the guns, guts, and glorious history of the Alaska State Troopers.
