🔫 BULLET PROOF
Bond Arms’ Cyclops .45-70 is a derringer-sized pistol built around the full-power .45-70 Gov’t cartridge that turns pocket hardware into a serious big-bore novelty.
The gun features a single-shot, break-open design with a 4.25-inch stainless barrel, an extended B6 resin grip to help manage recoil, fixed sights, roughly 28 ounces empty, and a stout factory trigger—all packaged in a solid stainless finish.
The handgun starts at $699. You can see a video review, including a shooting test, here.
🚚 Truckin’ Along
The Ford Custom Garage team built a real-life SEWA toy—the Ford Maverick 300T.
The truck’s name comes from the increased horsepower of its 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4, which is boosted from 238 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque in its base form to roughly 300 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.
In addition to the performance tweaks, the 300T features a Lobo lowering kit that gives it a 0.4-inch drop in the front and a 1.18-inch drop in the back.
To make things even better, Ford will offer the package in black or bronze color schemes and will come with a full warranty. Check out photos of the 300T here.
