Well folks, the self-appointed lords of content quality and community standards over at Google have decided that if I want search traffic to return to my sites, I need to focus on weapons and remove all the military and country posts. So, starting on 10/21/26, a massive number of SITREP, country, AI, drone and military posts will be taken down.

Moving forward, the site will focus entirely on small arms. Right now, If you want a given report outside of the small arm domain, please snag it as soon as you get the chance. Once I remove them starting on Wednesday, they will no longer be accessible to anyone.

You have no idea how frustrating this whole experience has been. Ronin’s Grips is struggling because of judgments made that are beyond our control, impacting the entire domain – the blog and the store. Of course, the store is what brings in the money so you must understand that I have little choice but to change the site.

If you are reading this post, thank you for visiting.

10/21/2026 8:00am Eastern: The first wave of deletions is done. Again, the focus is the removal of posts not relating to small arms.
