While a large and growing collection of knives is definitely not a complaint, sharpening them is. I used to not have this problem since I didn’t own many knives at all, but that has recently changed. Now that I have a hefty and proud collection, I find that it can be a real chore to keep a fine edge […]

Grand Power has been called the best pistol you’ve never heard of.  As a fan of their guns that has been raving about them for years I take offense to that.  As you’ve seen in our article on the Q100 I have a small collection of Grand Power pistols and that’s for good reason, they’re awesome.  Recently […]

Last year, I started Project Icarus: to design a very accurate, ultralight AR15 using off the shelf parts.  My goal was a sub-6lb rifle, with the suppressor and optic included in that weight and I wanted to keep the parts as durable as possible, so I shied away from the use of plastic receivers.  Since […]

For men, buying a gift for their woman is always easier when she gives you a wish list.  That doesn’t always happen.  To combat the stress of coming up with gift ideas that she’ll appreciate, I came up with a solution.  5.11 Tactical offers a variety of women’s clothing, footwear, gear, and accessories.  You can […]

I had an electronic pistol box for quick access to my primary home defense pistol for almost two years. The day came when the batteries died and I went to grab the 9-volt battery to “jump-start” it.  It was at that point I discovered the pistol box was designed to revert to the default factory […]

The .22 LR caliber firearms aren’t very loud to begin with—add a suppressor to that and you’ve got a very quiet shooter that is perfect for plinking or hunting small game. SilencerCo has yet again produced a quality AND affordable suppressor with the SpectreII. With an MSRP of around $400, what’s not to love? The Spectre […]

Bremont was formed in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English. Their first watches appeared on the market in 2007. In the relatively short amount of time since then, Bremont has become one of the premier watch brands for military units across the globe. Initially popularized in part by Bear Grylls who wore a Bremont […]

Putting practice rounds down range can be an expensive endeavor if you do it regularly, although it is important. To the contrary, dry firing can be useful to an extent but without any results behind it there isn’t much to gain.  With the MantisX Firearms Training System, I’ve found the best of both worlds.  This […]

I’ve never been a fan of gift shopping and I look for any opportunity to make that process easier. My preferred method is to take care of as much as possible in one shot. 5.11 Tactical is a great spot to do that; they offer a wide variety of men’s and women’s clothing, footwear, gear […]

Now they have the near finished product, with production beginning on the final items in the near future! More Information   This article is courtesy of The Loadout Room.

I’ve been a concealed carrier for several years now and have always carried AIWB. Finding the right belt to support this carry method can be somewhat of a challenge. It’s easy to sink alot of hard earned cash into several belts until you find one that not only supports and conceals your firearm, but offers […]

We recently took a quick look at the small Truckie Pouch from Recylced Firefighter. After I had published the quick look I put my order in to get one to play around with. My initial thought was to use it as a minimalist toiletry bag (which I may still do), but I immediately saw it’s use for a […]
