ALG Defense is the sister company to Geissele Automatics.

Started by Amy Lynn Geissele (hence, ALG) in 2012, ALG Defense brings a pedigree of precision machining and innovation to the world of […]
I really do hate .40S&W; it’s really snappy and torques the wrist, doesn’t really do anything ballistics wise that a 9mm can’t, and it’s prone to malfunctions, primarily in Glocks. The pistol, however, I love. It’s a great little package that is an incredible everyday carry gun, I should’ve gotten the G26 but this one […]
The Kershaw Barstow is a fine-looking knife. It’s not exactly old-school hunting knife or super modern tactical fighting knife. It’s more like it steeped out of the 1930s and is wearing a fedora and smoking a Lucky Strike. It really has a classy look to it. The spear point blade only has a single edge, but you can’t tell unless you […]

Early this year the Army announced they had selected the Sig P320 (M17) as their official sidearm.

Before we get into my thoughts on the Bubs Naturals Collagen Protein, I’d like to provide you with the back story of how it all started and why you should try this, especially if you’re over 40. The following is an excerpt from a conversation I had with the owner of Bubs Naturals. Glen and I […]
I’ve never jumped on the band wagon of tactical pens. Yes they look cool and could do some damage in a self-defense situation, but I’ve always had a hard time justifying the cost. Why would I spend $70+ dollars on a pen when I’ve already got a blade and flashlight on me that could be used to […]
