Toor Knives is another small American made brand, not many have heard about. They make a line of semi custom fixed blade knives to address the problem of our military and law enforcement using sub-par knives in their loadouts. Toor Knives is owned and operated by two brothers. Not only are they blood brothers, but both have served in the military as well. […]

Let’s say you wanted to turn your Glock into a rifle, how would you do it? Well, you can do it two ways. One involves the Federal Government, some paperwork, 200 bucks, and 4 to 6 months of waiting. The other involves a 16-inch barrel. If you take the 16-inch barrel route I have an […]

It’s tough being the little guy on the block, especially when the guy picking on you looks like Drago from Rocky IV. Finland experienced a similar scenario in 1939 when the Soviet Union—partnering up with our favorite bad guys, the Nazis—faked an attack on one of their own villages to give them an excuse to invade […]

There’s an old joke that seems to exist in the Glock world. I heard it at my first Glock Armorers course and it typically starts with someone asking if Glock is ever going to make a rifle. Someone responds, “They are, it’ll be at SHOT show. We just don’t  know what year.” I mean a […]

I can see the Admin Panel 1 being a valuable piece of gear for those that frequently travel. When staying in a hotel you need to be prepared to grab what you can and leave in the event of an emergency. Often times that equates to whatever you have in your pockets. At the end […]

Adidas is a German multinational company that has been producing high quality footwear and outdoor gear since 1949. Following a family feud with his older brother Rudolf who founded Puma, Adolf Dassler started Adidas and the brothers quickly became rivals in business. Ironically, both Puma and Adidas are still headquartered in the same German town of Herzogenaurach. Adidas […]

In an effort to provide our readers with disaster preparedness information as well as recommended gear for go bags and survival kits, it’s sometimes hard for people to justify having a dedicated go bag. 99% of those that commute for work and school already carry some type of bag or backpack. Why not take advantage of that bag […]

The Columbia Heatzone 1000 TurboDown Jacket is touted as the world warmest jacket. That’s quite an ambitious claim considering the myriad of high-end down jackets available from manufacturers like The North Face, Mammut, RAB, Arc’Teryx, Marmot, and more. Columbia claims that the construction of this jacket is what sets it apart from its competitors. With a 900-fill-power water-resistant goose down […]

Everyone hates Nazis. They’re our favorite bad guys in everything from movies to literature, and for pretty darn good reason. But following close behind, cowering in the shadow of the Nazi regime, is Vichy France. Like some sniveling, traitorous playground snitch, France, upon getting their underpants firmly tugged to their shoulders in the Battle of France (AKA “the trouncing”), […]

Gatorz sunglasses are certainly as tough as they look. Featured in the movie Lone Survivor on several of the SEAL Team actors, they earn their keep within the SEAL Teams. I know of a few Team guys that swear by these sunglasses. I personally have been wearing them for several months. The first thing I noticed when I put […]

Ruger seemingly snuck in a variety of new revolver models onto their webpage. Typically we see a press release, or a social media release but so far I’ve seen neither. I just happened to receive a text from a friend telling me Ruger was bringing back the SP 101 in 9mm. The SP 101 is […]
