We recently covered a new company to the market making gun belts. That company is Pekan Outdoor, located in Canada. Pekan Outdoor has entered the market manufacturing several different styles of belts to include riggers belts, SERE belts, gun belts and EDC belts. I was fortunate enough to get one of his 1.5” gun belts that I have been wearing on a daily basis. AIWB Position […]

Not much differs at all in a pistol build for a AR-15. However I’m constantly asked how to build one. In this video we have our resident armorer Nick of Sharp Shooting in Spokane, Washington tackle the job. Nick who has been building rifles for a long time, and for some very large companies explains to […]

Fire starting in important. Without fire you could easily die in a survival situation. The company EXOTAC has made some innovative and simple to use tools that work well for a variety of applications. In the following video I expound upon their use and my overall impressions of them.   This article is courtesy of The Loadout Room. 

1. THE MAKO TIRE DEFLATOR ATTACHMENT For a Glorious 150 dollars, you can add a ridiculous pointy stick thingy to the end of your AR-15 barrel. Its purpose you ask? To stab tires. It attaches directly to your barrel over your flash hider, and you can supposedly fire your weapon with this attached. Mako M16/M4/AR-15 Tire […]

The Walther P99 is a German original that is still running strong in the German police forces after 20 years. The pistol came into being in the early 1990s and still holds it’s own against other big manufacturers. The P99, in my opinion, is a supreme example of high quality German production that will last for […]

Like many in the military, when I first was presented with ammo on a stripper clip I merely pulled the ammo off and loaded it individually. It was only later on that a kind soul hazed me and showed me the light. While fairly self-explanatory many do not know how to utilize the stripper clips […]

If you’ve done any type of activity that involves using a lot of chemsticks you understand the pain of having to deal with them. Depending on mission set and how your unit works you can understand the pain of having to unwrap chemsticks, tape them (depending on how your unit works) and then bundling them […]

Finding the right travel bag to haul your tactical gear can be a daunting task. The NBT Duffel LIMA from 5.11 Tactical is an inexpensive yet very well though out option for those still searching. Comprised of 1050D tear resistant nylon, this spacious 51 liter duffel is well suited for 2-3 day travel. D shaped YKK self-healing […]

The Vedder combines the best of style and function. First, it features an attention-getting handle treatment. The steel handle is titanium-carbo-nitride coated in soft matte grey. But then Kershaw added two 3D-machined G-10 overlays that not only look great, but also enhance grip. On the performance side, the Vedder’s 8Cr13MoV blade offers a razor edge that […]

This pro tip from John Lovell comes in handy for those of us that don’t have access to a 100 or 200 yard range. I fall into this category and will be trying out this tip until I can get my AR to a longer range to get a more precise zero. Think of this as a […]

You can’t throw a rock without hitting someone in the firearms industry who makes Glock accessories. It is easily the most popular pistol on the planet. I purchased a Glock because of the fact so many people make accessories for the gun, and being in the industry I’ve had to turn down a lot of opportunities because I […]

So I did a loadout video when I was with the Peshmerga in Kurdistan and thought it would be interesting to do another one on the kit I used while I was in Ukraine. While much of the kit was pretty synonymous with my previous gear, a lot of it was different in brand and […]
