In the following video I expound upon some of my thoughts regarding the Glock 19 MOS after many rounds downrange. The Glock 19 MOS was Glock’s entry into the optic mounting world. Glock offers modular mounting plates which allows for flexibility in the future. The question is how well does it hold up? Watch the […]
The Lee-Enfield rifle served the British Empire in its last days from the fields of Europe to the jungles on Asia and all point in between. The classic rifle chambered .303 British came in many shapes and sizes from the SMLE pattern which was used designed before World War One to the Ishapore Model 2A […]

When out in the backcountry, the hammock is one piece of gear I hear mentioned all the time while discussing ‘what’s new’ or I’m involved in a ‘is it worth it’ type of gear discussion. It generally starts with a backpacking trip and someone sets up their hammock. In a group you will inevitably hear, “Man, I […]
The AK family of weapons is reliable and rugged. It was designed to be operated by illiterate teenage conscripts with little to no training. It was never intended to protect a family after a natural disaster and is ill suited to that purpose. If the answer comes down to supportability and simplicity, you need a […]

I can’t lie here – I severely dislike having to wear cufflinks. Not because I don’t like the way they look or anything, but because I always lose those little fuckers and end up in some sort of panicked trip to the mall to replace them last minute. Though I’ve vowed to get rid of […]
