Hipsters I live in the city. There it is— I said it. Years ago in the city, we began to notice a new group of people emerging. For years now these individuals have been referred to as hipsters. Hipsters like music you’ve never heard of, shoes that look like your grandfather’s, using walkman tape players, […]

Gerber lives up to its reputation again for producing quality tools for reasonable prices with the Gerber Crisis Hook. The Gerber Crisis Hook is one of those tools that you hope you never have to use but are glad you have it when you do. The hook itself is made of a nice heavy-duty metal that […]

The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate and affordable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. Having shot almost 1000 rounds through the trusty steel barrel, I can concur with Rugers accuracy claims. Attending several long-range shooting classes at Marksmanship […]

Surgical, precise, fluid, dynamic, tough and always ready describes the professional operator, executive, or adventurer. Limited only by the constraints of physics and his own humanity, the professional operator carefully chooses every piece of gear he carries.

This is one of my favorite shirts to wear during the fall, winter, and spring months when not working. The Vertx Speed Concealed shirt is a blending of comfort and fluid access to your concealed firearm. For any of you that sweat even when the temperature drops the 37.5 technology evaporates moisture helping you sweat […]

Over a span of more than a hundred years, the 1911 pistol platform has earned a reputation as an accurate and reliable shooter.  Designed specifically to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Army after a campaign in the Philippines saw the current service pistol, a double action revolver chambered in .38, fail to provide […]

I’m also not one to load my pockets down with unnecessary items, which is why I choose smaller minimalist style wallets. I’ve been carrying the Chums Surf Wallet for quite some time now, only because I haven’t […]

Optic options have increased greatly within the last couple years. The Aimpoint T-1 and T-2 now have competitors from all around the world. One of those competitors is famed optic maker Trijicon, who released the Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optic a couple of years back to much speculation and interest. Time has passed and the Trijicon […]

A few years ago while I was writing for one of our brother websites in the Hurricane Media Group (Then Force12Media) in a rage of disgust over a series of issues I had with my AR-15 I vowed that I would and could never trust it again. Well that article sparked a whole list of […]

In addition to having perhaps the coolest name in all of handguns, the Jericho also has had a lengthy career as a military and law enforcement sidearm. This video is a brief overview of the Jericho 941 F. Manufactured in Israel by IWI, and imported by IWI US, the 941 is available in both mid-sized […]

Gloves are used by just about every profession on a daily basis. In the Military I had different gloves for specific tasks (shooting, fast roping, .50 barrel gloves, etc.). In my current job I use the standard Mechanix gloves, or latex depending on what I am doing at the time. Even when I do chores […]

With a 45-year career as a law enforcement, military, and civilian sidearm, the Beretta 92 is still going strong today. Tremendously reliable and accurate, the 92 replaced the 1911 as the standard issue sidearm of the US Military in 1985. The 92 was most famously used in 1988 to quell a terrorist uprising in the […]
