Mothers Day is coming up on us fast and finding a ‘practical’ gift can sometimes be a challenge, especially for us guys. Instead of buying flowers or a plant that will eventually die (they do in my house), why not get her a gift that can be used on a regular basis that reminds her […]

I got a chance to look at Gerber’s NEW Center-Drive Multi-Tool.  It has just what I need and nothing that I don’t. This multi-tool offers a revolutionary design, the tool works in the real world. The innovative center-axis driver opens to align like a real screw driver, yielding maximum torque and rotation. No productivity is […]

I ran into the scraper tools at the Real Avid booth.  I can’t find this new tool on their website but it is awesome.  I begged them to do a video.  I hate cleaning guns and I hate scrapping carbon. This tool makes it easy if not fun. This is a faster, easier way to […]

Lucas of T.REX Arms drops some knowledge bombs regarding foregrips on rifles. Why should we listen? The man fires some 1-2k rounds per week and practices extremely hard. With all of those rounds he’s learned quite a bit on what foregrips tend to work. In the following video he expounds upon that. This article is […]

The Havoc 30 by 5.11 Tactical has the makings of a great go-bag. The Havoc 30 backpack sports a streamlined profile allowing you to move quickly and navigate obstacles without impeding your movement. Other than the outer stash pocket, there are no bulky pockets hanging off the outside keeping with the streamlined minimalistic approach. I’ve […]

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 […]

Hydration is the key to surviving and thriving in any situation. If you’ve ever spent any time in the military, or at least the Marines, you’ve heard the phrase drink water. It is to the point where it’s become a meme in the military community. Any Corpsman will tell you the cure for anything is to […]

I remember wearing a watch band compass during my Marine Combat Training back in the 90’s. As an infantryman it was necessary to always be aware of your location, direction of travel and reverse azimuth to find your way back. Our platoon Gunny gave us a quick down and dirty training session on using our […]
