For home protection of competition, there are times when one magazine just isn’t enough. Lone Wolf is making Aluminum Couplers for Glock Magazines that are a perfect match for their Glock pistol magazine ARs. I have had a Lone Wolf G9 since they first came out.  I have put north of 30.000 rounds through it […]

Twenty-one years ago, the skies over combat zones were a very different place.  Aircraft of all sorts screamed across the sky just as they do today, but just about every one of them had a person at the helm – controlling the craft from within and using a radio to communicate to ground elements and […]

I’m  a total fanboy of Blue Force Gear’s Vickers Slings and have spoken favorably of their chest rigs and pouches before. This is my first experience with one of their plate carriers. The Plate Minus is an interesting, lightweight design. It uses BFG’s Ultracomp material to be super thin and lightweight while have 4 times […]

Boston Dynamics, a Google subsidiary that focuses on robotics, officially unveiled their latest creation on Monday: a machine that the company’s own founder refers to as “nightmare inducing.” Their new robot, called Handle, stands at an intimidating six and a half feet tall, with limbs that are just human-like enough to give you the creeps […]

The M&P line is well-respected for a reason. Over the years, they have proven to be well-made and reliable duty-worthy weapons. I carry a Shield quite often, own an M&P9, and have owned several of the M&P products over the years, including a good little AR.  The first handgun I ever loved was my dad’s […]

The tactical shotgun is a misunderstood tool. It’s often seen as old school and easily replaced by the modern carbine. The shotgun is a viable weapon that has the ability to be the most versatile weapon in an armory. The shotgun is a very powerful weapon, for this article we are looking at the 12 gauge […]

Number 5— The Glock 26 Brian’s G26 in a Galco Ankle Glove. The Glock 26 is a tried and true work horse. Does it have great sights from the factory? Nope!   However, you can buy them with Glock factory night sights that aren’t bad or pick up a Talo edition with night sights for […]

I read a lot of comments.  Whenever one of my articles goes live, I do my best to hop in and read every comment beneath it when my schedule permits, and although it’s likely bad for my health, I often read the comments posted to Facebook as well.  The content we write about begs for […]

When it comes to sunglasses there is quite a smattering of products used among Special Operations groups. However you seem to see two main brands used. Oakley and Gatorz. Up until yesterday I had no experience using Gatorz though I had on many occasions seen my co-workers or other Operators utilizing them. My experience lay […]

As tradition demands, when a man decides to get married his best man must take him somewhere to celebrate. We had a few ideas but finally settled on Texas. Why Texas? Well hog hunting of course. Greig had always wanted to go (so have I), and I had a Ranger buddy who lived in the […]

The Women’s Cirrus Pant by 5.11 Tactical claims a “a flattering fit and great flexibility for everyday wear”. But women’s pants can be tricky. Can 5.11 pull off the delicate balance of fit & function? Sometimes, my husband Erik thinks I’m crazy. I think it’s normal. For him to think I’m crazy, I mean. Just […]

The SOG Mini Pentagon is one hell of a small concealable fixed blade. It’s a tried and true design that has been in SOG Knives lineup for a few years. The anti-slip digi grip handle is the first feature you’ll notice when you hold this knife. The knife feels really well in the hand (better […]
