The Silent Pocket Faraday Cage products help you mitigate the risk of being hacked, tracked or exposed to harmful radiation. We emphasize the need for personal security, but mind set and concealed carry only go so far.  Your situational awareness must extend into the digital relm. At SHOT Show, I had the chance to talk to Aaron […]

The Karambit design is an extremely effective design when used for personal defense. The curved blade will slice right through clothing and flesh with very little effort. It is not designed to stab and will not reach vital organs, but it will inflict enough damage on any threat allowing you to pop smoke and get […]

The F-35 Lighting II, an aircraft that makes alternate headlines for being the most expensive weapons platform ever made and for suffering repeated technical setbacks, just got a little bit cheaper, and it would appear that the US government has Donald Trump to thank for that. Lockheed Martin, the defense and aerospace company tasked with […]

I pulled the trigger and nothing happened, no click, mushy trigger. The range was quiet in those milliseconds as I tried to ascertain what was happening. My weapon just malfunctioned? Smoke rose steadily from the end of my suppressor. I could see the heat waves rising off the spray paint camouflaged shroud of my Surefire […]

SIG SAUER, Inc. extends a special thanks to the industry partners who collaborated on the U.S. Army Modular Handgun System (MHS). The MHS request for proposal (RFP) was issued in August 2015 and was awarded on January 19, 2017 when SIG SAUER was chosen to field the replacement for the M9 pistol that has been […]

Having a personal EDC kit at each layer has been well covered on the Loadout Room.  However, most of us spend hours in our vehicles, living at various longitudes, climates, and on various types of roads during our daily lives and unless you are in a military convoy; with your full kit, there are times that […]

I recently did a quick review of the FITS Tactical Crew Socks, which have been performing quite well. Having such a good first impression with the Tactical Crew Socks, I decided to give the quarter height hiking socks. I generally prefer a quarter height hiking sock whether I’m wearing shoes or hiking boots. The FITS […]
