I follow our small team of writers up an escalator and onto the plaza floor that holds one of the many levels for SHOT Show. It’s a sea of booths filled with the latest in “tactical innovations” that the industry has to offer. Weaving around each other like a massive army of ants, are the […]

ESEE knives are popular amongst Loadout Room writers. From the SERE instructor to our editor, ESEE knives receive a lot of praise and for a good reason. I have owned an ESEE 6 for years, but I only recently got my hands on the ESEE-3 MIL, and it certainly does not disappoint. The ESEE-3 MIL may be the smallest out of the ESEE […]

With the multitudinous variety of options we have in the tactical accessory world, it’s easy to assume one pouch is probably the same as most others. What defines a better pouch? Is it lighter, or is it stronger? The answer really depends on the end-user’s point and purpose for his/her kit. Personally, I want it all: equipment […]

Range Etiquette 101, it sounds so very basic but sometimes people forget things like I did this past weekend so we here at The Arms Guide though it would be a good time to write a refresher course. The topic can be as simple or difficult as someone wants it to be, and that is […]
