Breachpen was founded by an Air Force PJ with the basic idea of a disposable and lightweight thermal breaching option when mechanical, ballistic and explosive breaching is not ideal or may not be needed.

We weren’t given a specific packing list, but told to “pack what you’ll need”. We knew with this type of terrain, for […]
It’s badass and I can’t imagine switching to anything else. The Vortex Optics Razor UH-1 has been adopted by anyone and everyone that can get their hands on it as the go-to CQC/CQB optic. It’s fair in weight and the eye relief is incredible (I mean it is a holograph so that’s not really a […]

As I continue to build my SR 762 from Ruger (.308) I decided to acquire a chest rig. I have a plate carrier already (which this rig can attach to), but I wanted something lightweight I could use while hunting with this platform (WA a .308 is good for all big game). After talking to […]
Let’s discuss pocket-carried / belt-carried flashlights. There are about eighty-six gazillion of them out there to choose from. The one I carry daily is the OLight M20SX JAVELOT. I won’t bore you with all the technical mumbo-jumbo, for I am not a professional flashlight reviewer. There are already many reviews about this particular product online from […]
