The 5.11 Tactical PL 2AAA EDC Flashlight

When it comes to your EDC one of the most ignored items is a light. I get it, a gun, a folding EDC knife, possibly a multitool, a reload, keys, cell phone, and more can fill your pockets up fast. With that in mind and my own hatred of full pockets, I picked up a […]

The Blackhawk Omnivore | A Universal Holster That Doesn’t Suck

I’ve written more than one article in the vein of holster guidance for new shooters. Typically one of my first pieces of advice is to ignore universal holsters. They typically suck.

Defender Flex Jeans by 5.11 Tactical | Casual yet Tactical

I typically hate receiving clothes as a gift in general. I make exceptions here and there. Want to get me a Dixxon Flannel? Sweet. How about a pair of 5.11 Defender Flex Jeans? Yes, please. I now have two pairs of these bad boys and I adore them. I have owned both blue and black for […]

The Zero Tolerance ZT 308 – A Full Sized Option

The Zero Tolerance brand is one that has a name that describes their product pretty damn well. Zero Tolerance makes damn fine knives the new ZT 308 is no different. The ZT 308 is a massive knife, at least when it comes to folding knives. A little while back Zero Tolerance released the ZT 223, […]

ROC Competition Brake

Axelson Tactical ROC Competition Brake 5.56

The Axelson ROC Competition Brake is designed for the AR-15 platform with competition shooters in mind. The Axelson Tactical ROC Competition Muzzle Brake took me some time to get used to.
