As a military security force member, you know that having the right gear can make all the difference in the world. When you’re on the job, you need a jacket that can keep you protected from the elements, while also allowing you to move freely and comfortably for long periods of time. That’s why the […]
As an avid fan and occasional participant of motor sports, I appreciate the fine details and skill needed to build a fast, lightweight and capable machine. Exotic materials like carbon fiber and titanium alloy. As well as engineers willing to push the limits of lightweight designs in order to deliver a winning edge for their […]
Short Barreled Rifles or SBR’s are all the rage. While most people concentrate on the barrel of their SBR build, they often neglect the other end of the rifle. The buttstock, one of the three critical interfaces with a shooter’s body can also be shortened for overall compactness. And CMMG has a new twist on […]
Safariland has been in the holster game for quite some time now and has established itself as an authority in the industry. They are world-renowned for their holsters and gear used by Law Enforcement and the Military. When they released a new line of IWB holsters, I was skeptical that they would be any better […]
Lightweight chairs are great to have for trips and different occasions. From overlanding to local picnics, a chair like Helinox’s Chair One is a lightweight and excellent camping chair. In fact, my dad used an earlier model of the Chair One on an airfield in Iraq while waiting for an aircraft to pick him up […]

Hearing protection is a crucial piece of gear to have when working in any noisy environment. And a day at the shooting range can have a detrimental effect on your hearing if not properly protected. “Eye’s and ears” are the first protective items I grab from the range bag as I pull up to the […]
I wasn’t always a fan of headlamps, in fact, I thought they were gimmicky and not all that functional. Decades of using hand-held flashlights in the military, law enforcement, and security work had institutionalized my mindset. Then, about eleven years ago, I discovered Goruck. And decided to participate in a local event. One of the […]
A good pair of sunglasses can make or break a day. Suppose they do not fit or function well with blocking the sun. In that case, the day can become less enjoyable due to the constant fiddling with sunglasses or having to keep one’s eyes squinted from the sun’s brightness. The Stiltsville from Bajío (bah-HEE-oh) […]
To say the market for striker fired polymer pistols is crowded is an understatement. However, when you look for models with threaded extended barrels and optics ready slides, that market becomes much smaller.
