I was invited recently to shoot at Professional shooter Taran Butler’s private range just north of LA. It was a good day at the range with good company. Anyway, I’m not a big “match” (no one is shooting back at you either) shooter, but Taran is obviously a Pro and was a super nice guy. […]
Mike Ritland’s Concealed Carry: The Diamondback 380
I was out in Texas picking up my dog from Military Working and Private Protection Dog trainer Mike Ritland and noticed he had a new personal concealed carry piece. I’ve never shot this little bad boy but Mike’s endorsement is good enough for me (Mike and I served together at SEAL TEAM THREE GOLF Platoon). […]
Former Navy SEAL/CIA Contractor Glen Doherty’s Review Of His Asolo Hiking Boots
Special thanks to CR at Massif for digging this up and sending it to me. At the time Massif was branching out into the commerical market and had a partnership with myself, they eventually decided to focus solely on government sales and we parted ways. They’re a great company with incredible people, and I continue […]
Triple Aught Design: An American Brand
I had a chance to get my hands on several pieces of Kit from Triple Aught Design (TAD) right before Christmas. For those who don’t know them, they’re a great brand, and like any good company, the people are what make them so good. About Triple Aught Design Engineers and machinists use 000 (triple aught) […]
Nato Band: Not Just a Gimmick
I’ve tried several “Nato copy cat” type watch bands, some that look better and appear stronger but have been largely disappointed.

I had a chance to sit down, and have lunch with a good friend of mine Aaron Tankersley in San Diego last month to catch up. Aaron is the CEO of Micro Power (see below), and their company is doing some great things when it comes to adding capabilities to wireless surveillance cameras. I know […]
When Polymer Guns Fail: HK P2000
From May 2012 “FYI/SA – A Lordsburg BPA (Border Patrol Agent) fell off his ATV while in training today. The fall was precipitous and required a short visit to the hospital. There was some collateral damage, the BPA’s P2000 handgun. It is believed that his CSB, given the location behind the gun, may have created […]
Concealed Carry: The Diamond Back 380
When I was out at my friend and former SEAL platoon mate Mike Ritland’s ranch just outside of Dallas he showed me his concealed carry of choice. I haven’t had a chance to fire this bad boy but Mike said it’s a great little gun and he carries it everywhere. You have to love Texas […]
Useable Waterproof iPhone Case: Yes It Does Exist
My friend and former SEAL teammate, Eric, turned me onto to the LIFEPROOF iPhone case. Eric said, “this case lets me take my iPhone surfing with the kids”, and I just shot him a sideways look and said, “Seriously?”. He ended up offering up his phone to me poolside (at his house) but, like most […]
