Recently, I was sent a Zero Tolerance knife to review. Immediately upon unboxing, I realized the quality was far beyond my current EDC knife. This got me thinking about the rest of my EDC kit. So, I went searching for better gear that wouldn’t break the bank and I’ve found a few pieces of kit I […]
Gerber Paraframe Folding Knife
*Republished with permission from Hooks & Ammo The Gerber Paraframe knife has been my current everyday carry knife for a few months now. I like the features of the knife and at the price point, the knife is a great deal. Gerber is a respected name and their products have always been well made and have […]
The best surveillance cameras
For professional private investigators and even some in the security field, a piece of gear that seems to pile up over the years is cameras. Not only are we always searching for the next best thing, but when it comes to any type of electronic gear like cameras, the next best thing is always right […]
Weapons maintenance tips: Cleaners, lube and protectants
As we commonly see in firearms training, weapons maintenance is a reoccurring issue, most often due to too little or too much, in respect to both maintenance and application of products like cleaners, lube and/or protectants. Personally, I pre-treat the applicable parts of my weapons and mags with Militec-1, clean and preserve them with RemOil, and […]
Having the proper boots and socks at selection is essential

Hyve Industries Mag Release
*Republished with permission from Hooks & Ammo For the crowd that would rather watch a video than read here is the video review. My only issue so far with the Glock 22 is the mag release. The stock may release sits too tight to the grip for my preference. On the 22 it’s so close to […]
Vortex Venom Red Dot
*Republished with permission from Hooks & Ammo As always – video first When I started designing the pistol (Red Dot Glock Build ) that I wanted to have built for competitions I had a few things in mind, the biggest being I really wanted a red dot. I just had to research and I just didn’t […]
5.11 Rush Delivery LIMA: A contractors business bag
Fashion or Functionality? Yes, you can have both… When I first saw the RUSH Delivery LIMA my initial thought was: “This bag was far too technical for the everyday executive”.
