The Scrubba Tactical Washbag is a nice little design intending to keep your bags a little lighter by offering you the option of cleaning clothes easily and effectively.  While I posted my initial impressions here, I’ve now had the opportunity to air my dirty laundry a bit. To recap, the Scrubba is a polyether bag with […]
SOG Terminus EDC blade: All-purpose slip joint folding knife that is legal in many places
With hundreds of knife companies each putting out a number of new blades year in and year out, you have to admire their creativity. Managing dozens of blade shapes, steel compositions, frames, locks and pocket clips while trying to stay innovative and avoiding ground already covered is a daunting task. This is also why I […]
Precision rifle zeroing | Basics done right by Ranger sniper team leader
I’ve seen some pretty talented shooters making the same basic mistakes at the range. Over and over again, I see (and have fallen victim to) brain farts that should elude all but the most basic shooter. Screws that weren’t properly torqued coming loose in scope rings, spending far too long (and too many rounds) trying […]
Self Reliance & Preparedness | Precious Metals and The ‘End of The World’
Having an interest in history, I’ve been doing a good bit of reading on financial systems dating back to the Old Testament times (7th century BC) as well as more modern societies prior to fiat currencies (fiats are currencies declared by a Government to be valued at a certain amount but are not backed by […]
Jerry Miculek versus Bump stock | Man or machine?
While many online have spend considerable time debating the merits and demerits of bump stocks, one of the quickest ways to reductio ad absurdum (reduce to absurdity) the anti-bump stock argument is to point out that a talented shooter with a properly tuned rifle can exceed both the rate-of-fire and lethality generated by a bump stock […]
The SB Tactical SBA3 Brace
Pistol braces (or stabilizing braces) are still a relatively new product, debuting in 2013. Consider it a testament to their utility and popularity. In just five short years, they have gone from dwelling in an extreme niche to being featured on firearms from nearly every major manufacturer. For today’s review, we go back to the […]
.50 BMG versus Steel plate INSIDE ballistic gel
Rifles, optics, plate carriers and more: we at Loadout Room test and review a wide variety of gear. Sometimes though, we like to sit back and watch shit blow up. While I’m excitedly working on this week’s reviews, I currently have exactly zero .50 BMG chambered rifles, armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer (APIT) rounds, or even a nice little […]
5.11 Morale Pack: Memes will continue until morale improves
We here at Loadoutroom spend a lot of time testing equipment that people use in life-or-death situations. Serious gear used by military personnel, law enforcement and first responders. Every now and then it’s nice to take a break from the serious and indulge in the more lighthearted aspects of our industry. Such was the case […]
Zero Tolerance 0562 titanium handled knife | A titan among men
One of my favorite parts of SHOT show is always the Kershaw booth. Kershaw and Zero Tolerance are both owned by KAI Group and international cutlery organization. As such, both as shown off in the Kershaw booth. We walk in, exchange pleasantries then down opens the hidden shelf display to reveal this years line-up of […]
Jerry Miculek walks us through the Battle of the Bullpup Rifles
Famed All-World shooter Jerry Miculek is a veritable encyclopedia of firearms knowledge. Hearing him compare a few guns is an easy way to get an education, certainly from a different perspective than most firearms reviews due to his unparalleled shooting experience. In the following video, Jerry walks us through a range day, comparing and contrasting […]
