Professional Gear Reviews
You’ve got to hand it to a company that specializes in and produces products within one category. It takes ingenuity and focus to keep your product line narrowly defined, not spiraling out into every conceivably related field. Such is the vision apparent within Exotac, a company which is centered around Ranger TV: fire and fire […]
Morakniv of Sweden has been making blades for over a hundred years. Â While the company has undergone a few name changes, their commitment to crafting ultra-sharp knives for use at home or in the field has never wavered. I recently received the Morakniv Tactical for testing and evaluation. Â While I’m busy taking this thing out […]
When you’re out in the woods, it seems the one thing you never have quite enough of is light. Â Either it’s not strong enough, focused enough or just not where you need it. Â Princeton Tec is constantly working to make the best, brightest and lightest light you’ll find, so you won’t ever be stuck in […]
While it’s great to read up on a specific round’s accuracy potential before a big purchase, (for purposes other than target shooting) it’s equally important to know what kind of terminal performance to expect the projectile to achieve as well. As I’m getting ready to spin up an article on some handgun ammo reviews I […]
The fanboy debate on AR15 vs. AK47 has died down to an extent due to the former shifting the narrative away from a caliber specific matchup, to a comparison based purely on the merits of the operating system. A few companies have tried to blur the line by combining traits of the two platforms, creating […]
While in the midst of building up my ultralight AR-15, I came across the AR-15 Parts Weight Database (PWD). This wonderful little resource has compiled both advertised and user-verified weights for a vast multitude of AR parts and accessories which is great for planning out your build, as well as discovering products that you hadn’t […]
Everyone has their own routine when they hit the range: most will set up targets, many will check their zero. From watching a few casual shooters at the range, next comes practicing their ability to stand straight up and sling lead to an area +-3 yards around a target that’s about 50 yards away. Don’t […]
A number of years ago, I was tired of giving out hours of free advice and spending significant time assisting others in building rifles. I decided it was time to put the weapons expertise I had learned as a Ranger to my benefit, go legit and pick up my FFL. I opened up a shop […]
If you’re a regular reader of Loadout Room, you may have seen a few articles I’ve posted over the last year detailing the building, then improvement of an off-the-shelf AR-15 that was as light as I could make it while staying within certain constraints. I wanted a rifle that was under 6 pounds, with the […]
While fancy flat triggers show up nicely on Instagram feeds and super race triggers can improve the group size and split speeds of talented shooters, most AR owners are still using a basic mil-spec trigger. In fact, many agencies are prohibited from straying far at all off the beaten path. As ALG’s website states, the Quality Mil-Spec trigger […]
