We’ve all been listening to the AR-15 vs AK-47 debate for years. Rather than being content with producing quality AR’s, CMMG has thrown their hat into the hybrid ring and has produced the MK47 Mutant: a heavily modified rifle based on the AR-15, chambered in 7.62×39 and adapted to use AK-47 mags. Based on CMMG’s […]
During the majority of my military service with the 2nd Ranger Battalion, I used an Aimpoint M68/Comp M2. While I also used an ACOG at times, the trusty Comp M2 rode with me on nearly every mission during my 5 combat deployments. Never one hiccup, never one failure. Aimpoint (of Sweden) earned a great deal […]
Grey Ghost Gear (GGG) is one part of the strategic triumvirate that also features Grey Ghost Precision (GGP) and Tactical Tailor. While GGP deals in lead-slinging hardware and Tactical Tailor knocks out mind-boggling amounts of gear tailor-made for warfighters, GGG has a somewhat smaller scope. To me, the result of this focus is GGG having an […]
Tactical Assault Gear (TAG) started up back in 2001, producing quality tactical gear out of Imperial Beach, California. While primary ownership changed when LC Industries purchased TAG, their commitment to producing 100% Made In America (and Berry Compliant) gear remains the same. Today I’m writing about my experiences testing out their Everyday Pack in Multicam Arid. Weighing […]
Vorn Equipment of Stavanger, Norway has quietly been releasing some fantantiske rifle packs. When I received their Lynx hunting pack a few months ago, I had positive initial impressions. Now, I’ve had the Lynx for long enough to really test it out and get a feel for how it performs. Vorn’s Lynx is a 12 to 20 liter […]
ALG Defense is the sister company to Geissele Automatics. While the latter has won a hard-earned reputation as a manufacturer of premium AR aftermarket triggers, ALG Defense is warranting attention on their own merits. Started by Amy Lynn Geissele (hence, ALG) in 2012, ALG Defense brings a pedigree of precision machining and innovation to the […]
The Woodsman shirt by Prometheus Design Werx (under their Danger Ranger Bear line) is billed as being “like your grandfathers favorite outdoor shirt he wore to the cabin”. True to form, trying this on was very reminiscent of borrowing my father’s, or grandfathers, wool shirts for hunting in the Alaskan wilderness when I’d grown big […]
Mission First Tactical (MFT) may be best known for their Minimalist buttstock, but that shouldn’t outshine the number of other good products they’re putting out there. Pistol grips, magazines, holsters and now micro-utility lights. Enter the Torch Backup Light. For the sake of this article I will be referring to the Torch Backup Light as […]
V Seven Weapons Systems has been producing some killer products for the AR-15 for a while now, but the items that really make them stand out from the crowd are their parts made from titanium and 2055 lithium-aluminum alloy (which is better than 7075 aluminum in just about every way). Not long ago I had […]
Blue Force Gear has helped the modern warfighter redefine what a lightweight kit looks like with their Ten-Speed line of gear. Constructed from their ULTRAcomp laminate, 70D ripstop nylon and military-grade elastic, the Ten-Speed series of pouches and chest rigs has drastically shed pounds. With that introduction, today we’re talking about BFG’s belt-mounted dump pouch. […]
