With the ever advancing march of machining technology bringing us lighter and stronger parts made from exotic materials, it has been recently popular for writers to detail their efforts to construct a lightweight AR-15.

Extra Carry is producing a magazine caddy designed for concealed carry use: no more loose magazine in the pocket and no more bulky pouch on your belt. The Extra Carry (EC hereafter) is being billed as the solution to a number of issues facing those carrying a spare magazine with their concealed carry kit. The EC […]
Axelson Tactical was founded in honor of the memory of Matt Axelson, a SEAL who was killed in the line of duty. The fact that I’m starting the review process of the ROC Competition muzzle brake the day after Memorial day is not lost on me. Now that the day dedicated to the memory of […]

Winter has ceased its final death throes and Spring is moving in quickly. As such, the outdoor seasons are upon us! Its time to dust off your camping gear, repack your ruck and get ready to hit the trail. Below I’ll discuss my hiking and hunting loadouts. Boots: One of the most crucial elements to […]
When Spyderco released the Paramilitary model 2 (AKA the Para 2), it became a legend among knife enthusiasts, even making #1 on knifenews.com’s top 25 list.
