Kershaw Blur Tanto | EDC Excellence

Kershaw Blur Tanto | EDC Excellence

I have a wild abundance of pocket knives, being of the mindset that it’s nice to have one in my pocket at all times and one in each pack/rack and bag that I use regularly.  As such, it’s tough for one to win “king of the hill” and be the blade that I carry every day […]

Lucid P7 4x Optic | Quick Look

Lucid P7 4x Optic | Quick Look

The Lucid P7 is a 4x prismatic optic based on the same (expired) patent as the Trijicon ACOG.  Nearly every Ranger I served with who was issued an ACOG loved them: there’s a strong desire in the marketplace for a similar scope tailored more for the sporting market.  Most people are willing to trade-off a few […]

Radian Weapons Model 1 Rifle | First Impressions

Radian Weapons Model 1 Rifle | First Impressions

I put in a call to Radian Weapons (formerly AXTS) looking to gather test and eval units of some smaller parts and as luck would have it, ended up getting them all in the form of a hand-built rifle.  My first range day ended up having significant rain and wind blow in, preventing me from shooting […]

Danner Tachyon | First Impressions

Danner Tachyon | First Impressions

It turns out one of the most exciting clothing products I saw at this year’s SHOT show wasn’t even a new one for 2017.  The Danner Tachyon was one of the few items I had circled not two but three times in my notebook to review once I had returned to the ol’ homestead.  Imagine my […]

Danner Footwear | Factory Tour

Danner Footwear | Factory Tour

If you’ve served in the US military or have spent significant time hiking trails across North America, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts you have at least a passing familiarity with Danner footwear.  While in 2nd Ranger Battalion out of Ft. Lewis, I was issued a set of Danners (the Acadia I believe) as my cold […]

Kershaw Westin | Daily Duty

Kershaw Westin | Daily Duty

Kershaw has been a big name in the knife industry for a long while now.  Founded in 1974, these knives have earned a solid reputation among end-users.  The Tualitin, Oregon based company offers a lifetime warranty on their knives- even the most inexpensive models.  Having heard of Kershaw many times over the years, I was […]

Hard Head Veterans ATE Helmet

Hard Head Veterans ATE Helmet

My initial impression of the Hard Head Veterans ATE Helmet This helmet is the ATE, made by Hard Head Veterans of Colorado.  The ATE provides level IIIA ballistic protection and is NIJ certified by National Technical Systems. My experience with ballistic brain buckets started in 2000 with the venerable PASGT.  If you’ve worn one, you […]

XS Sights Big Dot Xpress Tritium Set | Review

XS Sights Big Dot Xpress Tritium Set | Review

Sorely needing to upgrade the stock sights on my G17 frankengun, I got the warm and fuzzies during my install of XS Sights 24/7 Big Dot Xpress tritium sight set.  Popping off the old plastic aiming nubs took just as long as getting these new beauties on.  Early this week I finally had to chance […]

Thermacell ProFlex Heated Insoles

Thermacell ProFlex Heated Insoles

Not too long ago I had the chance to start testing Thermacell’s Proflex heated insoles.  My initial impressions article can be found here.  These are the heavy-duty, premium offering from Thermacell so if these aren’t sufficient, I don’t think any of their options will be. Being adequate isn’t a concern here though.  If your worries […]

Crate Club Review | Princeton Tec FRED Headlamp

Crate Club Review | Princeton Tec FRED Headlamp

Crate Club is an interesting beast.  The product of our mutual parent company Hurricane Inc., Crate Club is our take on the subscription based box of surprise tactical goodies.  The tough part in selling a box of unknown goods is proving the value without ruining the element of surprise.  We’ve been asked to review some […]
