Professional Gear Reviews
The demands imposed by Special Operations Forces (SOF) training and missions are unlike any athletic endeavor. Success requires the mustering of all strength and endurance—both physical and mental. SOF are “Warrior Athletes,” the ultimate athlete, at the top of the athletic pyramid. One factor that will contribute to mission success and lifelong health is good […]
This new dry fire training system is as simple and realistic as it gets without going to the range and using actual ammo. The system in a nut shell is a barrel replacement that is basically a CO2 cartridge. Each strike of the hammer actuates a pressure release valve that vents enough gas to work the […]
In a previous article I wrote – how to keep your family safe – I covered my Glock 26 and Glock 17. I’ve gotten several requests to do more in-depth reviews of the gear that was discussed. For this article, we will go into a little more detail regarding the Glock 17, the modifications I have made to […]
It is my pleasure to be the new editor of the Loadout Room. My goal and the goal of the writers is to deliver content focused on everything firearm and gear related (getting back to our roots). We are looking forward to using our many combined years of military experience to bring you our perspective […]

The fit and finish should also be top-notch along with the material selection. I don’t expect perfection, but it better be pretty darn close. A high-end carry knife is not […]
Compact survival kits are somewhat of a popular item in this day and age. The most common one you probably hear about is the Altoid tin survival kit (common among the bushcrafting community). This is a great concept, but the issue I commonly have is the size of the tin and the quality of the materials […]
Having a decent fixed blade knife is a must for outdoor, survival, and life skills. I’ve always got a folding knife in my pocket and have (within the past year) started carrying a fixed blade on a more regular basis. Some may think that’s overkill, but I believe the simplicity and reliability of a fixed […]
Emerson Knives has released a new signature series knife known as the Apache. Why the name Apache? The name of this blade is based on the Apache Indian Tribes. The Apache Indians were one of the more popular tribes in America. They were known as a commanding tribe with fierce warriors who showed no fear. […]
