Well, the answer is actually an easy one. There is no perfect survival knife. The closest thing to it is the one that you have with you in a survival situation. The brand name and quality of the knife are irrelevant at that point. A sharpened rock, a razor blade, broken piece of glass or […]
Realistically, when most of us investigate a bump in the night or answer an unexpected knock on the door, we do so with a home defense pistol and not a long gun. The reasons vary but are mostly due to the convenience and concealability a pistol provides. Shooing away the local Girl Scouts with a […]
The D-60 is not without some challenges, but first one must understand the point of a drum mag, especially when the wildly popular, reliable, and inexpensive 30 round PMAGs are common. So why a 60 round drum instead of two 30 round magazines? Here are some reasons, but I bet you can think of more. […]
Survival knives have come in many shapes and forms over the years, the most common being a large knife with all kinds of goodies stashed inside a handle with a screw-off base. That’s a good idea, but if the knife is not what you need, then the benefits don’t outweigh the need to carry it. […]
Some years ago the late Chuck Karwan introduced me to a very talented Oregon knifemaker named Steve Huey. The maker’s knives are well known for being no-nonsense, hard-working tools that will perform under the most extreme conditions.

With most military units it is relatively easy to identify issue weapons and equipment. With the U.S. Navy SEALs—not so much!

Often, each Special Boat Team, Seal Delivery Vehicle Team, or SEAL Team purchases special equipment to fit the unit’s mission. A […]
The Stick Up! Holster by 2A Holster is a fantastic idea.  Using large, secure suction cups you can mount the Stick Up! in your car, your nightstand, under your desk – pretty much anywhere.  The kydex holster comes complete with extra suction cups and hardware.  There are multiple mounting holes so that you can configure […]
Poland has a rich tradition of parachute troops dating back to Free Polish paratroopers who jumped at Arnhem during World War II. This tradition continued throughout the Cold War when Polish airborne forces were considered one of the better units in the Warsaw Pact. Today, the Polish 6th Air Assault Brigade (Airborne) was the first […]
T.REX ARMS came to my attention after admittedly impressive speed drill videos from their Instagram account kept popping up in my feed. I had more or less sworn off appendix carry for my personal needs, but when I picked up the G19 MOS I decided to give it another shot. I went on a little AIWB […]
Recently I found myself looking for a carry-platform for my new bullpup air rifle, an EdGun Lelya full power PCP. I searched through many bags, cases, and other options before I finally decided to go with a backpack. It was a great decision and I’d like to tell you about more about my final choice, an […]
