Professional Gear Reviews
In my first look we covered what the Blue Force Gear Saw Pouch was made from. If you haven’t read that I suggest checking it out here. Today, I’m doing a pure performance review. The SAW pouch by Blue Force Gear is a big pouch. You can squeeze a wide variety of different pieces of gear […]
Minuteman is likely best known for their high-end watches, and if you’ve heard of them you likely know how much they do for the veteran community. Before we dive into the Adjutant knife I want to remind folks that Minuteman watches donates 25% of their annual profits to veteran charities, including the Gary Sinise Foundation, […]
Blue Force Gear’s Vickers slings are famous for their ingenious design, and simplicity. What started as a standard AR sling has been slowly adopted into a variety of platforms. This includes options for the SAW, the M240 and of course the AK series of rifles. This particular model is the Special edition AK Sling Version […]
Shockingly enough this is the first Spyderco I’ve ever owned. Part of me has always wanted to try one, especially after see fellow Loadout Room writers Scott and Rex review Spyderco knives. Finally, I got lucky enough for an opportunity to review the Spyderco Bradley folder 2, a large and capable folding knife. The first thing that catches your […]

With the rise of the plate carrier over the standard full-sized armor carrier the market responded with a wide variety of options. Seeing plate carrier evolve from what I used in Afghanistan in 2009 to what they’ve become in 2017 has been fascinating. It’s […]
The Kershaw Barstow is an excellent example that form can follow function. Sure, we don’t need our gear to look pretty. We just want it to work. If it just so happens to look slick and work you are batting 1,000. The Kershaw Barstow is an interesting little folding knife that aims to stand out […]
