The Propper BA Softshell Duty Jacket

Winter has finally arrived in my little slice of Florida, with temperatures in the 50s it’s downright chilly for us sun people. I can finally put on my new Propper BA Softshell Duty shell. The fine folks at Propper sent it to me a while back but it’s hardly been cold enough for a proper […]

Propper Full Zip Tech Sweater: Stay Tactically Cozy

Propper Full Zip Tech Sweater: Stay Tactically Cozy

My favorite two seasons are finally upon us, fall and winter. Now in some parts of the country, these seasons may not be so celebrated. In Florida, it’s a welcome reprieve from 80% humidity and 98-degree temperatures. Living in North Western Florida it still gets cold(ish). So this year after losing 45 pounds I knew I […]

The ShapeShift Shoulder Holster

The ShapeShift Shoulder Holster

I have a real affinity for shoulder holsters, and I don’t know where it comes from. I like to say its from living in Florida and being a Miami Vice fan. However, being in Florida doesn’t give me a lot of opportunities to wear a shoulder rig, and good shoulder rigs are expensive. Is the […]

The Baby AR: How Small is Too Small?

The Baby AR: How Small is Too Small?

Watching the industry a bit has shown me that there have been two big, but completely separate trends. One is long range guns, with calibers like the 6.5 Creedmoor, and 224 Valkyrie becoming quite popular and the other being smaller is better. Smaller is better applies mostly firearms that are traditionally long guns. This includes […]

The Evolution of the Pistol Brace

I’ve gotten nostalgic recently; you see I gave a friend of mine an old SB 15 brace I had lying around. Recently they whipped it out and I got nostalgic. Seeing that old pistol brace brought back good memories of a time where I was more carefree and thumbing my nose at the ATF was […]

Is the 300 Blackout for You? Let’s Talk

The 300 BO is likely the most successful alternative AR rifle cartridge to exist outside of 22 LR. There are lots of reason for its success. The first is parts commonality. The 300 Blackout allows you to use standard AR 15 everything outside of the barrel and gas system. Magazines, BCGs, everything is compatible. All you need […]

Complacency Kills: Why I chose CZ over Glock

Are we at the point where you can say things about Glock without a legion of fanboys coming after you? This article won’t be me crapping on Glocks, and I’ll fully say Glocks are great guns. They are reliable, have decent triggers, and they are used around the world for a reason. Are they the […]
