Glock 30 vs Springfield XDS 45 Cal Range Day Shoot Out

Going to the range is always fun, getting to shoot more guns and some awesome Black Hills ammo makes it even more so.  In this case, I was testing my new Glock 30 with its 3.78″ barrel and comparing it to my old CCW pistol a Springfield XDS with its 3.3″ barrel.  I wanted a […]

308 Winchester vs. 7.62 NATO: What’s The Difference?

Proud to present an article from our new contributor, Ben Wilson! When it comes to rifle cartridges, few debates ignite as much fervor as the comparison between the 308 Winchester and the 7.62 NATO. While similar in appearance and performance, these two cartridges have key differences that set them apart. Understanding these differences is crucial […]

1000 Meter Accuracy With the 6mm Aero Precision Solus

Proud to present an article from Forest Bruton, one of our local LoadoutRoom Team members and contributors. I was looking for an off-the-shelf bolt rifle to fill in for my MPA BA Pro in 6mm Creedmoor.  After shopping around all the options, I determined it would be the Solus. After watching countless reviews in many […]

Another Glock? Yes It’s Another Glock For the LoadoutRoom

So there I was perusing the daily email when I saw it, a Law enforcement turn-in Glock 30 Gen 4 at a nice price from AIM Surplus.  Try as I might I couldn’t pass it by and so a few days later I was at Grey Man Armory filling out paperwork, again. I’ll admit I’d […]

Do I Buy it Here, Or There, Or…?

Do I buy another gun, that’s not really a question, is it?!!  The real question, especially in today’s economy, is where and for how much $$ do I buy that gun?  THAT answer is often long and convoluted so we’re only going to delve into a portion of it here today.  Today we talk about […]

A New Take On the Updated Salomon Xa Forces Mid Boot

Proud to present an article from Leland Keane, our gear review guru from the Nova Scotia. I read Steve Balestrieri’s review in Loadout Room from 2019 on the Salomon XA Forces Mid-Boot, with interest when planning to write this review. The boot in his review is similar but not waterproof. -(https://loadoutroom.com/117606/a-green-berets-take-on-the-salomon-xa-forces-mid-boot/) I purchased the XA […]

Pic of the Day, It’s Graduation Time

It’s not everyday that someone in the family graduates, and then it’s an even more rare occasion that someone graduates the Army Sniper Course held at Ft Moore, Columbus GA. Recently I was privileged to attend a graduation held there and came away with some impressions about the course and the people conducting it. The […]

SHOT SHOW 2024, Day One in the Rearview Mirror

The SOFREP team was on the ground and meeting people at Industry Day AKA Range Day here at SHOT SHOW 2024. Day one is an outdoor event held at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City NV just outside of Las Vegas and what a day it was with plenty of guns and […]

Extended Magazines and New Earplugs or, How to Accessorize for Range Day

Never-ending magazines are just a thing from Hollywood but SGM has some extended magazines that allow you to shoot just a little longer whether you need to or not. These magazines are twenty-six-round magazines made for the Glock double stack .45 cal models. Imagine twenty-six .45 caliber bits of love all loaded into your Glock […]

The New Toy, if You Can Call a Glock 41 a Toy

I recently decided to swap out my Glock 21 for a new Glock 41 Gen 4.  I was eager to see the difference in trigger pull and the slightly longer sight radius due to the longer barrel and its status as “Competition Size”. I had a brief chance to compare a Glock 21 model to […]
