The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a watch nerd. Can’t get enough of ’em. Don’t tell my wife, but my current collection is hovering somewhere in the 30-something range. When you are in the military, an accurate timepiece is an absolute necessity. It’s a piece of kit—a tool. Heck, you can […]
I have been fascinated with the thought of modular weapons systems for as long as I can remember. I tend to fluctuate between wanting to keep pistols bone stock and going absolutely crazy with customizations. Modularity really helps with the latter, so today I’d like to look at 3 modular handgun systems today. We will […]
Hey everyone, I wanted to take a break from the tips and include a review of my favorite Plate Carrier (PC.) I have been wearing this plate carrier for the last 3 years, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in several key areas. First and foremost, the construction of this plate carrier is […]

The Chest Rig is a easily recognizable piece of kit. What your mission, purpose and use will determine which chest rig is best for you. I personally use multiple brands and own variations ranging from the 1980s Soviet Chest rigs to the modern issued TAPs System and Blue Force gear slick chest rigs. Here […]
There’s something primal about holding a shield, especially one designed with modern ingenuity like the Adept NovaSteel Buckler. For those of us who appreciate tactical gear that’s as functional as it is badass, this buckler hits all the right marks. It’s compact, durable, and has that ‘I can handle whatever comes my way’ vibe. So, […]
Summer is upon us in south Florida, and that means sweat – lots of it. Standard beach (and shooting range) attire here seems to consist mostly of sun shirts – those light & loose SPF tops that fishermen wear. Yeah…that doesn’t work for me. While they might ward off the UV rays and provide a […]
Best boots for Combat sim, hiking, and general use? A lot of people have a favorite brand of boot when it comes to military service, camping experience or outdoor activities. I am one of those people. I have some recommendations, tips, as well as complaints. Here are a couple of options that range for […]
“Parting is such sweet sorrow” Although the Bard was referring to the love between Romeo and Juliet it’s appropriate for my feelings today as I’m bidding a fond farewell to a rifle we’ve been testing on multiple range trips lately, the Anderson Frontline 16. Vincent’s original comment in my first article was echoed by numerous […]
