Professional Gear Reviews
Blue Force Gear showcases its latest evolution in its PLATEminus Plate Carriers line with the all-new KLAUX Plate Carrier. The KLAUX sets itself apart from other armor carrier systems currently available by using a patent-pending quick attach buckle. This distinct emergency-release system is built directly into the front attachment points of the vest. This allows […]
One of my favorite movies from years back is HEAT. I think what intrigued me the most about the the movie was the professional appearance of the bank robbers. Yes they openly carried AR style rifles into the banks, but under their business suits were low-vis rigs that retained several 30 round magazines. Nowadays that […]
Aside from combat, I am most often asked about my experiences as a paratrooper. To become Airborne qualified (jump wings) you must first attend and pass Airborne school at Fort Benning, GA. I attended this course directly after Basic/AIT training. However, there were many people in my class that had been in the military for […]

Watch as the owner of ZERT who is a licensed executive protection agent, goes over his loadout when on a detail. Not only is the gear he covers for an executive protection detail, but it can also be modified to be used to protect your family. With all the threats we face in society today […]
Throughout my entire military carer I was challenged both physically, and mentally. However, it was always my mental toughness that saw me through whatever hardship I was facing. I watched PT (physical training) studs wash-out of various attrition schools because they lacked mental toughness. I wasn’t the best Ranger, nor was I the worst. I […]
One thing that a lot of people just getting into the tactical shooting community generally struggle with is the selection of kit or gear setup (plate carriers, chest rigs, holsters, etc.) that is right for them. If you’re like me, you’ll go through a wide array of gear before you settle on something or maybe multiple things that […]
When it comes to belts I am not a fan of them, never have been, but I see the use for them in addition to a plate carrier. My main problem with belts have always been the fitting issues under heavy loads they just slip and slide around. I understand that they are a benefit […]
The RECCE/ Sniper Chest Rack was designed and developed on the battlefield by Special Operations Snipers. I know we hear the word “operator” being thrown around a lot when it comes to the military community or gear, but what makes it “operator” worthy? The word operator is in reference to Tier 1 special operations units, commonly referred […]
The USMC issued sub-belt is bulky, uncomfortable, and will not fit under a ruck. Yes, it will fill the purpose of moving some gear off your plate carrier, and yes it will support missions not requiring armor but it isn’t comfortable. If you’re already in an uncomfortable situation shouldn’t your gear be comfortable? With this […]
