Nightstick Weapon Lights
While completely geeking out on flashlights and weapon lights at SHOT Show a couple of months ago, I came across Nightstick lights. Brian, the Nightstick rep I spoke to, immediately pointed out some of the perks of Nightstick lights, which were quality, price point, brightness, and function. One of the coolest features he showed me, […]
Praesidus A-11 Commemorative Watches: Recreating WWII History
When watchmaker Praesidus reached out to us about their watches I had to admit I was intrigued. They didn’t just have a watch they wanted us to see, they wanted to tell us a story about the watch and the paratroopers who inspired Praesidus to make them. Tom Rice was an accomplished athlete at San […]
Juggernaut IMPCT Tactical Phone Case Review
When it comes to tactical phone cases for recent phone models, the Juggernaut IMPCT Tactical Phone Case is as good as it gets.
Dark Energy Chargers: A Bright Spot in the Market
When it comes to portable chargers, I’ve always needed them, but I’ve never exactly been excited about them. After all, what could be exciting about a rectangular charging block that is utilized solely for charging my electronics? Are they necessary for me? Yes. Exciting? Not. At least that’s what I thought… Like some of the […]
Faraday Defense: Protection through Hell, High Water and EMPs
When I saw the Faraday Defense booth at the 2022 SHOT Show, I was intrigued. As a police officer, I spent a bit of time in our county police’s Faraday cage (it houses all electronics seized during an arrest or after serving a search warrant), and I always found it intriguing. Since that time, I’ve […]
Ledlenser Flashlights Gear Review
As I was walking through the glorious jungle of gear that was the 2022 SHOT Show, I came across a small booth for a company that has become one of my most used and most beloved flashlight brands; Ledlenser. The brand was founded in 1994 when two brothers with no more than a dream and […]
Savior Equipment Weapon Cases: Where Top-Quality and Usefulness Meet
Two weeks ago I wrote an article titled, “SHOT Show Day 3: Faraday Defense Bags to Machine Gun Guitar Cases.” In that article, I highlighted a couple of brands that I found most compelling while in Las Vegas covering the 2022 SHOT Show. One of those brands was Savior Equipment. When I first saw the […]
You Can Get These Flashbang Grenades (100% Legally!)
Let’s keep the record straight once and for all: Flashbangs are produced for military and law enforcement purposes, and civilians are therefore not allowed to own one in the United States without a special license. Too bad because they’re pretty cool with their disorienting effects on enemies— temporary blindness and deafness. What if I tell […]
An Unbreakable Umbrella for Self-Defense? Why not!
If you have to choose your best pick of self-defense, what would it be? Pepper spray? Tasers? Maybe a gun? How about an umbrella? Remember the bar fight scene in the Kingsman: The Secret Service where Hary Harth (played by Colin Firth) beat those angsty men in style with nothing but his umbrella? You don’t […]
