Back in January of this year, I wrote a paragraph for the LOR’s “Photo of the Day” on a basic and very simple way to carry a small amount of duct and electrical tape. The method used there by wrapping it around a card of some sort, has been my go-to way of carrying extra […]

Grey Ghost Precision Offers Dual Optic Compatibility
The Slide, Improved by GGP I like Glock pistols and I like red dot sights. Optic sights on your combat gun allow for faster target transition, a wider field of view with both eyes open, quicker sight acquisition of your target, improved accuracy at close and long distances, and allow you to stay target focused.

Bubs Naturals Collagen Protein and the SmartShake Shaker make for a solid 1-2 punch
Pounding a protein shake after your workout is as American as apple pie, but just because something’s a tradition doesn’t mean you can’t shake it up a little.

Hitting the Georgia trails with the LifeSaver Liberty water purification system
Last year, I set out on a run-of-the-mill 14-mile hike with a good friend from my Marine Corps days. The plan was simple: carry everything you need for two days on your back, we’d cover seven leisurely miles on the first day, make camp somewhere with a view, and then hike back out the following […]

Sig Sauer P365 vs. Glock 43 | Size matters
Ever since the announcement of Sig’s new P365 micro compact pistol, I’ve eagerly anticipated its arrival. At SHOT Show, I had the pleasure of handling the pistol at the Sig Sauer booth but missed the opportunity to shoot it on Range Day. Apparently, Sig Sauer has their own range day and doesn’t participate in the […]
Rad on Gear: Talkin’ RATS Tourniquets in Southern Utah
Contrary to the many misconceptions about tourniquets that took hold throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s, having a good quality tourniquet in your kit is an absolute must. When it comes to life saving gear, it’s tough to beat the bang for your weight-carrying-buck offered by tourniquets like RATS. In this edition of Rad on Gear, […]
Purse Carry: Best Option for Ladies’ Concealed Carry?
One concealed carry option available to women is carrying in one’s purse (I suppose it’s also an option for those trendy “man purses,” if you’re fashion forward enough to sport one…). For ladies like my mother, who can’t imagine going anywhere without one of their helpful handbags glued to their side, purse carry could be […]
