Professional Gear Reviews
Whether you’re running a chest rig or a plate carrier, there are some key features or additions that are going to remain requirements no matter what. I will readily admit that not everyone has the same needs for their gear but the following serves as a good rule of thumb. Magazines, communication, medical, and all […]
Whether you are a Military, LEO, security or a competition shooter, your choice for a battle belt is a one to be made with no small consideration.  A good belt needs to be versatile, rigid, easy to take on and off and shouldn’t add too much bulk to the other gear you use to get […]
Assault: 1. The Climax of an attack, closing with the enemy in hand-to-hand fighting. 2. To make a short, violent, but well-ordered attack against a local objective, such as a gun emplacement, a fort, or a machine gun nest. – (Joint Pub 1-02) There was a time when I was cool. Way back in 2009-2010 […]
The ability to have comms and navigation when traveling is critical these days. On a trip to Europe, I used my cell phone and just added on an international plan while overseas. Although that temporary data plan only cost me an additional $10 a day, I still went over my monthly data limit and got […]
The Loadout Room has reviewed it’s fair share of Range Bags. All of which have their own merits. But trying to find the one with the best features-to-price ratio can be difficult. 5.11 Tactical has bridged the gap and created a well-built, feature-rich bag that won’t break the bank. Retailing for $99.99, the Range Ready […]
A few months back I was looking for something to hold my pocket stuff that I would unload when I got home. My usual MO is to just unload it onto the kitchen counter and leave it there until the next time I go out. That wasn’t being received as domestically acceptable anymore so I […]
The new BMW R 1250 GS: concentrated performance meets impressive efficiency. With the new BMW R 1250 GS you will experience the new Boxer even more directly. An increase in engine displacement brings you even more performance – pumping out 136 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control system ensures consistent […]
I recently received the 5.11 Mission Ready Document Bag (MRDB) for evaluation. Being a long time user of 5.11 gear and clothing I was really looking forward to the opportunity. When I opened the box I was surprised at what I saw. The first thought I had was is this piece of 5.11 gear or […]
A couple of months ago, Gadsden Dynamics sent out a War Belt for review.  I put up my initial impressions here, but have now spent enough time at the range and over the hills to deliver a final review. For a quick refresher, the War Belt weighs only 10 oz (with optional AustriAlpin Cobra buckle upgrade) and is 3 MOLLE […]
I recently acquired this Zero Tolerance 0460TI and was immediately drawn to its pronounced ergonomic design. Similar to the original 0460 by ZT the folder fits neatly into the hollow of your hand, giving you a comfortable and secure grip on the tool. Unlike the original 0460, this knife is all titanium; built for toughness […]
