I remember saving up to buy this beautiful $350 Microtech SOCOM Elite automatic/switchblade back around 2001-2002. One night I was waiting for a friend to meet me in his parking lot at his apt building, super sketchy neighborhood.

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.
