The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
You ever hear the line, “it ain’t easy being green”? Well it ain’t I’m 6’7″, flipper sized feet, piano fingers and a big hat size all crammed into one body walking around trying to make my way in the world, and some days I get the feeling the world just isn’t made for people my […]
Proud to present an article from Leland Keane, our gear review guru from the Nova Scotia. I read Steve Balestrieri’s review in Loadout Room from 2019 on the Salomon XA Forces Mid-Boot, with interest when planning to write this review. The boot in his review is similar but not waterproof. -(https://loadoutroom.com/117606/a-green-berets-take-on-the-salomon-xa-forces-mid-boot/) I purchased the XA […]
I’ve said it before, there was more technology than you could shake a gun at on display at SHOT SHOW 2024. Even when it wasn’t the most glamorous or “in your face electronics”, technology is making the shooting sports world better in a number of ways. Always a “thing” with shooting is your hearing protection […]
It’s not everyday that someone in the family graduates, and then it’s an even more rare occasion that someone graduates the Army Sniper Course held at Ft Moore, Columbus GA. Recently I was privileged to attend a graduation held there and came away with some impressions about the course and the people conducting it. The […]
Technology was EVERYWHERE at SHOT SHOW, you literally couldn’t walk an aisle without seeing at least two examples of it being leveraged to make something better in some way.

The SOFREP team was on the ground and meeting people at Industry Day AKA Range Day here at SHOT SHOW 2024. Day one is an outdoor event held at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City NV just outside of Las Vegas and what a day it was with plenty of guns and […]
Garfield’s “go-to tool” when dealing with brush, limbs, and small trees on his NW Florida rural property, and his Grandson’s favorite tool to steal away from him. Small enough to wield all day but capable enough to easily take on 3- and 4-inch thick cuts. https://youtu.be/hacm4KywPe0 When I bought this knife it was to try […]
For those who like single-point slings, they don’t just like them. They tend to LOVE them. If you’re a two-point sling person, sorry, this review isn’t for you. I bought my Phase 5 Weapon Systems sling approximately five years ago and have used it on various long guns, with and without my vest, in various […]
Yes, I’m sorry it’s yet ANOTHER entry in the multi-tool playground. In this case, it’s not a butterfly-opening multi-tool; it’s a prybar and a dam good one, too. I own three of similar size and function, but this is the only one I’ve got 2 of, and I bought it as a Christmas gift multiple […]
