The Nitecore P20i – A Pumped Up Flashlight

Need a powerful light that doesn’t cost a small fortune? Well, then Nitecore might be for you. Nitecore makes a wide variety of lights, batteries, and chargers. People like Cloud Defensive use Nitecore chargers with their products for a reason. Nitecore was kind enough to send me the P20i for test and review, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Breaking Down the P20i

The P20i is a handheld style light that’s a little big for EDC use, especially if you are in business or formal wear. It’s 5.61 inches long and 1.25 inches wide at the widest point. The light does weigh a relatively lightweight 4 ounces.

What makes the P20i impressive is the 1850 lumens backed by 29,500 candela. That’s a lot of power in a little light. That’s the high mode, and the medium and low modes reduce lumen and candela counts to save battery when you don’t need a massive amount of light. The mid mode gives you 280 lumens, and the low mode is 35 lumens for long battery life.

Speaking of, the P20i can use a 4000 MAH 21700i battery or 2 CR123 batteries. Dual fuel designs are always a good touch. You do get the rechargeable battery, but if it dies, you can toss in some disposable CR123s and keep going. The light can use an independent charge, or you can just plug the whole light in. The light is compatible with a USB C charger, so it is completely compatible with my phone charger.

The tip is also fitted with a strike bezel. You never know when you need to break glass or someone’s face with your light. The P20i has all the little tactical features you know and love.

The P20i In Action

I charged it and had to wait a painfully long time for night to settle in. I just wanted to play with my ultra-powerful light! Finally, the sun set, and I start lighting the world up around me. Holy crap, this thing is bright. The beam lights up targets as far as 100 yards without much difficulty. A light reaching 100 yards isn’t impressive.

A light reaching 100 yards and providing enough light to easily identify everything at my range is impressive. I can see colors and details. When paired with a little magnification, I can see tons of details and features. I can, without issue, identify a threat or target in great detail.

The beam has enough spill to fill your peripheral vision. Indoors it lights up huge rooms without issue. Light is cast from left to right and fills my vision. The hot spot is large and immediately apparent. Nitecore’s P20i has a decent compromise between spill and throw for good range and a wide, bright beam.

The P20i shines a cool beam temperature-wise. It’s slightly blue but not so far into the cool territory that it messes with other colors.

Controls include two buttons that have multi-use functions. The big main clicky button controls the momentary and constant mode. A soft touch provides a momentary beam, and a hard click is constant. It comes out on high mode out of the gate. A smaller, flushing fitting button allows you to swap between high, medium, and low mode.

That same flush-fitting button can be used to activate the strobe mode by itself. The strobe mode can only be activated when the light is off, and the strobe is only a momentary setting. When the button is released, the strobe shuts off.

Shining Lights

I tested the P20i for a few hours one night through its various modes and found that it will step down in lumens to avoid overheating. Although it does get still get hot. I’m not a huge fan of lights that step down their lumens, so that’s one downside to the light. For a budget light, I can’t complain much. What turns me off is that I can’t find any information regarding what lumens count it steps down, and Nitecore doesn’t necessarily tell you that step-down occurs.

If that doesn’t bother you, the Nitecore P20i is a good light at a low price point. It’s quite bright with some serious power…until it warms up. For short bursts, it’s a good light, or if you want to use the medium mode, then the light works extremely well for most uses. It’s a light perfect for camping, hunting, hiking, and similar tasks. For duty use, I’d stick to Streamlight and Surefire, but for everything else, the Nitecore P20i brings enough power, a durable, compact design, and an easily rechargeable one at that.

The Rush24 2.0 From 5.11 Tactical

The 5.11 Rush series have been around for almost 15 years now. This year we see the first update in the form of the Rush 2.0 series. We got our greedy mitts on the Rush24 2.0 and have been putting it through its paces.

What’s New With The Rush24 2.0

First, they added a concealed carry pouch. It’s hidden ingeniously but quick to access. It sits as a pocket between the front pocket and main pouch. It’s sealed with hook and loop, so it’s effortless to open and access.

Second, the inside of the main pouch now features a laptop pouch that allows you to fit a 15-inch laptop in it. This was added due to user demand. The EDC world has largely adopted military and tactical packs, so small things are changing to better accommodate every user. Plus, the tactical world is changing, the implementation of technology is being infused into our warfighters.

The Rush24 2.0 comes in a multitude of colors, including tactical favorites like Multicam, but also black, brown, and various greens. The bag has a wide variety of pockets and pouches to allow the organization of everything from sleeping gear to pens and paper. Let’s look at the features that stood out to me.

Organization

You learn quickly how important pack organization is when it starts to rain on your field op. Your sprint to cover your gear, but you packed your tarp at the very bottom of the pack. Organization is critical. It doesn’t matter if it’s an EDC pack, a hiking kit, a bug-out bag, or whatever. You want it organized.

The Rush24 2.0 exists as a pocket packing machine. There are pockets everywhere. The side pockets allow for the easy stashing of important gear. From phone chargers to IFAKs, you can store it all for relatively easy access. Organizing your gear in the dozens of pockets is easy and accessing them even easier.

Pockets in the top, front, and side give you plenty of room to stash emergency essentials that you might need right away. I pack an IFAK and rain poncho in the quick access compartments.

Capacity

Thirty-seven liters of your junk can be shoved into the Rush24 2.0. This much space gives me enough room to pack for days at a time. I can pack at least 48 hours of supplies in this bag. If I stretch it a bit and eat thin, then the bag can last 72 hours. I can pack a sleeping bag, extra clothes, a few MREs, lots and lots of water, as well as a good flashlight, an IFAK, and so much more.

I’ve put the pack to the test in my adventure rucks and packed it with a 45-pound load to simulate the Wildland FireFighter pack test. It fit in without making the bag bulbous and tough to close. The extra pockets and dedicated hydration pack makes a huge difference in your capacity.

I’ve loaded the bag for EDC purposes from the office to the gym, and it served as a bag for both. I filled it up with weight to help shoot a gun like an improvised Caldwell Lead Sled. The Rush24 2.0 is a powerhouse of a pack with plenty of capacity for crossing the border into Iraq or going to that 3 PM college class.

Fit and Comfort

Remember when I loaded this bad boy with 45 pounds? Well, I also took it on a three-mile hike. That three-mile hike was completed in under 45 minutes to comply with the Wildland firefighter fitness test. That’s mighty fast for a hump, and it admittedly gave me a good perspective on the pack’s comfort.

Without an external frame, 45 pounds seems to be about the top weight I’d want to carry in this pack. The good news is 5.11 designed the Rush24 2.0 to carry a hefty load for a ‘backpack.’ A healthy amount of reinforced padding on the back. Padding provides an excellent degree of comfort, and the pads allow air to pass between you and your pack.

The shoulder straps are thickly padded and extremely wide. These wide pads provide a high level of comfort to the pack and help support the weight without the straps digging in. The Rush24 2.0 provides a high degree of comfort even when loaded down with heavyweight.

Inherent Quality

Is it made well? Well, it’s made from high-strength 1000D nylon that’s also water repellant. It’s tear-proof, and 5.11 sews everything on with what appears to be a double stitch. The zippers are all YKK high-quality, smooth-moving sealing devices. Duraflex makes the buckles, so you’re well covered here too.

Plus, when it gets filthy dirty, I just hose it down, dry it out and get back at it. For the price, it’s tough to make a better backpack. I’m sure you could, but selling it for under 150 bucks is next to impossible. Give it a peak and let us know what you think below.

Legend All-Weather Compression Socks

Socks are something I never thought about when addressing tactical gear. Not until my first deployment and I realized how valuable good socks are. I got my hands on the Legend All-Weather Compression socks and have put some miles on them. Proper socks are so damn important.

I deployed with the bargain bin socks the PX sold and didn’t think twice. An Any Marine Package showed up from a lovely group of generous individuals and packed away were expensive hiking socks. I can’t remember the brand, but they had an REI price tag on them and were made for hiking. After my first patrol equipped with good socks, I realized just how damn important good socks are.

The Legend All-Weather Compression socks are boot-length socks that go all the way up. They are made from a combination of merino wool, spandex, and nylon. The combination offers flexibility, comfort, and proven performance.

The Legend All-Weather Compression Socks In Action

That thought has been reinforced by the Legend All-Weather Compression socks. I strapped these bad boys almost a month and a half ago and since then have put more than 100 miles between both pairs. My goal was to put 50 miles per pair, and after that, I stopped counting the miles. Since then, I’ve worn them extensively in normal sock rotation, and whenever I need to hike, I grab them.

The Cold and Wet

I hit the ground running in a variety of environments. All-Weather is a mighty big claim, so I put that name to the test. I put miles on these bad boys in the cold rainy foothills of South Carolina. At a firearm’s media event, I climbed through various environmental conditions. I crawled up muddy hills of clay in cold and wet conditions.

Yet, my feet never felt cold or uncomfortable. They were just right for the 30 to 50-degree temperatures I was facing. The Legend All-Weather Compression socks even got a good dose of being wet due to some uncomfortable puddle jumping. Yet, they dried quickly and didn’t leave me wet for long.

Keep in mind the moisture was minimal, and it was resigned to the toe of my sock. A full submersion would not dry very quickly.

Turn Up the Heat

Florida sucks y’all. If it wasn’t for the lack of state income taxes, I’d leave these swampy states. It’s almost always hot, and even in March and April, the heat is righteous. I rucked in hot and humid conditions.

My longest hump was five miles at high noon in Florida. I’m a big fella, and I sweat a good bit. That includes my feet, and normally I get nice gross, sweaty socks. The problem here is that wet socks rub, and they create blisters.

However, the Legend All-Weather Compression socks are moisture-wicking. My feet never felt wet and sweaty even after mile 5. The moisture-wicking really made a difference.

The Comfort Factor

The Legend All-Weather Compression socks are super comfortable. On these longer hikes, I noticed my feet didn’t go numb. That’s an issue I tend to have with normal socks when I add weight and ruck for time. The graduated compression hosiery promotes better blood flow and gives you the ability to ruck faster and farther.

The cushion on the sole and around the legs keeps blisters away and keeps the boots from rubbing your legs raw. Better yet, the sock never rolled downwards or sagged. The Spandex is in play here, and I’m grateful for it.

Overall I’m impressed by the Legend All-Weather Compression socks. I’ll probably take them out of my normal rotation and save them for hiking and field use. I’d hate to wear them out too fast. I plan to purchase a few pairs extra and toss them in the bug-out bag as well. Legend knocked it out of the park and if you are the type to hike, hump, ruck, conduct foot patrols, fight fires on mountains, then you owe it to yourself to get good socks for your feet.

The Ek Model 4 – A Killer Commando Knife

KA-BAR’s legend needs no introduction here. They’ve been producing finely made fighting, utility, and pocket knives for Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors since World War 2. KA-BAR teamed up with Ek Knives to bring back the classic EK Model 4 commando knife for the modern market. John Ek produced these knives during the height of World War 2. The Ek Model 4 killed Japanese and Nazi soldiers in the hands of Marine Raiders, the Army Rangers, the First Special Service Force, and the OSS.

This was the height of the Commando dagger, and John Ek’s Model 4 quickly became a popular choice for the boys doing the throat-slitting and lung piercing. Demand grew so fast, and the need for knives was massive. John Ek eventually had three shifts working 24/7 to produce knives for military service. President Roosevelt and General Patton both own Model 4 knives, and Clark Gable reportedly purchased several.

The Ek Model 4 – KA-BAR’s Entry

Over time the Ek knife company moved around quite a bit, and eventually, KA-BAR purchased the brand. This is where we sit now with the new Ek Model 4. KA-BAR made some minor changes for ease of production.

Notably, the grips are no longer wood but glass-filled nylon. KA-BAR ensured the grip design was identical to the classic knives. This unique grooved system gives you a very sure grip on the blade. Eighth scallops are cut into the grips, and it’s an ingenious way to provide a good grip without using G10 style scales. Old school doesn’t mean outdated all the time.

The crossguard is slightly different, with one side going upwards and one curving downwards. It’s small, and small is good to prevent the knife from snagging on your gear when drawn. The handle is also massive for an easy draw and plenty of room to grip. It’s like a hand and a half sword, but on a dagger.

Digging the Blade

An Ek Model 4 features a blade similar to most fighting knives of its time. Back in the day where the Model 4 came to be, fighting with a knife wasn’t out of the question. Fighting men wanted long blades that could extend their natural reach as well as reach the vital organs from nearly any angle of attack. The original KA-BAR had a 7-inch blade, the Gerber Mk2 had a 6.5-inch blade, and the Ek Model 4 comes with a 6.625-inch blade.

Daggers mean dual-edge, and the Ek Model 4 doesn’t disappoint. The blade is dangerously sharp on each side and made from 1095 Cro Van steel. The grind is absolutely beautiful and even on both sides. It cuts through meat cleanly without stutter or interruption. I know that because I’ve been meal prepping a lot, and cutting chicken is a daily chore.

Buy it Now $110

This is no kitchen knife, but that’s the only way I can see how this thing cuts through meat legally. I have a big pile of broken-down Amazon boxes, and I stacked ten layers of cardboard up, taped it together, and pushed the blade right through it with little effort.

John Ek chose the 1095 Cro Van steel, and it was a smart choice. This steel is extremely strong, has great edge retention, holds an edge for a long time, and can be used hard without worry. The downside is the corrosion resistance isn’t great, but KA-BAR coats the blade to help.

A combination of the long blade and long handle gives you the ability to chop. Being able to chop with a dagger is a rare feat. The big hefty design allows you to swing the blade downward with surprising force. The pointy tip and dual-edge design make this a natural stabbing tool, and it’s likely slipped through the ribs of the enemies of Democracy more than once.

The Ek Model 4 In Action

Daggers do not lend themselves to versatility like a traditional KA-BAR. You can’t baton wood, strike a fire starter, and the lack of a belly makes cleaning game more challenging. You can strap the Ek Model 4 on your belt as a survival knife, but it most certainly excels more like a fighting knife than a survival tool.

I couldn’t be happier to see the return of the Ek brand, and I’m happy to see it in the hands of KA-BAR. The Model 4 is an excellent example of John Ek’s design with KA-BAR’s quality. I’m excited to see what other Ek blades they bring back.

The Liberator 2.0 By Safariland – Hear the Difference

Protecting your ears from loud noises, like you know gunfire, is pretty dang critical. I say this as a person with tinnitus because the younger version of me was headstrong and thought an M240 would never bother my ears. These days I’m older and wiser and armed with gear like the new Safariland Liberator 2.0 hearing protection. The Liberator headset goes beyond your normal hearing protection, though.

It’s 2021, and if you ain’t rocking electronic hearing protection, you are missing out. The Liberator 2.0s are fully electronic and provide you three modes for various amplification and noise-canceling modes. Let’s break down those modes real quick, so we are all on the same page.

Liberator Modes And Audio Quality

Mode 1 – Used for most tactical operations requiring the ability to hear speech and audio, recognize threats, and maintain situational awareness while gunfire or explosions may occur without warning.

It blocks impulse noise, allows speech and environmental audio to be heard. Allows all radio communications.

Mode 2 – When high-level steady-state noise is occurring, such as operating in a helicopter, aircraft, boat, or ground vehicle for extended periods.

Blocks external noise. Allows all radio communications.

Mode 3 – When operating in high steady-state noise environments and face to face communication is desired.

Blocks external noise, except speech. Allows all radio communications.

To Swap between modes, you hold both the + and – buttons. A soothing voice tells you what mode you are in.

In terms of audio quality, the Safariland Liberator delivers crystal clear, easily understood audio. Having conversations between people both near and far, even with gunfire present. At a recent media event at a firing range, my future wife and I had no issues talking around machine guns, AKs, bolt action precision rifles, and more.

Speaking of, she immediately stole the Liberator from me and regulated me to an older pair of muffs. As a new shooter, she received plenty of instruction when firing rifles, SMGs, and even a medium machine gun. The Liberator muffs blocked the noise but allowed her to hear the instructions various range officers issued her.

Inside the Liberator 2.0

The microphones on the Liberator muffs provide you 360 degrees of sound amplification. Unlike other headphones, this allows you to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. Some range-friendly hearing protection has a simple mic that amplifies noise but makes it sound like it all comes from the same direction. The Liberator muffs are true tactical ear muffs and allow you to have maximum situational awareness.

These muffs aren’t just great for the range but for tactical environments police and military deal with daily. The Liberator design is modular and does allow you to use the muffs with a helmet. This requires an additional behind-the-hand band, but the change over is relatively simple.

My girlfriend loved them because they were super lightweight and insanely comfortable while remaining slim. Gel cups not only provide an excellent seal to prevent noise entrance but also incredible comfort. She wore them for hours at a time without complaint. I feel the same. I’ve used them for about a month now, almost daily at various range trips and for testing purposes. They’ve been nothing but comfortable.

Safariland designed these for professional users, and the little things show. For example, you can wear it under a helmet. Second, they are tough as hell! Thirdly, they have a dual fuel design. By dual fuel, I mean they can use either 2 AAA batteries or a single CR123A battery.

Oh, and don’t forget they have an auto turn-off mode that will auto shut them off after 5 minutes of no movement. You’ll get five warnings before they shut off. A low battery indicator goes off when there are only 20 hours of battery power left. Battery life ranges from 200 to 300 hours, depending on the mode selected.

Over and Out

The Safariland Liberator 2.0 provides users a true tactical set of hearing protection at a great price point. Everything about these headphones seemingly rocks. They’re durable, extremely comfortable, provide crystal clear audio, and they’re even lightweight. Add in the modularity factor for batteries, and wearing a helmet and bam, you have a professional-grade option that keeps the ringing away.
