Professional Gear Reviews
Recently, several of the writers and I got together in Ft. Lauderdale at an undisclosed location to have a writer’s meeting, dinner, and then meet some SOFREP members for a couple of drinks and cigars. In order to throw our surveillance tails off the trail, we arrived at different times and in different ways. We […]
Today’s tactical gear conversation: battle belts. What is a battle belt, some of you might ask and why do you need one? In this article, we will go over how to optimize your battle belt, and some preferred ways to set one up. Sometimes they are also known as war belts. For our purposes, we […]
Some people like guns. Lots of guns. Some people also believe that one can’t ever have too many guns. Guns are like tools, and different guns have different applications. I’ve previously shared an article with my thoughts on assembling a custom AR-15, with a good but slightly more expensive build. With that in mind, what […]
Following 9/11, body armor made a comeback. Even with the trade-off of added weight, many lives in the Global War on Terror were saved by body armor. I have tried out many types of load-bearing equipment (LBE), load-bearing vests (LBV), and plate carriers over the years. Yet, it’s refreshing to come across gear that has […]
Ok, before we kick the hornets’ nest of the great guns and ammo debate allow me to just put the debate to rest with the next sentence. 7.62 NATO (or .308 in “Merica”) is a cheap and widely available rifle round. This should be enough to end the debate for most but for those die-hard […]

You know what they say: opinions are like… AR-15s, everyone has one, and they are all different. Billions of them and all different. With so many AR-15 options out there, from the really inexpensive, to the customized and exorbitantly expensive, the choices are endless. There also is a way to get a great AR-15 and […]

The “25L” in the description refers to a 25-liter capacity volume. Military 3P Tactical Backpack Features MOLLE SYSTEM: Molle webbing system is ideal for attaching […]
Everyone knows that one of the most important requirements for being Tactical™ or an Operator™ is being Tacti-cool. Getting that “Gucci” gear and trying to look bad-ass at the same time, however, can add up fast and get really expensive. Fortunately, the tactical world has G-Code Holsters who make great gear at really decent prices. […]
One of the best things to happen to the pistol and firearms community was the U.S. Army’s XM17 Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition. The Army announced the competition in 2015 and in January 2017 crowned Sig Sauer P320’s as the winner. Most know that Glock offered the Glock 19x but might not know that Beretta, […]
