Modular Pistol Showdown

I have been fascinated with the thought of modular weapons systems for as long as I can remember. I tend to fluctuate between wanting to keep pistols bone stock and going absolutely crazy with customizations. Modularity really helps with the latter, so today I’d like to look at 3 modular handgun systems today. We will […]

Crye JPC 2.0 Maritime

Hey everyone, I wanted to take a break from the tips and include a review of my favorite Plate Carrier (PC.) I have been wearing this plate carrier for the last 3 years, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in several key areas. First and foremost, the construction of this plate carrier is […]

Yugo

The M70 Yugo Pattern AK Rifle

So yes, let’s start off by getting this out of the way. Yes, AKs are the “bad guy” rifles in the eyes of most of the Western world, but let’s put this aside and look at the Zastava M70 pattern rifles. First, let’s explain the difference between standard AKM rifles and Yugo patterns. The terms […]

Bluetti 2 handsfree power backpack

Bluetti Handsfree 2 Review: The Ultimate Power Backpack for Off-Grid Adventurers

Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Bluetti Handsfree 2 Backpack Power Station for The Loadout Room. I’ve used just about every kind of backpack there is over just about every kind of terrain. Before it arrived, I wondered how it could possibly be any different or better than what I’d already […]

Battle Chest Rigs, from then to now.

  The Chest Rig is a easily recognizable piece of kit.  What your mission, purpose and use will determine which chest rig is best for you. I personally use multiple brands and own variations ranging from the 1980s Soviet Chest rigs to the modern issued TAPs System and Blue Force  gear slick chest rigs. Here […]

Adept NovaSteel Buckler: The Shield You Didn’t Know You Needed

There’s something primal about holding a shield, especially one designed with modern ingenuity like the Adept NovaSteel Buckler. For those of us who appreciate tactical gear that’s as functional as it is badass, this buckler hits all the right marks. It’s compact, durable, and has that ‘I can handle whatever comes my way’ vibe. So, […]

XGO Good to Go?

Summer is upon us in south Florida, and that means sweat – lots of it.  Standard beach (and shooting range) attire here seems to consist mostly of sun shirts – those light & loose SPF tops that fishermen wear.  Yeah…that doesn’t work for me.  While they might ward off the UV rays and provide a […]

Best Boots for Combat Sim, Hiking and Military use?

Best boots for Combat sim, hiking, and general use?    A lot of people have a favorite brand of boot when it comes to military service, camping experience or outdoor activities. I am one of those people.  I have some recommendations, tips, as well as complaints. Here are a couple of options that range for […]

The Final Shot on the Anderson Frontline 16

“Parting is such sweet sorrow” Although the Bard was referring to the love between Romeo and Juliet it’s appropriate for my feelings today as I’m bidding a fond farewell to a rifle we’ve been testing on multiple range trips lately, the Anderson Frontline 16.  Vincent’s original comment in my first article was echoed by numerous […]

Gimme Shelta!

I’ll admit it – I’m a hat guy.  Historically they’ve mostly been baseball cap-style hats, my two favorite being a ‘dad hat’ I picked up in Amsterdam and a Legacy brand one that I bought on Kauai – that one is so broken in you can barely see the chicken logo anymore.  But having lived […]
