McGuire Army Navy, Your Complete Source to Gear Up

As a child I remember Herb Phillipson’s Army and Navy store in Utica NY. The tall racks of seemingly endless amounts of gear, uniforms, clothing, firearms, and more created memories that have endured a lifetime. Phillipson’s is gone now but replacing it, at least online, is a store that seems to hold as much wonderful […]

My New EDC Folder, the M16 by CRKT

I used my S&W Extreme Ops Tanto for at least 7 years and it served me faithfully but times change and it was time for an upgrade. Enter the Columbia River Knife and Tool, (CRKT), M16-14DSFG, a very specific knife designed by renowned knife maker Kit Carson. Kit retired as a ranking Master Sergeant and […]

HalfBreed Blades, Worth Every Penny

Have you ever seen something in a display case and thought, “WOW, I bet that will cause some SERIOUS destruction”? That was my thought at SHOT SHOW 2024 when I was at the Halfbreed Blades display area and saw the LBA-01, their Large Breaching Axe. It was impressive, the entire line of products they had […]

1000 Meter Accuracy With the 6mm Aero Precision Solus

Proud to present an article from Forest Bruton, one of our local LoadoutRoom Team members and contributors. I was looking for an off-the-shelf bolt rifle to fill in for my MPA BA Pro in 6mm Creedmoor. After shopping around all the options, I determined it would be the Solus. After watching countless reviews in many […]

Another Glock? Yes It’s Another Glock For the LoadoutRoom

So there I was perusing the daily email when I saw it, a Law enforcement turn-in Glock 30 Gen 4 at a nice price from AIM Surplus. Try as I might I couldn’t pass it by and so a few days later I was at Grey Man Armory filling out paperwork, again. I’ll admit I’d […]

Do I Buy it Here, Or There, Or…?

Do I buy another gun, that’s not really a question, is it?!! The real question, especially in today’s economy, is where and for how much $$ do I buy that gun? THAT answer is often long and convoluted so we’re only going to delve into a portion of it here today. Today we talk about […]

When the Tough Get Going, Their Feet Lead the Way

Boots get all the attention when it comes to protecting and pampering your feet but they shouldn’t. It’s a team effort when it comes to keeping you going in the field, you have to have a good supply line, good comms, leadership, teammates, and in order to keep yourself moving it’s good boots AND good […]

Surviving on Your Feet is Easy With Garmont T8 Falcon’s

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 […]

A New Take On the Updated Salomon Xa Forces Mid Boot

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 […]

Technology for your Health From SHOT SHOW

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 […]
