Bolle Gunfire 2.0 Safety Glasses, One Set to Rule Them All

When I started Military Security work, safety glasses were almost non-existent.  Later in my Law Enforcement years, they were often of dubious quality compared to today’s standards but the idea of one set that was useful and included lenses to wear indoors and outdoors hadn’t become a “thing” yet. Today, thankfully we have Bolle Safety […]

Chopping Through Jungles or the Front Yard, the Spetsnaz Survival Machete Chopper is Your Tool

At the homestead one Saturday, I’d finally grown tired of the overgrown shrubbery in the front yard, and the time for trimming and clearing out weeds that didn’t belong there was long overdue. I let Layla out for supervision, then grabbed the Spetsnaz Survival Machete Chopper that I’ve been using for the past few weekends, […]

Glock 30 vs Springfield XDS 45 Cal Range Day Shoot Out

Going to the range is always fun, getting to shoot more guns and some awesome Black Hills ammo makes it even more so.  In this case, I was testing my new Glock 30 with its 3.78″ barrel and comparing it to my old CCW pistol a Springfield XDS with its 3.3″ barrel.  I wanted a […]

The Acebeam Terminator M2-X, a Palm Sized Powerhouse

Flashlights are one of the most used and needed devices today next to cell phones and even they include a flashlight demonstrating our need for light when we find ourselves in the darkness.  I was taught not to fear the dark and how to see with minimal light, blue light (shudder!), red, and green light […]

The Gallagator 10 day pack on the shoreline next to a hiking trail.

Day Pack – Mystery Ranch Gallagator 10 – The Best Yet?

I enjoy weeklong excursions in the wilderness as much as the next guy, but that’s not an option when you lead a busy life. I know, I know, I hear you already: “But Rodney, the point of going on a long trip in the wild is to escape the hustle and bustle.” Well, yes, you […]

308 Winchester vs. 7.62 NATO: What’s The Difference?

Proud to present an article from our new contributor, Ben Wilson! When it comes to rifle cartridges, few debates ignite as much fervor as the comparison between the 308 Winchester and the 7.62 NATO. While similar in appearance and performance, these two cartridges have key differences that set them apart. Understanding these differences is crucial […]

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 […]
