The Data Book by MOS Tactical is a good addition to anyone’s kit bag. Obviously it has military applications but it can be used for civilian excursions as well. This would have come in handy for me and my pal nearly 15 years ago when we got caught in an unpredicted huge storm that came […]

EVERYDAY CARRY: RAVEN CONCEALMENT SYSTEMS MODULOADER POCKET SHIELD
The concept of everyday carry (EDC) is something that most if not all of our readers are familiar with, and most likely already implement in their daily lives in one form or another. EDC is the principal of always having the pieces of gear on your person (or at least quickly accessible), that you believe […]
One Navy SEAL’s Review of Oakley’s Kitchen Sink Pack
Oakley is one of my favorite companies, and they’re one of the few large companies to keep their DNA and soul intact with the growth. Everyone I’ve met at the company is solid so it’s no surprise that this translates into good product. I mostly wear their glasses for the ballistic protection, and lately I’ve […]
The 1990’s Called, They Want Their Holster Back
(Article originally published on Breach Bang Clear) The 1990’s Called, They Want Their Holster Back John Darwin While the fashion industry may like to revisit past trends, the tactical and firearms market should not. The rise of the Instagram commando has brought about the return of the drop leg holster, with its two large straps. […]
WHAT DO I WEAR? CHOOSING AN EDC BAG
This article will address why I choose the bags / tools to carry at any given time. This is not an article about what I look for in a bag (see this article or a more recent one about sling / cross body bags). This is my current practice, and is subject to change. In general, […]

Safariland 537 Holster | First Impressions
My holster cup runneth over.  Recently I was able to run through Safariland’s QLS holster system and now I get a crack at their 537 Open-top concealment Belt Slide holster for the Glock 17/22.  Being a belt slide holster, it offers a bit more of a low profile than the QLS system I tested earlier.  Here’s […]
The Junk Drawer Weapon Light
Editors note: This was originally published over at Breach Bang Clear by Matt Duo Merrill. I’m terrible at selling. Not to say that I’m a bad salesman, but that I pretty much never sell anything. Color me lazy, but generally I just don’t like the hassle. Every once in a while some higher priced items get sold […]
Vertx EDC Commuter Sling Bag
Imagine yourself in gridlocked traffic when an earthquake rocks your city. With nowhere to go and nowhere to hide, you only have what’s in your pockets and inside your go-bag (if you have one). You need to escape the anarchy that is about to ensue and get to your family. So, what do you do? […]
Warrior Assault Systems Plate Carrier
When it comes to Plate Carries (PCs) for me there are two options; low profile for speed flexibility and light Load-Outs or the other option is Protection. They tend to heavier but also you can get more gear on but you will lose some movement but that choice is you Speed vs Protection. In the […]
