(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. […]
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, […]
Welcome to the first of two Claymore messenger bag reviews from the Pike family. I’ve been carrying this week for some time and only quit recently to transfer to the Tactical Tailor Concealed carry bag. My wife is now taking the bag over and plans to give a woman’s perspective on it. The Claymore as […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Article originally published on Spotter Up by Steve Rabinovich When testing the Rock Island Armory 1911 I found a classic holster to go with it. While shoulder holsters may be cool for Hunter and Kojak, I thought a more modern approach. Mark from Squared Away Customs made an offer impossible to resist, and built us a […]
BLACK HAWK has been around for many years supplying gear for operators, hunters, and outdoorsman. It would seem that variations of travel bags are exhausted, but these guys have made it a habit of making the right bag for your needs. Lets take a look at the BLOCK GO BAG, and my first impressions. It […]
Tactical Tailor is a fine purveyor of tactical gear. Easily one of the best companies for ammo pouches, vests, and of course packs. I previously reviewed the Tactical Tailor active shooter bag and found it to be a well-made piece of gear. I have high hopes for their concealed carry sling bag. The concealed carry sling […]
