Since moving to NW Florida, I’ve been a fan of off-body carry when it comes to my EDC. It offers many advantages, most of which are connected in some way to the wonderful humidity and weather we have here. In the last year, I’ve also added a new aspect of life, motorcycle riding, which brings […]
Some time back I wrote an article about the Caracal Enhanced F, a 9mm pistol that was turning heads with its strength and reliability. Now I want to look at what Caracal is doing today, the CMP9 & CMP9K: Hard-use platforms built for real work. Some guns show up looking tactical. The CMP9 and CMP9K […]
Some knives show up to work. Some show up to get attention. The CRKT PROVOKE does both. It’s a karambit built around Joe Caswell’s Kinematic system—a design that looks like it was engineered by someone who got tired of folders pretending to be innovative. This thing doesn’t flip, swing, or glide. It lunges. The PROVOKE […]
There’s a fine line between “pocket pistol” and “pocket rocket,” and Juggernaut Tactical just bulldozed across it with their all-metal grip module for the Sig P365. If the stock frame was Peter Parker, this thing is Venom, heavier, meaner, and oozing pure tacti-COOL muscle. You want control? Check. You want looks? BIG check, it’s like […]
As my dear readers both on Patreon and here on The Loadout Room are aware, I’m a longtime fanboys of the 9x18mm Makarov pistol. Granted, the Mak isn’t quite the all-time sentimental favorite that my beloved Beretta 92FS aka M9 is. Nonetheless, the Cold War classic Pistolet Makarova holds plenty of sentimental value for me. […]
Some knives are tools. Others are toys, the samurai sword you show off to Jeff from down the street. The CIVIVI RS71? It’s both, with the attitude of a dive knife, the action of a fidget spinner that just shotgunned three Red Bulls, and the build quality of something twice the price. This thing doesn’t […]
Not every knife needs to be the main character. Flashy, all dressed up, and sparkling with superhuman power and costuming. Some blades aren’t here to steal the scene, they’re just here to get work done. That’s the CIVIVI Brazen in a nutshell. It’s not trying to be your next family heirloom, or something you’ll cry […]
In the ever-evolving world of concealed carry, the Glock 43 has emerged as a top-tier choice, trusted by seasoned firearm enthusiasts and new carriers alike. With its ultra-compact frame, lightweight design, and legendary Glock reliability, the Glock 43 redefines what it means to carry confidently and comfortably every day. Here’s an in-depth look at the […]
When it comes to rugged, no-nonsense timepieces built for professionals, ARES Watch Co. has set the bar high. In this review, I’ll be diving deep into the ARES DIVER-1, testing its durability, precision, and real-world performance as a go-anywhere tactical dive watch. Meanwhile, SOFREP’s Managing Editor Guy McCardle will be sharing his thoughts on the […]
If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly concealed carry pistol, the CZ P-10 S makes a strong case for itself, kind of like that one friend who always volunteers to drive but has a car that smells like last week’s Indian food. At an MSRP of just $399, you’re getting a subcompact 9mm with solid […]
