I like flashlights. NOT as much as I like knives, but I like a good EDC flashlight and thankfully there are many choices available to pick from these days. NITECORE has many flashlights but not all have the bells and whistles the MT2A PRO has. A penlight with the dual power source of 2 AA […]
I’ve owned at least 200 knives in my life so far, thanks to a trip back to my family home in 2019 I found my first knife and still have it today, albeit a bit worse for wear. Since that first knife, I’ve owned cheap knives, expensive knives, swords of many types, carbon fiber knives, […]
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.

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 SOFREP team was on the ground and meeting people at Industry Day AKA Range Day here at SHOT SHOW 2024. Day one is an outdoor event held at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City NV just outside of Las Vegas and what a day it was with plenty of guns and […]
EDC is all about functionality, practicality, and preparedness. Here’s the basics of what you need to know about EDC.
The PT28 Oathkeeper Is A Military-Law Enforcement Tool With Personal Self Defense Uses It always pays to reserve judgment on things until you have all the facts. When a representative at Brinyte reached out and asked us to look at a flashlight they were offering I confess I wasn’t too excited about it. I mean, […]
Fighting knives come in all sizes. You got the classics like the Bowie knife and the Ka-Bar. They are characterized by their size and ability to both hack and slash. You travel in the opposite direction of that spectrum, and you find something like the Ka-Bar TDI Investigator. While it’s small, it’s still lethal as […]
