Professional Gear Reviews
Your belt is the foundation of everyday carry, especially if you are carrying concealed. The belt needs to be rigid enough to keep your gear where it needs to be without having to constantly adjust it, but not too rigid to where it’s uncomfortable to wear and difficult to run through your belt loops. Over […]
A couple favorites: my Sig P226 and Chronosport UDT Timer watch. The SIG P226 always felt like it was built for my hand. The Chronosport is a classic! I’ll need to track one down that’s new in box at some point. I first noticed a Chronosport on @officialslystallone wrist in Rambo III when I was a kid […]
I recently decided to upgrade from the Olight M18 Striker flashlight to something newer in the Olight lineup. I’ve carried the M18 Striker for quite some time and it never disappointed. For more on the M18, check out my review HERE. The M18 Striker is no longer available (The M1X is the replacement), so I decided […]
I’ve been carrying and using the new Gerber Barbill wallet for about a week now. I know that’s not a long time, but it’s been enough to give me a good feel for how the wallet is going to perform. I love my minimalist wallets and only carrying what I need. I’ve tried others in the past similar […]
Tailoring your EDC (everyday carry) for each situation doesn’t have to be complicated. It also doesn’t have to be overboard. The truth is, that what you carry to work probably isn’t practical to carry while at school, to the gym, and definitely not while running. To touch on the latter, running, I don’t claim to […]
Because there is no such thing as having too many backup options on the street, ASP has introduced its first triple-fuel flashlights; the Sentinel e3 and Sentinel X e3. These lights ship with a 16340 lithium-ion battery that recharges inside the light, providing a potent 400 lumens of output. If you don’t have the time […]
ASP’s original Scribe AAA light has become a mainstay tool in the company’s international tactical training programs, thanks to its combination of high performance and pocketable form factor. The new DF variant of the Scribe pushes the output even further—to 350 lumens—while adding the benefit of Dual Fuel technology. It ships with a 10900 lithium-ion […]
I have carried a pen every day (EDC) for many years. It was a small Space Pen for a good long time but the clip slides off and I lost at least 2 of them. Then just a simple hard plastic Bic pen that I put a strip of ACU duct tape around (just for […]
An active SERE kit differs from any other survival or task kit in that it must be concealed on your person ready for deployment, not unloading. Survival in any form for any environment is an act of prevention and or recovery, best enacted by preparation. A particular set of tools must be removed from a SERE loadout kit to […]
KeyBar A multi-tool key organizer that stops the noise and organizes the clutter; KeyBar. The KeyBar combines the utility and comfort of a pocket clip knife and places your keys and so much more quietly at your fingertips when they are needed. SHOT Show 2019 SHOT Show 2019 featured a one-day event for vendors that […]
