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. Today, thankfully we have Bolle Safety […]
I’ve said it before, there was more technology than you could shake a gun at on display at SHOT SHOW 2024. Even when it wasn’t the most glamorous or “in your face electronics”, technology is making the shooting sports world better in a number of ways. Always a “thing” with shooting is your hearing protection […]
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 […]

Surgical, precise, fluid, dynamic, tough and always ready describes the professional operator, executive, or adventurer. Limited only by the constraints of physics and his own humanity, the professional operator carefully chooses every piece of gear he carries. The responsibility for remaining both agile and quick leaves no room for any gear which only serves a […]

Costa Sunglasses reign supreme around the water. And they have for years. Just take a look at what most professional waterman wear. Wether it be a fisherman, charter captain or dive boat operator, Costa Sunglasses offer superior performance in this environment. A recent trip to Saint Lucia allowed my wife and I to test out […]
I grew up wanting to be an aviator but it wasn’t until I met my flight instructor (Mrs Meisner) that it became a reality. Long before I had my pilots license in hand, I still wanted to look the part. I recall asking my mother to swing by the Base Exchange at McChord AFB so […]
