You couldn’t walk anywhere without seeing advanced technology applied to something, seriously it was SHOT Show again except specifically for special operations forces. SOF Week 2024 brought out the big guns—literally and figuratively. This year’s lineup showcased some serious tech that’s set to revolutionize the battlefield for special operations forces. All this and more was […]

Torture Test Time for the Enhanced F Pistol
Many companies have a good warranty and stand behind their products and many go above and beyond with that notion. But rarely do you find the President and CEO of a company literally standing behind something that could blow up in their face as they use it, just to prove how good the product is.

1791’s Light Bearing IWB Holster is Concealed Comfort
Holsters are like rifle slings, you need one and would prefer one you like but often you end up settling for what does the job. For me at least, my concealed carry woes are gone thanks to 1791 and their new line of Light Bearing Leather Holsters. The size 4 fits my light-bearing Glock 30 […]
The 5.11 LV Covert Carry Pack, Carries Everything Except the Kitchen Sink
Two months ago I received this 45L pack, normally it doesn’t take this long to get a review out about an item, especially one as good as this, but this took a while to learn just how good it was. I’ve used it for work carrying my laptop, lunch, and water, I’ve used it for […]
Intrepid BT’s, Flagship Hearing Protection from WarBird
BAM! Ping, BAM! Ping, what better way to spend a Sunday morning with Grandson # 2 in tow? BAM! Ping, suddenly Darth Vadar’s theme music is blaring in my ears. What the ….. Devil is going on? Oh wait, these are BlueTooth ear muffs and they were/are paired with my phone that’s back in the […]
NITECORE MT2A PRO, 1000 Lumens of Dazzling White Light
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 […]
Sleek Elegance, The Seaton by Ocaso Knives
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, […]
Bolle Gunfire 2.0 Safety Glasses, One Set to Rule Them All
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 […]
Glock 30 vs Springfield XDS 45 Cal Range Day Shoot Out
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 Acebeam Terminator M2-X, a Palm Sized Powerhouse
Flashlights are one of the most used and needed devices today next to cell phones and even they include a flashlight demonstrating our need for light when we find ourselves in the darkness. I was taught not to fear the dark and how to see with minimal light, blue light (shudder!), red, and green light […]
