V Seven Weapon Systems | Enlightened Lower Review

January 24, 2017 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

It wasn’t that long ago I put out my first article, an interview with Joel from V Seven Weapons Systems.  In that interview, Joel let me know he would soon be releasing ultralight upper and lower receivers made from 2055 lithium-aluminum.  Fast forward the clock a few months and the receivers are on the market, joining other […]

Leupold VX-6 1-6x Riflescope | First Impressions

January 6, 2017 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

While there are a number of quality optics manufacturers, few enjoy name brand recognition as widespread as Leupold and Stevens, Inc.  A fifth generation family run business, the Beaverton, Oregon based corporation has annual sales exceeding $160 million and employs over 700 people.  Leupold has long been known for their quality optics and “Gold Ring” […]

Safariland 537 Holster | First Impressions

December 15, 2016 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

My holster cup runneth over.  Recently I was able to run through Safariland’s QLS holster system and now I get a crack at their 537 Open-top concealment Belt Slide holster for the Glock 17/22.  Being a belt slide holster, it offers a bit more of a low profile than the QLS system I tested earlier.  Here’s […]

Talon Grips | First Impression

December 14, 2016 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

Get a grip.  Get a good, strong grip on your firearm.  It’s just what you do, every draw and before every shot.  Until you don’t…. until you’re in the desert and it’s 115 F and sweat is rolling down your arms.  Until you’re in a temperate rainforest in Alaska and it hasn’t stopped raining in […]

Liberty Civil Defense 9mm | First Range Trip

November 5, 2016 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

Ammunition technology has improved drastically over the last 30 years, more so than the 100 years preceding it.  Such leaps and bounds are not always unqualified successes.  For every two or three steps forward, there is a step back.  Liberty Ammunition’s Civil Defense line has a small but mostly positive buzz.  How would it fare when […]

22 Every Day: Check your six

June 18, 2016 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

We’ve heard the numbers.  On average, 22 Veterans end their own lives every day.  This is an abhorrent reality, one in which 22 of our nation’s defenders feel their situations are so untenable that they see no other way out every day.  It’s a sad reality, one that many people much smarter than I are working hard […]

300 Blackout vs 5.56: It’s a Matter of Preference

September 25, 2022 by SOFREP Leave a Comment

Before we start the side-by-side contrast and comparison between rifle ballistics’ 300 Blackout and 5.56mm NATO, let’s first dive into each of its humble beginnings. AAC’s take on the .30-cal Despite being a new caliber, the .300 Blackout has quickly risen to prominence in the last 20 years. It’s been popularly used in Special Operations […]

Sig Sauer P365 vs. Glock 43 | Size matters

May 20, 2019 by Erik Meisner Leave a Comment

Ever since the announcement of Sig’s new P365 micro compact pistol, I’ve eagerly anticipated its arrival. At SHOT Show, I had the pleasure of handling the pistol at the Sig Sauer booth but missed the opportunity to shoot it on Range Day. Apparently, Sig Sauer has their own range day and doesn’t participate in the […]

A Video Breakdown of the Honey Badger by Q

November 15, 2018 by Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer Leave a Comment

The Honey Badger is one of those few firearms that ascends above popular status and (for many) attains that highest level: iconic.  It helped to redefine what a personal-defense weapon (PDW) should do, and how it should look.  While stuck in development hell as designer Kevin Brittingham went from AAC to Sig to his latest […]

Bripe | A unique way to get your caffeine fix

October 22, 2018 by Erik Meisner Leave a Comment

Flashback to Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2017. Two guys from the Loadout Room walk into a massive convention center in Salt Lake City for the first time. Once we pick up our credentials, Scott and I shuffle into the overwhelming mass of vendors, manufacturers, buyers and the like. One of our first memorable experiences is […]
