Professional Gear Reviews
Those who carry blades may find themselves gravitating to different styles of knives for different purposes. That is why I first began considering the petite Mini Tuff Lite. Some knives are better suited for heavy labor, some for self defense, while others are handy for small everyday tasks. This reviewer often finds herself carrying more […]
There has been much discussion of self defense in gun free zones, and it brought to mind one of my favorite low aggro (that is, a tool that doesn’t appear conspicuously aggressive) self defense options: a tactical pen, like my Tuff Writer pen. But, before I give a detailed review on my Titanium EDC Gen […]
We’ve seen the “bumpfire” stocks—both aluminum and polymer—that full automatic fire in a non-NFA manner. But, Tactical Fire Control, Inc. has a new solution for “pseudo” full auto fire for AR-15 style rifles: the TacCon 3MR Trigger. Set to hit sales floors before the break of 2014, the TacCon 3MR trigger has three settings: safe, […]
When I was growing up my father used to say, “If something seems too good to be true then it probably is.” Over the course of my life, I’ve found his advice has to be spot on—until recently. ALG Defense, the sister company of Geissele Automatics, recently introduced their new AR-15 M-LOK Ergonomic Modular Rail (EMR) to […]
Yep, I love my AR-15 rifles. It’s easy for me to find reasons to build more. One of my recent projects is a .300 AAC Blackout rifle that I plan to use for hunting. With this intent in mind, I looked into Primary Weapons Systems for a handguard solution for the newest to my AR collection. […]
My friend Nick over at Practically Tactical recently made me aware of a new start-up campaign for a shotgun shell dispenser known as the Ammo-BOSS. It intrigued me and when I looked up the company that was behind it, Strike Hard Gear, I was surprised to discover that it was actually a local company in […]
Voodoo Tactical came out with a tidy bunch of new products for 2014. During SHOT Show, Voodoo Tactical rep, Matt, introduced me to some of the new gear. One of the products Matt mentions in the above video is from their Voodoo Discreet line. Those of you looking for a low profile travel bag may […]
Phosphate, chrome, nickel boron, nickel teflon. Sound familiar? You may be a “Gun Geek” (If so, you’re in excellent company.), particularly one looking at an AR-15 bolt carrier group, or BCG. These may be the most common coatings for BCGs, but several months ago, I discovered something new. The BCG I found, and obtained, was the Leitner-Wise Manufacturing […]
One of my favorite pocket knives, and one that has served me the longest, is my Emerson CQC-7AW. The 154CM steel hones to a fine v-grind edge on the drop point blade. The G10 scales cover titanium liners to make a strong, yet ergonomic, grip. Emerson‘s signature “wave” opening mechanism is the fastest unassisted […]
If you like blades, you’re probably going to want to check out the new Emerson knives releasing for 2014. This year, Emerson launched several new knife projects, including collaboration blades selling through Kershaw, and three new folders, the Bulldog, the Patriot, and the ETAK. Here’s a little more info on each of the new folders available […]
