When it comes to duty belts, concealed carry belts, or gun belts in general, there are a number of manufacturers out there with products I can recommend whole-heartedly.

ShotStop ballistic inserts offer high quality protection without breaking the bank
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t have to be discussing ballistic protection that you can slip into your backpack, but being prepared means taking the world as it is, not as we’d prefer it to be. In this era of active shooters and mass casualty events, more and more of us are looking for some […]
The Polymer80 PF940V2 Ghost Gun kit
Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way. If you are reading this to see if a Polymer 80 Glock is easy to build then let me answer you now. Yes it is. It is very easy to do, and I believe anyone can do it. The Polymer 80 Glocks are very easy […]
SOG Terminus EDC blade: All-purpose slip joint folding knife that is legal in many places
