The Lifecard – Last Gun You’ll leave behind?
Practicality and cool factor are often strange bedfellows when it comes to the firearms industry. There is cool, and there is practical, but is one often both?

My EDC hot rod: Why I just can’t seem to leave my Glock alone
As some SOFREP readers may be aware, I didn’t start my journey into firearms as a Glock guy – in fact, the first legitimate firearm I ever purchased was by trusty old 1911.
