Like most gear enthusiasts I have a problem not putting the “best” gear on my rifle. What is the best? Gear that is used and vetted by only the most accomplished/published gunfighters in the business. For the longest time, I’ve only trusted Surefire lights on my weapons. They’ve never failed me at home or abroad […]

Elite Survival Systems: Loadout range bag
In the never-ending search for the right range bag to haul handguns, ammo, ear-pro, targets, a staple gun (and many other things) to the firing line with, I’ve gone through a number of different (and inadequate) bags. Some were bigger, some smaller, but all had a deficiency that caused an unnecessary pain in the ass […]
Photo of the day: The 2-mile gun
The king of the 2-mile winning rifle made from the folks at JJ Rock Co. With an 8 second flight time, you can get 2 rounds in the air at the same time heading to the same target. The brains behind the operation are Jon Geib, Duncan Davis and Rudy Gonsior taking home the win […]
ESEE-3 MIL Fixed Blade: Practical and fully capable
ESEE knives are popular amongst Loadout Room writers. From the SERE instructor to our editor, ESEE knives receive a lot of praise and for a good reason. I have owned an ESEE 6 for years, but I only recently got my hands on the ESEE-3 MIL, and it certainly does not disappoint. The ESEE-3 MIL may be the smallest out of […]
Vortex Spitfire 3x: ACOG on a budget?
If you’re like me, you want your AR-style carbine to be capable of engaging targets from right in front of you, all the way out to its limits (500 meters give or take). I’ve always wanted to maintain the capability of being able to shoot out to 500 meters reliably. Having qualified with iron sights […]
Photo of the day: The M134D-H Hybrid Gatling Gun
The M134D-H Hybrid Gatling Gun is the standard lightweight Minigun design from Dillon Aero. The Hybrid Gatling Gun combines the titanium and skeletonized parts that were originally engineered for use in the M134D-T titanium Gatling Gun with the steel housing of the M134D steel Gatling Gun. The Hybrid gun was designed to offer the weight […]
GORUCK Wire Dopp: A discreet way to transport your EDC
The GORUCK Wire Dopp is really a universal Dopp pouch, typically used for organizing electronics and the accompanying cords. Although I have used it in that capacity, I have found a different use for the Wire Dopp; Transporting my EDC items when traveling via ground transportation. Not only is this a practical way to transport your EDC, […]
The HK 416 Short Barreled Rifle
The Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta has been using the HK 416 weapon platform since early 2004 to replace their M4 carbines for a, particularly good reason. The piston driven system design prevents combustion gases from entering the weapon’s interior. The reduction in heat and fouling of the bolt carrier group increases the reliability of the weapon […]
FN SCAR 16S Performance Review
My SCAR 16s review so far has focused on a broad overview of the weapon. Part two will feature how the SCAR 16s handles, shoots, and feels. The intention of my SCAR 16S review is to give shooters on the fence an accurate explanation of the way the weapon functions and handles. I’m trying to avoid […]
The Timepiece of Cosmonauts: Fortis B42 Cosmonaut
To many, a watch is more than just something that tells you the time or the date. In many career fields having a watch on your wrist is almost a requirement more than it is a fashion accessory for men. Pilots, Doctors, Nurses, and a host of other professions rely on accurate timekeeping on a […]
