It is no secret that I am a fan of ZT (Zero Tolerance) knives. ZT is a product line from KAI, USA. They specialize in hard use, semi-custom, factory production knives at a reasonable price. I started my foray into ZT about five years ago when I purchased my beloved ZT 0301 ST. I carried […]
As the defensive tactics instructor at my department, I am very familiar with Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP). If you are a law enforcement officer you’ve probably heard of the company, they have been dishing out top quality police equipment since 1976.

I decided to make the 6-hour drive to upper Michigan to hang with Loadout Room writer, Erik Meisner. The purpose of the trip was to put together some short 1-minute sizzle reels, to give you guys a quick snapshot of what we’re all about.

Whether it’s accessing a remote location after sunset or drinking with friends around a fire, having the best lighting is a key component. Since 2008, Australia […]
For over a month now I’ve been carrying my CZ P09 in the Black Storm Defense IWB holster. Before I started this month I was largely a fan of OWB carry and my everyday carry was a Walther PPS. The jump from a subcompact pistol to a full-sized handgun in a carry method I was […]
Found this photo In my old files. In 1970 apparently, $100 could get you a Hell of a gun and have money for a meal. It’s one of my prized possessions; my grandfathers old Smith & Wesson. -Rick Dembroski
Poorly handled logistics can doom any operation or project incredibly fast. So how do we avoid letting that happen to us in a “post-incident” scenario? The three B’s: beans, bullets, and Band-Aids. These are the key components that make up the backbone of recovery. It’s also essential we learn to properly select, store, and safeguard them. […]
In this installment of “Real-World Prepping,” we will be covering a first here at The Loadout Room: a top-ten list, but with a twist. Our list will focus on things that most preppers tend to overlook or forget to add to their cache of supplies. Note: This list isn’t in order of importance; it’s just a list. In […]
