The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I’ve seen some pretty talented shooters making the same basic mistakes at the range. Over and over again, I see (and have fallen victim to) brain farts that should elude all but the most basic shooter. Screws that weren’t properly torqued coming loose in scope rings, spending far too long (and too many rounds) trying […]
Ever since the announcement of Sig’s new P365 micro compact pistol, I’ve eagerly anticipated its arrival. At SHOT Show, I had the pleasure of handling the pistol at the Sig Sauer booth but missed the opportunity to shoot it on Range Day. Apparently, Sig Sauer has their own range day and doesn’t participate in the […]

I didn’t start my journey into firearms as a Glock guy – in fact, the first pistol I ever purchased was by trusty old 1911. It took time, and the constant badgering of men with tactical experience and proficiency that I respected to convince me that I needed to try one out for myself. So, […]

Today I’m reviewing the best bag of Shot Show 2019, the 5.11 LV18 “Low-vis” 30-liter backpack. This isn’t your ordinary bag, in fact, I would consider it a piece of my kit now. It boasts a lot of cool features and leaves out the nonsense. I was able to fit my full loadout inside this […]
The “Prepared Citizen Classic” design was conceived based on the phenomenon in evolutionary biology known as mimicry, in which one organism resembles another in order to improve its odds of survival. The pack’s outward appearance, reminiscent of the most commonplace daypacks, helps its well-equipped owner take on an uninteresting and non-threatening appearance, protecting him from […]
I took a student’s carbine that was completely dry and showed how I lube an M4 without taking anything apart by dropping oil in the bolt carrier exhaust ports then firing 5-7 rounds. Obviously, this is mostly used in training although some have used it for real. This will lube the necessary parts of the […]
I was shivering uncontrollably. My thin warm weather rip-stop Crye multicams did little to ward off the December chill in Northeastern Washington. It was 2030 hours, well past civil twilight this far north and it had been dark for four hours by this point. We’d been evading by moon and starlight and had settled into […]
