There seem’s to be quite a few manufacturers of USB device chargers. Everything from the cheap little charging sticks that give you a single charge to the larger ones that provide the ability to charge phones, tablets and other USB powered devices. I personally prefer a middle of the road charger that can charge/power my iPhone […]
GORUCK was founded in 2008 by a former Special Forces soldier and their flagship product was the GR1.  Jason McCarthy, the founder and CEO of GORUCK, described the inspiration for the GR1 as a “bag that you could use in Baghdad or New York City, that would be tough enough for Special Forces, but that […]
Best known for their bombproof Tundra coolers and soft-sided Hopppers, Yeti is continuing to innovate outside their box. The Yeti Camino 35 is one such product. Like all of the products that roll off the production line, the Camino 35 is yet another over-engineered and well thought out item. Made from the same “Thickskin” material […]
Introduced in 2015 the Glock 43 was the first single stack 9mm pistol in a long line of double stack offerings from the Austrian manufacturer. This model was long overdue in both my opinion and that of many Glock fans. As much as I love to carry the Glock 19, it’s isn’t the most concealable option […]
After upgrading several components on my Glock 19, like the barrel, slide and trigger, I decided to finish the project by customizing the polymer frame. With so many companies offering to chop up and stipple your Glock frame, I was a little overwhelmed by my initial search results. Not knowing the quality of the work […]
Proudly built in Tualatin, Oregon, ZT Knives was founded in 2006 when they recognized a void in the market for an American made line of hard-use knives. A line of knives suitable for both military and law enforcement use. Since then, ZT has not only continued to over-engineer their offerings for first responders, but offer several daily […]
Cascadia, a term used to reference the Cascade mountain region located in the Pacific Northwest. A place I spent a fair amount of time growing up. Having attended high school in Tacoma, Washington as well as serving in 2/75 Ranger Battalion at Fort Lewis Washington, I’m familiar with the term. And even more familiar with […]
The Glock pistol is a polymer-framed, short recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistol designed and produced by Austrian Glock Ges.m.b.H.. It entered Austrian military and police service by 1982 after it was the top performer in reliability and safety tests. Despite initial resistance from the market to accept a perceived “plastic gun” due to unfounded durability and reliability concerns and […]
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 […]
My biggest problem when I go on long distance hikes isn’t the weight of my pack or the hot spots on my heels, it’s the annoyance of constantly tying up my laces! Luckily, the fine folks at SOB Tactical, led by John McPhee, have developed just the solution to this aggravating problem. The Sheriff of […]
