Professional Gear Reviews
The Tactical Tailor Active shooter bag and I have been having quite a bit of fun. I’m lucky enough to own a bit of property and have my own personal range. That means I really got to take it out and use it as necessary. Before we get to the shooting review let’s take a […]
Specialized gear and equipment is a part of any job, and protective services are no different. In fact, having a majority of individuals coming from military and law enforcement backgrounds makes it even more of an issue as practitioners tend to rely on gear more than they should, at times. There are many options which […]
As always, I am a huge proponent of carrying and using whatever you have at your disposal. However depending on how you’re trained or how your brain works, because we are all different, certain firearms can be more conducive to your shooting skills than others. That being said I have my own personal standards for […]
The Makarov pistol was Russia’s solution to the need for a modern military sidearm and caliber after World War 2. It was a replacement for the TT33 Tokarev, a pistol that was deemed too large and underpowered for practical use any more; it also lacked a manual safety, something that most military’s desire for a […]
The .22 LR caliber firearms aren’t very loud to begin with—add a suppressor to that and you’ve got a very quiet shooter that is perfect for plinking or hunting small game. SilencerCo has yet again produced a quality AND affordable suppressor with the Spectre II. With an MSRP of around $400, what’s not to love? The Spectre features stainless […]

Well after some thorough research, I came across Patagonia’s Atom 8L sling pack. A small, […]
I have a passion for getting outside and for fitness. Anytime I can combine the two, I’m all in. Hiking is a family favorite for my family. The adventure of going out into the woods and exploring new trails and terrain unlocks the human mind and spirit. I also like rucking for fitness as an […]
Reconnaissance teams of all different origins have always been centered around the ability to be a minimalist, highly maneuverable element that can discreetly observe and report on the enemy, providing valuable intelligence for command elements that often dictates when and where the fight takes place. With this mission comes the desire for lightweight and versatile equipment […]
The Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa Japan had to be one of my favorite deployments. Learning how to operate and survive in a jungle environment is vastly different than a desert or woodland environment. There are also threats native to the jungle that you must be aware of. I remember attending a […]
A few things in this photo that I quickly noticed were the snacks (Pop Tarts & Stinger bars), stripped MRE and baby wipes. You can tell, just from those three items, that this dude has done this a few times. It’s little things like that, that come from real-world experience. Other than the obvious, some […]
