The following video is an advanced shooting drill run by the Russian FSB Alpha teams. Although the video is almost 3 years old, it’s too insane not to share. The Russian military has always leaned more towards the extreme side of training for both Spetsnaz and the elite FSB Alpha teams. What are your thoughts […]

ReadyMan Gray Man Bag | Initial impressions
The ReadyMan Gray Man bag is a simple, well-designed bag that was built to be your everyday carry bag that does not draw attention. The design was based on ReadyMan’s quick opening Patent Pending Scorpion Rapid Access Bag minus the mass amounts of Velcro and adding a laptop, bladder, plate carrier slot. There is a […]
Gadsden Dynamics Triple-G: A compact, inconspicuous rifle mag carrier
Ohio based Gadsden Dynamics has been producing tactical gear under the philosophy: there is a niche for a lower profile, simplified kit. Using 100% Berry compliant materials (made in the USA), Gadsden Dynamics has engineered some solid gear while firmly adhering to the K.I.S.S principle. Count me unsurprised when Andy (the owner) wanted to send […]
Watch: Clint Emerson weighs in on the new Sig Sauer MCX
I grew up shooting Sig Sauer in the SEAL Teams – the P226 handguns were my preferred secondary gun and for low-vis operation, the P239 was my primary… I had the opportunity to shoot some of Sig Sauer’s latest handguns and rifles at the Shot Show 2018 – here is a sneak peek at the […]
Telor Tactical Go Band: Ready for the Un-Expected
The Telor Tactical Go Band takes the idea of a simple go bag and places it on your waist. By go bag I don’t mean a Get home bag or a Bug out bag, but a simple bag with some extra mags, a good knife, and some basic medical gear. If you keep a long […]
SOB Deep Concealment Kydex Holster
I was really stoked to get my hands on one of these holsters. There are many holster makers out there, but there are few that I trust, especially when it was designed by a former Special Operations dude. The SOB Deep Concealment holster is just that; Deep Concealment. The design is minimalistic, yet very functional. […]
Special Operations member reviews the Discreet Rifle Bag (D-Bag) by Q-Blue
The D-BAG by Q -BLUE is the company’s solution to the market of discreet weapon’s cases. The case was designed via a collaboration with Blue Force Gear. The case seems to be an evolution of the now discontinued line of Blue Force Gear Dapper cases. I have owned the BFG 28″ Mk18 case for several years. […]
Gossamer Gear Vagabond backpack: Durable, attractive and functional
There seems to be some misunderstanding of the term “low-vis,” within the tactical community. Plenty of packs advertise themselves as low-vis, yet are camo’ed out or covered in Velcro. A guy walking around with tactical pants, a Suunto watch and a Velcro-covered backpack stick out like a sore thumb anywhere in the world. You literally […]
Vertx Speed Concealed Carry Long Sleeve Shirt
This is one of my favorite shirts to wear during the fall, winter, and spring months when not working. The Vertx Speed Concealed shirt is a blending of comfort and fluid access to your concealed firearm. For any of you that sweat, even when the temperature drops the 37.5 technology, evaporates moisture helping you sweat […]
XS Sights | Big Dot Tritium Sights
XS Sights (formerly XS Sight Systems) is packing some nice tritium sights into a little package. When given the chance to shed the stock blocks from my Glock 17 franken-tester, how could I say no? The question isn’t really whether XS Sight’s product is an upgrade over stock, it’s whether the 24/7 Big Dot Xpress […]
