Precision rifle zeroing | Basics done right by Ranger sniper team leader

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 […]

Ammo Inc. | Food for your handgun

It is often said, “it isn’t what you know, rather who you know”. Such was the case when it came to working with Ammo Inc. and their line-up of ammunition products. I had seen a few product announcements over the last year but hadn’t found a place with any (left) on the shelf. Thankfully, Ammo […]

Watch: DIY Improvements for Howard Leight Impact Sport

In this video, I do a little experimental DIY improvement to an aging set of Howard Leight Impact Sport ear protection. With all the empty space inside, it seems like adding some mass to the voids should improve the noise reduction rating (NRR). In part one of the two-part series, I cover disassembly and detail […]

Peltor Sport 300 and 500 | Ear-pro review

While the 3M-owned Peltor hearing protection brand has gained most of it’s attention from military issued units, their Peltor Sport line-up of ear-pro has been making some local waves of their own. This past SHOT show (January 2018) I had a chance to stop in a check out the Peltor Sport Tactical 300 and 500 […]

An Army Rangers Agency Arms Glock 34 Handgun

“Synergy” -noun 1. The interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc. This is a term that expertly describes this Rangers Agency Arms Glock 34 build. I know my way around Glocks. They’ve been my sidearm of choice since ’93 when […]

Blue Force Gear RackMINUS | Not Just For Shooters

Blue Force Gear has been garnering a lot of attention in the last couple of years (rightfully), mainly for their significant advancements in the design of load bearing equipment. Their use of proprietary materials in their ULTRAcomp fabric, as well as their Helium Whisper attachment system and MOLLEminus designs, have generated a new standard for […]

Hexmag 30 Round Magazine Review

It takes a good angle to stick out in the world of Ar15 magazines these days. The tug-of-war between Magpul and USGI aluminum mags hasn’t left a lot of room for newer or smaller competitors to make their way in the market. Hexmag’s 30-round mag’s visually distinctive grip pattern and use of the hexagonal-cut grip […]

Armscor 9mm Ammunition

Now that the Great Ammo Recession of 2008-2016 is over for most parts of the country, many shooters are hoping for a return to the days of cheap and abundant ammunition. Having had an opportunity in recent weeks to test out different 9mm loads, I was excited at the prospect of being sent an inexpensive […]

Innovative Arms W.A.R | Adjustable gas receiver

As the AR-15 platform has evolved from its origins as a plastic-furnished sporting rifle, to the nearly indistinguishable PDW’s and long range precision rifles of the modern era, the number, and type of accessories and options has increased exponentially. With variances in barrels and calibers, came adjustable gas blocks to mitigate excess blowback. Longer rails […]

Ranger Nutrition | Fuel for your flesh

Doing a bit of info gathering, one could easily identify a sizable portion of the Loadoutroom readership that’s currently (or has in the past) associated with either Law Enforcement or the US Armed Services. Among the non-LEO or MIL readers, there still exists a significant portion who share a common interest with our uniformed associates: […]
