Professional Gear Reviews
The day comes for many budget-minded shooters when paper targets on wooden stands just don’t cut it anymore. While paper is king when it comes to shooting groups or getting a good zero, steel reactive targets are perfect for speed/accuracy balance testing. Â When the moment comes to take a shot on a deer, hog or […]
There are a handful of companies I review regularly, who consistently release products that outperform my expectations on price versus performance. Streamlight Bandit is one of these few, regularly kicking out solid lights at a price that’s tough to beat. Plus, they always ship with batteries included. A small perk, but once you’re used to it, […]
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. Â 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 […]
We’ve all heard of 5:11 right? Â Long known for being the one-stop shop when it comes to overt tactical gear, 5:11 hasn’t rested on their laurels: they’ve continued to push into new markets as evidenced by their discreet lines of clothing and firearms carry displayed at this year’s SHOT show. Â Today, I’m writing about their […]
Not long ago, I wrote a “heads-up” article on Lucid P7 4x prismatic scope. My initial impressions were favorable, but now I’ve had it for enough time to have taken it to the range on a number of trigger-therapy sessions so I can give a more in-depth review. My initial impressions article covered the tech specs […]
It takes a good angle to stick out in the world of Ar15 magazines these days. Â 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. Â Hexmag’s 30-round mag’s visually distinctive grip pattern and use of the hexagonal-cut grip […]
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. Â Having had an opportunity in recent weeks to test out different 9mm loads, I was excited at the prospect of being sent an inexpensive […]
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 […]
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: […]
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 […]
