ASP’s Dual Fuel Guardian AA: Every Day Carry and great backup duty light

As part of your Every Day Carry (EDC) kit, you need a good light to keep the dark at bay, confuse an assailant, or find your way through over uneven terrain or dark alleys. I have been using the ASP Dual Fuel Guardian for a month now, it is small enough to keep in my […]

Concealed Carry – How to Carry: Thigh Holster (Part 1) - TheArmsGuide.com

Ladies’ Concealed Carry: Thigh Holster

Picking out the holster that suits your needs best is half the battle. The other half is learning just how to wear the thing without looking like you’re doing your best duck waddle impression. Finding the right spot on your leg to situate your holster depends on the hem length of your skirt or dress, […]

Golden Saber Bonded: Penetration and Consistency

I consider Remington Golden Saber hollow points to be excellent rounds for those serious about having rounds that are proven to perform reliably. With this, I feel that the Golden Saber Bonded is a natural progression in performance. Terminally, they still maintain good penetration, with the added benefit of continuing to perform  after passing through […]

Elzetta modular flashlights: Model A313

Elzetta modular flashlights: Model A313

Modularity is a highly sought-after feature of many everyday carry (EDC) product categories. In the flashlight category, I don’t think anyone offers a better modular product than Elzetta. They are American-made, tough, and extremely effective. My model A313 is now a staple in my EDC for several reasons – primarily the modularity that I previously […]

The Cold Steel Hideout - Never Go It Alone

The Cold Steel Hideout – Never Go It Alone

“There is no such thing as a knife fight, there is a guy getting a stabbed and a guy doing the stabbing.” These words were screamed at my platoon as we learned the basics of knife fighting from one of the best MCMAP instructors I’d ever worked with. MCMAP, of the Marine Corps Martial Arts […]

Emerson La Griffe A Review of the Claw

Emerson La Griffe: A Fixed Blade for Everyday

During my Emerson La Griffe review I was pleasantly surprised. In my experience, folding knives are small and made for the pocket. Fixed blade knives are large and hang off the belt. The Emerson La Griffe defies both expectations. It’s a fixed blade knife that goes on the belt but is small enough to pocket. In the […]

Omega Protective Concepts: ​Omega B-1 BLADE

Omega Protective Concepts: ​Omega B-1 BLADE

I had been following Maury Abreu – founder and Chief Instructor of Omega Protective Concepts for awhile hoping to train combatives with him as he is a fellow New Jersey guy. Maury is a former Marine, Federal Corrections Officer, and contractor for the government. Last year Maury announced that he was offering his own combat […]

Pistol Training Basics: Building Your Shooting Stance

Taken individually, the draw stroke, trigger position, hand position, body posture, breath control, and sight focus are easy to work on. For example, if you’re not worried about anything but focusing on the front sight of your pistol (unless you’re like me and have started working towards using just a red dot on your pistols), […]

Watch: Karambit Blade Demonstration

Watch: Karambit Blade Demonstration

I’ve always been a huge advocate for carrying a blade for both utility and defense. There is a lot more to carrying a blade for self-defense than just buying a cool knife and throwing it in your pocket. You need to seek training in using a knife for self-defense if that is going to be […]

Beretta Nano: Unnecessarily Unappreciated

The Beretta Nano, or the BU9 (Beretta USA 9mm) Nano, is certainly a mysterious and heavily avoided pistol for reasons I don’t understand after owning it. But lets talk about how all of this started. Beretta has been around for about 5 centuries. They have been building quality guns for the military and the civilian enthusiast since its start in […]
