Professional Gear Reviews
Here at SOFREP, we do a lot of talking about gear, training, and general preparedness. Pulling from our military, professional, and hobbyist backgrounds with firearms, we do our best to relate our experiences to you in an approachable way, and often, those experiences suggest that training, not equipment, is what will save your life in a […]
When training with a pistol or a rifle on your own it’s easy to lose focus and waste ammunition by “just shooting.” Have a plan and train with a purpose by using targets with a built-in lesson plan! Time spent pressing the trigger is important. Repetitive trigger presses are a beneficial investment when made on […]

It seems that people don’t understand that the only thing they need for complete adaptability to any platform is a steady trigger pull without disturbing their sight picture.

With so many companies offering to chop up and stipple your Glock frame, I was a little overwhelmed by my initial search results. Not knowing the quality of the work […]
Carrying a flashlight is a great idea and can seriously come in handy. It’s one of those tools that when you need one you really need one. There are a lot of light options out there and picking the right one for you can be a bit daunting. That said, carrying anything is better than nothing provided […]
For every shooter there is a certain range that they reach their limit of proficiency at, of course this is not a constant but changes with time and practice; as skill improves, so does the distance. This point of proficiency is the furthest distance the shooter can effectively engage point targets with an almost constant […]

The one thing that will remain constant, provided technology doesn’t find a way around it, is the act of slicing the pie. This is a term used to round corners or objects that obstruct the shooters field of view while […]
If we have no choice but to engage a threat, we need to scan after the threat has been stopped. Scanning helps us begin a (hopefully) rapid return to normalcy post traumatic event. We need to scan 360 degrees, as there are likely several other things going on. Begin with an area scan, looking for […]
