Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review In a world that can get unexpectedly dark, whether you’re negotiating the treacherous terrain of your living room chasing a midnight snacky snack or trying to navigate a forest infested with bears, mountain cougars, and God knows what else; having a reliable flashlight is a must. […]
If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly concealed carry pistol, the CZ P-10 S makes a strong case for itself, kind of like that one friend who always volunteers to drive but has a car that smells like last week’s Indian food. At an MSRP of just $399, you’re getting a subcompact 9mm with solid […]
If you were to ask me what brand I recommend for tactical flashlights, I would tell you without hesitation, Streamlight. Streamlight offers a wide range of practical products at a reasonable price. They do their job, and they do it well. My trusted flashlight for my EDC bag is my Streamlight ProTac HL-X (you can […]
Streamlight is one of two companies I trust with my weapon lights. The TLR 1 is my home defense companion on my handgun, and now the Streamlight TLR 6 is riding tight on my SIG P365. The P365 has become my EDC gun and the addition of a light and laser truly makes it a […]
From the earliest days of mankind, one of the few things that separated our particular breed of big-brained monkey from the rest of the competition in the wild was our ability to harness light, in the form of fire. Fire, of course, was paramount to our success as a species for a number of other […]
My EDC used to be heavier than it is now, but I’ve learned to ‘cut the fat’ through training, practice, and education. My EDC is a pretty basic setup compared to most, but that is because I prefer simple which leads to being habitual with carrying it. Every morning I walk down the steps, into […]
Light when and where you need it Having light when you need it can make or break you! A light that is reliable, bright, durable, and functions in ways you didn’t know you needed is invaluable. The Streamlight Siege X USB lantern is one of those lights you might not have realized you needed until […]
The ProTac HL-X packs a stout 1,000 lumens in a durable EDC package. I find it to be just the right size for an EDC flashlight that you can wear on your belt or have in your pocket. For starters, the ProTac HL-X comes with two CR123A batteries and a nylon pouch/holster for the flashlight. The pouch has a Velcro strap to […]
Like most gear enthusiasts I have a problem not putting the “best” gear on my rifle. What is the best? Gear that is used and vetted by only the most accomplished/published gunfighters in the business. For the longest time, I’ve only trusted Surefire lights on my weapons. They’ve never failed me at home or abroad […]
Streamlight’s new ProTac 90 is a 300 lumen, right angle tactical light with multi-fuel technology. The big news here is that you can use CR123 Lithium batteries for performance or AA Lithium or AA Alkaline when the availability of cost is an issue. Perfect for a firefighter’s turnouts or a soccer mom’s bug out bag, […]
