Gear reviews including survival gear, camping gear, tents, flashlights, holsters, EDC gear, tactical nylon and more.
Though I am normally an Air Force I or Timberlands kind of guy, I did spend several years working in a police uniform, so I appreciate a well-made duty boot. I wore a bunch of different boots on the streets and on the range but I am always looking for something quicker, lighter, and tougher. […]
This past weekend, I traveled down to Houston and had the pleasure of hanging out with some good friends at the inaugural Carbine Home Defense class by 2 Vets Arms. In planning for the weekend, I had two main goals in mind. Goal #1 was to train with and gain some great insight from the folks at 2 Vets […]
In today’s firearms industry, designing and producing concealed carry holsters for your handgun and associated accessories can be done in the confines of your own home. This type of gear is usually designed for the everyday citizen to facilitate concealed carry and sometimes off duty law enforcement officers. (more…)
My buddy Mike from EAGLElement is the host of Gear & Tactics, a video series produced by Guns & Tactics that showcases outdoor and tactical products. Mike does a great job on his gear reviews, both for EAGLElement and Guns & Tactics, and I always enjoy hearing his perspective. On the latest episode of Gear & Tactics, Mike reviewed […]
Company to company, nothing really changes much when it comes to tactical nylon. Whether the company makes chest rigs, duty belts, slings, hydration carriers or even plate carriers they’re virtually all the same.

The folks over at G-Code are known for making some of the most modular and unique Kydex holsters in the solar system, but up until recently, they didn’t offer many concealment options outside of a pocket holster and IWB adapter. That all changed when they introduced the INCOG. (more…)
Recently, I was approached by a new CHL holder and asked how I carried in the car. She mentioned that she wanted to have a way to access her gun faster if she needed it in an emergency. When I asked the details of her typical in-car trip, she carried in her purse, which was […]
Those of you who have been following Monderno for a while know that I have a bit of a thing for the PHLster Skeleton holster. To date it remains one of my favorite minimalist appendix carry holsters, and I’ve recommended it to quite a few of you. Recently, the mad scientists over at PHLster came […]
A while back I reviewed the INFORCE WML, a lightweight, polymer body weapon light that attaches to a rifle, carbine or shotgun. The short version of that review is that I was, and continue to be, very impressed. I actually run a WML on all of my carbines now, and I’ve even used them hog […]
Last year I purchased a new softshell, an Arc’teryx LEAF Drac Jacket in Urban Wolf. Because Al Gore insists on flying his personal jet all over the globe preaching against global warming, thereby hypocritically dumping untold amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere and heating up the planet (sarcasm intended), I didn’t get many opportunities last […]
