Clearly, we at Monderno love kydex. Lots and lots of kydex. There is a common saying in the industry that “kydex is kydexâ€. There is a lot of truth in that. There are probably 120+ companies making kydex holsters out there, in varying degrees of quality. Most, you’ve probably never heard of. We were recently […]
A few months back my buddy Matt from Down Range Firearms Training made a YouTube video about the new Claw EMS rear sight. After watching, I was interested and decided to get one in to test. I’ve had a Claw rear sight on my Glock 19 for a few months now, and I can tell you […]
I had been hearing good things about the Vortex SPARC for quite a while, both from buddies and from various places on the internet. Everything from “an Aimpoint T1 for around $200” to “a great budget red dot optic that is rock solid,” so I decided to buy one and see what all the talk […]
I’m constantly on the lookout for new baseball caps to try, both because I love them, and because I hate them. I love them for obvious reasons, but I hate them because they usually don’t fit/look right on my dome. It’s really not my fault… Enter the recently released Haley Strategic Troubleshooter Cap. When I saw […]
About a month ago, we had the privilege of announcing a new holster to the market, the X-FER by Armordillo Concealment. My initial impressions after running it for a few days were positive, but I promised to report back after I had the chance to test it more thoroughly, and it’s now time. If you follow Monderno, […]
Pictured - Brittany wearing a Smith & Wesson Shield in a Spartan Village Kydex holster. If you haven’t noticed, we at Monderno like a good Kydex holster. In need of an outside the waistband (OWB) holster for my Smith & Weston Shield, I turned to Spartan Village. With a claim of being the most comfortable on the market, […]
Pictured above: Glock 19 Gen 4 in a PHLster Skeleton, Skeleton Mag Carrier, Kershaw Turbulence. View a high resolution version here. The PHLster Skeleton remains one of my all-time favorite minimalist holster designs. It’s a small, well-made holster that has a ton of features like ride height and cant adjustment among others. If you’re looking […]
Earlier this year, INFORCE released a momentary only version of their weapon mounted light (WML), and I ordered a white light only version in black to mount on my AR. If you’re not familiar with the INFORCE WML, as the name suggests, it’s a light that attaches to your rail using INFORCE’s patent pending clamp system, […]
Pictured is a Glock 19 in a PHLster Skeleton, Boxer Tactical Stryker Belt. About six months ago now, I was talking guns and gear with Jon at PHLster when he mentioned a new company he discovered sewing top quality tactical nylon gear here in the US, and at reasonable prices. Naturally, I was interested, and I contacted […]
PHLster is no stranger to Monderno. They make some of the best Kydex holsters out there, and I seem to continue to find reasons to send them my money. Recently, they came up with something new in the world of Kydex called G Loops. What Are G Loops? G Loops are pieces of .125″ Kydex […]
