Gear reviews including survival gear, camping gear, tents, flashlights, holsters, EDC gear, tactical nylon and more.
Time and time again I see students buying and using the latest and greatest handgun, long gun, optic, etc on the market, yet when asked if they have any basic medical training, or if they carry any basic medical gear, I get a confused look as if I just spoke a foreign language. Sometimes I […]
When I think of a level IV plate carrier, “low profile” does not come to mind. Many manufacturers have tried in the past to develop a low profile plate carrier with varied results, some far more successful than others. Obviously the issue is the thickness of a level IV plate, the thickness of the material […]
I am an unapologetic SureFire loyalist when it comes to most of my flashlight needs. From 1999 to 2010, I owned nothing but Surefire products and when I was issued another brand light for my entry/patrol rifle during my time with the DOD, I said no thanks and stuck with my Surefire. (more…)
Every now and then a company will resurrect a product from the dead, and redesigns it for the better. Rogue Gunfighter has done that and so much more with their newly released Low Vis Chest Rig (LVCR). The LVCR is realistically a reproduced and re-engineered version of the US Military’s Load Bearing Vest (LBV). For […]
When I left the kydex holster making business 2 years ago, kydex color choices were pretty extensive, as long as you liked black, OD, and Coyote. Fast-forward 24 months and these days pretty much anything is fair game on the color wheel. The customization that we’ve seen, especially in the last year, has been explosive […]
I think I can safely speak for the majority of gun owners when I say that taking a blazing-hot soldering iron and playing the Hokey-Pokey with the frame of a pistol isn’t something I’m entirely comfortable with. It took a good bit of practice on random pieces of plastic and a substantial amount of commitment […]
Our eyeballs are important. Without them it’s hard to drive a car, fully appreciate a double rainbow, or throw longing gazes at that voluptuous blonde across the bar. Makes sense that we should protect our eyes since they do so much for us. Protection for our eyes is particularly important when it comes to firearms […]
In the world today, where carrying overt defensive tools such as folding knives and firearms will get you a second look, there stands a niche for tools that can be discreetly carried in non-permissive environments. Chris Watkins, an active duty United States service member as well as a part time self-defense instructor, designed a tool […]
About six months ago, I got my hands on a prototype of Boxer Tactical’s newest belt called the Zenith, and since then, I’ve been using it almost daily. In fact, if you read Monderno, you’ve seen this belt several times over the past few months in other reviews, like in my G-Code INCOG and PHLster […]
A few months ago Brandon asked me to review a pair of “spy†glasses that have a built in camera in them. Being somewhat of a techno geek I was interested in giving them a try but wasn’t real sure what to expect as I have seen several different types of “spy†glasses marketed and […]
