Holsters are like rifle slings, you need one and would prefer one you like but often you end up settling for what does the job. For me at least, my concealed carry woes are gone thanks to 1791 and their new line of Light Bearing Leather Holsters. The size 4 fits my light-bearing Glock 30 ..read more

Two months ago I received this 45L pack, normally it doesn’t take this long to get a review out about an item, especially one as good as this, but this took a while to learn just how good it was. I’ve used it for work carrying my laptop, lunch, and water, I’ve used it for ..read more

BAM! Ping, BAM! Ping, what better way to spend a Sunday morning with Grandson # 2 in tow? BAM! Ping, suddenly Darth Vadar’s theme music is blaring in my ears. What the ….. Devil is going on? Oh wait, these are BlueTooth ear muffs and they were/are paired with my phone that’s back in the ..read more

I like flashlights. NOT as much as I like knives, but I like a good EDC flashlight and thankfully there are many choices available to pick from these days. NITECORE has many flashlights but not all have the bells and whistles the MT2A PRO has. A penlight with the dual power source of 2 AA ..read more

I’ve owned at least 200 knives in my life so far, thanks to a trip back to my family home in 2019 I found my first knife and still have it today, albeit a bit worse for wear. Since that first knife, I’ve owned cheap knives, expensive knives, swords of many types, carbon fiber knives ..read more

When I started Military Security work, safety glasses were almost non-existent. Later in my Law Enforcement years, they were often of dubious quality compared to today’s standards but the idea of one set that was useful and included lenses to wear indoors and outdoors hadn’t become a “thing” yet. Today, thankfully we have Bolle Safety ..read more

At the homestead one Saturday, I’d finally grown tired of the overgrown shrubbery in the front yard, and the time for trimming and clearing out weeds that didn’t belong there was long overdue. I let Layla out for supervision, then grabbed the Spetsnaz Survival Machete Chopper that I’ve been using for the past few weekends ..read more

Going to the range is always fun, getting to shoot more guns and some awesome Black Hills ammo makes it even more so. In this case, I was testing my new Glock 30 with its 3.78″ barrel and comparing it to my old CCW pistol a Springfield XDS with its 3.3″ barrel. I wanted a ..read more

Flashlights are one of the most used and needed devices today next to cell phones and even they include a flashlight demonstrating our need for light when we find ourselves in the darkness. I was taught not to fear the dark and how to see with minimal light, blue light (shudder!), red, and green light ..read more

As “apocalyptic thriller” movies go, this 2023 Netflix movie is a bit different. My wife and I watch these types of movies because sometimes they are interesting or action-oriented etc and I often poke fun at many things we see, the typical “I think they missed the mark on that one” stuff. But I’ll give ..read more
