When I first ran across Swampfox Tactical Optics, I was looking for a small red dot sight. At the time, I had two possible uses in mind — I had a Ruger 10/22 Takedown Charger build in progress and had hoped that the entire package would fit inside of a .50 cal ammo can. The only thing keeping this from happening was ...
For 50+ years, Propper has been making outstanding military, law enforcement and tactical apparel and gear. Having owned several articles of Propper made clothing over the years, it’s one of the first companies I considered when I needed some new pants. I’m not a big fan of jeans. In the summer ...
Several times per week, I need a screwdriver. Usually it’s while I’m sitting around with my family – maybe a toy needs new batteries or I need to do something computer or electronics related. Sometimes I’m sitting at my desk working. Most of my tools live in the basement, but we tend to keep a random assortment of ...
After 100 prototypes, Slimfold started selling the “world’s thinnest wallet” in 2009 at San Francisco street fairs and boutique shops. 10+ years later and after two successful Kickstarter campaigns, Slimfold continues to be innovative and has developed some interesting products. I’ve been using a front ...
I never really considered myself a knife person – I wasn’t sure why people spent $100 or more on a pocket knife, typically sticking to knifes that were $50 or less for my personal use. Then I received a couple of knives from BÖKER PLUS for testing & evaluation. My perspective on this all changed instantaneously! ...
Like many in Redding CA, STOW lost nearly everything to the Carr Fire in 2018. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign and the local community, STOW is back on it’s feet and manufacturing quality wallets again. I’ve been using a front pocket/minimalist wallet since 2015 . That summer I backpacked ...
No batteries ... no parallax error ... shoot with both eyes open? Sign me up! After using a Bushnell TRS-25 for a few weeks, I really liked the idea of using an optic that allowed me to shoot with both eyes open. Being a cheap, entry-level optic, the TRS-25 does not have an auto-shutoff and has poor battery life. ...
While I have never been involved in a situation where a weapon was necessary, I've had a few situations hit too close to home: A friend was shot in the 2015 San Bernardino shooting. Before it was determined exactly who the shooter was, the attendees of the party were bussed to my son's school. I worked at the ...
While researching budget low powered variable optics (LVPOs) and red dots, Primary Arms is a name that seems to come up quite often — when we found this scope as a new, but blemished on eBay, we had to take advantage of the price and see what all of the hype is about. Being a blemished item, I had some concerns ...
No batteries ... no parallax error ... shoot with both eyes open and it glows in the dark? Sign me up! After using the SeeAll Opensight Mk1 for a couple of years and recently purchasing my first tritium sight, I was excited when the SeeAll Mk2 Tritium Night Sight went on sale a few months ago. I had been impressed ...
