I’ve been utilizing what I call a “get home bag” for quite some time now. This bag has changed over time to fit my needs and my growing concerns about the state of the outside world. What I mean, is that as I’ve deemed the world more dangerous, my get home bag has gotten more […]
Why I Prefer Blacked Out Rear Pistol Sights
I recently, as in the last two years, have made the switch from a traditional three dot sighting system to a blacked out (or nearly blacked out) rear sight with a front dot (usually tritium) on my EDC gun.

Concealment Express Kydex Holster Review
At some point during the SHOT Show 2020 conference I ran into the folks over at the Concealment Express booth. We got to talking and they agreed to send me a holster to check out for my SIG Sauer P365XL. This is an IWB, or inside the waistband, holster that is a one piece design. […]
