You know how a lot of range bags are glorified purses and constructed in a way that tells you they were meant as disposable give-away marketing products? Today isn’t one of those days. We went hands-on with the Grey Ghost Gear range bag over the last couple of weeks, which was clearly designed by people that have been to the range.

Despite living in a world of explosive breaching charges, sledgehammers, and battering rams, I saw one piece of gear grow more and more of a following over the years. The simple wonder bar, ie baby crowbar/nail puller.

s I reacclimate myself to the jungle, a forgotten bit of wisdom comes back to me. Very underrated as a tactical necessity, the time is now to start training with gloves on. Yes, even in the woods. Perhaps especially in the woods.

These combat grade flip flops are ones I can highly recommend. If you prefer partial nudity for your toes but don’t wanna be completely lacking, TEVA is the weapon of choice.

Was this a foolish mission to start with? Yes. The only way to decisively win in Afghanistan was full-scale genocide, which we knew from about 2003 forward.

Tru-Spec, prior to this review, I would have called a medium brand. They aren’t Chinesium airsoft pants that will fall apart in a spin cycle, but also not Uber Gucci snobby kid tactical grade. In fact, I bought my stuff for personal use, it was never supposed to be a review. But when my package arrived, I decided I had to get the word out. 

Generally speaking, I am a fan of inside the waistband carry for real concealment. And across the years, Cross Breed has absolutely been my leather of choice. But, sometimes IWB isn’t the best answer. So I do like to have an OWB option laying around, especially for summertime carry.

If you have ever trained with me or read this column often, you know that I have been famously against mag loaders for years.

This is not the cheapest sling I have ever seen. And this isn’t made in some Chinese sweatshop from leftover Nike scraps. Every product I have ever owned from Armageddon Gear is as tough as nails. If you haven’t tried them out, this sling is a great place to start.
