Gear Reviews

Full disclosure, this week’s review is on a product that comes from a teammate of mine. We go back so far we were building sandcastles on the beach long before we were running guns on the Tigris, and sometimes fast walking guns on the Tigris cause our cardio sucked.

The Axil Trackr Blu headphones provide fantastic hearing protection with an awesome audio component that offers Bluetooth compatibility for superior connectivity in the modern world. This is my first experience with Axil products and I can’t help but be impressed. They’ve since become my very favorite headphones and I look forward to seeing what else Axil has to offer.

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.

For me, I recently decided it was time for a major upgrade.  Enter Steelhead Outdoors, the Minnesota-based manufacturer of the Nomad series of modular, easy-to-assemble, AND disassemble, gun safes.   

Over the last five years, WE Knife Co. has established a solid reputation for building high quality production knives that rival, and often beat, the top USA and European manufacturers. They make outstanding knives with longstanding, reputable, factories and facilities.

Looking for reliable components to complete a build? Trying to find the most budget-friendly route to end up with an RMR on a Glock? Well, you are not alone. These are the exact questions I was asking just over three years ago when trying to price out a red dot-equipped pistol.

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.

Houston-based optics company Primary Arms already announced pre-order sales of their new 1x MicroPrism scope, but we got a chance to check out another model that hasn’t yet been posted online.

Aptly named the “Primal” the brand new can is designed for big caliber, high-pressure rifle cartridges just like the .450 Marlin.
