Alessi Ankle Holster Review
There are holster makers and then there is Lou Alessi. Alessi has made his living producing the world’s finest leather holsters for decades. His designs reflect the knowledge gained from countless hours of studying the products of previous generations. One of the gems Alessi offers in his standard line of holsters is an ankle holster. What separates the Alessi ankle holster from others on the market is the thought put into making it. The construction of the Alessi ankle holster is a leather backing sewn to a heavy felt lining. Attached to the leather backing is the actual holster, which is made ...
Surefire Optimus and Invictus Flashlights Update
For those that haven't heard, the 2009 Surefire catalog does not include the UA2 Optimus or UB2 Invictus. There is no official word explaining the delay or postponement of these two highly anticipated flashlights. The only slight ray of hope that we have is that the catalog does show a UB3 Invictus with a maximum output of 350 lumens. Again, there is no word on its' availability. Hopefully the UB3 won't go the way of the UA2 or UB2. If Surefire got ahead of themselves by publishing them in the 2008 catalog, here's hoping that they can overcome any production issues and the ...
Eagle Industries E & E Bag Review: Part 1
Eagle Industries recently introduced a new bag they have dubbed the Escape and Evasion Bag. It is not unlike the many other bug-out bags in theory. In execution however, Eagle has shown that their attention to detail is second to none. The first thing that you notice is the lack of tactical-looking MOLLE attachment points that are common on other bug-out bags. Eagle designed the bag to be low profile enough to avoid arousing suspicion about the contents of the bag. Likewise, they included a MOLLE attachment panel on the bag, only it is hidden by a padded, zippered ...
Spyderco Spydercard Review
Many people like EDCing a knife for everyday cutting needs but don’t want to be encumbered with a large tactical folding knife. Afterall, a small unobtrusive pocket knife will handle most cutting chores while being less likely to raise eyebrows. As small, unobtrusive folding knives go, few have ever been as carry friendly as Spyderco’s Spydercard. Designed by Israeli knifemaker Eduard Bradichansky, the Spydercard could be called the ultimate EDC knife. As the name implies, the Spydercard is made to fit in a credit card slot in a wallet. Once in place, deploying is as easy as simply grabbing the generous ...

MSA-Sordin Supreme Electronic Ear Muffs
On the exterior, the MSA Sordin ear muffs appear to be ordinary hearing protection. But there is much more to a pair of MSA Sordins than meets the eye. The MSA Sordin Supreme headsets feature sound amplification technology that amplifies low-decibel sounds 3x while filtering out load sounds over 80 decibels. That makes them ideal for use in environments... [Read more of this review]
