The MTM Special Ops Silver Falcon is a watch that I was very excited to review. I generally prefer a more simplistic watch and stay away from ones with extra bells and whistles, but the Falcon manages to offer the extras while maintaining a very classy profile. The primary benefit I see in this watch is with the LED torch and strobe lights. For every day carry situations, … [Read more...] about MTM Special Ops Silver Falcon watch review

Say goodbye to electronic pistol safes: Titan gun safe review
I had an electronic pistol box for quick access to my primary home defense pistol for almost two years. The day came when the batteries died and I went to grab the 9-volt battery to “jump-start” it. It was at that point I discovered the pistol box was designed to revert to the default factory code when the battery died. In the two-year span, I had forgotten the original code … [Read more...] about Say goodbye to electronic pistol safes: Titan gun safe review

This gives you real performance data with live fire and dry fire … [Read more...] about MantisX firearms training system review

LÜM-TEC Combat B37 24-hour watch review

How the 3/2 Marine Sniper urination video saw the light of day
On July 27, 2011, when members of a Marine Scout Sniper platoon assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines made the decision to urinate on the corpses of several Taliban members, they saw it as a small payback for their fallen comrades who had been mutilated by many of those same Taliban fighters not long before in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
