I recently picked up a package from Spartan Armor—the Sentry Plate Carrier with AR500 Swimmers Cut body armor. Overall, I am very very impressed. If you click on any link we may get a commission from Amazon.com which helps keep gas in the truck and the lights turned on. So if you want to help... Read More

Anybody that has been around firearms I’m sure has been around Glocks. And if you’ve been around Glock 9mms, odds are, you’ve fired either their full size Glock 17, or the “compact” Glock 19. Both are fine firearms, and as with all Glock pistols, designed by Gaston Glock. With very few working parts which are... Read More

“Guns are hungry. Feed your firearm.” That’s Aguila’s tagline. And any commensurate shooter will know this to be the case. For us shooters, you fly through a box of 50, but buying quality ammo in bulk isn’t cheap. I myself have fed some of my Glocks the cheap Tula or steel cased stuff, thinking “eh,... Read More

Up for review is a pair of LALO Grinders from the BUD/S line – the same as the Bloodbirds we sounded off on a few weeks back. These are told to have more mid-foot mobility to kick ass in more agility drills, dynamic bodyweight movements with a softer, grippier feel. Things like jump rope, box... Read More

Up for review is a pretty nifty little tool brought to you by the innovative people at SOG. This is their survival hawk, and as you can tell – it means business! It’s just over 12 inches overall, with a 3″ 420 steel blade that means business! It comes plenty sharp for most tasks. Is... Read More

We recently got our hands on a WRECK BAG and had a chance to push it through the paces. A WRECK BAG is much more than a sandbag, it’s a weighted bag, sure. But it’s not like the other sandbags on the market. It’s known for it’s durability, and has proprietary rubber filling, which is... Read More

Up for review is a mean little blade from CRKT called the Sangrador – literally “the bleeder” in Latin. And it’s no wonder where this blade got it’s name. This double edged blade is 10.5 inches overall, clocking in at 7.4 ounces. The 5.54 blade is made of SK5 steel, coming in with a HRC... Read More

A while back we did a review of some covert escape gear for our PMCs (Private Military Contractors), civilians in high risk locales, or even just prepared civilians. Up for review is the Shomer-Tec SHETB Escape/Travel Belt. This little belt is a great item to add to your EDC (Everyday Carry), which will allow you... Read More

LALO, which many of you may not know stands for Light Assault Operator, has been putting out quality tactical boots for year, favored by special forces operators. But that has changed. They started putting out a new line of footwear called the BUD/S line, inspired by grinder workouts in Coronado. I tested out the Lalo... Read More

I don’t get impressed that often. I mean so impressed that I almost can’t believe what I’m testing. Well, I can say that was not true when I tested out some Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot. It’s easy to see why these are LOWA’s number one seller. These boots are outstanding, super comfortable, lightweight,... Read More

We got our hands on the TRU-SPEC Pathfinder 2.5 Backpack, and after traveling with it outside of the country for a week, I have to say, I love this pack. I haven’t rucked with it yet, but I can tell you unequivocally, it would carry a load over rugged terrain just fine. I had it... Read More

We recently tested some Condor Outdoor boots – the Garner 6″ Zip to be exact – and they held up extremely well in what we threw at them so far. After about 15 miles in the boots, I can say that they are very comfortable and easy on the feet. Granted, 15 miles is barely... Read More

These items are for active duty military, LEO, and first responders only. Please note that SGPT does not endorse using or obtaining these knives for anything illegal.  Ontario Knive Company has been around for a while, 1889 in fact. And  they’ve been making blades for a long time, and it shows. I’ve had a SP2... Read More

I know it’s a bit odd to review pants. Pants are pants are pants, right? Wrong! The Vector 24/7’s from Truspec had me thoroughly impressed when I wore them on a 8+ mile ruck in the Georgia mountains. They are lightweight, flexible, and very breathable. Unlike some other BDU pants I’ve worn, these wick away... Read More
