The black rifle. It’s got so many shapes, sizes, and flavors nowadays. The possibilities are endless, and there are a ton of manufacturers out there. While some just ship them out, and have necessary QC issues, others, like APOC Armory, pride themselves with their products. As well they should. I’ve built my share of ARs,... Read More

There are a lot of companies that make AR parts. From the big dogs like Palmetto State to smaller shops, like Karri’s Guns and Midstate Firearms. We built out a one of Midstate Firearms mid-length uppers, with some pretty cool features. This review will get pretty intensive, so bear with us. If you’re not a... Read More

Up for review is the Condor Outdoor Urban Go Pack. A spacious pack, this item is feature rich, with a large capacity; 48 L in fact. I tested out this pack over the course of about 8 hours, and as many miles in the Georgia mountains, loaded out with between 20 and 40 lbs each... Read More

We love our Glocks here at SGPT. Their ease of use, modularity, proven dependability, and lightweight to capacity ratio lends itself to liking them – whether you’re an avid shooter or first time pistol buyer. They are simple to maintain, and have a decent stock trigger. Pictured left are a stock trigger system removed, a... Read More

By Alexander Castiglione I’ve been on an optics bender lately. You’ve probably read some of the reviews – from pistol optics to rifle optics. And for the money, the Sparc AR by Vortex is one of the best red dots on the market. It’s sleek, it’s rugged, it’s simple to use, and it runs on... Read More

Check out the SGPT gear review for the Trijicon RMR Type 2 3.25 MOA Red Dot scope and you decide if it is good enough for your next gun. The Trijicon RM06 is pretty much the gold standard in the RMR or compact, weapon mounted red dot world. RMR, if you didn’t know, stands for... Read More

I’ve got aftermarket triggers in pretty much all my Glocks, except the full sized “duty guns” I own. And that’s for a couple reasons. First off, full size Glocks (17/21, etc) have smooth trigger faces unlike the G19 or G26 which has ridges. Also, I carry and shoot compact and subcompacts far more, so I... Read More

  Up for review today we have the Septimo – a knife designed by a combat veteran and Green Beret Jeremy Valdez. According to CRKT – it “was designed by a seasoned Green Beret to be more than a knife—he forged it of experience and created it to serve as a lifeline. One unique Veff Serration... Read More

” If you’re going to put holes in people, you better know how to close them up.” That’s something I’ve thought, and many others have as well. It’s why we have Direct Action Medical courses – to remedy that deficit in training and thinking – like the Dark Angel Medical Course.  And whether or not you carry,... Read More

Check out my personal review when using Blonyx HMB Creatine. First off – what is HMB and should you be taking creatine? HMB is a naturally occurring compound that is derived from the amino acid leucine. It is known to have anti-catabolic properties, meaning it helps reduce muscle protein breakdown, especially during intense exercise or... Read More

Everyone needs to have not only a first aid kit, but a trauma kit. Let me say that again, NOT ONLY a first aid kit, but a TRAUMA kit. First aid kits treat boo boos. Trauma kits treat bullet wounds, and other acute injuries. One of the most comprehensive and compact trauma kits I’ve seen... Read More

Check out the review for the VSSL cache canister that we have been using for camping trips and survival events. First thing out of the box the VSSL Cache Aluminum Container with Flashlight will impress you as it is built strong but lightweight with aluminum. The tube is 9 inches long and 2 inches in diameter... Read More

We love our sandbag training over here at SGPT for alot of reasons. Given the unstable nature of them, and the shifting weight inside them, every rep is like your first rep. It’s not like barbell work: symmetrical, easy to cycle, and consistent. Our website is veteran-owned and reader-supported. When you buy through our links... Read More
