Equipment

In this post, Pieter goes down another rabbit hole of support weapons you might find useful during Scenario-X. In this case, it's about the flare launcher, which could serve a bunch of other purposes you probably never considered.

Today we're looking at a pair of binoculars I've had in my possession for a bit over two months. I've been in the market for a higher end observation tool, be it a spotter or binoculars, and got a chance to look at the Maven B.5 18x56 binoculars first- and man it's a high bar to set for others. Of course, that comes with a premium cost, too. Let's get into the review.

It's no secret that I've been assembling a 22 target rifle suitable for competition and training use. I've been posting articles debating the merits of a competition 22 rifle as a stand-in for larger centerfire rifles when it comes to long-distance training and practice. Well, it's now time to throw back the curtain on what I've built.

We've talked about several individual weapons for the prepared citizen in Scenario X. Mostly. In this post, Pieter goes through a review of common priorities and advice, and introduces another concept for an individual weapon you might not have considered.

I started down the, so now let's take a formal review of the gun itself. This is my review of the B&T GHM9. We'll look at what I thought out of the box as well as what I've done to "make it mine" along the way. Buckle up, this is a long one.

I've been doing enough "serious" rifle and pistol evaluation that I've run into issues with chronograph selection. The ons I already had simply weren't cutting it for my situation. So, I did what I usually vouch against: spend some money to solve the problem. In this case, I picked up the recently-released Garmin Xero C1 Pro radar chronograph, and these are my thoughts on it so far.

Short post answering a question that comes up from time to time when I put my opinions out there: Where does a rimfire rifle (or pistol) fit into the collection of a new shooter?

This post continues our look at load carriage by focusing on more traditional load bearing equipment. Before we get into my personal setups, I want to talk a little bit about how load carrying gear evolved over time.

After hemming and hawing for months, I finally tipped over the edge to venture down the PCC rabbit hole. So I thought I'd introduce the project to you, how I ended up here, and where we're going with it.

The battle belt is a sort of modern iteration of the classic ALICE gear that served the US military from the 70s through late 90s. But there are some significant differences, particularly in the type and amount of load that the belt handles. In this post, we're going through some basic guidelines and a suggested layout for developing your own minimalist fighting kit.

In this follow up to his first article on night vision, particularly the digital variety, Pieter covers more of the basics- like mounting and aiming with your night vision devices.

For years, I've been on the hunt for my "perfect" magazine pouch, to no avail. Several things came close, but didn't quite get there. I even went so far as to start talking about custom work with gear makers. That is until a couple of months ago when Savotta put up a social media post that seemed to be the answer. Today, I'm reviewing that mag pouch, which just might be my favorite ever.
