Our Facebook followers got this information earlier today. If you haven’t already head over to https://www.facebook.com/everdaytacticool and give us a “like”. Yesterday we had a very successful CQB match. Thanks to all the shooters who came out to give it a go, especially our veteran shooters.  There were lots of regular faces from and some folks that were new to the sport. The match couldn’t have run much better. Ok a little better, we didn’t ask for the cold and the rain, but it was service conditions event and most of the shooters were not fazed by the poor weather in the afternoon.  Continue reading →

Striker II GTX Uniform Boots Review

Danner, a company that does one thing really, really, well. In my never-ending quest to try every kind of boot on the planet I picked up a pair of Danner Striker™ II GTX Uniform Boots. This pair of Striker IIs are an 8″, waterproof, side-zippered, imported, leather and nylon boot. After having some water resistance issues with my 5.11 Speed boots I was looking for something a little closer to a traditional combat boot, with waterproof-ness for fall and spring wear.

Tactical Tailor Admin Pouch Enhanced Review

How do you keep your mission essential kit accessible without sacrificing space?

EDC items normally find a home in a pocket or on the belt which is great for day to day. When running a battle belt, access to your pockets and pants belt is limited at best. I run a battle belt and chest rig at Service Conditions matches and still need carry some small but important items with me.

5.11 Tactical Speed Boot Review

5.11 makes some great high quality gear – like their pants – and some lesser quality gear. The 5.11 Tactical Speed 8″ Boot falls closer to the lesser quality end of the gear spectrum. The Speed Boot has a polishable leather toe, a nylon upper, and an oil and slip resistant outsole. Having had these boots for a year I have had an opportunity to really abuse test them.

Recently I joined Bryan to talk about CQB for a full episode on the Canadian Service Conditions Radio podcast. We talked a bit about my experiences with CQB and the upcoming match at Guelph Rod and Gun Club on October 19th. Bryan also sits down with Chuck and answer questions on getting started in CQB and Tim shows up…finally, and talks about his new pistol and curious reasons to not install an expensive match trigger after you buy it.
