Gerber Shard Review

Many times, I have found myself in a situation where I lack the correct tool for the task. The issue could be as simple as popping the cap of a beer bottle, or as important as tightening the screw on a weapon light. It doesnt take many of these instances before you search for a solution. My solution was the Gerber Shard. Continue reading Gerber Shard Review

Olight Baldr PL-2RL Weapon Light with Red Laser

Olight sent me one of their new Baldr PL-2RL weapon light to review. When I am outfitting a full-size handgun for defensive use, I will usually select a Surefire weapon light. They are durable and they have outstanding customer service. However, that does come at a significant cost.

I believe in spending money for quality equipment. That does not necessarily mean that you should go without if you don’t have a large budget. The Olight PL2-RL is an affordable option.

I don’t find lasers to be very useful on a defensive handgun. They can be useful for SWAT Officers carrying a shield. They may be useful for shooters with some vision problems. Outside of those situations, I prefer standard iron sights or a red dot optic. The PL-2RL is available without the laser, as the PL-2 Valkyrie.

Weaponlight Carbon Solution

If you train with firearms, cleaning them is a fact of life. There are few firearms cleaning tasks that are less enjoyable than removing the caked up carbon from your weaponlight.

Removing the weaponlight before training is a simple solution. However a weaponlight can alter the way a firearm handles. It can also affect how the handgun fits in a holster. If you carry a weaponlight, you should train with your weaponlight attached. That begs the question, how do you prevent the mess?

There are several products on the market to address the problem. Most take the form of stickers or lens caps. All of them cost money. Thankfully, you probably already have something in your range bag that can solve the problem. Continue reading Weaponlight Carbon Solution
