Save someone's life from bleeding out with our first aid kit trauma kit.

Being a dad has made me paranoid! Seriously I find myself daydreaming about such random bad things that could happen to me, my wife or my kids and I have no idea why!

Anyway, it gave me enough drive to create a first aid kit and a first aid trauma kit to put my mind at a little more ease knowing if something did happen we can handle it until medical services and professionals get to us.

Check out our first aid trauma kit here if you realize you don't actually have anything to be prepared: https://a.co/d/dZ0BS6I

Thanks, Matt

Unpacking the Military Gear Arsenal: A Deeper Look into Tactical Gear and Ammunition Loadouts.

A recentl became friends through golf, with a guy who served in the miltary and was in a specialised hiugh mechanised unit. These units were typically called in to blow things up and flatten areas for infantry men.

Anthony was the communications guy but still had to be geared up with an m4, side arm and enough ammo to contribute to a potential threat.

Here we talk a little about what he used to have to wear on a standard operation and as standard procedure.

Enjoy.

I'm diving way more into ammunition than I ever thought I would and became very interested in popular handgun cartridges. Here I share just some of the differences between the 9mm and the .40 S&W, which to be honest isn't a whole lot.

Get to Know Your Ammo: A Basic Guide to 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP

So Ill stick to my 9mm ammo for stock piling and ill go have some fun with the .45ACP haha

  1. 9mm: The 9mm is a popular cartridge for handguns due to its low recoil and high magazine capacity. It is an excellent choice for target shooting and self-defense, and is widely available and affordable.
  2. .40 S&W: The .40 S&W was developed in the 1980s as a compromise between the 9mm and .45 ACP cartridges. It offers a balance of stopping power and recoil, making it a good choice for self-defense and law enforcement applications.
  3. .45 ACP: The .45 ACP is a large, heavy cartridge known for its stopping power and terminal ballistics. It is a popular choice for self-defense, law enforcement, and military applications, but has more recoil and lower magazine capacity than other handgun cartridges.

It's important to note that there are many other handgun cartridges available, and the choice between them often comes down to personal preference and the intended use of the firearm. Beginners should seek advice from experienced gun owners or firearms professionals before making a decision on which cartridge to use.

Tactical Gear 101: A Beginner's Guide for Civilians

I LOVE having tactical gear everywhere for my everyday lifestyle now!

So before I was into tactical gear I would always need something like a better backpack, more compartments, multitool, knife or first aid things at some point throughout most days. Whether one of those items or not I always needed something that the world of tactical gear covered anyway. 

Anyway here are just a few items that would help for personal protection and outdoor activities such as hiking, walking or camping.

So many more to talk about in the future,

Have a great day,

Expert tips for controlling your gun & the arc of movement with your gun With OSS Tactical

An aspect of shooting that many (including me prior to this) don't even consider is the movement we will have naturally as we hold a pistol and pull the trigger. We are not robots, or machines, we are human beings with a pulse so it is natural for us to have a slight movement that translates into a dispersion of shots that increases the further away from the target we are. 

Example: Shooting at 3 feet the dispersion of shots is going to be pretty tight, but the same movement from 25 feet will translate into a much bigger dispersion of shots. 

Thanks for listening, 

Matthew

The Best Defense is Good Gear: How to Choose Quality Tactical Gun Accessories.

If your life or someone else's life is in the equation then don't back out of buying quality gear. And that doesn't mean the most expensive, that means the best quality that holds up. Name brands are a good start, if you consider a new brand make sure they are transparent and actively sharing their products benefits, uses, instructional videos and purpose so you can see it before you are relying on it.

We are not a name brand, but we share everything, and show everything to give complete transparency.

The best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China. The Complete Guide to Choosing a Gun Belt for Concealed Carry and Everyday Use.

It pains me to say this but some of the biggest and best gun belt brands are manufacturing in China, and the quality is undoubtably of a super high standard. Now I get it, made in America is a great marketing strategy and a great strategy overall but it doesn't always mean the quality is high. In fact think about your iPhone and where that is made? Its made in China because it is made extremely well there. The same is said for nylon products, and gun belts; with the right manufacturer in China you can get an unbelievably high quality nylon gun belt construction. And that is just what the likes of Kore Essentials and Nexbelt have done, and it is what we have done too. 


I will always support those who make in America and will never bash them because it is a great thing, I just believe that the masses of folks that need a gun belt for concealed carry or everyday work use can't afford a $70-$100 belt. And if they are spending that they don't want to put it through the stress tests of everyday life.

Inside the Barrel: Exploring the Basics of Gun Bore and Rifling.

As I have said in the past, it is important to know the parts of your guns or at least the major parts. I still don't know all the small pieces that make up a rifle, but I do know the basics. 

The barrel, the bore are something to understand as it can be a serious issue if you try to use the wrong caliber for what the barrel is capable of handling.

When learning about the barrel and bore you'll come across rifling so I touch on what that is exactly, but not much further as I do not know much more about it yet.
