Review for
5.11 Tactical 2 Banger Magazine Pouch
I wanted I small bag for hunting to carry two extra magazines + other things like: flashlights , gloves, snacks, phone ... etc
I found I use it a lot when I go on a day hike. I'll carry a small backpack + this bag. So when I stop for lunch I'll drop my small backpack off and keep this bag on me. I'll go get firewood and water or I might need a multi-tool or something else in the bag. There is a small side strap that you can use to hold the bag to the side of you. Its so convenient. It save the bag from getting dunked into some water or dirt multiple times when I bend over to pick something up.
The should strap has a moveable padding that makes this bag very comfortable to wear. BONUS it acts like a small shoulder recoil pad.
At the end of the shoulder strap where it connects to the main bag it has a place where you can put molle attachments. I really don't attach anything to it. I found it throws the balance of the bag off and makes it move around more. On the side of the bags it has molle straps so thats where I put my molle gear.
It has three main compartments plus a small mesh pocket on the back:
- the front with a two mesh pockets
- the middle ,main, pocket with two small drain holes
- the third magazine pocket
The magazine pocket in pretty cool because you can divide the pocket so it isolate each magazine or you can not use the divide and have a bigger open pocket.
CON: The third magazine pocket doesn't have any drain wholes so if it rains it will collect wat

Thermal for Home Defense - A True 24/7 Sight

Review for
Torrey Pines Logic T12-M Mini Thermal Imager
You might have many firearms but how many of them can you use effectively 24 hours a day.
Sure you have a light on the end of your firearm for night use but what if you could have the upper hand in any and all encounters at night in your house.
I put this small thermal sight on the top rail of my AR rifle on a 45 degree pic rail next to my red dot. Much like a 45 degree iron backup sight.
When I first was unboxed it and was using it I wished the screen was 2X bigger, but the more I used it I found it to be a good size to quickly transition from the thermal to the red dot.
It also comes with a built-in reticle you can put on the screen that you can turn on or off. You can choose from a box or a chevron. I like red chevron.
You can even move the reticles up/down and left/right.
Would I use the built-in reticle to shoot something 50 yards away? NO
Would I use the built-in reticle to shoot something 15 feet away? YES
It comes with a battery but it died on me in about 30 minutes, but I had a fresh CR123 and using it for hours and still close to 100%.
Only real CON for the product is the battery cap. Its sorta flimsy. I'm always worried of cross threading it.

You can't buy more hearing once you lose it.

Review for
SureFire EP7 Sonic Defender Ultra Earplugs
I bought the other non-foam ,all rubber/silicon, Surefire Ear plugs , but come to find out my ear wholes sizes are no the same. So I bought these thinking that the foam will expand and "fill the gaps". I was right they fit like a perfect and are more effective at noise reduction.
I first I thought they were just the cheap over the counter foamy ears plugs you get at the drug store + the fancy silicon ear pieces. But I was very wrong and now are my go to ear plugs.
At first I was thinking $17 to $19 is a lot of money for foam ear plugs but just like the title of the review "You can't buy more hearing once you lose it." So if you look it like that $17 to $19 is super cheap insurance to be able to hear clearly for the rest of your life.
Which size should I pick Small , Medium or Large ?
I'm 6 feet and I use the Mediums.
My wife is 5' 5" and she uses the Mediums.
How comfortable are they? I'll rate them 9 of 10 in comfort.
Do you even know you have them in your ear? sometimes, you can leave them in for an hour or more without any discomfort at all.
Do I need the clean them if I wear them alot? Yea, Surefire recommends using them only for a few months before getting a new pair. If you use them every day for long periods of time I would use some alcohol mini wipes to wipe them down before I put them back in and get a fresh pair like Surefire says too.

Good Product for the Money
Written on Jan 04, 2017
Needed a magnifier for my red dot. I wasn't going to use the magnifier often so the Leaper fit the bill.
The quick detach lever is not the best in the world but it gets the job done.
The eye relief is about 2 inches so you do have to close to the magnifier. I would buy it again.
