Trinity Force sent me another optic to take a look at. This is their 1-4x28mm scope with a small-cross reticle.

Schrade Professionals Handcuff Key (SCKEY)
I recently realized that the keys for my handcuffs had been lost or misplaced in one of my moves years back and decided to get a new key so I wouldn’t have to keep picking them with a paperclip.
A quick look on Amazon brought me to the Schrade Professionals Handcuff Key (SCKEY).
Trinity Force P4 Refresh
We first took a look at the Trinity Force P4 Sniper optic back in July, 2014. While we liked it, especially for the price, there were a few things that could use some improvement.
Trinity Force sent us out an updated optic (with a different reticle) that has few updates. I wish this optic had the same reticle, but, part of the improvement is the new reticle has cleaner illumination… More on that shortly.

Gun Maintenance: Breakthrough Solvent
Cleaning your guns… Some people clean their guns every time they use them, others don’t know what cleaning their guns means. There is a lot of gray area in between those two extremes, but think about where you fall on the scale.
I try to clean my guns after every use; I like my guns to be clean. It’s how I was taught to take care of my guns, and it’s how I still take care of my guns. Now, that doesn’t mean I take them completely apart and bust out my tooth brush and polish every single part, but I run a swab or 3 down the barrel, wipe down the major dirty parts, get as much grime, brass and lead fouling off of the gun as possible and then lubricate all of the major friction points.
Recently, I was introduced to Breakthrough® clean, a “Military Grade” cleaning solvent.

Review: UM3 Pistol Sight Mount and Holster
Have you ever wanted to mount a red-dot optic on your pistol but didn’t want to send your slide in to be milled? Well, now you can attach a red-dot with a 1913 rail mount to most pistols with a front attachment rail (a 1913 style front rail or similar), such as most Glock models, various Springfield XD models, many Smith & Wesson M&P models, as well as many others with the UM Tactical, UM3 sight mount.
Review: Mountainsmith Parallax Camera Backpack
I’ve been wanting a camera backpack to carry my camera equipment for quite some time. The over the shoulder bag (Tamrac System 6) that I have been using works well, but, it gets a little annoying and uncomfortable on long treks. It’s served me well for going on 3 years now, but for longer travel, more involved hiking, etc. I wanted something more comfortable that allowed me to transport a little more.
After doing a fair amount of research and checking out multiple bags in local retailers I zeroed in on the Parallax bag by Mountainsmith.
I picked mine up from backcountry.com. They have awesome customer service and good pricing, check them out.
