    The size of this pack is great for an EDC pack, it holds most everything you will need.  As far as a concealed carry pack it works perfect for that.  With the Rapid Access Tab, it is easy to get to your weapon and I like that design.

    What I Would Change About This Product:

    They do not have a left – handed design!  You put the strap over your left shoulder and then access your weapon with your left hand. I like the strap on my right shoulder and then accessing your weapon with your left hand.

    Final Remarks:

    The Vertx Transit Sling Pack is a very nice pack and the perfect size for an EDC pack. If you are a right-handed shooter, this pack works excellent.  If you are a left-handed shooter it might not be perfect but you can adapt to this pack and make it work.  I would recommend this pack for left or right handers.

                  OXPHO BLUE LIQUID GUN BLUE

                  Product Review

                  What an awesome product

                  Product: Oxpho Blue Liquid Gun Blue 4oz.

                  Price: $14.99

                  Durability: High

                  Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon,com

                  My Overall Rating: 9.5

                  Quick Product Overview:

                  The Oxpho Blue Liquid, a gun bluing solution used to impart a protective blue-black finish on gun parts. Originally developed for the occasional bluer who is not equipped to completely polish a gun prior to bluing, Oxpho Blue – because of its ease of application and remarkably superior results – has become a favorite of the professional gunsmith as well. The chemical goes through the oil on the gun, removes thin rust and blues the steel underneath. No after-rust. For looks, the final finish was not intended to approach the beauty of the well-polished, hot-blued gun but it is very close.

                  Specifications Of This Product:

                  What I Like About This Product

                  I have tried other brands of bluing and they have not worked for me.  But this one worked great for me. I looked on YouTube as saw some videos about cold bluing prior to using this product, and many of them were about this specific product and they mentioned the best way to apply this product. The key is to use 0000 steel wool to lightly texture the surface and then to use it on the final coat to smooth out the final appearance of the bluing.

                  The first step is to degrease the surface using isopropyl alcohol, then use 0000 steel wool on that area to be blued.  Then use a Q-tip or cotton swab to apply the Oxpho Blue Liquid to the area needing bluing.  Make sure to put 2 o3 coats of the solution on to darken the blue color, Each new coat should be a new Q-tip so you do not contaminate the solution.  Take your steel wool and lightly rub the treated area to smooth-out the color. Then let the solution have some time to react with the metal surface.  Next wipe the area down with a towel and some water to neutralize the liquid.  Lastly, get a cotton patch and wipe the area down with some gun oil, be liberal with the oils and let it soak for a while. The result is a deep blue-black finish that is highly durable and long-lasting.  If it is not dark enough then repeat the process.

                  So after all that, what I like about this product is the end result, it worked great and looks fantastic. Yes it takes some work but if you follow these steps you will have some great results.

                  What I Would Change About This Product:

                  Not a thing!

                  Final Remarks:

                  So you might ask why I am reviewing gun bluing solution?  If you have a firearm as part of your everyday carry items then you may have areas on your handgun finish that has been rubbed off due to holster wear. For this reason, this product is therefore critical. If you are like me, you like your handguns to look nice and without worn spots of finish gone. So I highly recommend this product, but please keep in mind not all metal react the same ways, some take the bluing easily and some do not.  If you try this product and do not get good result please contact me and let’s talk.

                    RAISEEK GUN CLEANING ROD

                    Product Review

                    Nice One Piece Cleaning Rod

                    Product: Raiseek Gun Cleaning Rod

                    Price: $30.99

                    Durability: Very High

                    Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

                    My Overall Rating: 9.0

                    Quick Product Overview:

                    • The ergonomically designed handle is a comfortable fit in your hand. Handle is the right size for a good grip and control
                    • The carbon fiber that is superior to other material would not scratch or damage the barrel. The carbon fiber shaft allows the rod to flex or bend slightly and pop right back in shape
                    • This single piece gun cleaning rod has a convenient hanging hole in the handle. It comes with a tube with the cap for storage
                    • The bearings rotate smoothly while pushing a brush or jag through barrel. The 2 ball bearings in the handle make cleaning smooth and accurate. It spins freely to allow the rod to follow the rifling
                    • Carbon fiber is light, strong and rigid. The threads are precise making brushes and jags to easily be threaded on and off

                    Specifications Of This Product:

                    • One Piece Carbon Fiber Rod
                    • 36″ long and 6mm in diameter
                    • .27 – .45 caliber

                    What I Like About This Product:

                    This gun cleaning rod is light weight and strong and works great.  The swivel in the handle also is a big plus and this aids in it following the rifling. the threads on the end fit all my jags so I do not have to buy new ones. 

                    What I Would Change About This Product:

                    Nothing right now.

                    Final Remarks:

                    The Raiseek gun cleaning rod is an excellent product, it is more reasonably priced then most on the market and really works well.  With the smooth coating on the outside it is not necessary to use a bore protector and that is a big plus.  I highly recommend this product.
