Protect The Turtles | Ep. 8

This episode goes a little everywhere—in the best way possible. From range talk and gear to hunting, everyday life, and random stories, the guys cover a little bit of everything.

Hobbies & Hard Lessons | Ep. 7

This one’s a little different—we’re stepping off the clock and into the things we love. Hunting, fishing, golf… and of course, shooting. It’s stories from the field, the course, and the range—some hilarious, some a little wild, and a few that probably should’ve stayed between the guys… but didn’t. This is what it sounds like when the mics are on and it’s just guys being guys—talking hobbies, swapping stories, and giving each other a hard time along the way. No fluff. Just laughs, stories, and a glimpse of life outside the badge.

Then we take a closer look at Clinger Holsters and what makes them stand out when it comes to real-world carry.

Gear Dump | Ep.5

This one’s a full Gear Dump. We’re breaking down what we actually run—on the range, on duty, and in everyday life. No theory, no “Instagram loadouts”—just the gear we trust when it counts. We talk setups, what’s worth it, what’s not, and a few hard lessons learned along the way. From everyday carry to range rigs, it’s all on the table. We’re also taking a look at our Walther pistols and why they’ve earned a spot in our lineup, along with Clinger Holsters and how they hold up for real-world carry. No fluff. Just gear, experience, and what actually works.
