No Hype, just pure performance.
Most gear looks good online, but that means nothing on the range. We don’t do "desk reviews" at Shield Tactical—we put equipment through the ringer so you know what actually works when performance matters.
For the last month, the StealthKydex Próta AIWB Holster has been our primary EDC for the CZ Shadow 2 Compact. We pushed it through daily carry, intensive live-fire drills, and high-pressure movement sessions to see if it could earn its place.

The Field Report: Exceptional Concealment: The integrated camming bar system and built-in wedge do an incredible job of pulling the grip into the body, effectively eliminating printing.
Superior Speed: Of all the AIWB holsters we’ve tested over the years, this offers the best grip space for a clean, fast purchase right from the draw.
All-Day Comfort: Smooth, rounded edges and a secure DCC Monoblock® metal clip mean you "don't even feel the holster," even during dynamic movement.
Built to Last: Proudly made in South Africa and backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

The Verdict: 100% worth the investment. This holster hasn't just survived our testing; it has earned its place as our exclusive EDC choice for the Shadow 2 Compact.

I spend a lot of time testing gear on the range, and every now and then I come across a product that quietly earns a permanent spot in my kit.

KOKEE Hydration is one of those products.

After using it for the past week during training, I've been impressed. It tastes great, mixes easily and, more importantly, it kept me hydrated and feeling fresh through long days on the range. It's also well priced, which is always a bonus.

I bought it myself, so this isn't a sponsored review. Just an honest opinion after putting it to work.

If you're looking for a hydration drink for shooting, outdoor training or any long day in the sun, it's worth a look.

Have you tried KOKEE? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Our club shoots are growing, and so is the Shield Tactical community.

Recent shoots have seen strong attendance, new shooters joining us for their first taste of practical shooting, and some great performances from our regular competitors.

But for us, the biggest success isn’t on the results sheet.

It’s the atmosphere on the range.

The Shield Tactical Club is about giving shooters a place to learn, compete, challenge themselves and become better shooters. Whether you’re interested in getting started in practical shooting or looking for a pathway into IPSC competition, you don’t need to be an experienced competitor to join us.

Everyone starts somewhere.
