Happy 3d Anniversary

We almost missed it getting ready to head to SOFIC in Tampa, Florida. Interestingly enough, that’s where we got our new start in 2008 publishing some of our first articles on that show. We just get so busy around here that time seems to fly. This wasn’t our first go around in the tactical website game. We actually have our humble beginnings in The Gear Guru-Equipment for the Armed Professional founded in 1997. One of these days we’ll have to tell you all about that.

So here’s to three years of publishing seven days a week here at SSD. With over 2800 articles, we’ve covered a lot. Make sure you take some time to go back and read some of those old articles. There’s are some real gems in there. For example, here’s our first.

Thanks to our readers and advertising sponsors for supporting us. We wouldn’t be here without you.
