About

At TacAdvisor, we believe good gear decisions can save time, money, and maybe even lives.

I’m Jon, AKA 65Actual – a veteran, firearms instructor, and lifelong student of the tactical world. After years of working in retail leadership, firearms training, and gear testing, I saw the same problem over and over: people drowning in marketing hype and online opinions, struggling to figure out what actually works.

TacAdvisor is my answer.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Battle-tested reviews written from real-world experience.
  • Data-driven comparisons powered by AI that cuts through the noise.
  • Honest recommendations of gear that outperforms its cost.

We’re 100% veteran-owned and operated. Every article, review, and recommendation comes from a mix of hands-on knowledge and modern research tools. If it’s not good enough for my kit, it won’t make it into yours.

Transparency matters too. TacAdvisor runs on affiliate partnerships. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Those clicks help keep this project alive, and we appreciate every bit of support.

Whether you’re a new shooter, a prepper building your loadout, or an experienced firearms owner looking for trustworthy gear advice, you’ll find practical, straightforward guidance here.

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to the team.
