Coming Soon: Magpul CORE Flight Glove

By on November 16, 2015 in Tactical Gear

Plain old Nomex flight gloves are some of my all-time favorite shooting gloves. They provide good dexterity, can be made to have a very tight fit, and they last a surprisingly long time. Now Magpul is set to put their own spin on the classic flight glove with their upcoming Magpul CORE Flight Glove.

  • Constructed with flame and heat-resistant Nomex®
  • Three-finger touchscreen capability
  • Gauntlet coverage extends past the wrist
  • Excellent flexibility and dexterity
  • Subdued branding

The new Magpul CORE Flight Gloves will be available soon. Check them out on Magpul.com.

Dueck Defense DFR Glock Rear Sight

By on November 16, 2015 in Guns

The Dueck Fixed Fear (DFR) is the latest product to be released by Dueck Defense. This Glock compatible rear sight features a rear sight notch that is 20% deeper than typical sights which Dueck Defense claims gives “your eye a longer window of light but still narrow enough for precise aiming.”

The DFR also has a clever hooked design that makes it easier to operate with one hand by hooking the sight on your belt or holster. There are other hooked sights on the market but Dueck Defense has gone to great lengths to completely remove the sharp edges that would typically be found on such sights.

The DFR is available separately or bundled with various front sight options. Check out DueckDefense.com.

DB Customs is designing a knuck that will really make a mark… I feel pretty confident in saying that this is the finest knuck ever created.

It is definitely worth spending a minute or two scrolling through the Instagram page but don’t forget your drool napkin.

Vickers Guide: 1911

By on November 13, 2015 in Guns

To say that Larry Vickers knows 1911s is an understatement. He knows their history, their mechanics, their operation, their application, the people who make them, and the people who collect them. There may not be anyone living who can speak with more authority on the 1911 and that is what makes his newest book, Vickers Guide: 1911, so exciting.

This is a proper coffee table book. It is chocked full of a amazing photography, technical data, and historical context for some truly rare 1911s. All of this is wrapped up in a package that conveys the permanence, status, and weight of the 1911 itself.

If you are even the least bit interesting in 1911s, you need to check out this book at VickersGuide.com.

By on November 12, 2015 in EDC, Guns

Now for something completely different… Magpul is now shipping the Tejas Gun Belt “El Original”.

Magpul Tejas Gun Belt

The Tejas Gun Belt “El Original” may seem out of character for Magpul but, when you check out the details, it is clear that Magpul did Magpul things all over this belt. The belt is constructed from top grade bullhide leather with polymer reinforcement. The layers of leather and polymer are bonded via adhesive and sewn together for durability. The belt features very cool custom hardware that allows the user to change the buckle without tools. It is available in 3 colors.

Magpul’s website indicates that this is the first in a line of belts so stay tuned.

Features:

  • Top grade bullhide leather exterior layer and supportive but flexible reinforced polymer interior
  • Gun belt rigidity with dress belt comfort offers stretch and sag free performance
  • Removable chrome plated buckle with branded “tool-free” fasteners
  • Standard 1-1/2″ wide and 1/4″ thick to fit most belt loops and holsters
