Tactical Link PDW Grip

Tactical Link is rolling out a new grip designed specifically for use on PDW style AR-15s. Like any other grip with a more vertical grip angle, many shooters can find it to be more comfortable on any AR-15 – not just those with shorter stocks.

From Tactical Link:

The PDW Grip is a drop-in upgrade for AR style rifles with a more vertical angle, optimized for short LOP (length of pull) personal defense weapons (PDW), bringing the primary hand in closer to the shooter’s body, encouraging a more natural “elbows in” shooting posture which substantially reduces wrist fatigue and is concurrent with modern shooting doctrine.

Made to the finest standards from an extremely durable fiber-reinforced polymer, the PDW Grip is the result of extensive professional shooter feedback and engineering excellence that has produced one of the finest shooting upgrades in the market today. The PDW Grip sports a patent pending design with “zones” of moderately aggressive surface texture to provide unmatched gripping properties for positive weapon control in all environments.

The PDW Grip is compatible with most lower receiver mounting platforms (forged or billet) and provides improved biomechanics to better align the trigger finger for a more comfortable and direct rearward trigger pull. Due to its hollow core design (no internal storage), the PDW Grip weighs only 2.1 oz and since the PDW Grip is a drop-in upgrade it is sold without a grip screw.

Shooter Refined Ergonomics: at 14 degrees, the PDW Grip is 235% (19 degrees) more vertical than the standard A2 grip and is the most comfortable and relaxing grip on the marketplace. Places the hand’s flexor muscles on more of the same plane creating a more natural hand position for a more natural hand position with little to no fatigue even during prolonged use.

Optimized Biomechanics: small beavertail backstrap provides enhanced ergonomics and allows the operator’s hand to ride high on the grip for improved recoil management and fire control.

Tactile Gripping Texture: much more aggressive texture than most other grips on the marketplace. “Zones” of more aggressive anti-slip texturing on the palm panels for excellent gripping properties and for positive weapon control in all environments.

Features:

  • All edges rounded for operator comfort
  • Reinforced beaver tail for extra rigidity
  • Aggressive PSP (Pentagonal Surface Projections) Texture on both palm panels for superior weapon control
  • Grooves on the front and rear backstraps for optimal anti-slip surface and excellent gripping properties
  • Accommodates the “seam” commonly found on the beaver tail of forged lower receivers
  • Unique trigger guard design provides a very comfortable, and absolutely the best fit at the trigger guard area of any grip on the market
  • Grip “pulls” the operator’s hand forward into the grip for a more positive grip and better operational control of the weapon
  • Robust design easily exceeds industry standards for quality, strength and durability
  • 100% made in USA

Spirit of Blue Tourniquet Project

Spirit of Blue is teaming with North American Rescue to put life saving tourniquets in the hands of police officers around the country.

Banner_728x90

Spirit of Blue is launching the Tourniquet Project with the goal of granting 500 tourniquets to police officers across the country who are in need of one.  With every $30 donation, Spirit of Blue will grant one C-A-T Tourniquet from North American Rescue.  Tourniquets have proven to be one of the most affordable and effective lifesaving tools on the modern battlefield and the potential for them to protect the lives of law enforcement officers is just as great, though access to them pales to that of in the military.  So, we aim to get 500 new tourniquets into the hands of officers before the end of the year and then grow this program consistently over time.

Check out the Spirit of Blue Tourniquet Project.

Austere Provisions Company CORE Panel

It’s been a long time since I wrote about the CORE Panel from Austere Provisions Company (APC) but they recently released a new promo image that jogged my memory on this versatile piece of kit. The CORE Panel is made for APC by Blue Force Gear (BFG) from BFG’s proprietary ULTRAcomp material and using their MOLLEminus technology.

APC Core Panel

It is called a “panel” but it can also be opened up like a bag. You can attach MOLLE compatible pouches to nearly every surface of the CORE Panel. It can also accept straps and buckles along its perimeter. The simple design and versatile attachment points allow it to function as a go bag, med kit, bandoleer, or even an improvised chest rig. I have even used it as an expansion panel for a larger backpack.

You can check out our previous review of the CORE Panel for more information or visit the Austere Provisions Company website.
