ESEE News

By on October 17, 2012 in EDC, Knives, Survival

ESEE released some new photos of their upcoming stainless models. The ESEE 4 and Izula will be available in 440C stainless steel sometime in 2013. 440C is a great choice given ESEE’s commitment to keeping their knives easy to sharpen in the field. The stainless models will not be coated like the current 1095 carbon steel models.

Speaking of a lack of coating, ESEE is also currently considering releasing some uncoated versions of their 1095 steel models. If this is something that interests you, visit the ESEE forum and weigh in on the topic.

Apex Extractor in Gen 3 GLOCKs

By on October 17, 2012 in Guns

Randy Lee from Apex Tactical Specialties recently posted information about the performance of his G-FRE (GLOCK Failure Resistant Extractor). While the extractor has been a huge success in Gen 4 guns, he has been disappointed with its performance in Gen 3 guns. As a result, he has announced that he will begin work on a Gen 3 specific version of the G-FRE. You can read his thoughts on M4Carbine.net.

Not only is this great news for shooters who are struggling to get their late manufacture 9mm Gen 3 Glocks to function as reliably as they would like, but it is also a display of the type of transparency and self-evaluation that makes a company great. Check out ApexTactical.com.

The Second Amendment as a Barometer

By on October 17, 2012 in Other

It is true that we, as a community of gun owners, are often guilty of fixating on just the 2nd Amendment rather than a candidate’s view of the entire Bill of Rights. However, it is also true that the 2nd Amendment is an excellent barometer to be used to judge a candidate’s regard for the entire Bill of Rights.

Too often it seems that people do not realize that a candidate who has no qualms about encroaching on one right, will have no qualms about encroaching on others. I will never understand how the reduction, limitation, or denial of the 2nd Amendment can be viewed by some as a moral victory and not for what it is – another step toward a very, very slippery slope in which all of our rights are in danger.

There is no such thing as an anti-2nd Amendment candidate. It is time we call them what they are… Anti-Bill of Rights.

Business End Customs G26L

By on October 17, 2012 in Guns

Shooters have been “chopping” their GLOCK grips to take shorter magazines for years but it appears that Business End Customs has elevated these magazine conversions to an art form. They start with a GLOCK 19 or 23 and chop the grip short enough to take GLOCK 26 or 27 magazines (respectively). They also offer a host of other options like carry beveling, magwell cutouts, custom grip textures, refinishing, and sight installation. They top off the package with custom “G26L” laser markings.

ITS Tactical Titanium Entry Card

By on October 16, 2012 in EDC, Survival

Here is what I know. Bogota rakes are great at bypassing locks even for inexperienced users, credit cards are easy to carry, and titanium makes everything better. So, I can tell you definitively that the new Titanium Entry Card from ITS Tactical is pretty stinking cool.

The ITS Titanium Entry Card contains 2 complete sets of Entry Tool (2 triple humps, 2 single humps, and 2 tension wrenches) in an easy to carry .032″ thick credit card format. The duplicate sets mean that even after you have used a set, you will still have an additional set stored in the easy to carry credit card shape. The titanium construction means that it has no magnetic signature and resists corrosion.

You can check out the ITS Titanium Entry Card on ITSTactical.com.
