Smith Enterprise Vortex Shorty

By on May 17, 2013 in Guns

The Smith Enterprise Vortex was the first flash suppressor that I ever purchased. At the time, nothing else could really match its flash reduction performance. I can still remember testing it during a night shoot and being in absolute awe of it. I still have that first Vortex on a semi-precision AR-15 where it performs very, very well even after who knows how many thousands of rounds. Believe it or not, this post isn’t about that first Vortex Flash Suppressor. It is about a new version that I recently came across.

Spike’s Tactical sells an exclusive Vortex Shorty! It has a shorter 1.75″ overall length compared to the original Vortex’s 2.25″ overall length. If it has similar flash suppression capability, this may be just the ticket for those who want a more compact flash suppressor.

Clever and Easy Bogota Entry Tools Hiding Spot

By on May 17, 2013 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

Here is a simple way to hide your Bogota Entry Tools on your everyday carry gear, tactical gear, or uniform. Just hide them under a Velcro backed patch. The patch keeps them secure, out of sight, and easy to access. I will admit that this is likely not the hardest to locate hiding spot but as long as you aren’t walking around peering in windows like some kind of a creep, it is probably sufficient.

Check out the selection of Bogota Entry Tools at SerePick.com and JTT partner VigilantGear.com.

The credit for this idea goes to Usual Suspect Network Administrator and all around nice guy Brian C.

Tuff-Writer – The Ultimate Titanium Clicky Pen Project

By on May 16, 2013 in EDC

I am not much of a tactical pen user. For the most part, I would just prefer to use an inexpensive steel bodied Zebra pen or something similar. However, I can appreciate a well designed writing instrument that looks great the same way I can appreciate a gorgeous custom knife and the Ultimate Titanium Clicky Pen from Tuff Writer certainly looks great.

Tuff Writer Ti Pen

Tuff Writer makes a fairly wide assortment of “tactical” pens. They are not inexpensive but I have handled several and they are very, very nice. Now they are looking for backers for a new project, their Ultimate Titanium Clicky Pen. They have a project page on KickStarter and they are already fully funded with 32 days left! In fact, they have hit nearly 3 times their goal and it is understandable because the pen looks amazing.

The Ultimate Titanium Clicky Pen features a heavy duty spring steel clip, Delrin spacers that let it take just about any ink refill available including the venerable Fisher refills, and, of course, titanium construction. JTT readers know that titanium makes everything better. It will be available with a number of different metal treatments like tumbled, satin, hand brushed, and hand polished.

Cavalry Manufacturing MK17S SCAR-H Billet Lower

Cav Arms FN SCAR 17 PMAG Lower

I have been trying to keep you up to date on the new MK17S SCAR-H Billet Lower from Cavalry Manufacturing as it moved through the development phase. Well, I am happy to report that it is now available. This billet lower receiver will accept all SR-25 pattern mags including PMAGs so that your SCAR-H can have magazine commonality with other rifles in your inventory or you can just take advantage of the better pricing, availability, and durability of the SR-25 pattern mags.

You can order direct from Cavalry Manufacturing and since the lower receiver is not the serialized part of the SCAR-H, it can be ordered without an FFL.
