Inspiration from a Bug Bite – The Fight and Flight Tactical TASK Story

The TASK from Flight and Flight Tactical is an absolute smash hit. Fight and Flight Tactical is selling them as fast as they can make them – maybe faster. I asked Dave Watson, head honcho at Fight and Flight Tactical, about it and he let me in on the back story which is a bit different from most that you hear in this industry.

Fight and Flight TASK

The TASK wasn’t the result of a special operations small unit purchase. It wasn’t the result of some kind of military funded study on the effectiveness spacer mesh on the exfoliation of dead skin cells. No, it was the result of a bug bite.

Dave had a mosquito bite that he had already scratched until it was raw. So, to scratch another, he grabbed a scrap of mesh in his shop. The moment he used it inspiration hit like a fifty caliber projectile. The TASK was born shortly after.

I told Dave he needed more bug bites and he informed me that he had plenty from working in his garden. It sounds like Fight and Flight Tactical won’t run out of inspiration any time soon.

Legion Firearms SITREP

Legion Firearms

The supply lines are starting to open up, but in many ways the industry is still reeling from the panic buying that took place in the early part of this year. Some parts, like magazines are becoming easy to find while others, like quality “mil-spec” bolt carrier groups remain in short supply. There have been scattered reports of declining quality control as companies try to ramp up to meet demand. In spite of all of that, there are still companies out there who are refusing to rush an inferior product out the door. Check out this recent statement from Legion Firearms:

I can appreciate this type of honesty and transparency, and I think it highlights the position that a lot of the industry is in right now. Manufacturers who don’t make all their parts in house are stuck waiting for quality components just like you. So, have some patience, quality is worth the wait.

Red Tac Gear 1/2 Pint Bean Bag

Sometimes smaller is better. The Red Tac Gear 1/2 Pint Bean Bag has all the functionality of a larger precision shooting bean bag but it is very compact and easy to carry (4″x3″, 1 lb). Like all Red Tac Gear bags, it uses poly fill “bean” so they won’t hold water or rot. These are available at OC Tactical in some exclusive colors like the Kryptek and A-TACS camo patterns.

SAR Global Tool Mjölnir from Tyr Group LLC

SAR Global Tool‘s latest creation, the Mjölnir, will be available from Tyr Group LLC today. The Mjölnir is a discreet, defensive impact weapon that looks more like an artsy pendant than a face rearrangement device. There are very few of these available in this initial run so act fast.
