Rob Tackett, owner of TacStrike and long time lead instructor at a well known shooting school, has hung out his own shingle. He started Critical Carry Firearms Training in Roanoke, Virginia and his courses are already kicking off. Head over to the Critical Carry Firearms Training Facebook page (their website will be live soon) for details about upcoming courses, training tips, and more.
Ballistic Advantage is teasing their upcoming entry into the .308 AR market. With more and more .308 AR components available to the home builder, BA’s barrels will be a welcomed addition.
Bastion and Engineerable are veterans of Kickstarter. Both have successful campaigns on the popular crowdfunding platform under their belt. Their first collaboration, the CARBONEER, raised over 5 times it’s initial goal and shipped on time. I have happen to have one and I use it daily.
Bastion and Engineerable have launched a new Kickstarter campaign for another slick piece of carbon-fibery EDC goodness. The Gentleman’s Carbon Fiber Comb is machined from carbon fiber and hand finished. The comb is available in 4 styles that include a solid carbon fiber design and three different skeletonization options. It features an integrated finger loop and clip that allow you to carry it in a number of ways.
They are looking for $5000 to fully fund the project. If they can hit their $25,000 stretch goal, they will double everyone’s rewards (example: if you back the project at a 1 comb level, you will get 2 combs).
Carbon fiber makes everything better. Check out the Gentleman’s Carbon Fiber Comb Kickstarter page.
Last week we shared a project that Mil-Spec Monkey has been working on in order to find the most versatile shade of grey possible for urban environments. He recently published the second installment of the article (bottom of the page). It is a short read and worth a look.
I will be really interested to see if any manufacturers are paying attention to the Monkey’s work.
Phokus Research Group just officially opened a new web store. It is stocked with their many and varied trauma kits and there will be overrun kits offered from time to time. These over run kits are left from collaborations with “top units”.
