The Protos-M Holster from Black Arch Holsters will now feature a custom clip that they developed in conjunction with TacWare. The clip is a major part of the Protos-M’s functionality as it allows for adjustable ride height and cant while also being tuckable and adding nothing to the width of the holster. This is the clip that will be provided for the single clip configuration of the Protos-M (and the complete box set).
The TOPS Tibo is available with a red finish exclusively from Red Hill Sheaths. They currently have a limited supply of these knives paired with carbon fiber finished sheaths. Visit the Red Hill Sheaths website or their Facebook page to contact them directly for more information.

Direct Action is showing off their new, updated version of the Dragon Egg Backpack – the Dragon Egg MKII.
Direct Action gear’s ‘Dragon Egg®’ backpack has been one of the best sellers in the company’s so-called “Legacy Line”. But never being ones to sit on their laurels, the company recently announced an upgraded version. That upgraded, MKII version is now available for sale in a variety of solid colors and can be purchased today through the company’s US and European / International online store.
The Dragon Egg MKII® is 25+ liter capacity backpack designed to fulfill the needs of an LE or military patrol pack, as well as serving the hunting, hiking or EDC user as well. The pack features two hydration bladder pockets – one in the main compartment and additional in the zipped back part. The rear pocket, thanks to a padded sleeve, can be used for safely carrying a multi-band radio, or a notebook, laptop or tablet PC (up to a 15’’ screen).
The MKII version also features redesigned side pockets that have been enlarged to better accommodate 1L Nalgene bottles. Another change to the side pockets is the removal of the zipper to expand them – they are now equipped with elastic for expansion.
Like all products in the Direct Action portfolio, the Dragon Egg MKII® is made from top-quality components – such as Cordura® fabrics, YKK® zippers, and Duraflex® buckles – and incorporates cutting-edge features like laser-cut PALS compatible panels. The Dragon Egg® also incorporates the patented Combat Vent System® – an innovative ventilation system that provides increased comfort for the user. Made of contoured foam pieces with multiple air channels encased in highly breathable mesh fabric , the Combat Vent System® keeps the pack off the back. This enhances air circulation preventing heat build-up and sweating, while the stiff foam ensures comfort and stability.
The Dragon Egg MKII® is available in Adaptive Green, Black, Coyote Brown, Olive Green, Shadow Grey – and is in stock and available to order now at Direct Action’s US / North America online store and at the Europe / International online store.
September is here and that means it’s time to look back at August User’s Choice Build. Gunstruction compiles the most popular parts from each category in their virtual AR building tool into a single User’s Choice Build every month. These builds are always an interesting look into consumer trends since Gunstruction’s user base and parts selection are fairly broad.
This month features many of the same parts that have featured heavily in previous builds including EOTech optics and a Magpul grip and stock. The Troy Industries 7″ Bravo Rail and Magpul AFG are also becoming fixtures of these builds. It is also interesting that these builds have features a standard front sight base since March of this year while much of the industries seems to be moving toward low profile gas blocks.
