We all learned how to tie our shoes at some point in our lives. It probably wasn’t long after that moment that we also learned that the regular method used to tie shoes is not sufficient for many activities which is why you learned to double knot your laces. Well, if you are like me, you learned the wrong way.
I recently showed Ivan at Kit Badger a different way to double knot – one that holds as tight (if not tighter) but can still be untied the same way as a regular bow. Someone taught me this years ago and when I showed Ivan, he was skeptical but it only takes one trip up a mountain to make a believer.
Remember the old the days of building up the switch on your Surefire X-series weapon light with JB Weld to make it easier and more consistent to access? There is now a better way thanks to the PHLster and the new ARC Enhanced WML Switches.
These polymer switches are drop in replacements for the OEM switches found on Surefire’s X300U (A/B/V), X400U (H, RD, GN), XH30, XH35, and XLV2. Each set comes with 3 different size switches all of which are larger than the original: L, XL, and a blank XL for uses who wish to add their own texture or shaping.

Tyrant Designs CNC introduces a new chapter in compensator history with the addition to their first series production for the Sig Sauer P365, their SIG P365 T-Comp Compensator. Images and details of their P365 compensator can be seen on their website www.tyrantcnc.com. This new model is extreme on every level as it represents a new direction for compensator design. Utilizing a two piece design Tyrant has eliminated the need for set screws or loctite, instead using a housing & stem concept that is self containing.
During an up close look of the compensator one can tell the use of dual chambers that run .250” in depth. Overall dimensions line up perfectly to the profile of the P365, adding about .750 of an inch past the end of the slide.
The Tyrant Designs P365 T-Comp is also the first compensator made specifically for the Sig P365, promising unparalleled performance against the more traditional & one size fits most comps. Their product description reads as below;
The Tyrant Designs CNC Sig Sauer P365 Compensator, known as the P365 T-Comp, dramatically reduces muzzle rise and sensed recoil, allowing much quicker target re-acquisition. Compatible with ½-28 threaded barrels our compensator requires no modification to your Sig P365, and once assembled fits most open ended holsters. The T-Comp works on all Sig P365 configurations and will function using almost any grain ammunition.
The real enginuity is in how the T-Comp is installed. Utilizing a two piece design our Sig comp installs securely in seconds WITHOUT the need for set screws or any other faulty attachment methods. Working on a concept focused on uncompromised innovation allowed considerable engineering freedom in developing significant solutions. Once attached, the Tyrant Compensator will not come loose while operating your firearm, or while holstering/unholstering it. Whether you are a range day goer or competitive shooter we are confident our Sig Sauer compensator not only outperforms the competition but sets a new standard for compensator innovation.
Tyrant Designs offers their new Sig Sauer P365 compensator in 3 different, two tone colors: Black on Black, Black on Nickel, Black on Gold. They have stated that their first production run is limited and that all dealer allocations have been filled. To see more head to www.tyrantcnc.com
At just 1″ x 2.5″ x .5″, the Nitecore TIP2 may be small but it boasts a ton of features and impressive output. It is small enough to serve as a keychain light but bright enough to do real work.
It can provide up to 720 lumens of light thanks to two Cree XP-G3 S3 emitters mounted behind TIR lenses. It also has 200, 30, and 1 lumen settings. Runtimes range from 15 minutes for the turbo mode all the way to 55 hours for the 1 lumen mode and all that power is provided by a rechargable Li-ion battery.
The TIP2 features a lanyard/key attachment that is held onto 1 piece CNC machined body of the light via strong neodymium magnets allowing it to be quickly removed from the keychain or lanyard for handheld use. This also allows the light to be mounted on any ferrous surface for hands-free use.
I am just scratching the surface of the features and potential applications for this light. You can check it out at Nitecore.com.
For years, the Fieldcraft by Brothers of Bushcraft (aka BOB, aka BROS) has been a top selling model for TOPS. It’s a great all-around mid-sized knife for bushcrafting, survival, and more. Of course, many people have asked for larger and smaller versions of the knife for different reasons. This was the driving force behind the Fieldcraft 3.5. Its blade length is slightly over 3.5”, which is the sweet spot for many people in small camp knives, EDC fixed blades, and hunting knives for small game, fish, and fowl. You’ll be glad you picked this one up.
