21st Century Gunfighter has launched two new sites in an effort to better define their brands and the services that they have grown to offer. 21CG.us will focus on the product and apparel side of the house. Their training and professional services operation has grown to the point that it demands its own separate brand which can be found at M3-Strategies.com.
You can learn about lock bypassing by having it explained to you or by reading about it. You can learn a lot more when you can actually see it happen right in front of you. That is why the visible cutaway practice locks that ITS Tactical offers are so valuable. They let you see how your tools interact with the various components of the lock.
They recently added a Visible Cutaway Practice Handcuff to their line of available visible cutaway locks. So, whether you want to practice shimming or picking, you can see exactly what is going on inside the handcuff as you manipulate it.
Check out the Visible Cutaway Practice Handcuff at ITS Tactical.
I recently had a conversation with a friend regarding whether or not it is prudent to keep a sling on a long gun that is dedicated for home defense use. This is the long gun that you would grab immediately when you hear a “bump in the night.”
Should a home defense long gun have a sling attached to it or not? Why? Does it make a difference whether it is a shotgun or a rifle? Does your location make a difference?
I honestly haven’t given this much thought until it came up with my friend. So, now I am turning it over to you. Convince me one way or the other. This is your chance to Be Heard. Leave a comment below to join the conversation.
To sling or not to sling? That is the question.
AmmoCanStove.com makes and sells wood stoves that are made from ammo cans. Of course, you probably surmised that from their name.
These stoves look a lot better than a typical DIY project (maybe they just look better than any of my DIY projects). They utilize some pretty cleverly designed components and are reinforced to handle heat. The entire stove kit can be packed into itself along with your fire kit (it is an ammo can after all) and it still has the handle intact to keep the entire unit very portable. They also offer several accessories like baffles to prolong the life of the stove and distribute the heat, spark arresters, additional chimney sections, etc.
I was very surprised at the reasonable prices on these stoves. Ammo cans aren’t dirt cheap anymore and the stoves appear to make use of some custom manufactured parts. I would have expected the prices to be much higher than around $120 before shipping. I can already hear some of you saying “I can make on of those for $5 and some scrap metal in my basement!” Well, no you can’t. Check out the videos on the site to see what goes into these stoves. For all the time it would take to build one of these, plus the cost of the components, I think I would just rather support a craftsman in the USA than build one myself.
Check out AmmoCanStove.com for more information on all their models and accessories.
