One of my favorite things about Appalachian Training is that they only carry gear that they have personally used and recommend. The newest product line that they have thoroughly vetted for distribution in their webstore is Ops Core. Eventually, they will have a more complete line of Ops Core helmets but initially, they have the FAST Base Jump Helmet in stock now.

Fight and Flight Tactical GP Mini Pouch with TAREINCO Special Item Carrier
The coming together of the Fight and Flight Tactical GP Mini Pouch and the TAREINCO Special Item Carrier (SIC) was bit of a happy accident. TAREINCO recently became a dealer for Fight and Flight Tactical and found that their SIC fit the GP Mini Pouch like it was made for it.
The GP Mini Pouch is a small clamshell opening pouch that is lined with hook and loop (Velcro) and features elastic loops for some organization. The SIC is a versatile small item organizer that can hold a number of different items. Together, they make a pretty darn good looking first aid/ blow out kit pouch. The kit will also include a TAREINCO Patch Field Strip for attaching blood type and medic patches.
You can read more about both items and purchase them at a special price at TAREINCO.com. You can also check out the Fight and Flight Tactical Facebook Page and the TAREINCO Facebook Page for a chance to win a combo of your own.
Apex Tactical Specialists GLOCK Failure Resistant Extractor
This might be the most anticipated GLOCK part to come along in a long, long time. The GLOCK Failure Resistant Extractor from Apex Tactical Specialists is now available.
Due to the very public extraction/ejection/who knows what issues that GLOCK has been going through with their recent production 9mm handguns, people have been scrambling to get a once reliable handgun back up and running true to form. If you have one of these function challenged (aka unreliable) GLOCKs then you will definitely want to read what Randy from Apex Tactical Specialties has written about the issues with GLOCK extraction and how he addressed it with his Failure Resistant Extractor on M4Carbine.net.
The GLOCK Failure Resistant Extractor has already been extensively tested by numerous shooters with problem GLOCKs. The results were very promising. It is now available at the Apex Tactical Specialties website, but act fast, because the first run will likely sell out quickly.
Oakley Ballistic M-Frame 3.0 in Multicam
I am a big fan of the Oakley Ballistic M-Frames for shooting. The new 3.0 version improves on an already great product with thin stems so that they interfere as little as possible with over the ear hearing protection. Oakley has recently announced that the Ballistic M-Frame 3.0 will be available with a Multicam finish on November 1st.
If you are active duty military, reserve, federal and local law enforcement, fire, EMS or you hold military retiree credentials, you can check out the Oakley Ballistic M-Frame 3.0 on USStandardIssue.com.
NavELite Android App
NavELite didn’t forget about all you Android users. Their iPhone app has been out for a while and now the Android versions is available.
This app is designed to show you how the NavELite will function. I have already checked it out and, even though it s demo of the stand alone NavELite, it is actually a really good compass app.
The NavELite Android app is available via Google Play.
