By on June 5, 2014 in EDC, Guns

The S&W Shield that we should have received in the first place is about to be bestowed upon us! The new Shield model 10035 will be identical to the current Shield save for one important feature – or lack there of… It will not have a thumb safety!

This is good news for those who have waited and still pretty good news for those who have a Shield with a safety. It is the best news for all 5 of you out there who want the thumb safety because there is about to be a ton of Shields with safeties on the secondary market.

These will start shipping in mid-June.

Head On Tactical Battle Rig and Honey Badger Rig

By on June 4, 2014 in Tactical Gear

Head On Tactical has introduced two new chest rigs – the Battle Rig and the Honey Badger Rig. The two chest rigs are similar in that they both have “X” harnesses, integrated flap and buckle secured pistol mag pouches, an integrated GP/IFAK pouch, and a map pocket in the body of the rig. They differ in the configuration of their magazines pouches.

The Battle Rig has 3 double M4 magazine pouches (3 pouches x 2 mags per pouch = 6 mags). The pouches are secured with flaps and have bungee cord compression straps to help keep single mags from moving too much.

The Honey Badger rig has 4 open top magazine pouches. Each pouch can hold a single M4 or AK magazine and is secured with a bungee retainer. The interior of the mag pouches has loop material so that magazines can be retained by sticking a small piece of hook material to the magazine or kydex inserts made be used.

Check out both new rigs at Head On Tactical.

ROSCH Works WL1 Available Soon

By on June 4, 2014 in EDC, Flashlights, Guns

The ROSCH Works WL1 will be available soon. The WL1 is essentially a stand-alone version of the SL1. It utilizes the same head and tailcap with straight tube body rather than the SL1’s integrated front sight and mount. Since it shares the same head, it also shares the same specs (250 lumens, 50 minute runtime).

The new straight body will open up a new world of possibilities for the WL1. It is designed to be the perfect compliment to the recently reviewed SLM1 light mount and could also serve as a compact EDC light. ROSCH Works tells us we can expect to see additional accessories to expand the capabilities of the WL1 soon.

Peters Custom Holsters Pocket Protector

By on June 3, 2014 in EDC, Guns

Rob Tackett of TacStrike and PFT worked with Peters Custom Holsters to develop the Pocket Protector – a kydex pocket holster for the Glock 42 and other pocketable handguns. The holster features an extremely minimalist design to minimize bulk. The bottom of the Pocket Protector is flat so that the handgun stays upright in your pocket and it has a large hook that is used to catch the holster on your pocket during the draw stroke.

The Pocket Protector will be available soon at Peters Custom Holsters.
