Strike Industries Ambush Sling Loop

By on March 14, 2014 in Guns

I first mentioned the prototype for what would become the Ambush Sling Loop back in October of last year. I thought it was very notable for its extremely low profile design. Since it was just a prototype picture, I hoped it would 1) go into production and 2) retain the same low profile design when if it finally did make it to production. I have good news on both counts.

The Ambush Sling Loop is now available from Strike Industries. It is extremely low profile. It is low profile enough to fit easily under extended optic mounts like those from ADM and LaRue Tactical. It is so low profile in fact that no part of it sits higher than any part of the rail it mounts on! It is made from solid steel but is still relatively light weight thanks to it’s skelotonized design. This sing mount provides both a sling loop and a QD sling swivel socket.

20$Bandit Mini Medic Kit

By on March 14, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

Nearly every mention of the 20$Bandit Mini Kit (MK-7) that I have seen makes mention of the fact that it would make a great first aid kit organizer. It makes perfect sense that 20$Bandit is releasing med kit that is purpose built for use with the Mini Kit.

The 20$Bandit Mini Medic Kit is designed to fit perfectly into the clear, vinyl pouch in the Mini Kit and contains a few essentials:

(4) Personal Antimicrobial Wipes (PAWS)
(1) Roll cloth Adhesive Tape .25″
(2) BURN JEL (single use 3.5 g)
(2) Mole Skin (Kidney)
(1) Oval Eye Pad
(1) Wound Closure Strips (modern day butterfly bandage)
(10) Sheer Strip (1″ x 3″)
(4) 3″ x 3″Sterile gauze pads
(5) Knuckle bandages
(2) Hydrocortisone 1% Cream (1.5 g)
(2) Triple Antibiotic Ointment (.9 g)
(1) Mylar Space Blanket

It should be noted that this is more of an EDC boo-boo kit than a gunshot wound treatment kit so it is not a replacement for a proper IFAK (which anyone who carries a gun should be carrying).

Complete Rifles Coming Soon from Aero Precision

By on March 13, 2014 in Guns

When I saw that Aero Precision began offering their own AR-15 barrels, I figured it was only a matter of time before they offered their own complete rifles. Not to toot my own horn, but I was right. They recently let the cat out of the bag with an image of one of their upcoming carbines that features their COP upper, lower receiver, and new M4 barrel. I will share more detailed specs when I have them.

PHLster Fightworthy TDI Sheath Update

By on March 13, 2014 in EDC, Knives

Kydex guru PHLster makes a sheath for the Ka-Bar TDI that is very popular. Demand for the sheath has outpaced his ability to produce them since their introduction. PHLster has been working to streamline production of the sheath in an effort to increase the rate at which they can be created. The good news is that they have succeeded.

PHLster Fightworthy TDI Sheath

The original sheath was foam pressed and had a curved shape to it that made it hand specific. The new version is now vacuum formed and has a flat shape that makes it ambidextrous and more user configurable. the result of these changes is a sheath that has the same level of quality but can be produced more easily. Many users are also reporting that the new flat shape is actually more comfortable too.
