SHOT Show E&E Kit from SerePick

By on January 13, 2014 in EDC, Survival

Oh no! You’re pinned down by a talkative product rep who is bending your ear about how awesome the Taurus Judge is. Its time to put your SHOT Show E&E plan into action and this SHOT Show exclusive, custom kit from SerePick just might help (if the Taurus rep has physically restrained you in some way which I doubt they would, but still… you never know).

This kit will only be available at the SHOT Show and you are going to have to track down Matt at SerePick to get one. They will cost $50 or you can potentially barter for them (I suggest good bourbon or maybe comfortable walking shoes, those would be worth a mint on the show floor).

SerePick SHOT Show Kit

The kit consists of a compact plastic case and several other useful items…

  • Bogota Nano Entry Toolset
  • Quick Stick X2
  • EZ Decoder X2
  • Polymer Universal Handcuff Key X2
  • Steel Split Pawl Handcuff Shim X2
  • Glue Dots X2

You will have to add your own pocket change because the dime in the photo is just there for scale. This kit is tiny.

BladeBombLogoOn Jerking the Trigger, I have always tried to shine a light on small businesses who are doing innovative and noteworthy things in the realm of firearms and tactical gear. My goal is to do the same thing for the knife industry with my new site, BladeBomb.com.

Blade Bomb is going to be a clearinghouse for news about edged tools and related gear with an emphasis on spotlighting the little guy. I want to show you makers that you might never hear about without a site like Blade Bomb. I want to uncover the craftsmen that are making amazing knives right in your neighborhood. They are everywhere, doing amazing things with their own two hands and I intend to show you.

Direct Mount VFG from Unity Tactical

By on January 13, 2014 in Guns

Sometimes, when I am scrolling through my Facebook feed, something will catch my eye and it’s almost like I hear angels singing… That is what happened when I saw a SHOT Show preview of Unity Tactical’s upcoming direct connect vertical grip. It’s about time someone made one of these!

Unity Tactical direct VFG

This direct mount VFG will come with KeyMod hardware and standard hardware so that it can be attached to just about any slick-sided free float tube with holes in it. It is 2.25″ inches long and weighs just 1.1 ounces. The front and rear surfaces will be textured (not shown in the prototype pictures in this post) and it will be shaped to accommodate a number of grips (thumbs forward, thumb over, chicken choker, Kung Fu, etc).

I really don’t understand why it took so long for this to come to market but it seems that the slick tube style hand guards will finally have a direct connect vertical grip option. I consider this absolutely pivotal to their usefulness. I hope Unity Tactical sells a million of them.

Check out Unity Tactical online and, if you are attending SHOT Show, visit them in the TNVC Booth (#6502).

ALG Defense FSS

By on January 11, 2014 in Guns

There are very few push button QD sling swivel manufacturers that I trust to make a consistently durable and reliable swivel. I am hoping that I can now add ALG Defense and their new Forged Sling Swivel (FSS) to that short list.

ALG FSS

The FSS is different than most swivels in that it is made from mostly 7075 T6 aluminum instead of steel. The swivel is hard anodized for durability and the button, which is steel, is Black Nitride processed. As a result of the aluminum construction, these swivels weigh about .5 oz which is about half of what a typical QD swivel weighs.

ALG Defense will roll out the FSS at SHOT Show. Check out their website in the mean time.

Apex Polymer Armorers Tray and Pin Punch

By on January 11, 2014 in Guns

Apex Tactical Specialties’ new Polymer Armorers Tray and Pin Punch is designed to work in conjunction with their Polymer Armorers Block. The new Polymer Armorers Tray and Pin Punch sits directly below the Armorers Block in order to raise the block off the work surface, protect the work surface, catch various pins and parts that you may be removing while using the Armorers Block.

It comes with a 1/8 roll pin punch and 1/16″ Allen wrench that snap into the tray. There is also a space designed to retain the Talon Tactical M&P Rear Sight Tool. The bottom of the tray has a ring magnet that captures lose small parts to prevent loss.

This Armorers Tray and Armorers Block are designed primarily to work on the S&W M&P line of handguns but it is also very functional for those who work on Glocks and other semi-auto handguns.
