One of my favorite caps, the RE Factor Tactical Blasting Cap, is now available in Multicam. It retains all the loop material fields and the internal signalling panel but the mesh side panels of the tan version have been replaced with solid Multicam material.

PerSec Systems and Unity Tactical have collaborated to bring you custom Kydex holsters with a special cut that is designed to accommodate Unity Tactical’s ATOM optic mounting system for handguns. The ATOM system is really catching on in large part of its ability to mount the Aimpoint T1 and its ability to be updated as micro red dot sight technology advances.
The ATOM cut is available as an option on all of PerSec Systems’ holsters. The ATOM system will work with other optic cut holsters but the introduction of holsters designed specifically to accommodate the system is a mark of a well developed concept.

The DE-CAP-ATURTLE is a lightweight (.8 oz), compact, and somewhat discreet self-defense tool that looks a little bit like a, you guessed it, turtle. I have been able to spend a few weeks now with one as part of my EDC gear and I am pretty impressed with it.
Chris Watkins of GUNN-FIGHTER.com is the designer and manufacturer of the DE-CAP-ATURTLE. Each DE-CAP-ATURTLE is water-jet cut from aluminum and then hand finished. The hand finishing includes grinding the BESH Wedge-like edge of the cutting/punching point and removing sharp edges where the DE-CAP-ATURTLE touches the user’s hand. The aluminum is given a raw satin finish on the flats.
The DE-CAP-ATURTLE open bottles well. That is, after all, its primary use. However, it can also be used as a last ditch self-defense tool. It can be gripped a number of ways to facilitate this. It works well wrapped around the index or middle finger if you want to use it like a knuck/duster. Alternately, it can be gripped with the loop around the index finger with the thumb supporting the point. With this grip, the DE-CAP-ATURTLE can be used to rake and slash. The edge is not so sharp that it will cut up your pockets but it can be fairly effective when slashing.
The DE-CAP-ATURTLE isn’t perfect. The fit and finish is a bit rough in spots but it also costs considerably less than most similar tools. If you find a sharp edge or rough spot, the raw aluminum is easy to reshape with sandpaper.
This is the kind of tool that you constantly find new uses for. I have used it to turn the adjustments drums on a Aimpoint, open bottles, pry staples out of target uprights, and more. It even has a little 1/2″ box wrench that pulls double duty as a lanyard hole.
This is a handy little bugger. Check out DE-CAP-ATURTLE at GUNN-FIGHTER.com.
The MPIL that started it all is now back in stock! The orange/violet MPILs tend to sell at a very brisk pace so act fast.

I am a big fan of the Ka-Bar TDI as a compact, easy to carry, and extremely affordable fixed blade knife option. I know several of you are as well so I try to highlight the various sheathing options that I come across. I recently came across Veil Solutions and their Raptor sheath.
The Raptor sheath is designed to carry the TDI in a somewhat horizontal position on the belt with the handle facing in toward the wearer’s center line. It is formed from Kydex and features a Pull-the-Dot style belt loop which can be switched to either side and can fit belts up to 1.75″ thick. They offer it in a number of colors.
If you don’t already have a TDI, Veil Solutions can add one to your order at a very attractive price. They will even stipple the handle for an additional $5!
