I have, in my grubby little mitts, a full set of A-TACS hydro-coated Magpul AR-15 furniture from SexyWeapon.com. The plan is to use it for a while to see how the coating holds up. I have always wanted to see how these coatings hold up to things like drilling for sling mounts and heat stippling. So, we are going to find out.
Stay tuned for details!
Readers of the blog will already be familiar with Orion Concepts’ kydex holsters. I have now been using their MOD-1 Holster for more than 7 months and it is still one of the most comfortable kydex holsters that I have ever used.
What many people don’t know is that Orion Concepts also offers training and a full selection of firearms. Their new site has all the details. Check out the Orion Concepts website.
This has to be one of my favorite patches of all time. I get a kick out of the clever way it blends of an iconic soft-drink and an iconic battle rifle. It also happens to be one of the better made patches that I have seen. It has 100% embroidery coverage and the Velcro is actually attached to the patch via the edge embroidery. Get yours at Weapon Outfitters.
The Shellback Tactical Banshee Plate Carrier continues on its march toward world domination. SKD Tactical is now carrying the Banshee and other Shellback Tactical products.
SKD is offering the Banshee initially with free shipping and a free US Flag patch. Check it out at SKDTAC.com.
We now have more details on the upcoming INFORCE APL (Auto Pistol Light) that Soldier Systems Daily initially reported. INFORCE sent me a press release that starts to paint a pretty impressive picture of the new APL.
The APL features an interesting ambidextrous push forward switch. I suspect that this switch will also make it well suited for mounting at the 12 o’clock position on a carbine rail. It boasts 200 lumen output on a single CR123 battery and runs for about 1.5 hours. On top of all of that, it weighs only 2.83 ounces including the battery!
INFORCE says that these will be available in late October.
