What’s Up at JTT

By on May 26, 2012 in Tactical Gear

Jon and I are keeping ourselves busy here at JTT. We have plenty of reviews in the pipeline and the list is growing daily. Here is just a fraction of what we are working on…

Jon L has been working on a long term review of the LaRue Tactical 762 PredatAR. This rifle is just about as good as it gets for semi-auto 7.62 rifles and you are not going to want to miss this review.

We also have a stack of gear that we are working through. You can look forward to seeing the Princeton Tec Charge MPLS shortly.

Other gear in the queue includes the GearPods Survival Pro, ECHO93 DMS Sling, J Dewey AR-15 cleaning gear, Grip Force Adapter 123SC, ALG Defense AR-15 Triggers, Battle Arms Development Short Crank lever, and more.

We also have some Tactical Handyman posts in the works and maybe an interview or two. Stay tuned to JTT so you don’t miss a thing.

Team Wendy ESAPI Training Plates

By on May 26, 2012 in Tactical Gear, Tactics and Training

I have written about training plates before and I think they are an excellent investment, especially if you pay for your ballistic plates out of your own pocket. Inert training plates approximate the weight and size of real ballistic plates so that you can train realistically without putting wear and tear on your real plates.

Team Wendy makes some of the more well known and easily available training plate sets on the market and now Shellback Tactical is carrying them (and other Team Wendy gear). These plates are great for all of you who have built your High Value Armor Set Up using the excellent Banshee Plate Carrier.

Adams Arms Manimal Muzzle Device

By on May 25, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

The popularity of 14.5″ barrels on AR-15s is exploding. These barrels require the addition of a pinned and welded muzzle device in order to reach the 16″ minimum legal barrel length so it seems that there are suddenly several muzzle devices that are specifically designed for this purpose. However, none of them have taken the purpose built nature of their design as far as the Manimal flash suppressor from Adams Arms.

This photo from Adams Arms shows the Manimal (right) compared to a standard A2 flash suppressor.

The problem with pinning and welding a muzzle device is that it makes it impossible to take the gas block off the end of the barrel without destroying the muzzle device. So shooters were basically stuck with whatever gas block and hand guard that they chose at the time the muzzle device was permanently attached. Adams Arms solved this problem by designing the Manimal with a small enough outside diameter to allow a standard .750″ gas block to slip over it. Genius!

The device is similar to the extended A2 flash suppressors that are sold for the express purpose of being permanently attached. I do not have any time behind the Manimal but I can attest to the fact that this style of flash suppressor does indeed suppress flash fairly well and it does suppress muzzle rise a bit as well.

This Manimal isn’t on the Adams Arms site yet but I suspect it will sell very well once it is available.

Fight and Flight Tactical 5×3 Hybrid Patch Panel

By on May 24, 2012 in Tactical Gear

The Hybrid Patch Panel product line from Fight and Flight Tactical is now one product larger. The new 5×3 Hybrid Panel is the latest entry into this versatile line-up.

The 5×3 is sized to carry a single AR-15 (or similar) magazine or other items that will fit like smart phones. Of course, it also still does a great job of displaying patches. It comes with a shock cord (bungee) retainer for use with a rifle magazine and a webbing strap for securing smaller items.

Check out the latest Hybrid Patch Panel from Fight and Flight Tactical.
