Fight and Flight Tactical

By on February 13, 2012 in EDC, Tactical Gear

I have been following Fight and Flight Tactical for a while. I first came across Dave, owner of Fight and Flight Tactical, when I was looking for some pouches to use on the side of a Kifaru MOLLE Express pack. His Sustainment Pouches were just what I wanted. Now I have the privilege of introducing Fight and Flight Tactical as an advertising partner on JTT.

Since that initial experience with Dave’s gear, I have had the chance to use several other pieces of gear. Some, like the 4×4 Hybrid Patch Panel, I have reviewed on JTT. Other gear, like the Leader’s Arm Board and YUCK, will be reviewed in the near future.

Dave makes a wide variety of gear for everyone from military aviators, to K9 handlers, to regular folks like me. Good quality, good service, and a fair price are all things that I have come to expect from Fight and Flight Tactical. So make sure you drop in to FightandFlight.com and welcome Dave to JTT.

UW Gear Bandoleer

By on February 11, 2012 in EDC, Guns, Survival, Tactical Gear

UW Gear has a ton of new products coming out so stay tuned for all the details. In this post, we’ll check out the new UW Gear Bandoleer.

Chest rigs are an efficient means of bearing the weight of rifle magazines for extended time periods but they aren’t necessarily best when it comes to reactionary situations since they you likely won’t have time to don the rig. UW Gear designed their bandoleer to fill the role of reactionary support gear. This isn’t a tool that is made to go looking for trouble. This is a tool for when trouble finds you.

The UW Gear Bandoleer allows you to have 3 rifle reloads at your finger tips in the blink of an eye. The user simply throws the shoulder strap over their shoulder and the UW Gear Bandoleer is ready to go. If there is enough time, the user can also secure the waist strap. Even with the waist strap secured, the bandoleer is designed to allow access to items mounted on both sides of your belt. The pouches feature the same excellent flap design as the Minuteman MKII chest rigs.

The combination of easy donning, easy access, and secure retention make this a great compliment to a truck gun. It can also be kept next to your home defense carbine so it is ready for use.

The UW Gear Bandoleer is available for the AK and for the AR. You will also want to check out the UW Gear Facebook page and their forum where you can interact directly with the owners and read more about the philosophy behind their products.

Valentine’s Day Sale at BFG – The Cure for Broken, Bleeding, and Stolen Hearts

By on February 11, 2012 in Survival, Tactical Gear

Forget the little cards with cartoon characters and sappy puns. Forget the chalky hearts with cutesy sayings on them. Forget over priced roses or boxes of calorie rich chocolate. Blue Force Gear (BFG) knows what you really want for Valentine’s Day – killer savings on the Trauma Kit NOW! with supplies. What better way to show your undying love than a trauma kit that might actually keep you from dying?

The Trauma Kit NOW! (TKN!) pouch is designed to give you easy, instant, and well organized access to your trauma supplies. The user simply lifts the flap and pulls up which allows the entire contents to be removed from the pouch on one organized tray. It takes far less time to deploy the trauma supplies than it takes to read a description of how it works. These kits have literally saved lives.

BFG is going head first into their awesome Helium Whisper line and they need to move out their previous style of pouches which includes the excellent TKN!. The TKN! normally sells for $115 with the trauma supplies included but BFG is discounting them to just $70 when you use the code “VDAYTKN5”.

Check out the Trauma Kit NOW! on the BlueForceGear.com to get your own while they are on sale and see a full list of contents.

All Terrain Tiger

By on February 9, 2012 in Tactical Gear

All Terrain Tiger (ATT) is a new camouflage pattern that is the result of a collaboration between Tiger Stripe Products and TRU-SPEC. It has been flying under the radar a bit during other high profile camo pattern announcements but this is one seriously slick pattern.

ATT is a modernized and more universal version of the famed Vietnam era tiger stripe patterns. The color scheme has been changed from the black and dark greens of the original to a more Multicam-esque color scheme that works across multiple environments. The overall effect is impressive and just down right cool.

Thanks to the collaboration with TRU-SPEC, ATT is going to be available on a host of uniform items. When it comes to  TRU-SPEC uniform items, you know PredatorACU.com is going to have you covered.  The photos in this post were provided by them and the TRU-SPEC ATT Tactical Response Uniform Jacket, Trousers, Combat Shirt, Combat Cap and wide brim Boonie Hat will be in stock on their site soon.

Be sure to watch the PredatorIntelligence blog for all of the latest details on ATT and other industry news.

TacStrike GOFO Target System

By on February 8, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear, Tactics and Training

The new GOFO Target System is about as compact and portable as a steel target can be.

There are a number of reasons why having a portable steel target system makes a ton of sense. Steel targets that are left outside can be become irresistible temptations for thieves so it makes sense to have a target that you can easily move and stow indoors. If you shoot at an unorganized range, you likely need to bring your own targets and no one wants to have to move around full size target if they don’t have to.

The GOFO utilizes the same 1/4 scales target as TacStrike’s well known 1/4 Scales Steel Target System. However, the GOFO is far more compact and lighter in weight since it does require a stand, a base, or staking. The entire system folds small enough to be easily carried and deploys easily with a hitch pin locking it in the open position. The hitch pin is the only removable part (everything else is welded).

Due to the design of this target, it can handle rifle fire at distances of 75 yards or greater. It isn’t going to break to pieces if you are closer but the angle of the target could cause a safety issue if you are within 75 yards.

Check it out on the TacStrike website for more information on the GOFO and other great targets.
