Dead Man’s Hand Shooting Deck from RE Factor Tactical

By Matt on July 18, 2016 in Tactics and Training

RE Factor Tactical’s line of targets has impressed not only with how versatile they are on their own but with how they have continued to support them by developing drills and courses of fire to be used with them. Their latest addition, the Dead Man’s Hand Shooting Deck, is a deck of cards with 52 drills (one on each card) to be used with the IQ Target.

The card deck format allows you to carry them in your range bag and easily randomize the drills. Just grab a roll of IQ Targets, your Dead Man’s Hand Shooting Deck, and hit the range.

Mini Kit MK-7 Range Kit

By Matt on June 29, 2016 in EDC, Tactical Gear, Tactics and Training

I am really, really good at getting all the way to the range and then realizing I forgot something. That is why I have been using a Triple Seven Gear Mini Kit MK-7 as a range organizer since they were first released.

You can read my previous review on the Mini Kit MK-7 if you are unfamiliar with it but basically, it is an organizer for small items like medical supplies, EDC items, or range tools in this case. It is built to be compact enough to go in a cargo pocket or backpack and durable enough to stand up to daily use.

I have an excellent I-Shot range bag (rest in peace I-Shot) that can carry a ton of stuff but lacks organization for small items. I actually prefer bags that way because a large empty space is more versatile than bunch of smaller spaces. The large space lets me fit larger items or simply drop in an organizer to contain small items. That is where my Mini Kit MK-7 range kit comes in.

The kit remains loaded, full-time, with the tools that I am likely to need on the range and I can add other specific tools as needed. My kit consists of a Multitasker tool, a Combat Optic Tool, Sharpies, a pen, a notepad, bits for the Multitasker, a Torx wrench in a size found commonly on optic mounts, a laser bore sighing tool, and a Leatherman Micra.

If it is a quick range trip, I can just grab the Mini Kit itself. If I need the ability to carry more gear, I just drop the Mini Kit into a larger bag with my other gear. Any bag that I drop the Mini Kit into becomes a range bag.

I use these Mini Kit MK-7s a lot of different ways but this range kit is my favorite.

Dark Angel Medical Celebrates 50 Lives Saved

By Matt on June 23, 2016 in Survival, Tactics and Training

We celebrate a lot of milestones in this industry – likes, followers, page views, subscribers, sales, rounds fired… Those are great but Dark Angel Medical can top them all. They are celebrating 50 lives saved as a direct result of their training and line of medical gear.

From Dark Angel Medical:

Not long ago, we received a report on our 50th save using one of our med kits. That’s 50 reported saves in just five years! This is why we do it. There’s nothing cool or sexy about med kits. It’s about giving someone another chance at another birthday.

We encourage all of you to carry a med kit. The time chooses you, but it’s up to you to be prepared!

Kudos to Dark Angel Medical. That is one heck of a milestone.

A Simple Plan to Deal with Terrorism from 1MOA Solutions

By Matt on June 23, 2016 in Guns, Tactics and Training

From 1MOA Solutions:

In light of current events here’s a reminder on the only proven method of ending terrorism.

1. Buy a Gun.
2. Learn to use it.
3. Carry it everywhere.

Given a choice I would rather have a rifle than pistol if I’m going into a fight. Unfortunately I can’t always carry a rifle so I carry pistol as a way to get me to the rifle. I don’t care what you carry or how you choose to carry as long as you’ve got a plan and you’ve trained to put that plan into action.
