Labor Day is here which means you better get to the range to cram in some training while the weather is still nice! Happy Labor Day from JTT.
MAC Reviews the Echo93 V3/QD
You are no doubt familiar with Military Arms Channel (MAC) on Youtube by now. If not, you should probably set aside a fairly large block of time in your schedule because you are going to end up parked in front of your computer watching a ton of great video reviews.
Recently, MAC reviewed the Echo93 V3/QD which was actually a collaboration between MAC and Echo93. I have already stated my opinion on this blog that Echo93 makes the best rear sling mounts available for the AK family of rifles and now that they offer this QD version, that opinion is cemented in my mind even further. There simply just isn’t anything else out there for AKs that approaches the functionality of this sling mount.
UW Gear Forum 100 Member Giveaway
UW Gear does something that I wish more gear makers would do – they maintain a forum where you can interact directly with the principles of the company. The forum has tons of great information about their gear, their design philosophy, camo comparisons, and general discussion. It is the kind of place that you go to to determine if UW Gear is right for you and then you end up sticking around because the members are so nice.
They currently have about 70 members on the forum and that number is growing daily. To celebrate the upcoming milestone of 100 members, they are planning a giveaway. There is no word yet on what they will give away, but you will definitely want to be a member of the forum when this giveaway is announced.
Check out UWGear.com and the UW Gear Forum.

Cold Steel Secret Edge w/ Bladerigs IWB sheath
Bladerigs is now offering Cold Steel Secret Edge knives that have been customized and fitted with their excellent sheaths.
The customizations that have been performed on these knives turns them into compact defensive knives that are somewhat reminiscent of the Tracker Dan BloodShark. The handle is removed, reshaped, and then cord wrapped. The result is a thin, concealable handle that gives the user tactile feedback about the edge orientation and keeps your hand from slipping up onto the edge.
The sheath is the excellent minimalist IWB rig. This sheath allows a multitude of carry options in addition to inside the waistband. It works especially well tucked into a belt loop horizontally near the wearer’s center-line.
Check out the Cold Steel Secret Edge w/ Bladerigs IWB sheath on Bladerigs.com.
