D.I.R.E. Course from Adler & Assoc. and UW Gear
UW Gear is in the business of making gear for the armed citizen, so it only makes sense that they should start offering training geared toward the armed citizen. The new D.I.R.E. Course from Adler & Associates and UW Gear is designed to prepare regular citizens for worst case scenarios.
D.I.R.E. stands for Disaster Insurgency Recovery Event. While many courses do a great job of focusing on specific skills like weapons manipulation or emergency first aid, this course is a practical application of many skills that the armed citizen will find useful in a disaster. It is the first course in an entire planned series of D.I.R.E. courses that will build skills and provide application of the skill that is specific to disaster scenarios.

GITD Reflective Patches from Mojo Tactical
Some patches are more useful than others. The new GITD Reflective Patches are some of the most useful patches that you will ever find.
These patches look pretty neat and they are pretty low profile in the day light. Once darkness falls, these patches glow in the dark (GITD) and are also reflective. You can put them on your pack so you can find it easily in camp. They can be worn during low light training so you can keep track of people moving on the range. There are a ton of uses for patches like this.
The GITD Reflective patches come in a wide variety of sizes (1×1″, 1×2″, 2×2″, 1×4.5″, 2×4″) and a US Flag version. Check them out on Mojo Tactical’s Facebook storefront.
NukoTools PunchRings Gen. 2
The PunchRing from NukoTools is one of the most compact and easy to carry single finger knucks on the market. I reviewed one of the original ones and I loved it. NukoTools has tweaked the design of the original and the 2nd generation PunchRing is now available.
The new version features the new NukoTools logo and some ergonomic improvements. The most noticeable of the ergonomic improvements is the addition of cutouts on either side of the finger hole. These should serve to make the PunchRing more comfortable and more secure when it is gripped.
Like, the original PunchRing, These are handmade from G-10. G-10 is lightweight, bull strong, and completely non-magnetic. It is a great material for this application.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of the new Gen 2 PunchRings for review.
ESEE 5&6 Custom Handles from T-K-C
The-Knife-Connection (T-K-C) has expanded its line of custom handle slabs for ESEE knives once again. Their custom scales for the ESEE 5 and ESEE 6 are now available.
The handles on the stock ESEE 5 and 6 are some of the most comfortable in the ESEE line but there are some out there who prefer a more contoured handle over the flat scales that come standard on the 5 and 6. The drop-in custom handle scales from T-K-C feature pronounced swells to lock the hand in place. They also have a slight texture to increase grip. On top of all of the functional issues, if we are being completely honest, there are many out there who will prefer the looks of the new T-K-C handles. Some people just can’t help customizing their gear.
Check out the new scales at The-Knife-Connection.
