Beez Combat Systems gear already represents a great value in USA made tactical nylon so discounts are rare. This is one of those rare times. Use code HOHOHO to save 15% off all of their gear through Christmas.
This would be a great time to check out some of their new laser cut, MOLLE compatible GRID products.
PHLster’s upcoming Flex is an intriguing new concept for concealed carry gear. The Flex is basically a laser cut hypalon panel that has the potential to bring together everything (related to self-defense and self aid) you typically carry on a daily basis in a way that is completely modular and configurable.
While the Flex itself is simple, the concept is very nuanced and has far reaching applications. The video below does a good job of explaining the role this system plays in enhanced holster comfort and heat shielding in addition to the organizational aspects. Stay tuned for more details.
Mission Spec made this Star Wars themed carrier. It’s pretty much the best thing you’ll see all day.
TK-421. Never at his post.
Bravo Concealment is offering 15% off sitewide and free shipping for the entire month of December. This would be a great time to pick up that holster you have had your eye on or stuff some stockings with quality kydex.
I have been getting heavy pressure to come up with a gift guide which I have generally resisted because, well most of what I write could generally be used as a gift guide, especially the Bargain or Just Cheap? and The EDC Tool Roll series. The JTT inbox had two emails in it yesterday asking about affordable gift ideas. While I am generally the least imaginative gift giver ever, I am relenting.
The following gift ideas cost less than $40 (much less in most cases) and you should be able to have them to your door before Christmas if you act fast.
Even if a guy already has a hundred pairs of pliers, the sight of these handy little buggers hanging out of a stocking will kick off MacGyver fantasies in any man.
The Knipex Cobras would be my pick but Tekton and Channellock both have more affordable, USA made options: Mini Pliers Comparison
The VIM Tools HBR5 and GearWrench Micro Driver are going to appeal to every gun guy and tool guy. These tiny ratchets have the ability to drive both sockets and driver bits.
The GearWrench Micro Driver is often available at Sears on sale this time of year: GearWrench Micro Driver
The VIM Tool HBR5 is probably one of the top picks in this guide. It’s cheap, well made, incredibly handy, and one of the most popular entries ever in The EDC Tool Roll series: VIM Tools HBR5
These things are awesome. They can be used IWB or OWB and will fit every handgun mag the recipient owns. They also happen to be very affordable at $12. Get you order in soon: SET IWB Mag Pouch
These utility knives are cheap but handy which makes them the perfect stocking stuffer. No one can resist a tool that cuts stuff and open bottles: Screwpop Utility Knife
This handy little screwdriver is right at home in an EDC tool kit or range bag. They are made in the USA by a company that doesn’t hate your guns… in fact, they make tools specifically for them: Fix It Sticks Replaceable Edition
If you know someone who is into training for self defense, why not get them a training knife like the Kershaw Emerson E-Train. Its affordable, well made, and it’s the kind of thing every gun/knife guy should have: Kershaw Emerson E-Train
The ESEE Avispa and Zancudo are incredible knives for the money. They both carry easily, cut aggressively, and are backed with the ESEE warranty. That is hard to beat for the price: ESEE Avispa and Zancudo
ESEE Avispa D2
