KE Arms KE-15 Action Carbine

By on August 11, 2017 in Guns

I can’t say that the KE-15 Action Carbine will make you a winner but it is the carbine that multi-gun competitor and Trooper Class founder/guru, Russell Phagan, uses to win competitions regularly. So… Maybe some of that winning pedigree will rub off on you.

The Action Carbine has features selected to make it capable from 0-400 yards in fitting with its multi-gun competition roots. It features a Ballistic Advantage Performance Series barrel, a Young Manufacturing Nation Match BCG, a KE-15 lower receiver with a massive magazine well, KE Arms’ SLT-1 Trigger, and more.

You can read more about its features and options at KEArms.com.

Wild Hedgehog Tactical Ouch Pouch

By on August 11, 2017 in EDC, Reviews

I’ve been carrying an Ouch Pouch from Wild Hedgehog Tactical for about a year. It spends most of its time in the hydration pack that I use for hiking and biking. I’ve had to raid it several times and I’ve really come to like this simple, compact first aid kit.

The Ouch Pouch isn’t that different from something you can build yourself… except you are going to have to pay up for large quantities of the components only to strip them down for use in a compact first aid kit. I like the quality of the components used in the Ouch Pouch. There are brands like Medline, 3M, and Curad. I also like the versatility of the selected components. Items like Steri Strips can be used a number of ways and can close some pretty nasty wounds in a pinch.

Components:

  • 1 Pair Nitrile Gloves
  • 1″x3″ Bandages (5)
  • 2″x4″ Bandages (2)
  • Gauze Pad
  • Aspirin Pack
  • Antihistamine Pack
  • Ibuprofen Pack
  • 3M Medical Tape
  • 2x Bacitraicin Antibiotic Gel Packs
  • Pack of 3M Steri Strips
  • Purell Wipe
  • 2x Iodine Wipes
  • ​2x Alcohol Wipes

I’ve added a couple doses of anti-diarrhea tablets to mine because nothing will ruin a day on the trail or at the range quite some intestinal distress. Other than that, this is a capable, basic, and fairly complete kit at a decent price.

Adding a Weapon Light to a 10/22 the Easy Way

By on August 10, 2017 in Reviews

There are plenty of ways you can add a weapon light to a Ruger 10/22 and plenty of reasons you might consider doing so. In my case, I wanted to be able to illuminate critters who might be getting into the garden or hen house.

I posted a picture on Instagram yesterday of one of my 10/22s with a Streamlight TLR-1 attached in such a way that it could easily be activated with the index finger of the support hand. Someone asked which mount I was using and at the time I couldn’t remember so I checked around online to find out. The mount in question is the Pro Mag Tactical Barrel Band.

There aren’t many Pro Mag products I can recommend but the Tactical Barrel Band has worked out for me very well for more than 5 years. It easily replaces the OEM barrel band found on many 10/22 variants and provides a side rail, bottom rail, and fixed sling loop. You can flip it so that the rail and sling loop are on either side and it is machined from aluminum.

I have come to like this mount quite a bit. It’s easy to install, provides a useful front sling mount, and places the light in such a way that it is easy to active both momentary and constant modes. I would prefer that the side rail was a bit longer but the adjustable clamp style mount found on the TLR-1 attaches securely.

Lunar Concept Contour Padded Sling

By on August 10, 2017 in Tactical Gear

Lay your favorite belt out flat on a table. Chances are it won’t lay completely straight. There is likely a shallow bend forming where your belt crosses the center of your back. Straps or belts that are wrapped around an object for a long time will often form this kind of bend as they break in and conform to your body. So, why not start with the bend already in place?

The new Contour Padded Sling from Lunar Concepts is a 2 point sling that features a tapered pad that already has the shallow bend designed into it to enhance the comfort of the wearer. The removable pad is made from 500D nylon with EVA foam inside and backed with spacer mesh. It’s position can be adjusted on the sling with triglides.

The 1″ webbing sling features a single adjustment slider used to quickly lengthen or shorten the sling. It has open ends with triglides allowing the user to make use of the attachment hardware of their choice.
