Forward Controls Design – 4th of July Newsletter – Worth a Read

The Forward Controls Design Newsletter is usually just a few sentences about what is happening at FCD. This month is a bit different and its worth a read… and not just for the details about the discount. Any time a new citizen is minted, it’s a very cool thing.

Effective July 1st to July 4th, 15% off site wide, no items excluded, no code is required.

We’re usually quite succinct in our newsletters, this is a rare occasion when we’re a bit long winded.

This July, one of us at FCD will become a newly minted United States citizen. An immigrant’s perspective of the freedom we take for granted can be quite different and sobering, I believe one needs to not only travel abroad, but also live in a foreign land for a few years to truly appreciate the unique rights and freedoms the Constitution grants and guarantees all Americans.

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the men and women that have fought to keep this nation free. It is solely because of them that we’ve been able to enjoy our safety and liberty, and all the opportunities America affords us. We do not take our freedom for granted, we do not take our men and women in uniform for granted, they are the heroes of the nation to whom we owe an immense debt I don’t think can be fully repaid.

If you’re still reading this, thank you, and have a safe Independence Day.

3D Printed ID Patches from Mission Spec

Mission Spec is testing a new way to use 3D printing – creating ID patches. The ID patches look a lot like standard embroidered name tapes at first glance but if you look closer, the letters are actually 3D printed. The letters have dimension and really stand out from the background.

These ID patches aren’t available yet but Mission Spec is experimenting with ways to bring them to market. If you are interested, you can let them know on their Facebook page.

Gleipnir Holster Leash from Brown Coat Tactical

Brown Coat Tactical’s newest product, the Gleipnir Holster Leash, allows you to turn your belt holster into an off body carry holster for use inside a bag or pack. It is essentially a static line for your holster.

The Gleipnir consists of a short section of scuba webbing to attach the holster to, a section of paracord, and a split ring. The split ring can be attached to something inside your bag (or other off-body concealment locations). Alternately, you can use other user supplied attachment methods like heavy duty safety pins.

The static line is a concept with which many self defense knife users will be familiar. It is basically a way of attaching a sheath (or in this case a holster) to a fixed object so that when the gun or knife is pulled away from the fixed object, the sheath/holster is stopped by the cord and removed automatically.
