“Better” Raptor Charging Handle Fakes

By on February 18, 2014 in Guns, Tactical Gear

You may recall that fake Rainier Arms Raptor Charging handles began to show up on the market last year. At that time, the fakes were fairly easy to differentiate thanks to their inferior components. That is no longer the case. There is a new wave of more convincing fakes finding their way onto the market and the old rules of spotting them no longer apply. It appears that both Amazon and Ebay are laden with fakes. Stick to authorized dealers to purchase your Raptor. See this especially useful post on CalGuns to see the newest fake along side a genuine Raptor Charging Handle.

This image released by Rainier Arms last year is no longer a valid way to determine the authenticity of a Raptor Charging Handle. The new fakes are far more convincing.

TacStrike Backyard Memories Targets

By on February 17, 2014 in Guns, Tactics and Training

I always seem to have training goals to meet or products to test when I am on the range. It is easy for me to forget that shooting can be really, really fun. It is especially fun when you get your family or new shooters involved. TacStrike makes targets for people like you and me who have goals to accomplish on the range but, now, they also make targets for those who just want to have fun and make memories.

The Backyard Memories Targets line is designed to be fun, safe, durable, affordable, and right at home on backyard range. There will be an entire line of these targets eventually but the first offering is the Shepherd’s Hook Hanging Steel Targets which is designed to be hung from something that many families already have in their yard. The target slips onto a steel shepherd’s hook which is often used to hang bird feeders or flower pots.

This target is made from A36 steel and can handle .22LR and most handgun rounds at a distance of 10 yards or more. It is available in a number of sizes and multi-packs for as little as $14.

Mini Kit (MK-7)

If you build a better EDC solution, the world will beat a path to your front door… or something like that. Mini Kit MK-7 is a mulch-purpose EDC (every day carry) organizer pouch that is currently being crowd funded on Kickstarter. It is the brainchild of YouTube user 20$Bandit.

Mini Kit MK-7 exterior

The Mini Kit (MK-7) is a clam shell opening pouch with a number of internal organization features that are well suited to the items that many of us carry daily. The exterior of the pouch features a small section of loop material for adding personal ID or tapes to ID the contents of the pouch. The interior of the pouch features a clear vinyl pouch for carrying documents and ID on one side and a series of pockets and elastic loops on the other for retaining lights, knives, cables, pens, and similar items on the other. The kit can be secured in the closed position via an elastic strap.

One look at this kit will give you several ideas on how it could be used. Of course, the obvious use is as an EDC gear organizer but additional uses like survival/E&E kit, first aid kit, cord/cable organization, or even a small navigation kit come to mind.

Check out the Mini Kit (MK-7) Kickstarter page to see if it something you want to help fund. There is less than 1 week left to get involved.
