Those jokers at S.O.Tech Staff took the team room humor that pervades a gear sewing shop and combined it with their access to local Hollywood resources to create a video where they can laugh at themselves. Figuring that their customers like the same things they do, they thought they would share. We know that when we asked S.O.Tech’s owner, “Why did you put the holster on the vest like that?†Jim smiled and answered, “Because it looks cool and chicks dig it.†So, Get Some of That and Enjoy.
No, you can’t store a vehicle in it, but it looks like you can keep your ammo from rolling around in your trunk. Simple and functional. Since it’s called a Medium storage bag on the web site we expect to see more of these in other sizes. Berry compliant and available in Coyote and MultiCam.
We have received a couple of tips that Colt has a new rifle in 7.62, model number CM901. Apparently, it will also be backward compatible with 5.56 uppers and has already been demonstrated for potential US Government customers. Sounds like we have a new contender in the “SCAR WARS”. We expect to see it unveiled at AUSA in October.
Remember, you heard it here first.
Death Valley Magazine recently published an article on the “Civilian Contractor Casualty Accountability Project†(CCCA-Project). The goal of the project is to not only account for all of the Civilian Contractors who have been killed in service of the U.S. Government around the world (regardless of nationality) – but also to account for those Civilian Contractors who are Missing in Action, currently being held as Prisoners of War or Unjustifiably Held in Captivity.
To make this monumental task a reality they are seeking volunteers. to see how you can help visit Death Valley Magazine.
Answering our call for photos of military ration packs, we received this happy snap of a British issue Menu #1 made up of Steak & Veggies for the main meal, freeze dried porridge for breakfast, and Mexican tuna pasta for lunch. We would say that the more outrageous the name of a ration component the more likely it will suck. “Mexican”, “tuna”, and “pasta” just don’t go together.
So you’ve received your RFI issue of OCP (MultiCam) clothing and equipment but, “Egad” there is no wallet to be had. NEMO Equipment comes to the rescue offering their popular Ditto wallet manufactured from manufacturing scraps. If you are seeking one of these babies, visit Tactical Distributors.
If you have been following Vickers Tactical on Twitter, Larry has been hinting that a big announcement would be coming on September 15th. Well, the day is here and the announcement is in fact, pretty big. Larry Vickers has developed a new program whereby he has certified a small cadre of instructors to provide basic instruction in the Vickers Shooting Method. This is a good move that will help to ensure quality instruction for those that want to train with Larry in order to learn his techniques but are unable to attend his classes due to location or funds.
Below is the official press release which covers it well. Further details including an FAQ and the list of instructors can be found at VickersTactical.com.
I get requests on a weekly basis from new shooters that want to attend basic level pistol or carbine classes taught by me. Unfortunately due to my busy schedule including TV filming as well as teaching various classes locally and around the USA I rarely teach basic classes regardless of the location. This has created a dilemma as many of these potential students would love to attend my level 1 classes as well other specialty classes I offer but they have no means to do so. Until now.
After careful consideration I have decided to allow select prior students of mine to teach basic level pistol and carbine classes under the Vickers Shooting Method (VSM) banner. These students have demonstrated a firm grasp of the key marksmanship fundamentals and in fact all of them have attended multiple Vickers Tactical classes taught by me – at least 4 classes apiece. Many of them are teaching classes already on a local level but this new program is designed to get them exposure from my website and direct new or basic level shooters to them in order to get these students up to speed and ready to take a level 1 class from me. Initially only a handful of regionally endorsed instructors will be authorized to use the VSM logo in their basic classes but I expect the program to grow as time goes on and more qualified candidates become available. All of these individuals will adhere to the 3 basic principles that guide my unique marksmanship style;
Rule one; Know and adhere to the real world safety rules that govern professional firearms handling.
Rule two; Only accurate hits on target can decide the fight in your favor – therefore accuracy is King.
Rule three; You are accountable for every round you fire – squeeze the trigger as if your life depends on it because it does.
New shooters attending basic level classes with any of the regional instructors will come away with a firm grasp of these Vickers Shooting Method principles and be on track to apply them in the real world. This will set them up for success and be ready to take it to the next level when they attend a class taught by me.
