M1 for Vets Shooting Events

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

M1forVets is a Non-Profit Organization Dedicated to Financial and Logistical Support of Returning Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and the Global War on Terror (GWT) “Transitioning Combat Wounded Veterans” for the Purpose of Competing in National Shooting Sports. They hold regular functions and the next shoot for the Chicagoland area is coming up on June 4th.

The event will be held at Impact Training Center which has donated the use of the range for the event and we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to DAV in their name. Others are volunteering time as instructors and range masters as well as the use of their rifles. Finally, the team is organizing rides for participants so they can make it to the event.

Triple Aught Design Releases New Force 10 Pants

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Triple Aught Design is known for releasing new products on Fridays and today’s big news is that they are introducing a new version of their popular Force 10 pants. Same styling but a new fabric; 50/50 NYCO. This is the same fabric used in American combat uniforms for the past 20 years and balances comfort with durability.

• Streamlined silhouette for a lower profile, less drag, fewer lines and reduced bulk
• Eight pockets provide storage with easy access including cargo pockets with an external top slot that enables you to carry large linear items in your cargo pocket such as a longer flashlight, ruler or hammer
• D-Rings on the front belt loop for attaching accessories and keys
• Gusseted crotch enhances range of motion
• Knee pockets for inserting T-Pro Knee Armor for use in tactical, work or mechanical contexts when you need to drop to a knee or knees to complete a task
• Taped buttons have greater staying power and allow for quick and easy field repair without a needle and thread using the accompanying slotted self-repairing button.
• Reinforced knees and pocket clip patches

OR Ironsight Gloves

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Outdoor Research has been known for years as a maker of Berry compliant head and hand wear. Their quality is unsurpassed but Made in USA comes with a price tag. Recently, OR decided to offer a few styles made overseas to help keep the price down. OR controls the quality and all of the samples we have seen are well made.

Based on the popularity of mechanics style gloves, one of the OR models we thought you might be interested in is the Ironsight. The Ironsight is well thought out and features a breathable synthetic leather construction combined with slip-free grip pads on the palm. The fingers and back of hand are of stretch nylon fabric with silicone grip pads on the fingertips. Finally, there is a pull loop for easy donning and doffing which can also be used as an attachment loop.

SORD USA Announces A-TACS Clothing

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

SORD USA has just announced that they are now offering their Smock in A-TACS camouflage (NYCO) as well as MultiCam (NYCO) and Tan (100% ripstop Cotton). We have chosen to include a photo in Tan because the A-TACS pattern works so well it masks some of the smocks features.

Redback One chief instructor Jason Falla has been wearing the SORD smock for a few months now and everyone who has seen it has been asking where they can get one. SORD USA heard their pleas and has answered them.

The smock features ELEVEN pockets (five around the waist, four on the chest and two on each bicep). Rather than the wire usually found in the brim of the hood, SORD is using a tube to shape it. The smock also integrates pit zips as well as 1000D Cordura elbows as well as tie down points for gloves at the cuffs. When buttons are used, they are of the slotted variety.

Four chest pockets consist of two large pockets with button closure and two side zip opening pouches for easy access while wearing body armor or chest rigs with a single zippered opening on the left chest allowing access to garments underneath. The waist features five pockets with the center rear pocket being a larger poacher-style pocket.

Generous bicep pockets consist of a large zipper opening main pouch, with a smaller top opening pocket for range cards, etc. The outer face of the bicep pockets features a large 4” x 4” Velcro panel for attaching IFF, ANFs, etc. SORD has also included a cover spare panel of matching material for instances where the IFF panel is not needed.

Additionally, they will have the Field Uniform Jackets and Pants in A-TACS within the week. They are also currently updating their website with caps in 3 versions; SORD logo, Velcro patch and US flag variants. Finally, check out the US flag on A-TACS background.
