Thursday, April 14th, 2011Make sure you get your entry in before tomorrow morning at 1200 GMT. Your entry doesn’t have to be computer generated. Take a couple of cans of krylon to an old bed sheet and take a photo of your handiwork if you don’t have computer skillz. The winner will be determined by a popular vote of your peers (kind of like how UCP was chosen, except there was no vote) next week. That $500 gift card to the winner from GSS is sounding pretty good.

Shellback Tactical’s New COMBAT AGGRESSOR
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011
Shellback Tactical gave us a sneak peek of their new COMBAT AGGRESSOR armor carrier. The original AGGRESSOR carrier has been very popular with the Law Enforcement community. The only issue was the color scheme. Many agencies use greens and browns for their uniforms and kit. Additionally, military organizations are looking for those colors as well. So Shellback removed the non-slip on the shoulder area to eliminate the two-tone effect when it comes to Ranger Green and Coyote and the COMBAT AGGRESSOR was born. The means the whole carrier is Codura. In keeping with the same color concept the spacer mesh was also removed along the arm areas. To top the design off Shellback added a drag handle to the back that stores out of the way yest is immediately accessible. Look for it to be in stock within the month.
