Awhile back SSD introduced you to Pivothead, manufacturers of eyewear embedded with cameras. Now, they’ve introduced a new version of the Recon model designed specifically for the tactical market.
Featuring full 1080P HD video collection, the Pivothead Recon comes with three sets of interchangeable lenses: shooting yellow, clear and grey. Prescription lens services and ANSI 87.1 rated lenses will be available this Fall. Additionally, they’re working on live, wireless streaming technology, which should be released in a few months, so keep an eye out for that as well.
The Recon is currently available in a matte black color with a universal camo pattern being launched later this month. Pivothead eyewear retails for $349.
Designed for use in weapon sling applications, the GTSR-SS 1.25″ is available now in four styles – dual adjust, single adjust (male or female) and non-adjust. The SR buckle connection is 1″ for modularity meaning it will also accept 1.25″ webbing.
Coming this Fall from US Palm is this new bag called the RRB. It’s meant for R&R, range trips, or as a load-out bag. This one is holding a Draco HBP, DT and a broken down 10.5″ M4, with room to spare. It also doubles as the perfect weekender for shorter Op’s while maintaining a low-profile, and can serve as the perfect range bag [with optional padded insert] for a long day at the range. More details to follow, will be available in MultiCam, Coyote, Ranger Green and Black.
Panteao Productions’ newest title examines Pistol Dynamics’ Paul Liebenberg as he customizes a stock 1911. He brings an interesting perspective based on his background. Liebenberg was a member of the World Champion South African Practical Pistol Shooting Team, NRA High Master, certified four-gun firearms instructor and professional pistol shooter who competed successfully in many disciplines in the shooting sports. In 1983 he immigrated to the US and joined Pachmayr Gun Works in Los Angeles CA were he rose to manage the Custom Gun Shop. In 1985 he opened Pistol Dynamics in Los Angeles to build high-end 1911 competition handguns and Pachmayr pistols on contract to that company. Today Pistol Dynamics is based out of Palm Bay FL where Paul continues to build high end 1911 pistols.
In this 2 disc video Paul goes over every aspect of customizing the 1911 pistol so that you can tackle doing your own customizing. He shows the proper way to fit a barrel and barrel bushing, installing a grip safety and thumb safety, trigger installation, installing and tuning an extractor, installation of the ejector, relieving the mag well, undercutting the trigger guard, lowering the ejection port, and much, much more. As Panteao says, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a master gun builder like Paul Liebenberg.
Tyler Cigard, lead designer for Patrol Incident Gear (PIG), will be leaving to take a new position as a designer for Crye Precision. While he will definitely be missed, we are excited for the new opportunities that lay ahead for him. We would like to thank Tyler for his efforts over the past 2 months in closing out numerous projects before his departure. Despite having some large shoes to fill, PIG will continue to create innovative gear solutions for our war-fighters and first-responders.
We wish you the best of luck Tyler!
