21st Century Gunfighter LLC and United States Shooting Academy – Muzzle Device Comparison Pt I

Monday, August 27th, 2012

21st Century Gunfighter LLC and United States Shooting Academy got together to take a look at muzzle devices. There are loads of them out there so it’s good to see someone take a look at them. They are right up front about stating that this isn’t a scientific test but that they have mitigated random influences as much as reasonably possible. All demos were preformed on the same day, with the same gun and the same ammunition, by the same shooters. This is a shooting evaluation so it’s subjective, but interesting.

We recommend you take a look at the entire series.

Diamondback Tactical LLLP has launched a new E-Commerce web site with access to overstock inventory and 72 hour shipping. These products include an expansive array of tactical ammunition, less lethal and utility pouches; specialized pouches; and overstocked bags, packs and racks, which were previously a trademark of Diamondback Tactical’s nylon gear product line, BattleLab. All stocked items will ship in less than 72 hours, while inventory lasts.

“We are excited about releasing the online store, and the ability it will give us to display our wide range of tactical products,” said Roland VanSkiver, V.P. of Global Sales for Diamondback Tactical. “Our new online store answers the call from operators worldwide for trusted DBT gear they can purchase at the click of a button. This launch is just the tip of the iceberg. Operators are encouraged to visit frequently as we continue to build and add tactical gear to the site.”

Additionally, Diamondback Tactical has also begun the design of its new and improved BattleLab tactical gear line, slated for release in Q4 2012. The standard BattleLab line will also be offered online and merchandised across the country through Diamondback Tactical’s authorized distributor network.

The new E-Commerce web site is just the latest in features added to Diamondbacktactical.com. The site was redesigned last winter to provide its users with more product information, as well as a refreshed visual identity. The redesign better showcases the premium products manufactured by Diamondback Tactical, made in America.
