If you love “gun camera” footage as much as I do then you are going to love The Observation Post. It’s a new website that posts daily firepower videos. You’ll see it all there, armored vehicles, infantry in contact, SOF operations, Gunship footage and UAV feeds.
It is now part of my daily Internet ritual and I recommend you check it out as well. You won’t be disappointed.
Rifle Dynamics‘ Jim Fuller gives some great pointers for those purchasing an AK series rifle in this Panteao Productions video presented by Tactical Weapons..
The new Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity is not only solar powered but it also connects via Bluetooth to your iPhone. The point of the system is that it has small indicators on the face and the second hand swings to one of them to indicate that there is something on your iPhone that needs attention, for example a message or meeting. the advantage is that you can leave your phone in your bag or pocket and still be notified by your phone even when it is silent. What do you think about your devices talking to one another? Could this be applied in other instances as well?
It’s certainly stylish, but is it Useful or Useless? Either way, it’s coming this Fall from www.citizenwatch.com.
This is an Engineering Proof of concept by Extreme Gear Labs for their upcoming Suchka Stock Blow Out Kit with CAT Tourniquet pocket. It’s made from 500D Pencott Badlands Cordura. It’s designed to attach to an AK side folding stock. This is not the final design but it gives you a glimpse into the process.

I’d like everyone to enjoy this last day of Summer. But please do it responsibly and be safe. I’d also like you to read a little bit of the history of Labor Day and how it became a National holiday. It’s interesting in that we take it for granted, like so many rights and advantages we enjoy as Americans. It’s important to remember how we got here.
So, Stay Safe and Have Fun! Believe it or not, you can do both.
Impact Weapons Components is generally known for their excellent flashlight mounts. However, they’ve expanded into additional products. One of my favorites is the 2 To 1 Point Triglide. Available in 1.25″ width to accommodate most slings, it is fitted on to your sling to allow it to attach back on to itself. It is designed to work with push button quick detach sling swivels already found on most slings. Installation is a snap. You slide he older model on the webbing and this latest version is designed to fit slings with sewn ends or to immediately modify your sling. The split -bar model slides into place wherever you want it. It’s a solid product, CNC machined from Billet 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized Type III per MIL-A-8625F.
IWC’s 2 To 1 Point Triglide is perfect for those that want the flexibility to convert their 2-point slings into single points. And now that they’ve introduced the split-bar model, it’s even easier to configure your sling.
I’ve been using one for several months now and appreciate the versatility it affords. There are times when I want to use a single-point sling but prefer the Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Assault Sling. Using the 2 To 1 Point Triglide gives me the best of both worlds.

Eight years ago today Muslim Chechen separatists occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia which is an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation. They took over 1,100 faculty, students and their parents hostage demanding that the Russians leave Chechnya. After three days of negotiations, during which hostages and terrorists alike died, Russian paramilitary forces retook the school. Unfortunately, 377 were killed during the operation.
Terrorists have have conducted this sort of action more than once in various parts of the world. Even the recent mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado is a portent of things to come. Citizens and Law Enforcement alike should be vigilant. For citizens, if it doesn’t look right, avoid the situation. For LE and first responders, it is imperative to practice. Even rock drills and command post exercises to work out command and control as well as communications issues is critical. Learn critical skills. Be prepared to transition from regular duties to dealing with single and multiple active shooters. Get the proper equipment and know how to use it.
I recommend all read up on this operation and study both the actions of the terrorists as well as those of Government forces.
