Always remember handgun skills are the most difficult to attain and maintain so practice them often. We live in a world of CCW in the US so common sense tells you that if you ever need a weapon for self defense it is likely to be a handgun. In addition the sight alignment and trigger control skills needed with a pistol carry over directly to other weapons so time spent with a pistol is never time wasted.

Gerber has expanded their line of automatic knives to include the Propel series knives: the Propel Auto and the Propel Downrange Auto.
The Propel Auto sports a tanto-style 420 HC stainless steel blade with partial serration; a black oxide coating offers limited reflectivity and corrosion resistance. The grip uses a black G-10 composite handle and Gerber’s Assisted Opening 2.0 for seamless, one-handed opening. The plunge lock and safety switch fix the blade in place, open or closed. The pommel features a lanyard hole for utility.
The Downrange shares all the features of the Propel Auto, except it exchanges the black G-10 handle for tan and the 420 HC steel for an upgraded S30V steel blade. Both knives have a blade length of 3.5″ with an overall length of 8.52″ and a weight of 4.28 oz. The Propels also share a three-position adjustable clip that allows the user to customize the knife’s orientation: tip up, tip down, or left side carry.

The FLIR T70 is an uncooled clip-on thermal weapon sight designed and optimized for use with NATO 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm rounds with an approximate 500 meter range. It features a low, in-line opto-mechanical profile that compliments current Rifle Combat Optics and is suitable for weaponry featuring flip-down or removable front sight posts. The FLIR features a x1 default field of view for center of mass hits at 500 meters, and a x1.5 field of view to allow the operator to display a wide area of regard for situational awareness. It also functions as a standalone weapon sight and hand held thermal viewer.
The FLIR T70 is powered by either 3 AA batteries, 5 hours at 20 degrees Celsius, or 2 CR123 batteries, 4 hours at 20 degrees Celsius, and the batteries can be replaced without removing the sight from the weapon. It features the standard white hot/black hot polarity modes, although it can also show images in full color using several palette modes:
Gray (Grayscale) Palette – provides maximum contrast on targets against a uniform background using black and white shades.
Iron Palette – provides a color scale that goes from dark red through yellow to white to represent increasing temperatures.
Rain (Rainbow) Palette – uses all the colors of the rainbow from red through green, blue, and yellow to violet to represent increasing temperatures.
Ice (Fire & Ice) Palette – displays blue for cold targets and red for hot targets.
The FLIR T70 comes in a Flat Dark Earth finish.
