Stars and Stripes recently published an article on James Cragg, president and CEO of S.O. Tech. It details how Cragg and his company found inspiration in Civil War-era equipment such as Union Army Captain Anson Mills’ woven cartridge belt and cavalrymen’s saddlebags when designing their gear. Cragg, having two years ago attended attended the US Cavalry School in Montana to study the gear of the Indian Wars period, and this year attended the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, has a firm understanding of the equipment of the era and how mistakes and innovations made then can be learned from to create better gear for the present.

A-TACS LE camo was developed for, and with the assistance of, law enforcement professionals. It’s designed less for concealment and more as a “show of force” pattern for specialized situations that require the use of Special Operations or Tactical Response Teams.
Additionally, not only are the A-TACS camo patterns including A-TACS LE the official patterns of the Spirit of Blue Foundation, but for every product purchased in the A-TACS LE camo pattern, Digital Concealment Systems will be donation a portion of the proceeds to the Spirit of Blue Foundation.
Be on the lookout for future announcements regarding the availability of products featuring new A-TACS LE Camo.

Iron Hammer Armory is hosting the First Annual ‘Circle the Wagons’ field training event in Byers, Colorado on October 19th and 20th. Over 20 introductory firearms and tactical courses will be available over the two-day period. Instructors include members of Rockwell Tactical Group, professional shooter Dani Bryan, and members of the American Centurion Network. In addition to the courses, there will also be timed events with cash/prize awards. Registration includes single course, day pass, and weekend pass options; day and weekend passes are limited. Further details, including a full list of courses, pricing, and class requirements can be found here.
Note: 30 rounds mags are legal to own in Colorado, and legal to use. The misconceptions about Colorado ridiculous new law is the driving reason for Circle the Wagons. Colorado law bans the TRANSFER of hi-cap mags, not their use or possession. As long as you “owned” them prior to July 1st of this year, you are legal to use them.
