This photo was taken during this week’s Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. It’s amazing how versatile the Team Wendy Exfil Bump Helmet’s T-Slots are. While some might question the use of a bump helmet as party wear, I beg to differ. I’d say this is a pretty good choice. Not only does it carry your drinks but it will also protect your noggin in the event of some street mayhem or you hit the falling down drunk stage.
When High Ground Gear and Phokus Research Group teamed up to unveil the Ring Sling at SHOT Show, several readers criticized the design without even seeing how it works. Between these two videos I’d say that you’ll get a good idea of what’s going on.

The American Machine Gun: including the Browning Automatic Rifle and the Thompson Sub-machine Gun, the Gun that Made the ’20s Roar, was the weapon of choice for lawmen and gangsters during the Prohibition era, including Machine-Gun Kelly, Elliot Ness, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, John Dillinger, and others; The M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle: the Gun that Saved the World, used by U.S. forces again Nazis and the Japanese during WW II; The American Police Handgun: from the .3 8 Special revolver to the Glock pistol, this chapter is a tour through police firearms history; The M16 Assault Rifle: made famous during Vietnam, this platform is still the standard used by U.S. military weapons including the H&K M4, the firearm that killed Osama bin Laden.

We received this report about the auction of the one-of-a-kind art created by artist Ellwood T. Risk from a target shot 79 times (once for each fallen NSW member since 9-11) on 9-11 of last year by my friend, SOCS Dave Hall, USN, Ret.
The art was auctioned for $17,500 last Saturday. It was a huge success with the Gold Star families, widows and children of our fallen, as well. They loved it and loved to touch the bullet hole that was shot for their loved one. We will be moving into the print sales phase shortly.
We’ll keep you posted.
Using a hybrid composite of Polyethylene, Nylon and Carbon Fiber Stays, XFrame Dynamic Load Carriage moves with the body. According to TYR, it utilizes the active hip to create a cross sectional load to the opposing muscular structure. This allows for dynamic movement of the body (twisting, turning, bending, and rotational movement of the hips). The XFrame stays free-float within cross channels in the carrier and have secure limiter straps that can be adjusted for maximum range of movement.
The XFrame Dynamic Load Carriage is compatible with all carriers in the PICO family.
