The Sheriff of Baghdad is a street fightin’ man. He’s introduced the SOB PUNCHER which is an exclusive design incorporating what he claims are all of the necessary elements of the perfect Push Dagger. Created as an emergency, tertiary or backup dagger, the SOB PUNCHER is an inside the waistband or belt or hand carried dagger. McPhee says it is best when worn centerline of the body, so in case of emergency it can be grabbed easily with either hand.

My passion for the operators or officers putting their lives on the line started this dagger. It was finished by real world and past experiences of these situations led to the perfect design and storage of the SOB PUNCHER.

It’s pretty cool. Oftentimes, guys will find themselves operating in vehicles or scenarios where they can’t wear a fully kitted out armor carrier. That’s where the THUG comes in. You can configure the THUG for any number of loads and store it in a bag or hang it up via G-Hooks. Then, when you need it, you can quickly attach it to your armor carrier using those G-Hooks at the rear and Tubes up front. It still allows use of the Tubes for rapid donning and doffing and, it can folded in half for center wear on your carrier.

Lipsey’s Announces Vickers Tactical Signature GLOCK 17&19

Thursday, November 6th, 2014

This team up between Lipsey’s and Larry Vickers very exciting news. While his name has long been synonymous with the 1911, LAV has been shooting GLOCKs for years. In fact, he has developed several GLOCK after market parts that will be included in this Lispey’s build on the FDE frame. I’ve already placed my order through my local Lipsey’s dealer and can’t wait to get my hands on it.

LIPSEY’S AND VICKERS TACTICAL TEAM UP TO DELIVER GLOCK EXCLUSIVES

Baton Rouge, La. — Lipsey’s, a nationally renowned firearms distributor, and combat veteran Larry Vickers, the face of the tactical firearms industry have entered into partnership on two exclusive GLOCK pistol models.

Beginning today, Lipsey’s will have a limited run of Gen 3 RTF2 Frame GLOCK 17 and 19’s in flat dark earth. They come equipped with Vickers Tactical sights, mag release, slide catch and magazine base plates. These GLOCK models will also have unique serial numbers (0000LAV- 4999LAV) for collectability and authenticity. Larry Vickers chose close industry partners Wilson Combat to create the sights and Tango Down who manufactured all other parts. When asked about the joint venture Larry said, “I’m proud to be working with Lipsey’s on a pair of GLOCK pistols that not only feature my parts, but are offered in a configuration never before available in the market. Serious GLOCK fans take note, these guns are a must have.”

The FDE GLOCK has been a staple in the Lipsey’s Exclusives arsenal for several years. Lipsey’s Product Development Manager Jason Cloessner and Larry Vickers have been brewing this concept for some time. Cloessner was excited to finally unveil this project. “Larry and I have been working on this project for some time. Basically, I asked Larry to spec out a GLOCK exactly how he would want it without any compromises. The Vickers/Lipsey’s Exclusive GLOCK 17’s and 19’s are the results of this request.”
