Sunday, January 18th, 2015Get This – .300 Blk Krink Collab Between Rifle Dynamics and SilencerCo
Sunday, January 18th, 2015
That’s right, Rifle Dynamics and SilencerCo have come together to offer a Krink in .300 Blackout. What with the 7.62 x 39, you might wonder why even bother. According to RD’s Billy Cho, the decision was made in order to utilize subsonic ammo along with SilencerCo’s suppressor.
They’re staying mum about where the barrels came from but they will share that they are 1/7 twist. 9.25 inch barrel.
Cho also related that they aren’t over gassing these guns. They are optimized for use with suppressors and won’t cycle unsuppressed with subsonic ammo.
Right now these are being produced as a limited run of 25 as a package deal with Silencerco. But, Cho went on to say, “We will also be releasing a batch of suppressor optimized 7.62 and 5.45 guns that are basically our 700/500 series guns. Which are currently the ideal way to run suppressed.”
You can see samples of most of Rifle Dunamics’ guns they are doing with SilencerCo at their booth during SHOT show. This includes the Saiga 12 “cho-gun” RD built for SilencerCo’s Salvo12 suppressor and the new Vepr12/Saiga12 Salvo adapter.

Whiskey 5 – DSGI
Saturday, January 17th, 2015Who:
Founded in 1995, Defense Solutions Group, Inc. (DSGI) is a privately owned U.S. Corporation serving Law Enforcement, Defense, Aerospace Industries, and the Shooting Sports. DSGI supports individual military and law enforcement personnel and the rapidly expanding civilian shooting sports markets through the retail company DSG Arms.
DSGI currently sponsors 3-Gun and Tactical Shooting Matches around Texas and the U.S. These efforts also include sponsorship of DSG’s own fleet of competitive shooters in addition to material support for other professional, collegiate and amateur shooters and teams.
What:
DSGI provides information products as well as manufactured goods under various DSGI brand names. Additionally the company distributes other high end brands of weapons components, optics, body armor and tactical gear to government, wholesale, and retail. DSGI’s information services development began in 1995 to provide the Aerospace and Defense industries with an easily accessible method of researching inventory availability as well as current and historical data about aerospace and defense related component purchases used in support of Air Transportation and U.S. Defense capabilities, via the internet.
Familiarity with current information technology coupled with in-house knowledge of the innovations made in weapons and equipment in the years prior to 9/11 allowed DSGI to transition seamlessly into direct military supply.
Today DSGI not only delivers the very best in brands and technology to the U.S. Military, but has also expanded its presence in Law Enforcement agency support while maintaining a large wholesale distribution network.
Where:
Through the retail website www.dsgarms.com, DSGI supports US Government operations as well as a growing audience of civilians and competitive shooters all over the US and many LE departments in Texas and surrounding states.
Our customers include United States Army Special Operations Command, Naval Special Warfare Command, Joint Special Operations Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DSS), Special Operations Group (SOG), U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Embassies around the globe, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Texas Department of Public Safety, SWAT, Texas Ranger Division – Border Operations, Federal Air Marshal Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) and many more.
When:
Founded in 1995.
Why:
In recent years technology and innovation in individual weapon systems and operational gear has evolved at a historically rapid pace. Operators today have different requirements and the equipment needed to meet those requirements can be very specific. Gear that was useful just a short time ago may have already been eclipsed in utility and durability by new products and DSGI maintains a constant presence in choosing the very best.
Our customers’ commitment to their mission drives our efforts to provide only high-end operational equipment choices. DSGI offers some of the very best selections related to weapons, components, armor, optics, eye protection, cleaning and maintenance products and more via its GSA Multi-Award Schedule Contract GS-07F-6007R.
DSGI understands that many purchasing responsibilities also fall on the individual Operator, Soldier or Law Enforcement Officer and DSGI, via DSG Arms, supports these individual purchasers with many of the same product choices offered directly to the government. Special discounted pricing is available to each and every active duty Military and Law Enforcement professional.
The same quick service and solid customer support is extended to our largest and smallest customers alike.
Product selection is key. Utility, innovation and durability drive the products we choose to offer our valued customers. At the same time emphasis is placed on the integrity and commitment to DSGI of the supplier and its support of our Fighting Forces and U.S. citizens.
DSGI strives to provide the most innovative and durable high-end parts and accessories for the AR15 & M4 family of weapons as well as active wear, gear and boots. With a 70,000 sq. ft. campus, DSG’s massive on-site inventory, pro-active shipping, and super-responsive sales staff has created a large and loyal customer following based on superior selection and service.
Gunfighter Moment – Daryl Holland 
Saturday, January 17th, 2015
Streamline your kit and don’t be that guy with the floppy leg holster, soon to lose his pistol when he really has to run for it!
Why wouldn’t you want a streamlined kit? Sure, cover the vital body parts of the head and torso. However, don’t become a Kevlar turtle because mobility and speed are extremely critical in a gunfight without even getting into marksmanship capabilities. For what’s at stake, you would think that everybody wants a lighter and more streamlined kit. If it’s not the heavier weight slowing you down and humbling you or adding more wear and tear to the body, I t’s that there is always something to climb over in an urban environment. I’ve been told that around 80% of the world’s population lives around the urban environment. During my time as a sniper, weight became a high consideration due to climbing into position before the assault, which meant roof tops most of the time. I’ve been on dozens of roof tops in Baghdad alone. Even as an Assault Team Leader, every suspect had a wall or fence to climb over.
I like seeing that Bravo Company Manufacturing & Blue Force Gear have done their research, with hands on experienced personnel helping design gear for the current day battlefield that keep our operators on the leading edge of kit. Several colors and options help modify to your own specific needs and easily changed out to meet the next mission requirements.
If I was putting my kit on with the chance of a gun fight, I’d consider taking kit off my legs and wear a drop holster on my belt. Before going out on a mission after modifying your kit, you should always test it by jumping up and down, running and not just jogging, but like your life depended on it. If you’re a garage sale afterward, then adjust as necessary.
Respectfully, Daryl Holland
