Inglorious Amateurs is now offering a limited edition Operation Jedburgh t-shirt. Screenprinted on a 60/40 blend cotton/poly Light Olive t-shirt, the design pays homage to the WWII Jedburgh teams; two-to-four man teams composed of an Officer, a native French speaker, and an enlisted radioman who assisted French Resistance groups against the Nazi occupiers. It features the “Oh So Social” moniker which poked fun at the “PhDs who can win a bar fight.” The three parachutists on the back of the shirt represent the 3 main groups who comprised a Jedburgh team: OSS, SOE and the BCRA. These Jeds are departing one of the OSS’ Special Mission “Carpetbagger” B-24s.
We have received news that Christopher Lee has shuffled off this mortal coil at the ripe old age of 93. The man led a full life including service to his country during World War II in the RAF and SOE. Later, he became an international movie star and even cut a hard rock album.
TNVC is now shipping the latest iteration of the TM-14 mount adapter for the PVS-14 night vision goggle. This TM-14 Mk. III incorporates end-user feedback to smooth the interface with the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base as well as moving the lanyard loop out from under the J-Arm; making it more accessible. The beauty of the TM14 Mk. III is that it allows users to keep both a weapon and helmet mount adapter attached to the goggle at all times, allowing instantly smooth transitions between active and passive use of the NVG.

Recover Tactical, the company behind the BC2 Grip and Rail System for Beretta 92/96 pistols, has just released a new holster designed specifically to accommodate any standard size 1911 pistol which features their CC3H Grip and Rail System. The full release is as follows:
Recover Tactical is proud to announce the release of the new Recover HC11 Tactical Holster for 1911.
The new holster is designed to fit any standard size 1911 pistol that uses Recover’s CC3H grip and rail system. The HC11 holster allows for a natural draw, comes with either a Passive or Active retention, and is compatible with most pistol rail mounted accessories (lights and lasers) on the market.
Patented Frame Locking System:
Recover’s patent pending Frame Locking System provides the option of either active or passive retention. Active retention requires the pressing of the button on the side of the holster to “unlock” and release the gun from the holster. Passive retention holds the gun in place so it will not dislodge during regular use, and will allow you to draw the firearm simply by pulling with a little extra force.
Universal Accessory Fit:
Just like Recover’s popular grip and rail systems for 1911 and Beretta, the new 1911 holster was design by world renowned Israeli weapons designer Tamir Porat (Porat also designed the IWI Tavor assault rifle).
The HC11 Holster is manufactured in Israel from the same high-grade, glass-reinforced polymer used by many polymer gun manufacturers. The holster comes with a paddle mount or can be attached to aftermarket fittings such as standard size belt loops or leg rigs.
Grip Exchange Program:
Due to design enhancements such as the Frame Locking System, the Recover HC11 holster is designed to work with Recover’s updated CC3H grip and rail system. It will not fit with Recover’s original CC3 model of grips. Therefore Recover is offering a free exchange program which allows all previous owners of the original CC3 grips to trade them in for a new set of the CC3H grips when they order the holster from www.RecoverTactical.com or any of our other retailers.
The Recover holster for the 1911 is currently available in black with more colors to be released in the coming months, and comes with a limited 3 year warranty. Retailing for only $59.99, the HC11 is one of the most beautiful and functional holsters on the market.
According to Ron Rosenberg, President of Recover Tactical, “Of all the 1911 owners that I speak with, one of their biggest requests is for a sturdy holster that enables them to switch lights or lasers on their gun without needing to have multiple holsters. With the HC11 holster’s universal accessory fit, we think we are going to make a lot of 1911 owners very happy by offering a true 24 hour holster.”
In fact, nearly all of Recover’s first holster customers have been very happy with the design and function of the new holster. Initial reviews, as well as many photos, from actual customers on Recover’s Instagram page and on popular gun forums have also proven that the HC11 holster lives up to its hype.
Features:
Universal fit for standard railed accessories.
Patent pending Frame Locking System available with either Active or Passive retention
Available for standard size 1911s that use a Recover CC3H grip and rail system.
Right-hand or Left-hand draw

Recover Tactical is also planning to release a holster for the Beretta 92/96 series and the Glock 17 later in 2015. Recover products are currently available at Cabela’s, Brownells, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Amazon and many more stores.
Today, Beyond Clothing has announced their System Builder. Essentially, it allows you to build a kit based on actual requirements derived from environmental, or temperature/activity range. Something like this has been needed for quite awhile. The concept came from the original training manual that PM SOF created for the PCU kit.
