The Lochi is a reversible insulation piece that utilizes 60 fill Polartec Alpha combined with a 40D Milliken shell. When you wear it on the “civilian” side there’s no color flash. For example, the mission side of the hood is Coyote rather than MultiCam. The Lochi integrates two slash handwarmer pockets on either side with an additional zippered chest pocket on the Mission side.
The Mission model is Black / MultiCam. Also available in Manatee Grey / Navy Blue on the commercial side. Coming June 2015.
Chris Adams told me this is the dumbest product he’s ever done but that it works and he’ll sell a bunch of them.
It’s a traditional Flexfit ball cap with Velcro fields on the front, sides and rear. Additionally, you get the Cejay Emgineering battery powered light with mount along with a finger light and mount. The finger light doubles as a beacon. The lights are removable and can be used in a variety of applications.
Offered in Tan, Black, Grey and Hunter Orange. Coming next month from www.adamsindustries.com.
Grayl is a portable water filtration system which functions similarly to a French Press. It consists of an 18/8 stainless steel inner ‘press’ cup, the filter which attaches to the inner cup, and the BPA-free plastic outer cup. The user fills the outer cup with water, then presses the inner cup into the outer cup, where the water is then filtered and delivered into the inner cup.
Grayl offers multiple filters for use with the system. Their strongest filter, the Travel purifier, utilizes a patented triple-charged mesh which traps pathogens, natural carbon (made from coconut shells) which traps heavy metals and chemicals, and an integrated anti-microbial agent which suppresses the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. It is guaranteed to improve taste and smell of filtered water, along with filtering out 99.999% or more of bacteria, protozoan cysts, and viruses.
Saigon, the capitol of the Republic of Viet Nam, fell 40 years ago today on 30 April, 1975 to invading North Viet Namese troops after decades of fighting. Seen below is an image of the evacuation of Saigon. There are so many iconic images from that war but this one shows us the end of the struggle.
Viet Nam was very much a part of our national psyche as I grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s and affected me in may ways. When I enlisted in 1985 my drill sergeant was a Viet Nam veteran as were most of the senior NCOs and Officers I worked for over the next decade. Much of what I learned about soldiering came from them and their hard earned lessons of fighting a very capable enemy. I owe them all much.
I’d like to take today to reflect on them, their service and the generation that raised me, including my father. I’d also like to raise a toast to those who fell during that conflict in defense of our ideals.
Thank you all for your dedication. I personally gained a lot from it and it was not in vain.

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-performance illumination tools, suppressors, and tactical products, has begun accepting orders for the latest model in its high-performance line of SOCOM Fast-Attach® sound suppressors. The new SOCOM300-SPS is the quietest suppressor ever built for 300 Black Out (subsonic and supersonic), .308 and 300 Win Mag. This versatile suppressor is also very effective in suppressing the 5.56mm cartridge.
The SOCOM300-SPS owes its sound-suppressing prowess to highly specialized baffles creating a longer dwell time within the suppressor and achieving unprecedented levels of sound attenuation. The suppressor is constructed of Inconel, an advanced high-temperature alloy, and stainless steel, and it typically adds only 6 inches to the length of a weapon. Computer-controlled welding enhances the suppressor’s overall durability, as does a corrosion-resistant coating of Ionbond DLC and Cerakote™ ceramic finish. In fact, the SOCOM300 SPS, like all SureFire SOCOM Series suppressors, is durable enough for full time use and designed to typically outlast the weapon barrel to which it attaches.
A precision indexing system ensures that the suppressor mounts to a compatible SureFire SOCOM series adapter—which also serves as a high-performance muzzle brake or flash hider when the weapon is unsuppressed—securely and with perfect alignment every time. This patented no-tools Fast-Attach system also makes the suppressor easy to remove after extended firing because the index tab is located in a low-carbon-buildup area. Like all SureFire SOCOM suppressors, the SOCOM300-SPS produces minimal and consistent point-of-impact shift compared with the unsuppressed weapon, regardless of the number of times the suppressor is attached and detached to and from the weapon.
The SOCOM300-SPS suppressor is available in two colors—Black and Dark Earth—and has an MSRP of $1075. It is available for purchase in states that allow suppressor ownership through authorized SureFire suppressor dealers. For complete product information visit: www.surefire.com/socom300-sps-2
