Coming soon to Kickstarter is the Weatherneck, from the same folks who brought you Fix It Stix, used by many to maintain their firearms. Billed as the Breakaway Balaclava, the Weatherneck uses magnets to transform from a cap to a full balaclava.
Specifically designed to minimize fogging and provide just enough protection to get the job done, it will be offered in Black. Made in USA!

Larry Vickers recently posted this photo he found on the internet to demonstrate what might be in a future limited edition Lipsey’s/Vickers Tactical Glock.
He offered this explanation:
Ok so one idea that kicked around for a future Lipseys -Vickers Glock is a plum frame; the idea behind this is ( as the story goes) when the Soviets first tried to make black polymer for the AK it came out funky and more plum. Since the Glock is the AK of pistols a nice dark plum frame would be cool on a future run. We are thinking to match the Magpul plum to make everyone happy; it’s not as dark plum as some of the Soviet stuff but is darker than other shades of plum in the AK market. This pic is a frame that has been painted to match but I include it for your consideration; the pic is not mine as I found it on the internet.
The new Light Portal Front Sight (FFA-02) from TangoDown is pretty awesome. It’s a combination weapon light mount and front sight; all in one compact package. The FFA-02 was developed to give shooters the ability to place a weapon light on the 12:00 rail without obstructing the front sight. I’ve done this in the past using a SureFire X300 on a rifle which incorporates an FSP, but I haven’t tried it with an XC-1, yet. Now, I’ll have to give it a shot.
This weapon light mount accommodates the SureFire XC-1 Pistol Light, creating a lightweight option if you’re looking to reduce the weight on your carbine. Maintaining a hand forward shooting position makes activating the XC-1 weapon light easy and quick. For use with low-profile gas block barrels only. Does not work with standard barrel-mounted M16/M4 fixed front sights.

This is the Gerber Center Drive, a brand-new made-in-the-USA multitool that’s launching today, and Gerber sent us a pre-production model a few days ahead of the launch to check it out.
The Center Drive is manufactured from stainless steel, and features 14 individual tools within its frame.
The pliers are spring loaded, and are released upward via a side-mounted sliding button, purposely designed for one-thumb activation, rather than the swing open design on traditional multitools.
The pliers consist of a needle nose point with a standard center, as well as rotatable carbide wire cutters and a wire stripper.
The main blade on the Center Drive is a 3.25″ fine edge blade. According to Gerber, this blade is “30% larger than the competition”; press materials use the main blade on the Leatherman OHT for the size comparison. The blade also locks into place when fully extended via a tension lockbar.
The opposite arm of the Center Drive features the following tools:
These tools lock into place when fully extended and can be retracted by using a thumb-break slide release on the opposite side of the arm, which also incorporates a lanyard hole. The arm opposite this one features both a 3″ ruler as well as an 8cm ruler.
Easily the most impressive feature of the Center Drive is the tool of its namesake, the full-size center axis driver. Unlike traditional multitools, which typically feature a lower profile driver, the Center Drive’s driver juts out of the tool’s frame 3.25″ and curves inward towards the center axis, allowing for improved torque and rotation. The center axis driver features a magnetic attachment head, which supports any number of standard bits. Like the blade, the center axis driver locks into place via a tension lockbar.
The Center Drive also features this bit storage slot which snaps into place within the frame and rotates outward, allowing quick access to a second bit. By default, it comes with a flat head bit already inserted.
The Center Drive comes with a 12-bit kit, in addition to the Phillip’s head and flat head bits that are already included with the tool. It also comes complete with a nylon and elastic sheath which accommodates both the Center Drive and the bit set. The sheath can be mounted by the rear to a belt either vertically or horizontally via its rear straps.
By Gerber’s own admission, unlike the Center Drive itself, both the bit set and pouch are made in China. Regardless, the tool itself is USA-made, and it has a host of great features that should make for an excellent option for EDC or just a functional backup tool.
