In Memoriam – MG John K. Singlaub (USA, Ret)

Sunday, January 30th, 2022

Yesterday, Retired Army Major General John K. Singlaub passed away at the age of 100. He was a member of World War Two’s Office of Strategic Services, founding member of the Central Intelligence Agency and a Distinguished Member of the Special Forces Regiment.

John K. Singlaub was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in November 1943. As part of JEDBURGH Team JAMES, he jumped into France on 11 August 1944 to arm and direct the French resistance. Sent to China, as the commander of the PIGEON Mission, he jumped onto Hainan Island on 27 August 1945 to rescue Dutch and Australian Prisoners of War. As one of a handful of Special Operations Branch personnel retained the Strategic Services Unit (successor to the OSS), Singlaub stayed in China to report on the Civil War.

Singlaub was again involved in special operations when he was an instructor at Fort Benning, Georgia and helped to establish the Ranger Training Center in 1950. He then had two tours in Korea, including one with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Joint Advisory Commission, Korea (JACK).

Singlaub returned to special operations in from 1966-1968, when he commanded a joint unconventional warfare command, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group (MACV-SOG). Retiring in 1978, Major General Singlaub remained active in the Special Operations community and was recognized with the United States Special Operations Command’s (USSOCOM) Bull Simons award in 2011.

There’s no doubt that General Singlaub was one hell of a man, but the thing I respect him for the most is falling on his sword over the Carter Administration’s plan to pull all US troops out of South Korea which would have assuredly led to an invasion by the north. It led to his being relieved as Chief of Staff of U.S. forces in South Korea and subsequently his forced retirement.

An ardent anti-communist, he founded the Western Goals Foundation after his retirement.

His contributions to America’s security are myriad and some of his exploits can be read in his autobiography, “Hazardous Duty: An American Soldier In The Twentieth Century.”

America needs men like this. He will be missed.

May He Rest In Peace.

SHOT Show 22 – Vertx x Kyle Lamb Cubes

Friday, January 21st, 2022

I caught up with Retired Sergeant Major Kyle Lamb in the Vertx booth and he told me how happy he is to be working with Vertx on a new line of signature products starting with the Cubes which is a family of packing cubes.

Great for storage, overlanding or just travel in general these can be stacked, and smaller Cubes can be locked in place on the larger ones via their interlocking tab system to be used as a base.

Sneak Peek – TangoDown Lens Guard for AIMPOINT P2

Friday, January 21st, 2022

My friend Aaron Solich passed me some photos of this AIMPOINT P2 Lens Cover he received from TangoDown.

Here’s what Aaron had to say:

ACRO P-2 arrived today! The other item is a lens guard that I received from friend Jeff Cahill at TangoDown recently. Not only is the optic great but the lens guard is really slick and low profile. It’s machined to slide down over the recessed area that’s around the optic housing just behind the front lens and the set screw on each side screws down into the hole on each side to hold it in place. Material is anodized aluminum and it protects the front lens from impacts of things larger than the guard. Very useful for protecting the front lens if using the optic to rack the slide with something like a barrier, doorframe, etc. A little bit of insurance for the optic that should be available in the near future.

SIGHTRON Announces the New 2nd Generation S1 One-Inch Riflescope Line

Thursday, January 13th, 2022

Youngsville, NC- January 12, 2022 – SIGHTRON, one of the world’s most innovative optical observation and aiming device companies, is proud to announce the launch of the new 2nd generation S1 series of one-inch riflescopes. Built on the legacy of the original SI series, first introduced in 2002, the new S1 series is an extension of all of our experience earned over the last 20 years and applying it for the next generation of hunters and target sport enthusiasts.

SIGHTRON’s designers and engineers focused on reducing weight, improving optical design, light transmission, eye relief, and more generous sight pictures. They have accomplished all of this without resorting to exotic materials and manufacturing processes that inevitably increase prices. Staying true to industry standard zoom ranges, the team used modern optical technologies, material improvements, and looked for those “little tweaks” that make a difference. The result is a seamless transition from the original SI or other brands while benefiting from the latest in optical technology.

Each S1 riflescope uses a one-inch lightweight aircraft aluminum tube that is O-ring sealed, air purged, then filled with nitrogen gas for a waterproof and fogproof performance that will handle anything mother nature throws its way.  S1 riflescopes have SIGHTRON’s Lifetime Performance Guarantee that is backed by a team of skilled technicians. If you ever have an issue, they will get your scope working as it should or we will replace it, no charge.

NEW S1 Riflescopes:
S1 1.75-5×32 G2 with 1 reticle option
S1 3-9×40 G2 with 3 reticle options
S1 3.5-10×50 G2 with 1 reticle option
S1 4-12×40 G2 with 2 reticle options
S1 4-12×40 AO G2 (adjustable objective front focus) with 2 reticle options

Available Fall 2022. Specifications vary by model and are subject to change.
