One of the best ads I’ve ever seen.
This ad was created for the comic book “The Activity” which offers, at least from the visual standpoint, some very realistic looks at the equipment used by special operators. The characters in the book wear Crye and like the ad says, “Heroes Need Costumes.” Crye Precision makes some of the best gear there is, and it’s worn by many a hero.
This is our 8000th post. Number 7000 was at the beginning of January so we’ve slacked off a little here lately it seems, but we promise not to let you down. We’re in this for the long haul. Our next big stepping stone is our 5th Anniversary in May so look for something cool from us to you then.
Randal Hedrick from Atlantic Signal stops by at Warrior Expo West to talk about the Dominator II Headset with the Warfighter comms package.

Gun Culture 2.0 was in full effect. It was a fun day with lots of great folks. I really enjoyed meeting so many new (and old) 2A supporters.
Thanks to all of the sponsors and especially Snake Hound Machine
Recently, you’ve heard a lot about Patriot’s Day, but what is it?
Painting – ‘My Brother Has Been Shot’ by William Barnes Wollen
It commemorates the initial battle of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord Massachusetts, on 19 April, 1775, over a year before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Paul Revere’s ride to warn his fellow patriots and this ‘Shot heard round the world’ have been passed down in story and song from generation to generation.
April 19th remains an important date not only for the nation, but in particular for the US Army and the National Guard as the militia, made up of Citizen-Soldiers, fought a feint to maintain their weapons and ammunition that had been recently moved from the magazine at Concord to other, safe locations.
As the initial volleys of fire were exchanged near daybreak at Lexington, colonial volunteers fell back in the face of over 500 occupying British troops. But as the battle moved on to Concord the tide turned and the redcoats were routed as more and more colonists joined the fray.
As the British troops withdrew through Concord they were reinforced creating a force of 1700, yet they remained no match for the determined colonists who forced them to retreat to the safety of Charlestown. The militiamen continued their pursuit which transformed into the Siege of Boston.
Today, we remember those that sacrificed everything they were to give us our freedoms and this great land.
We hope that those injured in the Boston Marathon explosions did not sustain any serious injuries and that there are no fatalities.
Based on the significance of this date I believe that this terrible act was perpetrated by domestic actors. In the end, it doesn’t matter. Whomever committed this reprehensible act is an enemy.
Shady Mags were produced to help the family of a great guy who lost his life while serving his country.
Production of these modified PMAGs was a collaborative effort by Magpul, TenPoundMonkey, UberGroup and AAC and should be available through Mission Ready Equipment, Tactical Distributors and GSS Gear by next week.
In honor of moving into their new facility, High Threat Concealment has introduced a 15% on online orders by using code “SSD15”. I’m a big fan of their Low Profile System.
