We don’t post a whole lot of items for the ladies so when I saw this new T-shirt in Magpul’s booth, I knew it would be very popular when it hits the streets soon.
This armed hula dancer graphic is emblazoned on Magpul’s Megablend T. This pre-shrunk shirt is made from 50% Cotton, 38% Polyester, and 12% Rayon.
SKD Tactical has partnered with FirstSpear to create the STT.1 Plate Carrier, an inexpensive carrier featuring both 6/12 and Tubes technology, optimized for use with SDK’s 10×12 armor plates. SKD’s rather spirited release/product description can be read below:
Combine the technological advances of First Spear and the marketing gonads of SKD in a dirty, backseat tryst, and the only thing that could gestate is a ground-breakingly evil product like the First Spear STT (Six-Twelve-Tubes) Plate Carrier.
Add to that the ultra high performance-to-cost-ratio of the SKD Armor Level IV Plates and a re-design of the STT to fit these plates like a custom Italian suit, and voila… TACTICAL ORGASM, otherwise known as the “STT.1”.
We’ve also packaged the STT.1 with 2 SKD Armor 10×12 Level IV plates for an incredible deal at $499! Click HERE for the complete package!

Armageddon Gear and Reasor Precision Solutions have announced a manufacturing agreement which will meet market demand for the Game Changer support bag. If you’re a precision-rifle shooter, you proably either own a Game Changer, or you want one. The problem is that they haven’t bern available. All of that is changing now that Armageddon Gear is manufacturing, selling, and distributing these.
This thing is cool! You can strap it directly to your rifle and its design allows you to get a stable shooting platform on some really odd shaped perches. It will straddle roof peaks, window sills and wall tops as well as rock formations. Here, you can even see it atop an uneven tree stump.
Still not convinced? Check out this video review from a satisfied, yet unaffiliated, user.
Available in Coyote Brown, MultiCam and two-tone Coyote Brown/Ranger Green.

Magpul CORE Instructor and USMC Captain Cody Carroll broke the USMC world record parachute landing at 15000 ft MSL last November at Ama Dablam in the highest mountain range in the world, The Himalayas. He utilized a Topout Oxygeneering Ltd oxygen system and a Complete Parachute Solutions parachute system to achieve the record.
