Although a Glock, Robert Isn’t a Part of GLOCK

Thanks to a mutual friend with ITS Tactical, we just found out that South Florida UAV manufacturer, United Drones is using the ITS Tactical logo on one of its products. See below.
What do you think? In our opinion, ITS has worked hard to establish that icon as a source of recognition. Its use by United Drones is uncool. ITS Tactical has asked them to stop, to no avail. Hopefully, this next round of legal pressure will get United Drones to stop.
Thanks BH
Craig “Sawman” Sawyer Joins Raine Inc for Special Operation Forces & Battlefield Solutions
Monday, November 5th, 2012Raine Inc is doing some really great, innovative stuff. They’ve brought new people on board and released new designs. And now, they’ve announced the addition of Former Navy SEAL Craig “Sawman”Sawyer to their team where he’ll assist with product development. Sawyer began his career as a Marine and later joined the Navy to become a SEAL serving at SEAL Team 1 and at DEVGRU. After retiring from leaving the Navy he served as a high threat mobile security contractor and in federal law enforcement. More recently he has worked with the entertainment industry as a technical advisor and military/firearms expert on popular productions such as History Channels “Top Shot” and the Military Channel’s “Deadliest Sniper”.
Raine Inc. is very proud to have such a fine warrior on its team. With new developments in our Raine Inc. fighting kit, Craig has already begun putting his stamp on various products and processes. The battlefield can be a tricky place that is ever evolving. Craig and Raine Inc. see solutions to these challenges through current and relevant experience. This serves our clients when they need it most, in action. As special operations and unconventional warfare continue to evolve, we will meet the needs of our warriors with real solutions designed by warriors, for warriors. Looking forward, Craig will be involved in all aspects of product development, design, marketing and education of Raine products. “Lighter, Faster, Stronger” is our mindset and Craig will help us continue to move in that direction.

MATBOCK One Year On
Monday, November 5th, 2012In honor of their One year anniversary, MATBOCK asked us to share this statement. It’s a little unconventional for us, but it includes two cool things. One is a preview of an upcoming product that we’ve been trying out and the second is a discount for our readers.
In November of 2011, we officially launched our products to the market with the release of the Constrictor Cargo System, Tree-GO IZLID pouch and most recently, the LIFT System. To date, the LIFT System is undoubtably our greatest product with its lightweight design and versatility, all developed with the modern day warrior in mind. At only 3.5 lbs, no other system can come close to what the LIFT System is currently providing to the battlefield and we have new features in the final stages of T&E.
To help celebrate MATBOCK’s 1yr anniversary, we are offering an exclusive 10% discount for all SSD readers. Please just enter “SSD10” during checkout to receive your 10% discount. This coupon code will be good for the entire month of November. In addition to this great discount, MATBOCK will also release new products in the coming weeks here on SSD. Follow us at www.matbock.com, on Facebook, and stay tuned to SSD for further details.
Here is a sneak peak of one product that is still in the final stages of T&E. The next great evolution for Night Vision is here.

Free Shipping from TD Starting Nov 5th
Sunday, November 4th, 2012I already thought it was cool of Tactical Distributors to automatically upgrade ground shipping to overnight but now they are offering an even better deal.
Order over $75 and receive free shipping! Not shabby. Starts tomorrow. Naturally, some restrictions apply.
Kletterwerks Update
Sunday, November 4th, 2012In early summer we introduced you to Kletterwerks; the latest project from the folks at Mystery Ranch. You see, way back in 1975, long before there was a Mystery Ranch or even a Dana Designs, there was Kletterwerks. Although short lived it was founder Dana Gleason’s first foray into the pack business. Since then he’s learned a thing or two while running those other companies we know so well. Resurrected earlier this year, Kletterwerks is now the baby of the Dana Gleason III, better known as D3. Really more of a lifestyle brand, they’ve taken design cues from those early packs and updated materials and construction. I saw the line at Summer OR and it looks great.
Now, they’ve launched a website so you can stay abreast of what they are up to. While there, check out the line and maybe order a pack or two.
HSP Blog Reboot
Thursday, November 1st, 2012Travis Haley gives us a vlog update on what he’s been up to and where Haley Strategic Partners is going. A couple of interesting notes. One is the advent of Disruptive Science or D5 and the upcoming new course, Fluid Kinesthetic Awareness which will concentrate on how the body employs a weapon in a variety of positions.
HSP is dedicated to working with other companies through their Disruptive Industries program as well as codevelopment of products directly with their industry affiliates. The message from Travis Haley? Look for new products this coming year. Based on this, something stood out in the video that I found very interesting. Haley briefly flashed this image. Could it be a new Bravo Company rifle? Maybe an HSP rifle?
Finally, Haley also urges folks to support the MARSOC Foundation.
