ITS Launches Discreet Messenger Bag

Saturday, June 24th, 2023

[ARLINGTON, TX, 06/23/2023] Imminent Threat Solutions is proud to release the All-New Discreet Messenger Bag®. This next generation design offers more features and functionality than ever before, while blending in seamlessly with your surroundings.

For quick access to your components, the lid of the Discreet Messenger Bag® utilizes an innovative and magnetic FIDLOCK® Buckle closure. With a quick pull down on the webbing handle, the bag can be opened one-handed, as well as quickly closed by just letting the magnet do its job. The dual magnetic lid docking points allow you to expand the storage of the DMB when necessary.

The front of the bag features an ambidextrous loop-lined pocket, accessible from both sides, even if the main flap is closed. Each side of this pocket features our revolutionary ReadyZip™ System, which offers both a magnetic zipper for temporary closure, allowing lightning-fast retrieval of items stored inside, as well as a traditional waterproof zipper for secure outer closure on-the-go.

The desire for a more comfortable shoulder strap led us to lean on our climbing experience and create a custom, soft double-layer tubular nylon shoulder strap that checks the all-day-comfort box, without the need for a shoulder pad. All this while still allowing easy adjustment and the bombproof strength of climbing webbing.

For durability and weatherproofness, the DMB uses a 600D TPU fabric, which is insanely resilient and eco-friendly. A fully padded construction means that your gear stays protected on all sides. The exterior Storm Grey color offers a subdued appearance, while the interior Blaze Orange color ensures maximum visibility for locating your contents.

In addition to the ambidextrous loop-lined exterior pocket, the main interior of the bag features 7 additional pockets; one laptop-sized pocket (up to 15”), two water bottle pockets, two slim pockets and two standard pockets. The standard pockets perfectly fit our ITS Nylon Zip Bags, which can be labeled with the ITS Nylon Zip Bag Identifier Patch Kit for fast retrieval of components.

Imminent Threat Solutions provides indispensable skill-sets and products to explore your world and prevail against all threats.

KAK Industry K-SPEC BCG

Friday, June 23rd, 2023

The K-SPEC BCG combines multiple key features focused on increasing the reliability of your AR15 style firearm no matter if you are running suppressed or unsuppressed, and regardless of conditions. The K-SPEC is a truly plug and play BCG that will accommodate whatever configuration your mission requires.

For those running suppressed, the K-SPEC requires no additional tuning or tweaking of the gas or recoil systems to run reliably. Like all KAK BCGs, the K-SPEC is machined to the M16 full auto profile.

Both the K-SPEC Carrier and K-SPEC Bolt are backwards compatible with all standard mil-spec BCG components. The K-SPEC bolt can be used in any AR15 style direct impingement system, and the K-SPEC Carrier will function perfectly with any standard AR15 bolt.

Because we manufacture our BCG components in house and do not rely on outsourcing, KAK is able to offer the K-SPEC complete BCGs and components in over 50 combinations from 5.56 NATO all the way to .458 SOCOM, in multiple finishes, and left-hand versions as well.

? Slotted Angled Carrier Rails

For enhanced functionality in adverse and rugged conditions such as sand, mud, dirt, and grime. These rail cuts are designed for debris disbursement, resulting in ultra-high functionality in the toughest conditions, including suppressor fouling and foreign contaminates. Strategically located angle cuts in the rails result in fouling and debris being moved into noncritical areas that are not in contact with the receiver and do not affect the function of the firearm.

? Downward Gas Vents

In an effort to reduce the amount of debris and gas vented towards the shooters face, the two standard gas relief ports have been relocated from the ejection port side of the K-SPEC carrier and placed underneath, in the magazine feed lip channels. Two additional emergency relief ports have also been added to the bottom of the carrier to mitigate structural damage in the event of a case head separation. Testing has shown that venting the gasses through the magazine well has no negative impact on the feeding or function of the magazine nor ammunition, and any added heat is negligible. A quick side by side comparison video of a standard BCG and the K-SPEC BCG can be viewed HERE. *Note, standard BCG on top (lots of gas to face) and K-SPEC BCG on bottom (no gas to face).

Dual ejectors

The K-SPEC dual ejector system uses mil-spec ejectors and springs that require no proprietary parts. Ejector holes are centered on the lugs to avoid any reduction in strength of the bolt. The dual ejector system increases the ejection reliability and adds consistency to the ejection pattern. KAK Industry has been manufacturing dual ejector bolts for the AR10/LR308 platform for over a decade and has used that experience to create a durable and reliable dual ejector system for the AR15 platform.

Eco Defense Group Uses StarLink to Stop Poachers

Friday, June 23rd, 2023

Eco Defense Group is a unique consultancy designed to develop and implement solutions in areas of poaching crisis in Africa.

In the past, they’ve created, supplied and mentored marine and special operations units, built and guided training programs, partnered with the most important parks in Africa and even helped firefighters jump out of helicopters on fast ropes. We’ve just been shown that this past month, Eco Defense Group has taken an interesting step to use satellites — and the ingenuity of Elon Musk — to make possible communications where they have never before been available.

Pursuing a unique partnership last month, the non profit deployed field teams to remote areas of national parks in Africa with portable Starlink devices to aide in countering specific poaching crises. Where they go, even the group can’t admit to—and that’s the point of how effective.

Certain areas in Southern Africa are wild — truly wild — and necessarily the home of the endangered and threatened species that wildlife Rangers professionals work tirelessly to protect. In these areas, infrastructure is limited, communications sometimes impossible and the execution of counter-poaching strategies to defend wildlife can be remarkable difficult, even with the training and tools that groups like Eco Defense Group provide.

Now the group has started to deliver sponsored Starlink devices as the Starlink “Constellation” has begun to glitter the night sky over Africa. One can imagine that this will be a game changer for wildlife protection along with a variety of unconsidered industries working in remote places.

Eco Defense Group is one of the more innovative non-profits that we’ve seen (even if you rarely see much of them), and this kind of intelligent thinking is exactly why they are both effective and invisible.

The modern world, having ignored the crisis of African animals that are being poached to extinction, has arguably now offered a tool that could, in places, change the game against the poachers that seek rhino, lion, elephant and other species for black market exploitation.

Bushnell and RCBS Pro Robert Brantley Takes Top Tactical at 2023 K&M Kahles PRS Match

Thursday, June 22nd, 2023

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – June 21, 2023 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, along with RCBS®, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, congratulates pro shooter Robert Brantley for taking first place in the Tactical Division at 2023 K&M Kahles Precision Rifle Competition. Brantley, who used an Elite Tactical XRS3 riflescope to secure the win, has now won Top Tactical in back-to-back PRS events.

“This year’s match was incredibly difficult, with lots of targets unforgiving of any scope that doesn’t track or hold zero,” said Brantley. “However, with the Elite Tactical XRS3 these things were a non-issue and the G4P reticle allowed me to easily hold on the smallest of targets. The mover holds on the G4P also lined up perfectly, making light work of the three stages with moving targets.”

Brantley, who opted to use a new competition rig chambered in .308, mounted the rifle with a new scope three weeks before the match. Despite not having used either the rifle or scope in competition, his confidence remained high.

“I enjoy shooting the .308 as it doesn’t mask any of your flaws and forces you to stay in it,” said Brantley. “You must nail your wind calls, manage recoil and account for the drop in the heavier load. When shooting Tac, my goal is to always try and finish within the top ten of the Open winner. Having quality gear that you can rely on makes this a possibility.”

Brantley also relied on his RCBS reloading setup to prepare for the match, including his Rock Chucker® Supreme Press, MatchMaster Dies, Bench Primer, Case Prep Center, Chargemaster Supreme powder dispenser, and Ultrasonic Case Cleaner.

“My RCBS reloading setup is great because it helps me tailor my ammunition to my exact needs,” Brantley said. “I have more control over every detail so I can trust my ammunition will be consistent and accurate.”
