ADS Federal Range Day – Force N Force

Friday, May 16th, 2014

Force N Force is a brand under ATK Speer LE that deals in training and simulation rounds. Their range of 9mm training cartridges comes in blanks and marking and unmarking. The marking rounds utilize a glycerine-base which easily cleans off surfaces and clothing.

They also manufacture their own drop-in bolts for AR-15 style rifles along with 5.56 training ammunition. This training ammo also works with simulation rifles.

All their cartridges are primer only, which reduces report and introduces no fouling to the firearm. Force N Force ammunition also has a 1 ft safety distance for all ammo.

High Threat Concealment – Custom LF-P40 Holster

Thursday, May 15th, 2014

About two years ago at SHOT Show 2013 I received an unexpected gift from my friend, Dave Reeder. At the time, it was a bit of a unicorn, a Legion Firearms LF-P40. It’s a unique .40 cal 1911 variant built specifically for Legion Firearm by STI. It’s a beefy gun with a double stack magazine, and lots of angles. I’ve never had a holster for it, until now.

Today, I was invited to visit High Threat Concealment to check out their recently expanded shop, and they asked me to bring the pistol along. While I was there, they made a custom Kydex holster for the LF-P40. As you can see from the images, the holster is a perfect fit, right down to Legion’s signature honeycomb pattern on the slide.

Survival Grips

Monday, May 12th, 2014

Survival Grips are designed to create more stability and control over the front of the firearm with the hand and fingers locked into the grip. According to the manufacturer, use of Survival Grips make losing control over one’s firearm in the even to a struggle or accident almost impossible.

The grip is made from Polycarbonate and mounts to a Picatinny rail. The finger guard – made from aircraft grade 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, is completely removable from the grip. As the removable finger guard resembles a set of knuckledusters, the manufacturer can ship the grip without removable finger guard if the customer lives in a restrictive state.

Blue Force Gear – Vickers Combat Applications Sling Now In Kryptek Patterns

Friday, May 9th, 2014

Blue Force Gear is now offering the proven Vickers Combat Applications Sling, as well as the 221 sling, in Kryptek Typhon and Highlander.

The overall length of the VCAS is adjustable to accommodate different sized weapons. Triglides are included on the front and back of the sling to attach directly to sling swivels, loops, slots, or other mounting solutions.

By disengaging the RED swivel knob from the included button push swivel and reinserting it into the Molded Burnsed Socket on the webbing towards the rear, the 221 converts into a one point sling while retaining the instantaneous adjustment of the VCAS.

3HGR Durability Testing

Thursday, May 8th, 2014

In response to questions regarding the durability of the 3HGR, mainly if the gun rest can stand up to recoil and how durable the locks are, Treaper Ltd released this video which puts the sling through a battery of increasingly destructive tests, showing that the 3HGR is plenty capable of taking a beating, much less handling weapon recoil.
