Magpul – MOE TPS 1911 Grip Panels

Thursday, October 9th, 2014

MAG544 1911 Grip Panels TSP 2

The MOE TSP (Trapezoidal Surface Projections) 1911 Grip Panels are an evolution of the original MOE 1911 Grip Panels. Constructed of reinforced polymer, the grips feature a unique diamond-shaped cross-section which prevents twisting in the hand. Also featured on the MOE TSP Grip Panels is an aggressive magazine release cut-out, aggressive TSP texture for positive control, and compatibility with ambidextrous safeties. The grips are designed to fit full sized framed 1911s with standard grip screw bushings.

Sneak Peak – Grey Ghost Precision Prototype Rifle

GGP-rifle during SWC training 2

This Grey Ghost Precision prototype rifle has recently finished a grueling train-up cycle (including SWC), and will soon be heading off to Afghanistan where a specialized unit given a bit of leeway with their weapon selection will be putting it through the ropes, so to speak.

Remember, nothing made by Grey Ghost goes commercial until it’s proven itself on a combat deployment.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – R37 Rifle Wrap

Friday, October 3rd, 2014

Each week we focus on a different FirstSpear product and I’ve been wanting to share the R37 Rifle Wrap but we needed the right combination of photos and video to really show you what was up with it. Looks like the AV club at FS really came through this time.

It does so much; shooting mat, weapons case, drag bag.

Its exterior incorporates attachment points for 3D camouflage to aid in signature disruption and a reinforced webbing attachment point for drag and haul straps located at the forward taper of the wraps exterior.

The R37 can be transported by the FS 2” Standard Break-Away Sling, ECP Shoulder Straps or our Padded Speed Bag Shoulder Straps.

The Rifle Wrap can transport long-guns or carbines with a simple folding procedure.

When laid out flat the R37 is a comfortable pad to shoot from and two 6/12 pocket attachment fields provide area for optional pockets to store Binos, Wind Gauges and other essential items of target engagement.

The FirstSpear Exigent Circumstance Pack can be attached to the outside of the Rifle Wrap to give you some sustainment capability.

There are a lot of cool features in this design but the Tubes on the handles make it very adaptable for different weapons because you can alter the balance point. In addition to the different length configurations, you need to know that it is sized to fit into a variety of hard sided weapons storage cases. The ECP can also be attached to the exterior of the R37 during transport (ideally when your wearing the R37 as a backpack.)

Offered in Black, Coyote, ranger Green and MultiCam.

Now for the special offer. When you buy the R37 Rifle Wrap this weekend FS will ship it with a free Blast Mat (Black or Coyote) which attaches directly to the wide end of the R37 Rifle Wrap and is designed to take the brunt of muzzle blast and keep dust and debris from flying up. The corners can be weighted down to keep it in place. No code necessary.

“AK vs AR”: The Musical

Wednesday, October 1st, 2014

IMG_7808.JPG

Ok, so it’s not really a musical, but “AK vs AR” is a magazine. I’m not quite sure how well my favorite internet kerfuffle is going to translate unto the printed page. After all, where will you post your comments regarding your favorite platform? Who will be there to listen to you pontificate on your experience with you favored platform? Let’s face it, a magazine based on everyone’s Internet straw man doesn’t sound like much fun at all. But, there are some cool articles in this special interest publication including a head to head competition with the AK and AR conducted by some very righteous dudes.

What’s next, “9mm vs .45?”

Manta showed us a new product during the recent Modern Day Marine expo. Truth be told, I thought it was a beer cozy. But they showed me what it was really for.
