KAC-TV: Ambi Controls
Tuesday, November 13th, 2012Savvy Sniper QUAD X Sling
Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
The Savvy Sniper QUAD X slings are designed and manufactured by an Ohio SWAT Officer and offered by Emerging Tactical Solutions. QUAD stands for Quick Universal Adjustable Deployment. These versions are constructed with AustriAlpin Cobra buckles and metal hardware throughout the sling. It is a convertible single point/2-point sling with a unique, quick adjust cuff that looks to be easy to get ahold of and easy to use. This adjustment also means no straps hanging to tangle up on gear.
It’s available as well with ITW Nexus buckles as seen in the video as well as ambidextrous models with QD and HK Hook options.

GATOR Shot Spreader
Monday, November 12th, 2012If you’re like me, you probably read everything you could about Viet Nam while growing up and remember hearing about the ‘duck bill’ attachment for the muzzle of the Mossberg designed to spread the shot in a wide horizontal pattern. USN SEAL Chief James “Patches” Watson talked about using the ‘duck bill’ in his book Point Man.
Paradigm SRP, designers of the innovative TALON gyro stabilized gun platform featured here on SSD last year, have worked to develop a modern version of that shot spreading concept fr the combat shotgun. Their creation is the Gator. It is designed to shoot #4 shot like the original as well as 00 buckshot and offers a 6 foot horizontal spread at 12 yards.
Their biggest challenge in modernizing the concept was to correct the breakage issues seen with the original model developed over 40 years ago. Additionally, they’ve improved the mounting. Unlike the duck bill which was welded on the end of the shotgun, the Paradigm Gator uses either a Saiga shotgun adapter, or an internal choke system for numerous other brands of shotguns.
One of the coolest things about the Gator is that they are giving back to the community that originally used the duck bill. A portion of proceeds will go to support the SEAL museum. Feel free to learn more at www.paradigmsrp.com/our-products/gator-shotgun-spreader.
If you’d like an opportunity to win a free Gator, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Paradigm-SRP and “like” Paradigm SRP. They will announce the winner on November 17th.
Tactical Walls
Sunday, November 11th, 2012Everything has to be ‘tactical’ these days but regardless, they seem to be an interesting concept. Kind of like a firearms version of a medicine cabinet. Thanks to Tactical Fanboy for finding these.
Tactical Walls are a great option for discreet and secure storage of your firearms and accessories. Tactical Walls install directly in the wall where they can easily be secured behind picture frames, mirrors, or in the back of a closet, and are optimized for installation with standard pine 2×4 construction which is framed 16 inches on center. They currently come in two sizes, the 1410, meant for handguns and other small accessories, and the 1440 (seen above), meant for rifles and shotguns and accompanying accessories. Both models are constructed from durable ABS plastic with foam rubber pads.

OD Slings are Back at Blue Force Gear
Wednesday, November 7th, 2012
Despite a mass shortage of Olive Drab webbing, Blue Force Gear managed to source enough material to make a few Vickers Slings for all you hardcore OD fans. OD Slings are currently available in padded and unpadded options. The Padded VCAS is my go-to sling. I’ve tried a lot of different slings out but find myself going back to the BFG VCAS time after time.
Magwear
Wednesday, November 7th, 2012
Magwear is a wrist mounted workspace to store small metallic (iron based) parts. They stay put thanks to a rare earth magnet embedded in the base of the platform. The wrist strap is fully adjustable and can be just as handy for small weapon parts as well as other chores.
