A Video Game Inspired Product That You Can Buy

Monday, August 20th, 2012

Master leathersmith David Vigil has crafted this impressive gun holster for Vigilante Leather, inspired by the one used by Nathan Drake in the PS3-exclusive ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’. The design closely matches the in-game model in both metalwork and the dye job used to treat the leather; a model dyed in black with gunmetal-colored metalwork is also available upon request. 8 buckles, 2 to each strap, allow for easy fitting, with an option for custom fitting if required. Additionally, every holster is waterproofed and stress tested, insuring full functionality in any situation. Simply put, it’s a piece that’s usable for way more than just cosplay.

Available in limited quantities from David Vigil on Etsy.

Spartan Village Mid Ride Holster

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

The days of full on drop leg rigs are over. Rather, Many shooters come up with various ways to modify their holsters so that they ride in a mid position, below the belt line. Spartan Village recognizes this and has developed a dedicated solution in their Mid Ride Holster. Their holster allows the proper clearance needed when the shooter is wearing a plate carrier, chest rig, or tactical vest that has pouches or other gear mounted above where their holster would usually sit. But, they also realize that this lower ride means some movement so they’ve also incorporated a leg strap.

The lower ride height allows for a proper and confident draw without the worry of other gear getting in the way. The Spartan Village Mid Ride Holster is also available in weapon mounted light configurations supporting the more widely used weapon lights such as the Surefire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1. Check the site for specific models available.

The Firearm Blog Reports French to Adopt HK416

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

This is a Norwegian issue HK416

The Firearm Blog has posted a story that the French Army is preparing to drop the home grown FAMAS (Fusil d’Assaut de la Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne) F1 bullpup design in use since the 70s for the piston driven HK416. Due to their unofficial source they have advised all to treat it as rumor for now.

FAMAS F1

One interesting factoid about the FAMAS is that the French have to use steel cases ammo with it due to its delayed blowback design that is is too rough on brass cases.

Some Amplification on Info Regarding the Baseplate for the Upcoming M3 PMAG from Magpul

Monday, August 13th, 2012

Last week I published an article with lots of great info on Magpul’s upcoming M3 PMAG. Originally, Magpul had planned on offering a standard baseplate (or floorplate) as well as an accessory ‘slimline’ baseplate. However, they’ve abandoned this approach and gone with an all new, single design.

Here you can see the original design.

And the new style. Notice the improved interface between baseplate and magazine body.

I’ve had a couple of offline discussions about the new baseplate design and I keep hearing people use the term “compromise” when they ask me about it. Well, I’m going to throw that word right out of the window because to me, “compromise” means they gave something up. From my perspective, that isn’t the case at all. Rather, they looked at both variants they had developed prior to SHOT Show and in testing over the past few months, developed a new baseplate for the magazine. For one thing, this baseplate slides on from the rear. It’s also a low profile design but you can still get a grip on it and the design offers a slight rand all around the base of the magazine but it’s not so pronounced that it causes issues with mag pouches.
