For the past four months Strike Industries has been working on their new Buffalo Wings base plates for GLOCK Magazines. They think they’ve got the modular design down pat, but just to make sure, they’re going to hand some out to USPSA shooters and get more feedback.
I hadn’t seen one of these in quite awhile. Invictus Alliance Group put this photo up on their Facebook page. Any of you guys know what it is and what it’s used for? No peeking at the Invictus Facebook page.
One of the big draws at Blade Show is the Emerson Knives / Multitasker Tools collaboration of the EK-1 Multitool and EDC-1 Compact Multitool.
Featuring CNC machined billet “chomper” blades, and G10 handle scales, the EK-1 Multitool integrates a 3.125″ Tanto-style blade as well as a 3″ SARK style serrated blade, both with liner safety lock. There is also an Awl, Can Opener with Small Screwdriver Tip, Bottle Opener with Large Screwdriver Tip, and a Phillips No 1 Screwdriver. Additionally, the EK-1 accepts OTIS cleaning kit tool heads and comes packaged with a removable dental pick for reaching difficult crevices. Naturally, it also has a belt clip.
The EDC-1 Compact Multitool offers G10 scales and a chassis that is more reminiscent of a pocket knife. No pliers here, but it does include a 2.5″ Micro commander style knife blade with patented wave feature and liner lock safety. As you can see, there use also a removable prybar / gator wrench / bottle opener. Additional tools including an Awl with liner lock safety, Phillips No 1 Screwdriver, and Large Slotted Screwdriver. Don’t forget the belt clip.
Look for these collaborations to hit the street this September.

In a classic, “What I meant to say was…” moment, Army spokesman Matt Bourke answered Military.com’s Matthew Cox’s questions about the TACOM message banning the use of polymer magazines. In a seeming reversal, Bourke explained that the TACOM Maintenance Information Message, published in its enirety here at SSD on May 11th, wasn’t direct in nature at all but rather informative.
So, game on. Use those commercial magazines at your own risk. Some are better than others.
This prototype forge rifle from Legion Firearms has no issues emptying a magazine after taking a healthy serving of dirt into the ejection port. That nickel-boron coating really works.
Unveiled at SHOT Show 2012, the Legion Firearms LF-P9 is shown here being fed some dirt and rocks. Then, it runs through a magazine with no issues. Sure, it’s only one mag, but still…
