Sunday, August 23rd, 2009FASTmag Flap
Friday, August 21st, 2009CPGear by Wheelers has just launched the FASTmag Flap. Designed to fit the PALS version of the Gen III FASTmag, the Flap gives you some extra piece of mind when the FASTmag is mounted upside down or other similar instances. The Flap folds out of the way when not required. There is also PALS compatible webbing on the front of the FASTmag flap to facilitate the attachment of additional modular pouches.
The FASTmag Flap is available in CADPAT-AR, CADPAT-TW, Coyote Brown, Multicam, UCP, Olive, and Black. To order visit CPGear.

Stark Equipment Sling Grip
Sunday, August 16th, 2009Stark Equipment has begun shipping their latest product, the SE-2 Sling Grip for AR-15 style rifles. The SE-2 is the first AR-15 pistol grip to be integrated with an ambidextrous sling mount and is available in two versions. The Hook Mount provides a loop compatible with most common sling hooks and the Swivel Mount allows the attachment of push-button sling swivels.
The SE-2’s sling mount is located above the hand and below the buffer tube, with a low profile design that stays out of the way of even fully collapsed M4-style stocks. When added to AR pistols, the SE-2 provides excellent one-handed control while providing sling attachment that doesn’t clutter up the receiver extension.
Like the original SE-1 Pistol Grip, the ergonomic design of the SE-2 fits a wide range of hand sizes and shooting demands. Features include a smooth integral trigger guard to increase comfort, textured surface along the grip, and internal storage for batteries or other equipment.
The SE-2 Sling Grip is available in Black, Dark Earth and OD Green. For more information visit www.starkequipment.com.

The Fort Benning based Maneuver Battle Lab recently evaluated of a new style of buttstock for the M240B and M249 machine guns. 10 Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment, participated in the three-day experiment which included live fire and Individual Movement Techniques. The new buttstocks, modified after feedback from a Limited Objective Evaluation conducted last year, are adjustable from 10.125 inches to 7 in five increments, each approximately .75 inches apart. Additionally, the adjustment differs from the current issue stock with the buttons being vertical instead of horizontal and featuring only one button instead of two in order to adjust the buttstock.

Blauer & Pincus To Present Combined Course
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009The founders of Blauer Tactical Systems and I.C.E. Training Company will team up November 2-3, 2009, in Virginia Beach, Virginia to offer a tactical workshop that blends essential & fundamental skills from both Combat Focus Shooting and the S.P.E.A.R. System’s Personal Defense Program. This dynamic two day course addresses armed and unarmed confrontations.
The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) is a scientifically researched and medically reviewed personal defense measure that exploits the body’s natural responses to violence and danger. This survival mechanism, dubbed the Startle-Flinch Response has been scientifically integrated into a series of neuro-muscular drills that teaches individuals how to convert their instinctive reactions into protective and combative tactics.
The Combat Focus Shooting (CFS) Program is an intuitive shooting program that is designed to work efficiently with the body’s natural reactions during a dynamic critical incident. This approach makes CFS Skills easy to learn and maintain for students of all backgrounds, military, law enforcement or self-defense.
Unlike many traditional programs, CFS does not take a purely mechanical approach to shooting training in isolation from the context in which the skill must be used. CFS is not simply “point shooting,” it is a training methodology that leads to more efficient defensive shooting skill.
This two-day course will take place at the Blauer Training Facility and on a live-fire range. The course is $450.00 and is open to military, security and law enforcement personnel, as well as those interested in personal defense. (Background checks will be conducted.) Students should bring a firearm, holster, three magazines and 600 rounds of ammunition.
