Mission Ready Announces PTF Manufacturing

July 27th, 2016

Mission Ready Services Inc has announced a new manufacturing division, PTF Manufacturing Inc, located in Jacksboro, Tennessee.

Jeff Schwartz, who some of you may remember from LC Industries,will run PTFM which will offer tactical outerwear, canine armor, bomb suits/blankets, riot control protection, carriers, textiles with integrated electronics and ballistic panels.

“The PTF Manufacturing team brings significant value to our existing and future relationships through a wealth of skills and experience that will enable us to efficiently deliver quality, custom tactical and armor products,” states Rod Reum, President & CEO of Mission Ready Services Inc. “The ability to manufacture the products we have developed will allow us to retain margins internally, bid more competitively, control quality and preserve our know how.”

They’ve already established over 30 dealers, and I’m looking forward to seeing the technologies they’ve developed, like the Ballistic Combat Shirt, brought to market.

The choice of establishing manufacturing in Tennessee, was wise. Many textile manufacturers are located in Tennessee. In their case, they’re located in a Tennessee HubZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) and they’ve been offered tax credits and business incentives which could amount to over $1 Million in the first year alone.

Shellback Tactical is proud to announce that the Original Banshee Plate Carrier in Black has been selected by the Plano Police Department (Plano, TX). The Plano Police Department is the 4th largest agency in Texas and located just 30 mins North of Dallas.

For the evaluation. The Plano Police Department put a team together to evaluate plate carriers for the agency. They evaluated approx. 10 potential carriers.

A Morale Patch Bourne Of Hypocrisy

July 27th, 2016

Have you ever noticed that “Celebrities” really enjoy making statements about whatever hot topic issue will get them the most press?

One such example is Matt Damon, who decided to spew all sorts of anti 2nd Amendment talking points recently. Ironically, he voiced his asinine opinion while engaged in a publicity tour for the most recent installment of his GUN HEAVY Bourne franchise. Well, the irony wasn’t lost on our friends at Tactical Pro Shop in Burbank, CA. So they are proudly producing a limited run of this patch.

These are Direct UV printed on PVC coated polyester webbing with velcro hook bonded to the backside.

$5.00 from each patch sale goes to the CalGuns Foundation, the leading voice in the fight for 2A Rights in the state of California. California is a paradise, legislated by idiots, and they practice over-reaching gun control there before they try to take it national.

Instead of spending money on a movie this weekend, buy this patch and help the fight in California.

Magpul Now Shipping Happy Claymore Bag and T-Shirt

July 26th, 2016

I’ve been waiting for Magpul to start shipping the Happy Claymore Bag but I didn’t expect them to offer a cool T-shirt as well. The Happy Claymore Bag is everything you wanted in a purpose built pouch and yes, you can still use as a shaving kit if you want.

Happy Claymore Bag

The Happy Claymore Bag is a better solution to carry, emplace and recover M18A1 Claymore Mines.

After years of working on and with small teams that use these mines regularly, the Magpul staff decided that there had to be a more practical and efficient way to do it.

They ditched the wire reel, and drawing on their mountaineering and riverine experience decided on a design similar to a rope throw bag. The blasting cap and firing wire is routed through a large grommet on the bottom of the bag, then secured in the static free blasting cap pocket on the tarp. When stored, the tarp separates the firing wire from the firing device in the same pocket. The mine itself is stored in a separate pocket, along with a stake, grease pencil, and range card. Handy right?
