Way Of The Gun Covert B.E.L.T.

February 24th, 2016

 

Former Green Beret and tactical firearms trainer Frank Proctor refined the design of the Covert B.E.L.T. (Bring Everything Light Tactical) over a period of three years. Now, it’s his EDC belt as well as his range and competition belt.

The sides of this 1.5″ wide belt incorporate a stiffener where you would wear an OWB holster or external mag pouches. However, there’s no stiffener at the rear, but rather a small velcro pouch located at the small of the back. One of my favorite features are the plastic D-rings used to secure the belt. They aren’t only low profile, but allow you to keep your belt on while going through metal detectors. Additionally, the Covert B.E.L.T. offers elastic loops for magazines, sewn directly to the belt. These elestic slots are lined so mags won’t fall out and there are two pistol mag pouches up front and a pistol and rifle mag pouch on both sides behind the hip making the belt ambidextrous.

The Covert B.E.L.T. is made in the USA and offered in several sizes but you need to read the fine print on the website to ascertain the correct size.

Black Powder Red Earth Board Game Under Development

February 23rd, 2016

  

This might look like a collection of Legos to you, but it turns out this is a great way to design a board game according to ‘Black Powder, Red Earth‘ creator Jon Chang because you can quickly reconfigure the board as you come up with new ideas.  In this case, it’s the BPRE board game , in beta.   They plan to begin limited testing in the NYC area in March with a possible future crowdfunding campaign.  If this is as much fun as the graphic novels, I’m in.  Next up, the video game.

NIGHT FIGHTER: Level 1 is designed to arm students with a solid understanding of the fundamentals of night vision operation and usage techniques.

Don’t have night vision, but still want to train? No problem! We offer rental NVG’s, Helmets, Mounts, and Lasers for an additional fee. If you decide that you want to purchase the gear you rented during the class because it was so awesome and you realized what you’ve been missing, 100% of your rental fee for that item(s) will go towards the purchase of the new product.

Once a class has been set up, we will post it on our site so students can sign up. The host does not need to have a full class roster before coming to us.
