Rangers vs. Sharks: Combat Flip Flops Heads Into The Shark Tank Friday, February 5th
January 23rd, 2016
Issaquah, WA – After nearly four years of crushing the multiple roadblocks to manufacturing peace through trade while simultaneously creating economic solutions for those affected by conflict, Combat Flip Flops is ready for its next mission—swimming with the sharks on ABC’s Shark Tank.
Get ready for a wild ride when Griff & Lee, two of Combat Flip Flops’ owners and former Army Rangers, enter the tank. Think you’ve seen drama in the tank before? Think you know how it’s going to end? Watch Friday, February 5th at 9 PM EST on ABC as Griff & Lee show the Sharks that manufacturing in war zones can do good and be profitable.
“We’re stoked to bring the Combat Flip Flops mission to the tank,” said Matthew ‘Griff’ Griffin, Combat Flip Flops’ CEO & co-founder. Every Shark has the ability to expand the mission, inspire new recruits to join the Unarmed Forces, and manufacture peace through trade. Over the past few years, we’ve survived deadly encounters to create an opportunity like this. Attack Dogs. Raging Bulls. If we need to jump in the water with Sharks, then it’s time to grab the mask and fins.”
“We’ve all seen and heard Shark Tank success stories,” said Donald Lee, Combat Flip Flops’ CMO & co-founder. “We set our minds to getting on the show and in true Ranger fashion, we accomplished the objective. We hope this is the catalyst our company needs to provide large scale, peaceful, sustainable change in areas of conflict.”
In 2015, Combat Flip Flops’ sales increased 150% over 2014 while the company donated over 60 years of school to Afghan girls and cleared 1533 square meters of land mines in Laos, keeping kids and all villagers safer. Through its Unarmed Forces, the brand has spread stoke and empowered mindful consumers to make a difference.

Gunfighter Moment – Daryl Holland 
January 23rd, 2016
The Colt Combat Unit Pistol was designed by Ken Hackathorn and myself after the recent partnership between Colt and Alias Training & Security Services. I’m always honored to be mentioned in the same sentence with a living legend like Ken, so when I was asked to be a part of this with the Colt family it was an easy decision because I was also raised on the 1911 and the history of Colt dating back to 1836 speaks for itself. Colt has come out of Bankruptcy from the “Top Rope” with some changes in 2016 that aren’t just for the Military any more. This new Colt pistol is ready to go from the box to the holster without any modifications. It doesn’t just look great, it performs great. It has a dual recoil spring that will action the slide faster and softer, enabling the shooter to get their sites back on target faster after firing a round. It has 25 LPI (Lines per inch) checkering on the front and back strap/mainspring housing and the G10 grips don’t just look cool they also help maintain that perfect grip when you have sweaty hands.
The rail for a gun light is much needed by our commandos who keep us safe at night when most of the bad stuff happens and the Novak sites have a tritium dot on the front site post. The upswept beaver tail extended grip safety and light weight hammers are common within custom 1911’s. The attention to details by the Colt custom shop is amazing because they have made the best solid aluminum trigger I have ever felt.
Of course, I’m biased because of my new relationship with Colt, but just hold this gun in your hand and drop the hammer.
Sold!
The suggested retail price for this pistol is $1,499.00.
With the Administration and shady Democrats taking shots at our 2nd Amendment, maybe you should get two.

SHOT Show – Crye Precision LVS
January 23rd, 2016I’d like to close out our SHOT Show 2016 live coverage the same place we started, Crye Precision. During our overview at the beginning of the week I showed you the new LVS armor system. However, based on the comments I feel that further explanation was warranted.
This is LVS. There is a cover laminated directly to the armor. It can be worn this way directly against the skin for extreme low profile wear thanks to their Insert As Vest architecture. Both Caleb Crye and Gregg Thompson wore LVS this week during SHOT Show to demonstrate how unobtrusive the system is.
In particular, some commenters were concerned about sweat and how to clean the armor.
Above and below you see a covert carrier. LVS can be placed inside this, and other carriers, when needed. LVS can be removed for cleaning.
There are many carrier types available.
There’s even a tactical carrier which is what many are accustomed to.
While LVS has an integrated cover for low visibility wear, it can still be placed in a carrier when needed.

SHOT Show – Outdoor Research Introduces New Outerwear in WL Gore’s Topo Technology
January 22nd, 2016Outdoor Research has debuted a new jacket in WL Gore & Associates’ new Topo fabric. Topo features a stretchable membrane.
The jacket has an articulated, close fit in order to bring the jacket’s Gore membrane closer to the body where it will work better. The Brown segments you see are Topo and allow the jacket to stretch when you layer up for colder temps, yet keep the jacket as close to the body as possible in order to move the perspiration out through the membrane.
You can place order now in MultiCam and Coyote.
