The 39th Annual Awards Festival is scheduled for April 13-16, 2016. This Festival serves active duty and retired airborne soldiers of all services. It serves to extend the brotherhood of the airborne ethos.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Soldier of Fortune magazine is ceasing publication of the hard copy edition and going digital-only beginning with the April 2016 issue which should hit newsstands soon. Publisher Robert K Brown, LTC (USAR, Ret) is 83 now and putting together a monthly magazine is no joke. While I don’t blame him, it’s sad to see it go. I’m hoping they’ll improve their online presence. I’d like to keep up but their site needs some work.
Quite frankly, I am bummed. I grew up with Soldier of Fortune; literally. Although I didn’t read the magazine from the very first issue, I started reading it in 1978, after it had been around for a few years. I still read printed magazines, including SOF. Perhaps I feel like I’m being forced to consider my own mortality. When you’ve seen something since you were a kid, it’s kind of a shocker to see it go. SOF has had its ups and downs over the years but it was a magazine written by some guys who had been-there-done-that and definitely influenced more than one generation over its 40 year run. What are your memories?
In the future, Soldier of Fortune’s content will be found at www.sofmag.com.
Blue Ridge Mountain Sports has been our go-to outdoor store for years. It’s sad to see them go. Mission Ready Equipment has closed as well.
We’ll miss you!
ONTARIO Calif. – Safariland® congratulates team member Robert Vogel for winning the Stock Service Pistol (SSP) Division at the 2016 Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor Nationals held in Springfield, Mass., February 18 – 20. Vogel dominated the entire match coming in with the fastest overall time of 207.87, and defending his title for the ninth year in a row.
Competitors gathered from all over the world to compete at the Smith & Wesson indoor shooting range in Springfield. The IDPA Nationals offered 14 stages with a round count of 260+ and each stage was designed to challenge competitors of all skill levels. Known for its challenging low-light and no-light stage scenarios, the championship required competitors to shoot while on the move and reload with a flashlight in hand.
“My Safariland gear allowed me to focus on the game and not the equipment,” said Robert Vogel. “My 5199 holster has proven that it is the best IDPA holster made as I use this holster for everything from USPSA matches to the classes I teach.”
“We are very proud of Vogel’s performance at this year’s nationals, and, more importantly, his valued feedback to our Research and Development team,” said Team Captain and Vice President, Equipment Category, Scott Carnahan. “This is a great start for Team Safariland and we look forward to a great year!”
Vogel participates in IDPA competitions with the Safariland holster Model 5199, Open Top Concealment Belt Clip Holster with Detent, the Model 773, Single Magazine Holder that is mounted to a 744BL Belt Clip, and model 032 Range Belt. For more information, visit www.safariland.com/dutygear.
