October 10th, 2014Poll – Should SSD Close The Comments Section?
October 10th, 2014I’ve been mulling this over for awhile and the past few days have been over the top. SSD was created to educate readers on the goings on in the tactical industry and share things I found interesting. Lately, the comment section has become a magnet for disrespectful discourse and outright lies.
Spam I can live with, but the constant stream of dick measurers, internet experts, shills and trolls are getting to be a bit much. What do you guys think?

Behind-The-Scenes Look: New Glock G41 Commercial
October 9th, 2014
Glock approached Atlanta-based production company Modest to produce a spot for their G41 pistol. CraterDust, Glock’s creative agency, came up with a concept involving a Special Forces team doing a takedown of a hijacked plane on the tarmac. This inspired director Matthew Pope to utilize a single real-time shot to put the viewer in the middle of the action.
A particular scene called for a shot that started on a crane 30-feet above two parked SUVs and ended 300-yards away at the moment the plane was breached. To achieve this, Pope worked with Director of Photography Matthew Rogers and Special Effects Coordinator Drew Kimball to coordinate a shot that utilized pulleys, a Movi rig, handing off a RED Epic camera from one moving vehicle to another, and half a dozen camera operators.
Check out the behind-the-scenes video below:
