In response to questions regarding the durability of the 3HGR, mainly if the gun rest can stand up to recoil and how durable the locks are, Treaper Ltd released this video which puts the sling through a battery of increasingly destructive tests, showing that the 3HGR is plenty capable of taking a beating, much less handling weapon recoil.

Will Serve as Primary Sponsor for Joey Coulter at Kansas Speedway
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 1, 2014) – GMS Racing is pleased to announce Vertx®, a tactical and outdoor apparel brand, has joined the team as a partner for the 2014 season. Vertx® will serve as primary sponsor for driver Joey Coulter and the No. 21 Chevrolet Silverado team in this week’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway.
“Teaming up with such a quality company like Vertx®, is really an exciting opportunity, not only for myself, but my No. 21 team and all of GMS Racing as a whole,” said Coulter. “I am excited to help kick off the partnership at Kansas this weekend in my Vertx® Silverado, I have always really enjoyed racing there.”
In addition, Vertx®, the “Official Tactical Clothing Supplier of GMS Racing,” will be an associate sponsor on all GMS entries in the Truck Series and ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards for the remainder of the 2014 season.
“We are really excited to welcome Vertx® to the GMS Racing family,” Nic Moncher, GMS Racing Team Manager, said. “Vertx® prides themselves on top-performance in all aspects of their business, while not compromising the function of their products. Our team looks to do the same with every Chevrolet we bring to the racetrack, so we believe this partnership is going to be good for both companies.”
Born out of necessity, Vertx® was established after a top federal agency approached a group of award-winning designers with one simple request – to develop a line of apparel bearing full tactical features and a low-profile appearance for covert application. Since hitting shelves in 2009, Vertx has evolved into a brand known for durability, fit and function, crossing over into the lifestyle of operational athletes. With performance in the forefront, Vertx® delivers the best in apparel and accessories, from durable yet comfortable pants to feature-rich every day carry bags and packs.
“Working with GMS Racing and Joey is the perfect fit for Vertx®,” Ginger Rohlfs, Vertx® Director of Marketing stated during a recent visit to their headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. “Our roots run deep in military and law enforcement, with both sectors fully aware of the functionality of Vertx®. The natural next step is to partner with others who require high performance apparel and what better place to demonstrate this than on the track and in the garage?”
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returns to action next Friday night, May 9, at Kansas Speedway. Coulter and his No. 21 Vertx® Chevrolet team will take the green flag shortly after 8:30 PM Eastern. FOX Sports 1 will carry the live television broadcast, while the Motor Racing Network (MRN) will have live radio coverage.
Developed by Meynard Ancheta of Kali Dynamics with input from Torin Hill of TORIS and made by knife maker Jeff Crowner, the TROIKA is a purpose-built fighting knife intended as an improvement of point-first knives such as the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.
The blade is designed for rapid-penetration/rapid-release, made from CPM 3V steel with Crowner Heat Treatment. The grip, which consists of hand-filed G10 scales, is designed with a neutral shape for style-agnostic use: “point up/down, blade forward/reversed… TROIKA don’t care.”
The TROIKA comes with a TORIS draw-driven Kydex sheath and color matched aluminum trainer knife.
The TROIKA G10 scales come in Graphite, Olive Drab, Coyote, and Black. The trainer G10 scales come in Red, Politician Red, Blueblack, and Politician Blueblack. Mounting options include a belt clip, brass studs, mini Tek-Lok, or Bawidamann small PUP.
Made in America, assembled by Veterans.
I gotta tell you, I love Art 15 Clothing’s t-shirt designs. These are the same guys behind the SOF rap battle videosband they comedic geniuses. When they recently talked about offering SSD readers a special discount I jumped at the offer.
This is a small, Veteran owned company. The 10% discount is super generous but it’s only good until May 17th, so make it count!
This week’s post from Tactical-Life.com covers the Boeing Bird of Prey. The YF-118G program, known informally as the ‘Bird of Prey’ due to its distinctive gull-shaped wings, was an advanced stealth aircraft project. Although the Bird of Prey itself was retired, technologies embodied in its design continue to be applied to current black projects.

Since yesterday’s test pattern post featuring USN Veteran and renown science fiction author, Robert Heinlein struck a nerve for some, I felt that this quote is an excellent follow up for all of us. Especially those who think that everything is about them. I can assure you, for once, this one is really about you.
I think we all follow the second part, that we don’t follow rules we find obnoxious. It’s human nature. But I don’t know that we all accept moral responsibility for all of our actions. It’s something to strive for, always.
