WTFF – Did Someone’s Stupid Button Get Stuck?

September 11th, 2013

Over the past few days I’ve seen several “industry professionals” be anything but. I will not tolerate companies or individuals bashing one another. It really torques my head bolts that I have to regularly remind the collective readership that the Internet dehumanizes us and gives us this false sense that we can wild out and say any old crazy shit we want.

This behavior is unacceptable as a guest in my house; SSD. Address one another as you would if it was in person. That is the standard of behavior.

Cut the BS.

Your Chance To Be Heard Regarding Proposed NFA Rule Changes

September 11th, 2013

A few weeks ago, the Obama administration announced executive action that would drastically alter how applications for the transfer of NFA by trusts and corporations would be handled. We hosted a great guest article by Kel Whelan that gave us some insight. Now, as part of the process, the ATF is required to publish this proposed change in the Federal Register for public comment. They have done that and we have 90 days to comment.

-Go to www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/09/09/2013-21661/machine-guns-destructive-devices-and-certain-other-firearms-background-checks-for-responsible.
-Read everything posted about the proposed changes
-Post your comments

I suggest you keep it civil, direct and to the point, and use proper grammar to be most effective.

DSEi – CTC Defense

September 11th, 2013

The MVF-600 is a mil-spec (810-G) modular vertical foregrip. While a standard package consists of a visible or IR laser and 200 lumen light, they also offer modules that provide IR illumination as well as remote tape switching for other weapon accessories such as a PEQ.

As you can see, the modularity is effected by a simple throw lever system.

DSEi – Diamondhead

September 11th, 2013

Elite Defense showed me a set of polymer Back-Up Sights being introduced by Diamondhead.

Based on their current sights, this new polymer model uses the same diamond-shaped aperture that the company was founded upon. However, unlike current models, the new polymer model is spring loaded allowing them to pop-up when selected for use. Also, rather than a plastic aperture, Diamondhead uses an aluminum aperture for a sharper sight picture. You may notice white markings on the sights. This is a photo luminescent material that is pressed into the material.

Additionally, the rear sight integrates two different apertures for near and far range and the sight can be stowed regardless of which aperture is in use. You can adjust the front sight with a simple-to-use barrel adjust,net and the rear sight is adjusted with a coin or screwdriver.

DSEi – Patagonia

September 11th, 2013

Patagonia is on hand at the Elite Defense booth and the Europeans are eating it up! They are especially interested in the Jungle Uniform which I wasn’t sure would actually be released for sale due to US military demand.

Already available for Pre-order through Elite Defense, the graphic above shows you what is being offered. If you are looking for details on any of the items, visit the SSD archives at www.soldiersystems.net/tag/Patagonia.
