Magpul Dynamics isn’t the same company that it was even a year ago. They continue to adapt to advances in training methodology, weapon employment and equipment development. Today, as part of that continued improvement process, they officially announced that Jon Canipe has come on board as the Director of Carbine Operations, “in order to support the training schedule as well as support the development and testing efforts.” Canipe should be no stranger to readers of SSD. His weekly “Canipe Correspondence” series leverages his 12 years of military experience serving in US Army Special Forces. He will now offer his combat experience and time as an instructor at USAJFKSWCS to students of Magpul Dynamics. Congrats to Jon and Magpul Dynamics!

They are building a great team over there. Make sure you check out their philosophy at www.magpuldynamics.com/mission.

Crye Precision Featured in Monocle

September 5th, 2012

Crye Precision and their invention, MultiCam, are featured in the article “The Art of Getting Lost” in issue 56 of the magazine Monocle.

At Monocle’s website is a fantastic video featuring Caleb Crye discussing what motivates his workforce and unveils a few lesser known projects like a lightweight dirt bike and new design concepts for diving equipment. Additionally, Gregg Thompson weighs in on one of my favorite causes, American manufacturing.

The magazine is worth picking up as it’s packed with facts and is very well laid out. I got mine at Barnes & Noble.
