Shellback Tactical gave us a sneak peek of their new COMBAT AGGRESSOR armor carrier. The original AGGRESSOR carrier has been very popular with the Law Enforcement community. The only issue was the color scheme. Many agencies use greens and browns for their uniforms and kit. Additionally, military organizations are looking for those colors as well. So Shellback removed the non-slip on the shoulder area to eliminate the two-tone effect when it comes to Ranger Green and Coyote and the COMBAT AGGRESSOR was born. The means the whole carrier is Codura. In keeping with the same color concept the spacer mesh was also removed along the arm areas. To top the design off Shellback added a drag handle to the back that stores out of the way yest is immediately accessible. Look for it to be in stock within the month.

Blackheart International is offering two new targets. They are available with a 2″ bullseye or a 1″ bullseye and come in packs of 25. They are intended for zeroing weapons, grouping your shots or for load development for ammo reloaders. BHI has added a section at the bottom of the gridded targets so that you can record pertinent data when using them for load data. The 8.5″ x 11″ targets are printed in a table format so you can tear off individual sheets as you go.
Why pay for checkering or cause someone else to risk carpal tunnel? That’s a good question, and something 10-8 Performance has an answer for. They are offering pre-cut sections of Grip Tape for 1911 front straps. The aim is to avoid the cost of checkering for a working gun. Additionally, the tape can be easily replaced when needed.
Two versions are offered: Ultragrip Fine grit (similar traction to 30 lpi checkering) or Medium grit (similar traction to 20lpi checkering) (lpi is lines per inch). Each piece is adhesive backed for ease of installation and comes packaged as a set of 5. According to 10-8. for best results, apply only to smooth front straps and be sure to thoroughly degrease front strap with acetone or alcohol prior to application.
The Army should be releasing the solicitation that will lead to the development of a family of camouflage patterns. Let us know what you think.
