This is a subject that I’d normally avoid here on SSD but as a gun owner and NRA member, this video speaks to me. I hope you give it a listen.

It features two full clamshell opening compartments, one of which is dedicated to your EDC items.

The Demise Of Alias Training & Security Services
Monday, July 11th, 2016Late Sunday night, several well known tactical trainers announced they were cutting ties with Alias Training & Security Services. Mike Pannone posted an announcement on Facebook which included other Alias instructors Pat McNamara, Jeff Gonzales and Craig Douglas, stating all were moving on. Additionally, Larry Vickers announced a move to the newly formed Aztec Training Services.
While full details are still unclear, the moves appear to be financially motivated. Jeff Gonzales sent out a newsletter under under his company Trident Concepts which spelled some of the issues out.
Mike Pannone added some details:
Alias confimed that they were closing their doors in this statement:
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that as of Monday July 11, 2016 Alias Training & Security Services, LLC will be closing its doors. An ongoing dispute with our merchant services financial company has made things untenable. Our apologies to all affected students, instructors, etc. To all students of upcoming classes please expect an email early this week to explain the situation in more detail.
Again our most sincere apologies,
Alias Staff
Current Alias students should look for an email and watch the Alias Facebook pagefor updates. However, Larry Vickers has stated that he will honor any downpayments to Alias for his classes. Contact LAV for details.
5.45 AK Magazines From Svetogor Defence in Ukraine
Monday, July 11th, 2016This is a rather interesting story. Svetogor Defence doesn’t actually manufacture these magazines, but rather they modify existing mags by adding a window, Magpul-style stamping, and new color.
So far I’ve seen these Black, Brown, Light Grey (Tan), Green and MultiCam with Yellow, Red or Luminescent markings (except MultiCam). They are also offered in 30 rd 7.62×39.
