Handgun 2 with Stephen Pineau @ 21st Century Gunfighter, LLC.

Date March 5, 2013

I recently spent a couple of hours with Stephen Pineau taking photos at his Handgun 2 class. Stephen is an excelent instructor and I learned a good bit just listening to him while I was capturing the event with my camera.

You can catch a sampling of the photos from this class here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152616391625252.1073741825.890820251&type=3

Suunto Core Black Military @ Linton Outdoors

Date July 27, 2012

I would imagine most of my readers here at Gear Thread know about Suunto and the quality product they produce.

That being said, you might just be shopping around for a Suunto Watch. If you are, I would suggest you get it from my friends at Linton Outdoors. Shipping is free on any order over $100.

Personally, I’m partial to the Suunto Core Black Military but Linton Outdoors has a number of Suunto Watches to choose from.

I personally know the owners at Linton Outdoors and they are knowledgeable about the gear they sell and they are great to work with.

Javran: USA-made gear that looks good!

Date July 3, 2012

Our friends at Javran.com have some of the best gear out there and it’s all made in the USA. Gotta love a company making gear right here in the good old USA.

About Javran: In the owners words

Javran™ began from my quest to find that elusive ‘perfect’ camera bag. I wanted it to function perfectly, and look good doing it. Needless to say, I couldn’t find it. Being the DIY enthusiast that I am, I obtained the tools and materials to make my own and dug right in, learning much along the way. It wasn’t long before others started requesting custom gear, and I obliged. Now Javran™ makes softgoods for photographers, soldiers, pet lovers, and anyone else who desires quality, ultra-durable, USA-made gear that looks good!

Here’s a look at the Javran signature logo patch. See them all here.

Kifaru’s Megatarp

Date June 22, 2012

Kifaru’s Megatarp…Available for order this coming Monday. Find out more here.

The Megatarp will have one sewn in entry and the other will except the Annex. The reason for this configuration was to make it more versatile for year round use. In the summer and early fall the sewn in door can be opened completely and the Annex left at home (for increased air/wind flow). This will still give you a large amount of room that will be completely protected from the elements, but an open end to glass out of when pitched in the right place.

The ‘MAG Wallet’ from Fight and Flight Tactical

Date June 14, 2012

How many times have you put some pistol mags in your back pocket or in a cargo pocket just to get annoyed at how they move around. I know it’s true for me. Maybe you just want an alternative to something attached to your belt.

Well, the folks at Fight and Flight Tactical (FB: https://www.facebook.com/FightAndFlightTactical) have come up with a solution to this problem and its called the “MAG Wallet“.

The MAG Wallet discreetly holds two pistol magazines in your back pocket, or in a medium sized cargo pocket, leaving the floorplates of the mags just below the top of the pocket. The MAG Wallet’s upper edges are bound with semi-rigid webbing, allowing for smooth draw and easy insertion, while still providing some retention. The outside is lined with Slip-Not fabric to help keep it in your pocket, and a layer of 1/32” HDPE plastic prevents the mags from painfully digging into your butt. A loop of webbing on the back assists in removing the MAG Wallet from the pocket.
Dimensions: 5” x 6” x .5”

The MAG Wallet comes in 4 different configurations:

  • Single Stack – fits 1911 mags
  • Double Stack – M9 (Beretta 92F), Sig P226, Springfield XD (9mm & .40cal)
  • Double Stack – Glock – All full sized 9mm & .40 cal
  • Double Stack – Glock – All full-sized 10mm & .45 cal
