2 - EOTECH 512- A Classic Reborn?

Clay Takes on the EOTECH 512

Ah, the classic EOTECH 512. It is perhaps especially fitting that we have one in for testing, since it was such a star during America’s longest war. EOTECH was an instant hit with the US Military and came to the attention of many of us when the GWOT started in 2001.

2 - Minimalist Assault Chest Rig (has video)

Gadsden Dynamics Minimalist Assault Chest Rig

This week we got our hands on one of the simplest and most elegant pieces of gear I have ever seen. So simple, in fact, that this review will probably be short on words.

The Burris SpeedBead – A Disappointing Test

I don’t get why Remington doesn’t just tap their shotguns for an optic’s mount. Like all of their shotguns. Mossberg does it, so why can’t Remington? Luckily, solutions exist, and one that has always interested me was the Burris SpeadBead. It seems like a great solution for a complicated problem. Burris designed the Spea Bead to be an optic mounting solution that doesn’t require a tapped receiver.

When it comes to guns and knives, I am generally the practical guy. I write about P320’s and FNH 509s and concealable blades that punch above their weight.

BFG Helium Whisper - Lightweight Pouch Tech

BFG Helium Whisper – Lightweight Pouch Tech

I was first introduced to Blue Force Gear’s Helium Whisper technology earlier this year, and came away very impressed. Helium Whisper is a new laser cut space ninja type fabric that weighs, as the name implies, nothing. Picking it up, you would think it might be fragile. On that count, you would be wrong. Despite feeling like nothing, as well as being very thin, you can’t tear it.
