We find it befitting that our 100th post is on Canada Day

While enjoying your freedom today, ponder on all the rights you have and how good life really is in Our Home and Native Land; then raise a glass and thank those who protect those freedoms.

Let's talk about "crowding cover". It's a subject that is brought up by students on a pretty regular basis in the VCQB* courses. There are times when crowding cover (working extremely close to whatever barricade you find yourself against, as opposed to having "stand off room" to work) is advantageous or a necessity.

As many of the blog readers may use these magazines for tactical work, CCW or home defence, Whiskey Delta Gulf is sharing this information in the interest of safety.  We have heard rumours that some brands of hollow points have occasional feeding issues.

What is it, where did it come from and do I have to use it in order to be cool?  It’s a technique that has been around for a long time.  Simply put, Temple Index is to index the firearm vertically, parallel to the head, with the knuckle of the hand touching the temple.  

Happy New Year

While we welcome in the New Year,

others are deployed keeping us safe.

God Bless them and bring them 

safely home to their families
victorious.

Merry Christmas 2014

5.11 Tactical Vest

Un:a prefix meaning “not,” freely used as an English formative, giving negative or opposite 

Uniform: [yoo-nuh-fawrm], noun, an identifying outfit or style of dress worn by the members of a given profession, organization, or rank.

The ubiquitous 5.11 Tactical Vest has grown in popularity from its covert beginnings with various military and law enforcement units to almost a standard of dress within many private contracting companies and citizens that legally conceal carry. In the Sandbox, it is the un-uniform. While not wearing an official military uniform, it is very popular with the contracting crowd. There are times when this quick recognition is good.
