Looks like Woolrich Inc is out of the tactical apparel market

Tru-Spec 24/7 series tactical clothingWe were the first dealer in Pennsylvania to carry the Woolrich Elite Series product line and I can’t think of much out there other than 5.11 tactical products, but Woolrich Elite Series products were very well received.  At the time the economy was better and people were willing to spend $50 for a pair of pants, but now things are really crazy and many of our customers are telling us they are dropping over $60 a pair of pants for 5.11 tactical stuff.   We’ve seen the ceiling be about $50 for pants and once we go over that for a product, we basically loose out to 5.11 tactical or some other company.  I have no idea what people are going to do if they liked Woolrich Elite Series products or the Eotac line because after checking out the Vertx, Tru-Spec and Blackhawk Product lines, they are all overy different.

There is a whole bunch of drama that went down with the guys that original came up with the idea for the Woolrich Elite line and in the end it lost out to the competition because it just couldn’t keep up with the times.   Our best best right now is to sell what our customers want and the Tru-Spec 24/7 Series tactical clothing has a great quality product for about 20%-40% less than their competitors.  There are the new Truely Tactical products coming out that are less than $40 and we expect that this is a great idea considering the economy and the market drive.  There are several companies making stuff now but nobody likes to buy online for new clothing and most walk to walk in a shop and try them on.

Lock your guns up and the mental health issues

gunvault safesWe all know someone that we think should never own a firearm and then there are the people that own them, that even as a 2nd Ammendment supporter, you know they probable shouldn’t.  I personally know friends that have worked together to take firearms away from family members or because they had anger management issues or had too much of a criminal history to be truested to use own them.  Given what happened in CT a few months ago, there are plenty of people that were aware of how unstable that murderer was and that they should have made sure he didn’t have access to the firearms, which is personal a reason people should NOT consider biometric safes.

Biometric safes in my opinion are for people with arthritis and  have not the ability to move their fingers quickly.   Its your call on what kind of gunvault safes you want to consider  using but if somebody can get a hold of your finger  prints or they kill you, all they have to do is drag your dead hand over the the safe and they are in.  Where as if you had a combination or finger combination, they would have to keep typing or dialing it in until they got it right, and many of the gun safes that I have owned will lock  you out after about 3 or 4 failed attempts.  You need to be careful how much technology you are going to be using, because the more they over take the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.
