Wilson Combat better than GI Magazines
The title pretty much says it. The 1911 has been around for a long time now, but the reality is the guns and the magazines have improved since 1911. Sure machining and accuracy has improved for all firearms, but even to this day I still see guys with 1911 malfunctions regardless of the type of gun. Whenever I see these malfunctions I always ask what kind of ammo they use and what magazines. Most 1911s are even to this day still designed for ball ammo. Check with your manufacturer on what kind of ammo your 1911 will tolerate so you don’t make a fool out of yourself during training. I see it happen every year when new shooters show up at a class.
Magazines matter. In my opinion the DI AR15 variants got a life extension once Pmags came out since part of the weakness of the Ar15 system were flimsy GI Magazines. The same goes for the 1911. GI Mags are nice range mags, but they really were intended to be thrown away on the battlefield and not reused. Wilson Combat Magazines helped keep the 1911 on the market for LEO and CCW owners. The balance of the magazine followers is superior to what you’ll find at gun shows and that can increase your versatility. Some GI 1911s will run ammo that is non-ball, just because Wilson Combat Magazines put the bullet in the chamber without as much movement as the old GI mags and will increase reliability.
Man in the training in the self defense school will argue about the use of lasers on firearms. Lasers are used for as many diverse reasons as any tool. You can use a laser to direct someone to a target, highlight a threat, targetting a threat and using the laser dot to give you an approximate point of impact. When lasers first came out, there was evidence that operators were using them to aim and for close quarters fighting, sometimes aiming is not necessary and will slow you down in getting the first hits in. Hits count and the first hits usually go to the winner.
The Style 702 womens operator grade lightweight pants will be made of the same 100% cotton ripstop material that the men’s pants are made of, the stitching and durability are the same, but the buck stops there, or should we say doe? The pocket designs are unique to the womens pants and nothing like anything Eotac has out. The front pockets will easily accomodate pocket holsters, the two additional wallet type pockets can hold ID or even something as large as a pistol magazine. The pant legs are slightly tapered for a better look while still allowing access to an ankle holster or being worn with boots. These pants will be available in late Winter and will come in Black, Khaki, Navy blue and OD Green.
Hunting an elusive species of animal can be highly enjoyable and add a certain thrill absent in the hunt of more common game. To make your elusive game hunt as successful as possible, there are a few pieces of equipment you will need in addition to the standard hunting gear. For spotting game, you will need a pair of quality long range binoculars, like 
There are som many variations of gun cases. Some gun case can be loaded up with firearms and gear and practical have a nuke detonated on them and they’ll survive, but not everyone is concerened with that. Some of us may want to keep our Mini 14 and Mini 30 magazines matched up to the appropriate rifle case and buy and assault rifle type case and then mark the bag and put the correct magazines with each so we don’t have to spend an entire evening preparing for the following days shooting range. I’ve also learned to organize all of my firearm accessories and magazines so I don’t have one of those days where I show up at the range and find out I had the wrong magazines or no mags with me.
Woolrich Elite Pants
Many of you may think that spending $60 for a pair of pants is too high, but for a lightweight material, the design is extremely important. Eotac lightweight pants have a gusseted crotch that will drastically increase your ability to manuever without wearing about ripping your crotch out if you’re running and jumping. We had a user mention that another manufacturers pants tore in the crotch when he went from prone to standing up on a firing line. I guess we’ve all torn pants at some point in life, but tactical pants are not meant to be worn like Levi’s jeans.
Many of us know what it’s like to own a 18 gun rifle safe, but it really only holds 12 of our rifles. Sometimes estimating storage space for firearms can be difficult do to all of the customized accessories that we put on them. For instance, 12 guns with 20-50MM optics on them and owning semi-autos with 30rd magazines can take up a lot of room. Some gun safes will be designed for standing up your guns, but where do you put all of your magazines, sight in tools, targets ect?
