   Hey guys, I want to give a heads up to a quality vendor and outstanding training resource.  Grey Group Training has it all, and I highly advise checking them out.

    They will help to facilitate the training that you need, and can hook you up with the best (TigerSwan, Larry Vickers, LMS Defense, etc.).  Their pro-shop is impressive too, and stocked with  quality gear (Arc’teryx, Tactical Tailor, Blue Force Gear, etc.).   They ship APO as well.

    All of this tactical goodness will help you out big time, and I can’t stress enough how important it is to have solid training and good gear for going out on contracts.  The best part is that Grey Group Training is one stop shopping for the security contractor, military professional, and law enforcement officer. –Matt

Weapons Stuff: The CSAT Rear Sight for AR-15/M-16, by XS Sight Systems

Filed under: Weapons Stuff — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 3:04 PM

    This sight is brand new, and there really isn’t much input about it.  It looks promising though and I just wanted to get this up on FJ so guys know that it exists. 

     I do like the fact that this rear sight has a notch, just like a pistol.  I also like the horizontal serrations carved into it, and this falls in line with the sight that Larry Vickers likes called the Slantpro Straight 8 by Heinie.  I have that sight on my Glock, and it is an outstanding rear sight aperture for pistols.

    But like I said, I do not own this rear sight and I haven’t heard any feedback about this sight, except for one comment at the XS store website where you can buy this sight.  On the CSAT website, they give a better description of how to use this new rear sight, so be sure to check that out as well.

    Also, I wanted to give a heads up that CSAT is coming out with a new rifle based on the AR 15 platform and that this rear sight will probably be a standard feature of this rifle.  It will be great to see the final product in the near future.  –Head Jundi

Gear Review: Woolrich Elite LWO Pants

Filed under: Gear Review,Photo — Tags: , , — Matt @ 6:11 PM

Woolrich Elite LWO Pants
Well, I just bought a pair of these, and plan on putting them through the paces.  My first impression is that they are built pretty well and are very comfortable.  They did not give me a pair with tan retaining elastic on the lower leg pockets, and mine are black.(in the photo above, they are tan)  The material is a soft, lightweight cotton poplin type.(like the Sigtac Shirts, if you have ever seen those)  I don’t know how long these will last, but they seem to be a lot more functional than 5.11’s .  I would classify them as the best that Army style ACU’s offer, crossed with a 5.11 style pants.  I bought mine at Botach Tactical and I was happy with their service on this order. If anyone has used these out in the field, I would love to hear what you think? (more…)
