Interesting product that is designed to give you a strong grip on your pistol, the Prohands Tactical Handgun Grip Trainer is available at their store or on Amazon.com... "We believe that your entire hand, wrist and forearm should be measurably stronger than necessary to operate your handgun. This will allow you to relax your hand and control the weapon with confidence. If your hand is stressed and strained, you will not be operating within your confidence zone. We recommend that you strengthen your hands to a higher level than is necessary to stay locked on the target, so when you are required to perform, you remain well within your capability."
A memorable IWA Outdoor Classics 2017 for the airsoft community indeed. During the event, the RedWolf Airsoft booth was a hub of activity with visitors and clients visiting them to make deals or find out what they had to offer. Marck does a recap of the event and it is interesting to listen to what he has to say about what happened.
A cool project by The Firearm Blog as they attempt to reenact squad tactics of a U.S. Paratrooper squad with live firing... "On January 28th, TFB TV undertook a daunting task. We wanted to try and recreate an organizationally correct U.S. Army Paratrooper squad, with the same small arms and live ammunition that squad would have used in 1944. Recreating World War II small arms has been done through reenactments and in the film industry, but these only involve blanks. Shooting World War II small arms at a square range go doesn’t very far in understanding how these weapons functioned in combat. But neither is truly using these small arms as intended. These M1 Garands, M1A1 Carbines, and 1919 LMGs were created to be used by American soldiers in accomplishing their task of assaulting Fortress Europe and conquering the Japanese in the Pacific theatre. They were adopted and issued to be used by entire units of men, working together to neutralize an opposing enemy force."
Josh of Valken Tactical shows the latest in their Battle Machine Family during the IWA Outdoor Classics 2017 as they release more premium AEGs called the Alloy Series which means that their new AEGs will be using metal. Also, he goes over their Valken uniform called the Tango series and the uniform on display uses the Tiger Stripes camo.
Beyond the press got this video showing how 4,000 airsoft BBs got blasted out of an air cannon all at once. Something no sane airsoft player would want to be in front of during airsoft games... "Our ultimate weapon of mass destruction for airsoft games. Thanks for Atom Airsoft for delivering all the ammunition that we used."

The Brain Exploder starts his Simple Airsoft Upgrades with Part 1 being Inner Barrels... "Taking you through some simple upgrades that can greatly improve any gun and don't require a degree in mechanical engineering. The guide is overly detailed but covers the step by step process as demonstrated on this Krytac CRB, the same process and reasoning will work for most other airsoft guns but the hopup units vary as you would expect however for an M4 I would highly recommend the Krytac hopup design as it's great to work on and to use in the field."

Women finally get to wear a tactical glove that is made for them with the PIG Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Charlie - Women's Glove available right now at SKD Tactical... "Ladies- tired of wearing men's tactical gloves that aren't the right fit? If you’ve ever wanted something better… your wish is now reality. Over 2 years in the making, the PIG FDT-Charlie Glove (Patented) uses gender-specific patterns to bring the perfect tactical fit of the FDT-Alpha gloves to the female shooter or operator. The FDT-Charlie offers ground breaking dexterity while providing much needed protection from the rigors of tactical work.
Developed by a Rogers Shooting School“Advanced” graduate with over a decade of experience in instructing Military and Law Enforcement personnel, the FDT-Charlie Gloves were designed to minimize impact on the female shooter’s grip. Instead of following the tired old routine of reinventing the Aviator Flight Glove, or making a “cool-looking" glove with padding and layers in all the wrong places, the PIG design team partnered with a sports-glove industrial designer to ensure that all the sizing benchmarks for women's gloves were met while maintaining the functional tactical design features of the PIG FDT-Alpha glove.
Featuring several industry firsts, the FDT-Charlie allows unfettered access to all your firearms controls and manipulations, without the overwhelming bulk of unnecessary padding and layers. When it comes to gloves you can shoot with, contrary to most of the other tactical gloves on the market, less IS more… the less you feel your gloves, the better you can shoot with them. As with ALL PIG Full Dexterity Tactical Gloves manufactured after summer 2015, the trigger fingers and thumbs feature conductive material to work with your touchscreen devices.
FEATURES (* indicates industry firsts for a tactical glove):
While the PIG FDT-Charlie Gloves will be some of the highest quality gloves you own, given the nature of the job we expect them to do, they are NOT designed to outlast the Apocalypse. We believe that the trade off in extreme dexterity and sensitivity for perceived durability is well worth it, and far better than the old-school “cut off the finger tips” or “go bare handed” solutions. At the end of the day, the PIG FDT-Charlie Gloves are a consumable product that will provide the user with the best tactile dexterity available in a tactical glove, and should be worn to destruction, then discarded and replaced. The selection of ultra sensitive materials and extremely tight seam tolerances mean that these gloves will eventually wear out, and there are no warranties implied.
Please try them on and inspect them thoroughly for fit and finish before removing from the hangtag, but be forewarned, you will not want to take them off. Priced competitively for the non-FR women's utility glove market, the PIG FDT-Charlies are the latest in a ground-breaking line of tactical gloves from PIG."
