“Whoever chose this piece of shit to be issued to anyone- you’re an inexperienced pistol shooter who has no common sense. Hope you got a decent kickback from Blackhawk.” – as posted by Kyle Defoor –veteran USSOCOM operator and one of the top firearms trainers in America.

Read MoreBlackhawk is recalling the light bearing version of their SERPA Level 3 holsters made before October 11, 2011. They tell us that users are over tightening the mounting screws which weakens the material surrounding the threaded insert and can cause the holster to break off from the platform. It seems holsters were manufactured back in 2009 with an incorrect part that contributes to the problem, but Blackhawk isn’t taking any chances and is offering to replace all SERPA Level 3 light bearing holsters manufactured prior to October 2011 (part number CJD1300 or 2100xxx on the back).
Props for Blackhawk covering all the costs associated with shipping the defective holsters back and forth. Just visit www.blackhawk.com and follow the instructions, send an e-mail to lbholsterreplacement@blackhawk.com or call Blackhawk at 800-694-5263 to get the ball rolling.

Black Hawk has a new line of collapsible Dynamic Entry tools. The Breacher pry-bar, Mini Thundersledge hammer and Hallagan tools are made of hardened stainless steel. They collapse down for compact storage and extend to provide more leverage for battering and prying doors and windows to gain entry. The shafts on each of the tools feature a black powder coating and rubberized handles. They collapse and extend by pushing a detent button.
The Breacher and the Hallagan are 16.75 inches collapsed and 24.5 inches extended and weigh approximately 7.5 pounds each. The Mini Thundersledge is 14.5 inches collapsed and 22 inches extended. It weighs about 10 pounds. The Breacher and Hallagan retail for about $400 and the Mini Thundersledge costs about $350.
If you can’t choose between hacking, slashing, prying or beating, reach for Blackhawk’s new Small Pry. It was designed as a breeching tool for prying open doors, breaking windows and slashing screens. But, it’s a handy size to keep in the car in case of an emergency that demands some prying or hacking. The Small Pry is made from D-2 tool steel and is 14.5” with a 4.4” sharpened blade. For $200, you get the tool and an injection molded sheath that mounts to any PALS webbing.
One battery. One lonely little AAA, AA or CR123. What could it do in a flashlight when most of us remember state-of-the-art as those huge two or four D-cell man-beaters? Well, with the latest L.E.D. technology, a little CR123 battery can run a light for hours that’s no bigger than your finger but nearly as bright as a car headlight.
All the major players you know, and a few you don’t, have embraced the L.E.D. So, we’ll give you a primer on the new millennium flashlight tech and offer capsule reviews of 11 lights you can carry everyday without weighing you down or making folks wonder if you’re just glad to see them.
