I’ve been on a quest of sorts for some time, searching for the perfect knife– a fusion between Bear Grylls’ fixed-blade woodland survival blade and the quintessential gentlemen’s pocket knife.  For years, that balance was realized in my Gerber 06 Automatic.  I praised the Gerber for its ruggedness and razor sharp S30V steel.  Well, my daily work knife has finally found its match: the Zero Tolerance Strider Ken Onion Model 0301.

My buddy Pete is one of my most trusted local clients and a real high speed, low drag LEO.  He absolutely swears by Zero Tolerance knives and turned me onto this model a few months back.  Well, one of our suppliers finally started carrying ZT and my first shipment arrives today!  The attention to detail and build quality is phenomenal.  The balance and ergonomics are unparalleled.  I think it might be the perfect blade.

The blade, of course, if 3.75″ long and constructed of the finest S30V stainless steel coated with a DLC Tungsten Tiger Stripe finish.  It’s as beautiful and elegant as it is sharp.  The G10 handle is Ranger OD green on the front and matte Titanium black on the back.  Open, the ZT 0301 is a formidable 8 5/8″.  Closed, the knife is still a burly 5 1/16″.  It weighs 8 ounces empty, and 8 ounces fully loaded.

Zero Tolerance’s Speed Safe assisted opening technology is fluid and graceful.  Although I prefer an automatic knife, this is much more practical and lawful.  Despite its size, the Strider Ken Onion models are remarkably comfortable to carry.  The pocket clip can be mounted for tip-up or tip-down carry.

ZT knives are a premium product and demand a premium price.  Retail is $295, but you know your friends at On Point has you covered for a lot less.  We’ll have pricing loaded later today for VIP members.  None VIP members will be able to purchase at the standard MAP price of $236.

How cool is this?  3rd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment is celebrating its 25th year. So, Rock Island Armory got together with the Rangers and made a special run of 375 special 1911s for the guys that served.  A couple of my buddies are Rangers and their first commemorative pistol arrived last week, so we thought you’d enjoy some pics!

They feature a Ranger tab on the slide including anniversary dates and a pair of beautifully engraved custom hardwood grips.  “Safe Queen” material, right?  Hardly.  The guys already told me they’re taking these out to shoot.  Then, my SEAL buddy Wayne is going to make them some custom hardwood display cases.  How’s that for a joint operation?

On Point Firearms is proud to offer our clients the best firearms lube on the planet: TW25B– or as its manufacturer Mil-Comm likes to call it, Tango Whiskey Two Five Bravo.  This product is the absolute FIRE, my friends.  My buddies in the Chinook use it on their Dillon Aeros, M240Bs, and M4s and it lasts weeks.  So, if it’s good enough for 3000+ rounds per minute, it’s surely good enough for my civilian weapons right!?  Plus, it ships as the OEM lube of choice from a number of high-end brands from LWRC to Sig Sauer.  We’re happy to carry Mil-Comm and offer it to our valued customers at the lowest price around.  Here’s all you ever needed to know about TW25B:

TW25B is Mil-Comm’s flagship product and best seller.  It’s a light synthetic grease that not unlike our elite American warriors, excels under adverse conditions (sand, dirt, high-humidity, salt-water and extreme temperature environments).  TW25B provides lubrication and protection on all wear parts and the bore, eliminates galling, short-stroking, improves bore accuracy, and increases muzzle velocity! It’s ideal for long-term storage, maintaining weapons in fire-ready condition– something anyone with a concealed carry or duty firearm can appreciate.  We sell TW25B in a 0.5oz syringe that’s great for trigger groups and other hard-to-reach areas, 1.5oz and 4oz tubes, and in a jumbo 16.9 fluid ounce EP spray can.  This is perfume for shooters!  It’s basically TW25B pre-mixed with pure isopropyl alcohol, which acts as a cleaner/degreaser and helps to deliver an even, moderate coating of TW25B to treated surfaces. The combination of TW25B grease and alcohol act as a cleaner and the TW25B grease provides the lubrication and corrosion protection.  So, it’s your super-premium CLP replacement.  There’s also a handy dandy cloth called the WeaponWipe that we sell as a 10 pack.

When the job calls for something less viscous, there’s MC2500 Oil.  MC2500 delivers the same exceptional performance that TW25B grease is known for, but its lighter viscosity allows for easy migration to hard-to-reach weapon parts, such as trigger assemblies. It’s ideal for dispensing into parts where a full disassembly is neither desirable nor practical. We sell this in a syringe and 2oz spray bottle.

Finally, there’s MC25.  MC25 is TW25B’s younger brother who got a liberal arts degree at Berkeley– a cleaner degreaser that is environmentally safe, water-based, pH balanced, non-toxic formula that emulsifies organic substances on contact including gun lubricants, powder residue and other debris. It also makes a great shampoo.  MC25 properly prepares all kinds of firearms for application of lubricants like the “Two Five Bravo” or “MC Twenty-Five Hundo”. It provides gentle, powerful cleaning and de-greasing action– and helps you get in touch with your sensitive side. Plus, every MC25 product ships with a free hemp necklace. ***

*** Note:  MC25 does not ship with a free hemp necklace.  That was a joke.

That’s it, my friends.  We’re now your one-stop ship for everything in the Mil-Comm family of lubes.  Order up some today.  You’ll be glad you did!  Have a good one and God bless. — Evan

Happy Friday, my friends.  Now that the dust has cleared from the 2010 Show Show, a metric ton of exciting new products is on the horizon– not least of which is the Remington/Bushmaster/Magpul/Rand Corp/GE/Doritos ACR.  Of course, we civilians will see the ACR come labeled as a Bushmaster, and despite the premium price tag announced at Shot Show in Vegas back in January, sales of the ACR will be staggering… I gare-ron-tee it! Remember, there was a lot of R&D that went into the creation of this gun and it took years to come to fruition. There will always be naysayers of any new product, but I think we’ll see the Bushmaster ACR answer its critics with solid performance and a strong value add.  It’s a premium product– not unlike LWRC, Schmidt und Bender, or Les Baer. It’s not for everyone and it’s not meant to be.  It’s an exceptional and exclusive rifle, right folks?!

Here’s the skinny:  There are two different flavors of the Bushmaster ACR: a Basic and an Enhanced configuration. The Enhanced ACR has an AAC flash hider, folding and six-position telescoping stock, and 2-point push button sling– in addition to all the standard features. I’ve got pricing loaded into the system.  [ click here for more info ]

According to our Bushmaster distributors, these should start shipping in March.  However, dealers realistically can expect to start receiving product in June or July.  So, check out the pricing and decide is the ACR is something you’d like sitting in your safe this summer.  You can have our website notify you via e-mail when the first shipment arrives. Click the “notify me” link next to the one you want and enter your e-mail address.

That’s it, my friends.  Keep sending in those Facebook CCW photos.  It’s a tight race so far and we’ve got a week to go.  Have a good weekend and God bless. — Evan
