I had this sling on a rifle from February 2016 to January 2017 as a T&E at request of the owner/designer. The Sierra Tac sling is similar to function with other 2 point adjustable slings on the market, except it has a adjustment slider that is made just for Sierra Tac.

I recently purchased a WMLxIR for use on a training/duty rifle. The rifle is used primarily for low light and night vision training.

Notable products part one: BE Meyers MAWL: Got hands on with the MAWL for the first time. It’s all it’s been made out to be and more.

I have worked with leadership that recognized the importance of officer safety and enacted proactive polices which maximized police effectiveness through modern equipment and training.

This is one man’s musings, and over the course of my career they are things that I wanted from my leaders. As such, I have tried hard to be that guy as a current leader. This is meant for discussion, not as a how to guide. One of my greatest strengths as a leader is… read more »
