The placement of our gear is one in which we train rigorously to quickly access in a flash to put into use with decisive skill and intent. Unfortunately, there are times where the threat is too swift and quickly ends up within arm’s reach or closer. Then what?
When all Hell breaks loose and the enemy is on top of you in a struggle for your life, the large combat knife still in its sheath on your hip or the .45 ACP tucked into your waist band does absolutely NO GOOD if you can’t reach them! The D2 Dagger from Skallywag Tactical is specifically designed to be quietly tucked away out of sight with the easy to deploy loop ever at the ready to be grabbed and put into action while grappling within arm’s length. Its sole design purpose is for the Police Officer, soldier, or innocent civilian being attacked to get the dirt bag the F**K OFF OF YOU!!
The ringed handle allows the blade to be used as a gross motor skill tool via one or two fingers anchoring the grip firmly in the hand regardless if it is wet, dry, muddy, or even bloody.
With no fancy buttons to depress, material art skill to master or complex sheath to navigate, the D2 dagger is designed to simply “grab and go” with a firm grip and burst of violent intent of stabbing motions that can easily be accomplished even while wearing tactical gloves. After deployment of the blade is made and the user has an opportunity to transition to primary weapon such as a rifle or handgun, the ring allows for minimum effort to retain by simply holding onto it with the pink finger of the support hand while establishing a master grip. According to former Navy Seal, Jeff Gonzalez of Trident Concepts, studies have shown that once a fixed blade is deployed in a high stress environment, its often better to just hang on it rather than try to secure or simply drop it to the ground.

GEAR ON TEST
If youâre training, on the range, or indeed in need of a fine partner to carry all your EDC items, then sometimes a small pack can be the answer! Weâve been trying out the latest version of one of our favourite designs, and find that it still meets our needs as well as ever.
FIVE YEARS STRONG!
AT PMCI WE PREFER TO CONCENTRATE ON BRINGING YOU THE MOST INSIGHTFUL AND VALUABLE INFORMATION WE CAN IN EACH AND EVERY ISSUE, CONCENTRATING ON PRODUCTS AND PROVIDERS THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO TRAIN AND PLAN EFFECTIVELY RATHER THAN BLOWING OUR OWN TRUMPETS! HOWEVER, WEâVE JUST REACHED A MILESTONE THAT WE FEEL ITâS RIGHT TO SHOUT ABOUT, AS THE EDITORIAL TEAM HITS THE FIVE YEAR MARK! BILL AND TRAMPAS GIVE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THOSE FIVE YEARS, AND WHERE THEYâRE HEADING NEXTâŠ
Spotting Danger With Gary Quesenberry
Over the course of the past twenty years, trampas has worked in and around law enforcement on the local, state, and federal levels through various task forces before transitioning to the firearms and training industries. His travels have led him around the usa to meet some amazing people and learn many valuable lifesaving skills. Of these skills, one of the most important to learn and pass along to family, friends and students is that of situational awareness. So important in fact, pmci decided to invite a special subject matter expert to join us and discuss his new book on the topic! - ts.
RUGER-57
Late December of 2019, Ruger Firearms threw the gun industry for a loop by announcing a new semi-auto pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm aptly named the Ruger-57. This nearly 30-year-old cartridge, commonly perceived to be pertinent only to a niche market, was suddenly, the main topic of conversation! -TS
KIT: TACTICAL FLEECES
Although they are nothing new, one of the most overlooked bits of kit in our âtactical wardrobeâ is the fleece, but itâs actually one of the most versatile garments that you can own, both for training and for general use! As we head into the colder months of the year Bill takes a look at some of the models heâs been using and abusing and brings us the benefit of his years of use and technical garment knowledge!
MICROTECH SCARAB
In the knife community, there is perhaps nothing more captivating than the âSWWWICKâ sound of an automatic knife. Whether itâs the classic linage of the stiletto switchblade from our favorite gangster movies or if itâs the mystique of being banned in several states, the automatic knife remains on the top of every blade fanâs âmust have listâ. -TS
ATTACKSENSE UPDATE â PEER TO PEER TRAINING
If youâre a regular reader of PMCI then youâll know that some of the contributors, especially those in the UK where access to live fire training is limited, have been making good use of their â6mmâ tools to keep their skills and drills up to date with the AttackSense Smart target System, and now it looks like things are getting even more interesting with live peer to peer âranking dataâ available! -BT
CONSOLE VAULT
AS AN AVID PRACTITIONER OF LEGALLY CARRYING A CONCEALED FIREARM EVERY DAY AND TEACHING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME THROUGH THE TRAINING COURSES OUR COMPANY OFFERS, TRAMPAS IS CONSTANTLY AWARE OF AREAS IN WHICH HE CANNOT POSSESS A FIREARM, AND LOOKS TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THOSE MOMENTS WHEN HE NEEDS TO SECURE HIS âTOOLSâ WHEN MOBILE. - TS
CHANGING THE TRAINING DYNAMIC WITH THE REALISTIC TARGET COMPANY
Throughout my law enforcement career, the standard training for our department, as with many agencies across our state, consisted of a static range with a solid color (black, blue, or green) human silhouette known as a B-27 target. It was only during my regular training as part of the SWAT team away from the patrol, upper brass, and investigations personnel in which things were a bit more âdynamicâ.
SKILLS & DRILLS
With our good friend and valued PMCI contributor Andy N fully back in the fold, he shares the experience he has gained both in the UK military and âon the circuitâ as he continues with his usual wry take on the âSkills and Drillsâ that are invaluable to any shooter!!!
