Leader of the Pack

I was working from home last night and heard footsteps behind me.

I turned to see who it was and found my 4 year old son standing next to me.

He was wearing my BlackHawk Desert Ops boots and his Leader of the Pack t-shirt that my wife got him a few days ago.

Of course, I couldn't help but get my camera and take this photo.

(I think the camo shorts go great with the boots :)

30 Rounds, 60 Rounds, 100 Rounds


The workhorse magazine for the M4/M16/AR15 rifles has been the 30-round magazine for several decades. The 30-round (and of course the original 20-round) aluminum magazines have produced by the millions, and are relied upon by our soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and several other wars and conflicts through much of recent history.

The standard load-out of 30 round magazines makes the soldier a formidable force when facing the enemy. What if you doubled, or even tripled (+10 rounds) the capacity of that magazine? SureFire has hit a homerun, and the buzz surrounding these 60-round and 100-round magazines is astounding.

SureFire has announced that the magazines are scheduled to ship in April 2011. Pre-order your 60-round and 100-round mags today, from Patriot Outfitters.com

Basic Tactical Gear

Troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and other combat areas are required to use basic tactical gear each time they deploy. In addition to the required gear such as the full uniform, a ballistic helmet and body armor - there’s a lot more to a complete set of tactical gear than military-issue basics.

Some tactical gear is based on personal preference – but it still has to meet the minimum military standards.

BlackHawk Tactical Packs


Today's modern day warriors and police not only have a great load of knowledge and skill to carry, they also have an enormous amount of gear they have to haul. Everything from flash bangs to laptops is needed to be carried by military and Law Enforcement professionals in today's conflicts.

Although the weight of mission specific gear is not easily reduced, the comfort and stability of how it rides can be improved. BlackHawk tactical packs are leading the way with reducing the stress of equipment on a soldiers and police officers body. Having a good well made pack can mean all the difference on the way your body feels after a day of marching or patrolling.

BlackHawk's line of tactical packs are some of the most comfortable and most durable packs on the market today. BlackHawk tactical packs orchestrate some of the most advanced materials in the world such as 1000 denier nylon, IVS back molding, YKK zippers, military rated straps and buckles.

BlackHawk's attention to detail is superb; every seam is triple stitched with military rated thread. BlackHawk was founded on the quest to make a military pack that would never fail and it has succeeded in doing so.

BlackHawk offers an array of different sized tactical packs ranging from small to large. You should try to pick a pack that fits your needs and what you usually carry on patrol or while on a combat tour.

The BlackHawk Patrol Pack is a great larger sized pack which will accommodate enough gear for several days. It is a top loader and includes several outer pouches and several interior pouches to organize everything from ammunition clips to canteens. The shoulder straps are contoured and are covered with non slip Hawktex material. It includes a removable padded waist belt and extra BTS pouch webbing for attaching more pouches or gear. The side pouches have slots that allow you to carry long items on the side of your pack. The patrol pack is hydration bladder compatible and includes closed cell foam back padding. All in all the BlackHawk Patrol pack is a great choice for an operator who has a large amount of gear to carry or has a multi day mission. The patrol pack comes in black, olive drab, coyote tan, and ACU.

The BlackHawk strike Cyclone hydration pack is a great moderate sized hydration equipped tactical pack which contains 1900 cubic inches of space. The entire outer body of the Titan pack is covered with molle webbing for attaching all of your extra gear and Molle pouches. It has two main compartments for storing all of your equipment. It also has an internal pouch for a radio and 3 antenna ports with flaps on the pack. The shoulder and waist straps are padded and the back panel is ventilated to keep you cool. This pack is great for tactical engagements that need you to have large amounts of equipment but you don't want it all hanging from your plate carrier vest. The Cyclone pack comes in black, coyote tan, olive drab, foliage green and ACU.

The BlackHawk 3-day assault backpack is one of the most popular packs for the military and Law Enforcement community today. It is low profile durable and very comfortable and can carry a wide array of different pieces of gear and is hydration system compatible. Three main compartments make it easy to keep gear separated, the shoulder straps and waist belt are padded and offer great support. The webbing on the bottom can be used to attach a sleep system in case you go on a multiple day patrol. This pack is a long lasting and hard working piece of equipment and is renowned by units around the world. The 3-day assault pack comes in ACU, black, coyote tan, and olive drab.
