Continuing on the research from my earlier article: A REAL URBAN GREY? PART1 , basically the summary is I'm looking for a better urban grey solid color. After a whole lot of testing with flat samples and finding some color zones I thought worked well, I knew it was time to start moving on to 3D testing which is the final intended use. Starting with an old ass 511 shirt and pair of Tru-Spec pants the results were surprisingly positive.

A Real Urban Grey?

Created: Sunday, 05 April 2015 06:53

A problem I have come across lately is that we use warm greys in our patches and when doing this for custom work we sometimes get the not so happy inquiry on why the greys look brown. As it turns out, the go-to colors what most people think is grey actually doesn't match much in an urban environment. These civilian greys end up too blue or even if pure neutral, they don't have enough warmth to the color. Although concrete starts out some sort of grey, the outside is a dirty place and dirt tends to be brown.

Stay In the Fight!! : Warrior's Guide To The Combat Pistol
Folks out there may be familiar with Kyle's Green Eyes and Black Rifles book which was a great rifle resource, and now as a great follow up, Stay In The Fight really packs a punch as a combat pistol book. The author, Kyle Lamb, is one of the true been there done that operators excelling in not only combat experience, but teaching skill as well. Coming in at a beefy 378 pages, the amount covered is robust and highly appreciated. Rather than being split up in a bunch of sub-section books all you need for a solid combat pistol education is covered in this one book.

Corps Strength - Book Review

Clearly I don't read as much as I should hence there not being a perfect category on my site for this review; none the less I wanted to share one of my self improvement experiences. If I remember correctly Paul read my SWAT Basic article (likely got a good laugh) and was generous enough to offer to get his latest book out my way to help get in better shape. Paul Roarke, aka Master Gunz, is a former U.S. Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant and currently works as physical / leadership trainer which after reading Corps Strength brings a lot of insight on how he came up with the system and is great to see he continues to practice what he preaches. (Expanded Bio) Being 50 and still being able to smoke youngsters at PT says a lot to me about the results of his fitness concepts and proves long term sustainability.
