PIG FDT Delta+ Glove TAD Edition

Thursday, April 23rd, 2020

For what it’s worth, PIG gloves are easily my favorite tactical glove currently available on the market. The design allows for incredibly dexterous hand movement while utilizing a glove, and they have a great selection of features, including the touchscreen compatible forefinger and thumb, the elastic wrist for easier don and doff, and the paracord pull loop.

Well, equally awesome small batch gear and apparel company Triple Aught Design is partnering up with PIG to produce a PIG FDT Delta+ Glove TAD Edition. The FTD Delta+ TAD Edition is exclusive to Triple Aught Design, and features a single layer leather palm upgrade over the standard PIG gloves, making these more robust for hard field use. The forefinger and thumb feature a carbon impregnated leather to retain touchscreen compatibility, while the rest of the glove is made of a two-way stretch poly material with TAD’s trademark 3D topo screen print accents, and the paracord wrist pull also sports an integrated TAD logo.

Unfortunately, the PIG FDT Delta+ TAD Edition gloves aren’t yet available for direct purchase. Rather, they’re currently up as a timed project on TAD’s website, available for pre-order with about 8 days left before the project closes, at the time of writing. TAD also noted on their Facebook page that “[They] can’t promise a restock at this time due to long manufacturing lead times. This might be your only opportunity to secure a pair for 2020.” So, if you want to jump on these, you better do it soon!

PIG FDT Delta+ TAD Edition gloves are being offered in four colors: Black, Carbon Grey, Coyote Brown, and Ranger Green; sizes S – 2XL.

NEW “SideSlinger” Scoped Leather Holster by TANDEMKROSS

Friday, April 10th, 2020

For Immediate Release
April 10, 2020

WEARE, NH — TANDEMKROSS is excited to announce the launch of our latest high quality firearm accessory. Introducing the all new “SideSlinger” Scoped Leather Holster.
Every detail of this premier holster has been carefully tailored to ensure it truly stands out in a crowd. Made of high qual­ity, full-grain brown leather, this holster will last its user a lifetime. Even the edges have been burnished and hand dyed for a beautiful finish.

This holster comfortably fits a number of the most popular single stack .22lr platforms in use. The “SideSlinger” fits the Ruger® Mark™ and Mark 22/45™ Series, Smith & Wesson® SW22 VICTORY®, and most Browning® Buck Mark models. This is partly thanks to a double button strap that allows the wearer to keep their pistol safe and secure by adjusting the proper level of tension necessary for their specific pistol.

The “SideSlinger” is scoped, meaning there is a section cut out to make space for wearers’ various optics setups. More than that, the end is open in order to allow for various barrel lengths and aftermarket barrel attachments as well.

“The TANDEMKROSS ‘SideSlinger’ was designed from the beginning to fulfill the need for a high quality leather holster for many popular rimfire pistols using red dots and other optics. The ‘SideSlinger’ is hand crafted in the US using top quality leather and is built for a lifetime of use.” — Eric Paulson Business Development Manager
