Welcome to the latest issue of PMCI - the only publication dedicated to Private Military Contractors. This time the PMCI team bring you their report from one of the biggest Defence Industry shows in the world, the might behemoth that is DSEI. As usual though, you'll find the mix of training, equipment, tools and firearms articles that you've come to expect. Our good friend Eli from Project GECKO once again joins us with his unique perspective on things tactical, Trampas builds his ultimate "Instructors Rifle" and, of course, the rest of the team pitch with their take on all the things that make a contractor tick!

strap it’s a solid piece of kit that feels right as soon as you put it on.<br />
The Canyon Digital Compass features an innovative digital<br />
second hand allowing users to visualise seconds counting down<br />
based on their needs, as they would with a traditional analogue<br />
watch, and coupled with an enlarged time readout the digital<br />
second hand enables you to complete any job with precision<br />
and ease. Featuring a ruler (cm/in) and Morse Code guide on<br />
the back of the band you will be equipped for any situation, and<br />
STEALTH MODE switches the tactical watch to mute as you enter<br />
silent tactical situations.<br />
This however is not what I’d call “subtle” as at 2.4in / 60mm<br />
long, 2.1in / 55.5mm wide, and 0.6in / 15.5mm thick this is<br />
a timepiece and tool that looks like it really means business,<br />
although the broad band width of 0.9in / 24mm makes it very<br />
comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. Functions<br />
include World Time and three alarms in addition to the compass<br />
feature, and the watch is waterproof to 10 metres. So far it’s<br />
proved to be a first rate watch, but of course I’ll report back later<br />
with a long-term test report<br />
NEW AND IMPROVED<br />
As a few of us at <strong>PMCI</strong> have been running First Tactical gear<br />
for a while, and have been extremely pleased with design,<br />
performance and durability we know that they are a brand we<br />
can trust, and in turn recommend to you, and the good news is<br />
that new models currently being introduced have really moved<br />
their game forward.<br />
Earlier this year at SHOT their head designer, Cory, introduced<br />
me to the new “Defender” shirt and pant, and I have to say<br />
that this is to date the most overtly tactical clothing that they’ve<br />
put together! First Tactical’s Defender Series Shirts are the best<br />
of both worlds again; performance built to handle any mission<br />
while maintaining the sharp look needed when on by the<br />
professional user. In the performance department specialised<br />
pockets boast ample space for oversized gear, a specialised yoke<br />
eliminates unwanted bulk, and oversized sleeve pockets accept<br />
patches or embroidery. Creating the perfect warm weather<br />
shirt was at the forefront of their design as articulated elbows,<br />
