PMCI - May 2021
It's that time again and even though parts of our world are still ravaged by COVID, Bill and Trampas have pulled out the stops to get another issue of PMCI up and online! The world doesn't stop turning, and neither do they stop "getting work done" as PMCI gets inside the doors of the cutting-edge WOFT Training Facility in the USA and has a look at what G&G Armament are doing with the Taiwanese Military in terms of "6MM Training" for the real world. While Trampas gets on the range with the SIG M18, whilst Bill turns his attention to packs and plate carriers; it may be hard to get stuff done right now, but as always PMCI deliver something for everyone when it comes to "tacticool"!

are using the blade with a traditional forward hammer grip or
reverse grip edge out (RGEO), these serrations allow for a deep
cut into biceps / triceps when trapping arms in extreme close
quarters, working the back of the neck or cleanly cutting through
denim material to sever a quadricep or hamstring.
The jimping around the knife’s pommel offers a great thumb
over style reverse grip. The pommel’s rounded point works well
for strikes to pressure points and other target areas. To aid in
retention, the pointed end of the pommel features a lanyard hole
large enough to loop 550 paracord. Anyone who has lost a knife
into the water during maritime activities or narrowly missed a toe
due to losing grip from a dropped knife during arduous cutting
task can fully appreciate a good lanyard retention cord.
The G10 scales on each side of the knife’s grip feature a
signature Darter Dragonfly pattern machined into them to go
along with the HSP dragonfly logo. HSP offers three color options
for these scales: Coyote, Disruptive Grey and Ranger Green with
offsetting-colored liners for an added flair. These beautifully cut
scales work well for retaining solid purchase on the knife and
complete blade control even in the harshest conditions such as
weather, sweat or blood.
Each knife comes complete with a Kydex Toor Flex-Tech
sheath with UltiClip for secure quick attachment inside the waist
band of your pants or gear pocket. If you wish to lash the taco
style sheath to any MOLLE equipped gear using 550 paracord,
the large open rivets running down the edge side. As an added
accessory to further illustrate how well thought out this sheath
is, it ships with an adhesive backed wrap material to affix it onto
gear via hook and loop method. I regularly run a HSP D3CRM
Micro chest rig when training with carbines such as the Uzi, MP5
and SBR AR and AK platforms. Since the magazine pouches are
mounted into the rig by sandwiching them along the inside back
panel via hook and loop, the sheath tucks in and holds rock solid
beside them in an easy to access vertical position. The sheath’s
blade retention allows for fast deployment while still confidently
holding in place while climbing or going to the ground.
