PMCI - September 2021
It's been another hard slog for the PMCI crew this time, as curbs on international travel continue to curb our ability to actually get together but as usual, Bill and Trampas have pulled yet another great issue out of the (drag!) bag - and it's a very special one that headlines with a "Dream Rifle Build" that replicates the iconic Ruger Mini 14 as used by "Hannibal and the Team"... We do love it when a plan comes together! We're also joined again by Jim W, who brings a deep-dive insight into the world of profiling and we look in detail at what some of our favourite manufacturers have been up to, landing our test reports in full! All in all, it may have taken just a bit more time, and some serious "logistics juggling" to get this issue together but we hope you'll agree it's been worth the wait!

DIRECT ACTION – GEAR UPDATES
DIRECT ACTION – GEAR UPDATES
It’s been a little while since we spoke about new gear from the team over at Direct Action in Poland,
but as usual Editor Bill has been keeping a very close eye on their latest developments and innovations
for the tactical user! With some great new models available now he brings in an update of kit that he’s
already tried and tested extensively! - BT
Let’s face it, 2021 has been a challenging year for
businesses in many industries, and the tactical gear
manufacturers and innovators have had just the
same hoops to jump through as the others. Raw
material costs, fabric costs, and especially “goods
inwards” costs have all spiralled and continue to do
so. Add to this problematic shipping and outrageous
lead times for raw materials and specialist parts/
components and I’m amazed that anyone has got
anything meaningful done during the last twelve
months!
However, as I’ve recently noted in other articles there ARE
manufacturers that have got complete handle on all these
disparate elements, and they have not only continued to do
good business, but have actually thrived in adversity, and
given the folk involved behind the scenes with Direct Action I
am not at all surprised that they have come out of the “Days
of C-virus” at the head of the pack. As I said when I last wrote
about Direct Action, “as with any relationship the backbone is
one of mutual trust and respect, and over the past few years I
have really come to respect and trust the guys at Direct Action
immensely”, and if anything their output during a time when
lesser companies have faltered and wobbled has increased my
respect for them even further!
