What started out as an April Fool’s Day posting by 5.11 has gone live. You can place an order for the Tactical Duty Kilt, or TDK, from the 5.11 website, for delivery by September 1.
I have a friend who offered to make me one, so I may have one before then.

FTC disclaimer: I just thought this was awesome, I get no consideration from 5.11.
May 1 has traditionally been observed by socialists and communists the world over as their labor day.
I read some really good posts today about it, so rather than try to add my own, I offer the following.

Now, you hippies get back to work.

A discussion on Twitter last night about the best .22LR guns of all time poked my memory, so I did a little search this morning, and ran across this review of the Ruger 10/22 that appeared in the September 1964 issue of American Rifleman.
It’s interesting to me that there’s nothing in the review that surprised me, or, for that matter, was different from what you would expect from a modern review of a 10/22 coming off the line today.

Okay, yall. I’m jumping in.
This bad boy is officially on order through my local gun dealer, Michael of Dogleg Arms. That was Mike in the blog header, before Stan Weber posted the current one on Twitter.
Obviously, I’m going to attempt to build one. My plan is to build a home defense gun, and my first specs include a 16 inch barrel, red dot sight co-witnessed with flip up iron sights. And . . . drum roll . . . a suppressor. I plan on setting up a NFA trust for the suppressor as soon as I can, since that will be the long lead item.
As for the rest of it, I’m in no particular hurry, except that, for some reason, I get the feeling I need to be done before the first Tuesday in November
Hold on, everybody. Here we go.
