Post image for Mil-Spec Plastics Cobra Cuff Restraint Testing and Evaluation Video

We’ve just released our testing footage for our Mil-Spec Plastics Cobra Cuff review a few months back and we wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Cobra Cuffs and Mil-Spec Plastics’ Zip-Style Restraints are the first Mil/LE style restraint we’re proud to endorse after thoroughly testing them in each of the methods we’ve shown that will defeat standard store bought Zip Ties.

Please refer to our review article for more information on Cobra Cuffs and the video below for our testing. While the video below shows just a few of the many tests we put these restraints through, it will give you a general idea of our testing procedures. [Read More…]

Post image for Milspec Plastics Cobra Cuffs Giveaway!

You may remember the article we wrote awhile back about Restraints We’re Proud to Endorse from Milspec Plastics. Recently Milspec Plastics contacted us to see if we’d be interested in running a giveaway for our Military and Law Enforcement/.Gov readers!

Of course we would! As mentioned in our article we’re extremely impressed by the quality, construction and strength of these Cobra Cuffs and are proud to endorse them for Military and Law Enforcement applications.

Update: Virius is the winner of the Mil-Spec Plastics Cobra Cuffs Giveaway. Thanks to all of you that entered and stay tuned for more contests! [Read More…]

Post image for Restraints We’re Proud to Endorse

We’re thrilled to be releasing this article today, as we’ve finally found a product that we feel deserves our endorsement for Military and Law Enforcement use. We’re not trying to sound arrogant, but we’ve tested a lot of restraints and broken just as many.

We strongly believe that if Plastic Restraints have a purpose in Military and Law Enforcement use, they should be strong, durable, and able to resist a overhead brute force attack. What Milspec Plastics has done is create not one but two solid options that we’re proud to say have the toughest locking mechanisms we’ve ever tested.

Their Cobra Cuff and Tactical Zip Tie represent a reassurance in restraints that we thought we wouldn’t find for some time, and a company that’s dedicated to producing a product that will keep our officers and soldiers safe. [Read More…]

Post image for Protecting Against Home Invasions

With more than hundreds of home invasions happening every year here in the United States, we’d like to present some tips on what you can do to not only protect yourself and your family, but how to fortify your home to better resist becoming a victim.

There’s a notable difference between a burglary and a home invasion, that being you. If you’re home, it’s a home invasion. If you’re not, it’s a burglary plain and simple. Criminals don’t always know what they’re walking into during the day, but at night its a different story. Most home invasions happen between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays and weekends.

A criminal that breaks into a residence at night is expecting a confrontation of some kind. Hopefully it will be short lived when you shoot them dead, but as we’ve mentioned before in “Dealing with Violent Confrontations” you should always avoid a confrontation if possible. This is the same in a home invasion scenario, not by using the same methods, but by using some forward thinking to deny criminals the opportunity.

Using the tips we’ll share below will help you in avoiding this kind of confrontation and better protect you and your family. [Read More…]
