Brian,
As far as the gloves go, they are great. In the 4 months that I’ve been wearing them, I have not had any problems with stitching coming undone or other defects due to construction or design. They were initially a little tight around the fingers, but they broke in within 3-4 uses and I have not had any comfort issues wearing them since then. The hardened knuckles are both intimidating and practical, as I’ve smacked my hands a number of times that would have seriously hurt me and damaged other gloves.
I do have a slight problem that the black dye from the palm surfaces tends to bleed onto my hands when I sweat, which is something that you spend a lot of time doing out here. However, the more that I wear them, the less they bleed.
One modification that I felt needed was the addition of a hole on each glove that I can use to clip them to my gear. I did this by punching a hole through the grip spot on the inside of the cuffs. That area seemed more reinforced than the rest of the glove and I have not had any problems with ripping.
The microdot grip system is really outstanding. I do not have the loss of tactile sensation with your gloves that I’ve had with other others – I still feel like I’ve got a sense of touch while wearing them. The grip tape is really great. I have it on the grip of both my pistol and rifle. It gives me a sure sense to total control when using my weapons, even if I don’t have a full grip on them. Where it really shines is when I am not wearing the gloves – it adds a bit of padding that helps me get a really solid grip without overgripping, no matter how hard I squeeze.
In short, your gloves are great. I really like the grip system, they provide the same or greater protection as other manufacturers’ contemporary nomex gloves, and they have a level of quality put into their production that I have not seen in other tactical gloves.
I’ve forwarded your email to some of the other members on our detail who received your gloves, so you should be hearing from them as well. Sorry again for the delay in response – I hope to send you some more feedback in another few months.

Thanks for the gloves Brian,
Line of Fire has a great product, and the tegs system is something that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
I use them every day here in Helmand Province, I have the blast cuffs on my gloves, it adds a bi more peace of mind to know I have a little added protection, and a very positive gripping system, no more fumbling with slippery magazines mate!
Cheers!

Brian,
Thanks for sending me off with the 3-2-1 sling as you can see {photo attached}. I have been issued the M-92 Yugo underfolder, it is the perfect sling for this configuration (shorty) as it resides comfortably at my side ready for deployment at any given moment, in addition I can climb into any aircraft, or armored vehicle hands free, and the weapon system is already oriented in a safe downward angle.
As for the gloves and tape, the tegs system really works, as this part of the world has a very fine silica type sand over time it has a lubricating effect on virtually every gloved surface I've tried in the past. The tegs system defeats this with very little efffort on my part, just by using the peel and stick tape on to the weapon system, I have the peace of mind knowing I have positive control when I need it.
Personal Best!!

Thank you so much for the gloves, they work great. I have used them a few times at the range out here and have loved them. As you know with the drawdown going on over here in Iraq our mission tempo is pretty low, not like my previous deployment. But i thank you so much for them, i have been looking at the bags you sell online and am thinking about purchasing one in the future. I am leaving the army when our deployment is over and have been looking for a job in the weapon repair/armorer type jobs and i know this bag will work great for me. So thank you again for the gloves and feel free to use the testimonial that you have.
Thank you,

Brian,
I received my hybrid case and wanted to share a couple ideas with you. First of all, this case is the best designed gun case I have ever seen-bar none; the hard sides, the quality of the fabric, the workmanship in construction, and of course the design. I have never seen a case with such an effective retention system, a system that can be used for different shaped guns without modifications. The only other case design that holds a gun as securely and protectively is the type where there are 3 levels of foam with the middle cut out to fit a certain weapon(s). With that design you need to replace the middle layer for each different gun. Additionally the ample side pocket, with the removable and transportable magazine holders is brilliant- and again unique.
I strongly suggest that you explore marketing your hybrid cases through Cabela’s, Midway USA, and any other high volume seller of these types of accessories. I think it likely that were you to be able to offer this on their websites the response would be overwhelmingly positive. I am only regretful that I am not able to participate in the marketing of such a fine invention. Please feel free to use my evaluation in any efforts. I have been around and handling firearms for 50 years and have seen no other case that provides comparable features.
