Twyne said he has not been able to work in nearly a month and his life has been turned upside down.

Remington designed their 6.8mm Special Purpose Cartridge (SPC) to have improved terminal performance over the 5.56mm NATO, which is the cartridge currently used by the U.S. military. Specifically designed to perform better when fired from carbines and Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Remington collaborated with special ops troops and the Army Marksmanship Unit to develop the 6.8 SPC. Development began in 2002, and field trials took place in 2004. The military did not adopt the cartridge, but field trials did show an interest in returning to a larger caliber rifle for applications other than sniping.

The Combat Master belt holster is a professional-grade holster constructed of the top 2% of premium steerhide available in America. The holster is hand-molded by Galco�s experienced craftsmen to fit specific handguns, which now includes the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 9mm. The holster uses a forward cant for concealment, and the high-riding pancake-style design places the belt slots on either side of the holster. This pulls the handgun tight to the body and makes defensive handguns disappear under even light clothing. The Combat Master for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 9mm has an MSRP of $99.
