The AquaGuard slows opening and closing down a bit due to the extra material on the zipper track, but the added protection they offer is worth the tradeoff. It has two zipper heads facing opposite directions, which is nice for accessing just half the pack at a time. The main compartment zipper is a YKK #8 AquaGuard that sits flush with the top of the pack. The pack has three zippers: two on the exterior and one on the interior. Throw it in your carry-on or packed bag, unroll it when you arrive, and use it as your daily carry to explore your destination. This makes the pack extremely portable, which is excellent for traveling. The material is so lightweight that we can fold it or roll it up to stow it in a daypack or even a large coat pocket. Bellroy Lite Sling | Durable & recycled, what a combination! The material is just as durable as other diamond ripstop textiles we’ve tested in the past but is much more lightweight. The polyester is made from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles, which gives the fabric a slight crunch when compressed, though we don’t find it annoying. We love the look of our Shadow pack, but if you fancy something a little more saturated, you’re out of luck. Chalk is punchy but not too in your face, and Shadow is sleek yet matte. ![]() At the time of writing, it comes in Chalk and Shadow, which are black and off-white for all intents and purposes. ![]() Bellroy Lite Sling | The sling can go just about anywhere.īellroy keeps things simple with the entire Lite Collection as far as colorways go.

Like the daypack and the rest of the Lite Collection, the Bellroy Lite Sling features a textured diamond ripstop polyester with a waterproof coating. Can the ultralight materials hold up to Bellroy’s reputation for durability backed up by offerings like the Venture Sling? Let’s find out! Materials & Aesthetic Bellroy has made a name for itself using quality materials but went a lot lighter (or lite-er) with this cross-body sling. As we will explain, it features a similar design but has a smaller liter capacity and is much lighter.

I went to visit her and she took me to a tattoo parlor-she knew I wanted to get rid of the ones that people could see-and I went and the guy poured acid on my skin. ![]() My older brother had an ex-girlfriend who I was really close with. “They were trashy-I looked like trash and I wasn’t-they were hand-done. She also had the tattoos removed from her knuckles. He put the acid onto my skin and it smoked. He went over it with the gun and made the bones into flowers.” When I was about 18 I went to a professional place and asked the artist if he could hide it somehow. “I was a stupid 14-year-old in a punk stage and that’s what I got,” she says.

Some popular Container formats are MP4, MKV, AVI, WMA, etc. On the other hand, Video Containers are containers that hold all the information about the video files like metadata, subtitles, and encoded files(as defined by the codecs). H.265 is growing and becoming very popular these days. Some of the popular codec formats are FFMpeg, H.264, and H.265. There are a variety of codecs available and the quality of the output depends upon the codec used. This is done to save bandwidth consumption while maintaining good quality. Video Containers and codecs go hand in hand, therefore the difference between the two can be confusing.Ĭodecs are protocols that are used to encode video files. So let us understand how video encoding works:ĭifference between Video Containers and Codecs Such compression is achieved by form information encoding. Video Compression helps to reduce the byte size of a digital file without reducing the actual quality of the video itself. It helps with the portability of the digital files.

The same shooting efficiency, speed and precision that kept Kennedy alive on the battlefield put victory in Sevigny’s hands. It became apparent during training that, though Kennedy and Sevigny come from very different backgrounds, their philosophies are almost identical. We put thousands of rounds downrange during a series of instructor-led drills. After a product briefing, Kennedy and Sevigny ran the group through a fast-paced live-fire training program using the 509 LS Edge. I was one of a handful of individuals who traveled to the Georgia coast to meet with Kennedy, Sevigny and the rest of the FN team for an extensive hands-on experience. This was not the case with me and the 509 LS Edge. (Michael Anschuetz / FN America LLC photo)īecause of deadlines and limited resources, gunwriters seldom get to put as many rounds through a firearm as they would like. Themes of speed and control are evident throughout the 509 LS Edge to include an oversized, knurled magazine-release button, tactile texturing and interchangeable backstraps. This puts it comfortably between the Glock 17 MOS and G34 MOS ($720) in terms of size. The LS Edge has a 5-inch barrel and an overall length of 8.2 inches. The slide’s Graphite-color Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish contrasts slightly with the black polymer frame, and it’s a handsome look. The first feature a person sees on the 509 LS Edge is the long, scalloped slide with several milling cuts. The result is an impressive handgun that is immediately recognizable as something different. Their unique perspectives meant that the design was balanced and didn’t become too tactical or too racy. Some might call him the “Tom Brady of handgun shooting.” (Michael Anschuetz / FN America LLC photo)įN’s engineers spent two years developing the 509 LS Edge with constant input from Kennedy and Sevigny. He is one of the most successful competitive shooters ever, with 253 major championship wins including 13 USPSA national titles. Sevigny comes from another perspective altogether. Kennedy knows what it means to trust your life to a firearm. His path took him into Special Forces, which resulted in numerous combat deployments as part of the elite Crisis Response Force (CRF).

The 509 LS Edge rivals the SIG Sauer XFive Legion ($999), HK VP9L OR ($949), and Walther Q5 Match Steel Frame Pro ($1,649).įirearm engineers and product managers are not typically experienced endusers of the guns they are designing. With a list price of $1,499, the LS Edge commands a premium, but as I found out through recent training, many believe it’s worth it. ![]() Until the 2021 launch of the 509 LS Edge, the one pistol missing from FN’s lineup was a gun suited equally for duty use or competitive pursuits. FN developed the polymer-framed, striker-fired semiauto into a family that include full-size, compact, tactical and midsize versions. Since appearing on the July 2017 cover of Guns & Ammo, FN’s flagship handgun line has been the 509. ![]() FN 509 LS Edge pistol (Michael Anschuetz / FN America LLC photo) In 1981, FN built a manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina, which led to a commercial expansion that included handguns. subsidiary in the 1980s to produce M240 and M249 belt-fed machineguns under contract for the U.S. One of the best examples of this emerging hybrid breed of production handguns is the new FN 509 LS Edge, a pistol that’s certain to make waves.įN is one of the oldest names in firearm manufacturing, having manufactured iconic battle-tested small arms from the P.35 to the FAL. Custom companies may have driven the change, but major gun manufacturers are adapting as well. As a result, fighting handguns have increasingly adopted those performance-based features. More than two decades of constant warfare, much of it at close quarters, has driven significant innovations in the firearms industry. Lightened slides, electro-optics and features such as flared magazine wells used to be exclusive to race guns for competition. The lines between handguns used for defense and competition are sometimes blurred. |
