Magpul recently announced the addition of several colors to their C.O.R.E. glove line. Originally launched in black only, the new colors include charcoal gray, coyote, and sage for the Flight line. Magpul’s C.O.R.E. gloves are just a part of the large push by Magpul to become a full service clothing provider, as well as an outstanding firearm accessory manufacturer.
The new colors cross the entire line of C.O.R.E. gloves, including their Patrol, Breach, FR Breach, and Flight glove lines for law enforcement. Magpul has already established themselves as a premier AR-15 and Glock magazine and accessory maker, so it will be interesting to see if they can successfully expand their product line. We’re hoping Magpul spent as much time developing these gloves, as they have in perfecting their magazines and accessories. Something tells me they have.
Magpul Dynamics is now Magpul CORE.
Magpul C.O.R.E.
In 2007, Magpul Industries launched [easyazon_link identifier=”B00373PEVW” locale=”US” tag=”bluesheecom-20″]Magpul Dynamics[/easyazon_link], a firearms training division focused on the development of firearms manipulation skills, in many ways changing the nature of firearms training at a fundamental level. As new staff came on board, Magpul Dynamics focused inwards engaging in more skill development and general outreach to end users. Magpul Dynamics continued to train, but also immersed themselves in the product development process, producing over 50 innovative new offerings.
Firearms training continues to be a significant part of the overall Magpul experience, but there has been expansion into a variety of additional subjects including adventure, fieldcraft, fitness, competition, hunting, and others. It was during this transformation that the Magpul Dynamics team felt a new name better captured the evolved mission – [easyazon_link identifier=”B016MUJD1S” locale=”US” tag=”bluesheecom-20″]Magpul CORE[/easyazon_link].

Final Thoughts
Law enforcement officers face a number of environments and situations where gloves are not only necessary, they must meet exacting occupational requirements. Though we have not tested the [easyazon_link identifier=”B01I1I7QKE” locale=”US” tag=”bluesheecom-20″]C.O.R.E. gloves[/easyazon_link] in the field, they appear to be purpose-built for duty, and offer just about every coverage officers may need (except maybe extreme cold). New colors provide variety and coordination with other uniform items. The versatility of three-finger touchscreen capability, while maintaining leather palm protection, and Nomex/Kevlar on certain selections. Overall these appear to be very well-built and duty minded gloves.
