I once made Tactical Life part of my daily scan around the net but got away from it. I'm back to it though, especially after reading this....
While the PSD is compact, the British special operations community wanted something even smaller. Several manufacturers, including LWRCI and HK, submitted subcompact rifles for evaluation and, at the end of a rigorous selection process, LWRCI was selected to fill the requirement. The rifle that was designed for the British has been designated as the Ultra-Compact Individual Weapon, or UCIW, and was first displayed at an industry trade show in 2011. When I visited the LWRCI booth, I was impressed with the balance and compactness of the UCIW and immediately requested an upper to test and evaluate. Our test sample was the first unit released for editorial evaluation.Wow. If the Brits have this chambered in 6.8 then they might have something unique and special. British Special Ops will probably be outfitted with them at the Olympics. I'll be keeping an eye out to hopefully see one in the wild.
