About Devil Dog Concepts
Devil Dog Concepts, LLC was created in 2013 by former United States Marine Corps Sergeants; Camaron Hillman and Bob (Charp) Charpinsky.
Camaron, a former Military Working Dog Handler, and Charp, a former Infantry Marine, are Combat Veterans of the Iraq War and currently serve their community as active Police Officers and S.W.A.T. Team Members. Charp is also the Training Director for the New York Tactical Officers Association (NYTOA).
Through continuous training and with over 25 years of combined experience, they understand the need for any Operator/Shooter, in any environment, to continuously improve their capabilities. They understand that training is first and foremost the best way to improve ones capabilities. Second to this, is their equipment.
While conducting malfunction drills over and over on a training day, and one too many slips and smacks to the nose, something different had to be done to "fix" the problem. After trying out some different options with no avail, an idea was formed to attempt to create a better system. Development and testing began, and the HARD CHARGER Side Charging Handle System was created.
At Devil Dog Concepts our mission is to improve one's capabilities through the improvement of their equipment.
Our goal has always been, to help Save Lives.
Stay safe, stay vigilant, and as always...
Semper Fidelis!!
