Warrior Expo – Safariland

Thursday, July 11th, 2013

Safariland has three cool new products. First is the 7000 series Injection Molded ALS holster. This process provides a tighter tolerance for weapon fitment and eliminates the internal suede fabric that many do not like due to the potential for water retention. Additionally, the injection molded nylon is more tolerant to high (300 deg F) and low (-60 deg F) temperatures than Kydex. I am very impressed with how smooth the pistol is stored and presented and the ALS button seems to be more smooth as well in the sample I tried out today. They are already available for Glock 9mm/.40 frames.

Second is an entirely new prototype, Kydex IWB holster. It’s so new that it doesn’t even have a name or model number. Even though it’s thin, it still features active retention. The loop is adjustable for height and cant. Available this Fall.

Finally is the Low Roll Distraction Device Simulator. It is the same weight, size, and shape as the actual, live device but designed specifically for training. It’s going to give you a noise level similar to a .38 round but there is no flash, heat, or over pressure. It comes in a kit consisting of a standard CO2 tank, filler, 4-6 bodies and safety levers and pins as well as box of diaphragm reloads. Since its made from a steel body, you can toss it through windows but you are looking at around $7-10 per shot compared to over $60 for a real device plus the safety considerations.

Enfield Rifle Company

MERC415 left

The modern Enfield Rifle Company is a brand-new company located in Clayton, Georgia, and they just so happen to be big fans of ours. The first of their product line available is the MERC415 carbine, named as such due to it being an M4-style AR-15. The upper receiver is forged from T6 7075 A3 style aluminum and features M4 feed cuts, engraved T-marks, and a 16″ M4 profile barrel made from 4150 CMV steel, with a 1:7 twist. The lower receiver is also forged from T6 7075 aluminum and is mil 8625 type III hard coat anodized with a mil-sized 6-position buffer tube and rear receiver sling loop. The MERC415 is built to MERC’s own Mil-G.R.A.D.E. (Military-Government Requirements and Data Equivalent) standard. This is Enfield’s term to describe their firearms, built similarly to what is marketed as a mil-spec weapon, without any implications that its design follows the US Government Technical Data Package’s exact specifications.

Enfield Rifle Company has a great-looking website that is currently up-and-running, and features the full specifications of their MERC415 carbine, along with further explanation of the Mil-G.R.A.D.E. term, and how it differs from mil-spec. At the moment, MERC is currently seeking only one official dealer in each state due to overseas commitments, although the MERC415 can be directly ordered through the company and delivered to your FFL of choice.
