Hogue Inc. has released brand-new beavertail AR grips. The grips are ergonomically designed and include an orthopedic hand shape with compound palm swells and proportioned finger grooves that position the hand naturally. A super strong yet lightweight reinforcing insert directly engages with the rifle action for a rock-solid grip fit. They are designed to provide an extended trigger pull and the integrated rear upper extension supports the web of the shooter’s hand. The cobblestone texture features a non-slip, non-irritation stippling pattern. The grips feature Hogue Inc.’s OverMolded technology with modern durable rubber which is virtually impervious to all oils and solvents found around firearms.

The beavertail grips were issued NSNs:

Black – 1005-01-621-2345

Desert Tan – 1005-01-621-2340

ADS Inc – Tactical Communications: C4ISR Expanding the Grid

Thursday, September 5th, 2013

We helped put some content together for the latest volume of the ADS Tactical Catalog. In addition to a section of tactical lighting we also prepared some background on C4ISR (Yes, I know that the term C5ISR is coming into vogue but that extra “C” really doesn’t add any value to the acronym).

The communications technology available to our warfighers has made huge advances in recent years. Today’s C4ISR systems offer an unprecedented level of tactical communications, providing boots on the ground access to a global information grid of shared data and information sources. As with all technology, C4ISR systems are constantly evolving in complexity to support these new capabilities. Now, more than ever, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the communications functions required to effectively complete your mission, narrow down the best available solutions, and identify the most efficient way to procure them – whether by upgrading your existing equipment with accessories or transitioning over to a completely new system.

I found out about Notch Gear from the folks at King’s Arsenal. When I first looked at the hat design it didn’t click right away. Not until I saw the photo below. And then it all made sense.
