HOG Saddle – Then and Now
Monday, March 11th, 2013One of the cool things about being with SSD is seeing how products change over time. We received this photo earlier today from out friends at Shadow Tech LLC.
This is an early model HOG Saddle from 2006 next to the current MOD7 HOG Saddle. It’s pretty cool to step back and look at a wild idea turned viable product, being used in Afghanistan to kill Taliban.

TacJobs – Hardpoint Tactical
Sunday, March 10th, 2013Hardpoint Tactical/Equipment is changing the way we do sales. Now that we’ve finally been able to build up enough inventory to have a sufficient quantity on hand, we are initiating a nationwide sales rep program, the first of its kind for us.
We have always found that our gear sells naturally, when put in the hands of those who can appreciate it and explained by those who understand it. That’s where you come in.
Actual sales experience is preferred, but not required. What is required is a passion for excellence, a proper appreciation for the significant advantages our products offer over the competition, and solid contacts within the industry.
Compensation is entirely performance based, with some of the highest percentages offered anywhere.
Please send your letter of interest to email@hrdpnt.com, Attn: Thomas.

These “soldiers of extinction” are led by Craig “Saw,” team leader, Navy SEAL (fmr.), and includes Jeff “Biggs,” sniper, Navy SEAL (fmr.); Rob, intel, Navy SEAL (ret.); and “Oz,” medic, Green Beret.

LaRue Decides Not To Pursue US Army M110 Sniper Rifle Upgrade
Sunday, March 10th, 2013After determining that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze, LaRue Tactical has decided to opt out of the US Army’s US Army’s Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS) program which, as currently structured could resu in a replacement for the current M110 gas operated sniper rifle.
LaRue’s Thoughts on the M110 Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS).
It’s no secret that LaRue Tactical is one of the contenders for the US Army’s Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System (CSASS). The CSASS solicitation is exploring the options for reconfiguring the existing M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) currently available in Army inventory, or completely replacing the M110 with a new system.
At the recent SHOT Show, aisle-talk centered on impending and drastic military cuts. Rumors were flying, from aircraft carriers missing important scheduled maintenance, to drastically-reduced training flights, to warships stacking up in Pacific harbors …
Given the tsunami of cutbacks our military organizations are crashing head-on into, we feel the substantial costs required for LaRue Tactical to pursue the upcoming CSASS / M110-Upgrade would simply be a waste of resources.
While we believe that America’s Warfighters should always have the best, and that we are large enough to handle the project, our consensus is that the program will not gain full traction. We feel our money is better spent invested in people, processes, manufacturing infrastructure, and continued improvements to our product lines.
Henceforth, we are officially opting-out of the CSASS / M110-Upgrade solicitation.
However, let it be known that our doors are always open for OTS/OTC purchases … like recent customers: FBI-HRT, DEA, U.S. Marshals, DoE, Texas Rangers, just to name a few …
