About two years ago at SHOT Show 2013 I received an unexpected gift from my friend, Dave Reeder. At the time, it was a bit of a unicorn, a Legion Firearms LF-P40. It’s a unique .40 cal 1911 variant built specifically for Legion Firearm by STI. It’s a beefy gun with a double stack magazine, and lots of angles. I’ve never had a holster for it, until now.
Today, I was invited to visit High Threat Concealment to check out their recently expanded shop, and they asked me to bring the pistol along. While I was there, they made a custom Kydex holster for the LF-P40. As you can see from the images, the holster is a perfect fit, right down to Legion’s signature honeycomb pattern on the slide.
I have been talking to the CORTAC guys for a while now and this is pretty big news for them. They’ve got an interesting technology and I can’t wait to see what Safariland has in store for their system.
May 14, 2014 – HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. – CORTAC announces they have secured an exclusive distribution and OEM integration agreement with The Safariland Group, the manufacturers of Second Chance®, ABA® and Protech Tactical® brands of body armor. The agreement grants The Safariland Group exclusive CTAV OEM integration into armor carrier systems and CTAV Retrofit Kit™ and Shirt Carrier System (SCS)™ distribution rights for the United States Law Enforcement market, both state and local.
The CTAV combines the power of Advanced Impact Resistance technology (AIR)™ and the science of EverDryTM to significantly enhance the comfort of wearing concealable vests, outer vest carriers and tactical body armor, while also providing an additional layer of protection from ballistic and non-ballistic blunt trauma.
“The CTAV is a proven technology that will have a huge impact in the body armor market. CORTAC has solved the age-old problem of excessive body heat being trapped between armor and the body. Officers are often in adverse conditions such as extreme heat so the CTAV really is a game changer when it comes to comfort. We are very excited to partner with CORTAC to offer this technology to our customers,” said Todd Mackler, The Safariland Group Vice President of Armor.
“We are excited that The Safariland Group will be co-branding and providing sales and distribution for the United States Law Enforcement sector,” said Mike Letterman, CEO of CORTAC. “Their distribution system, combined with our CTAV product line, significantly strengthens our mutual ability to put the CTAV into the hands of law enforcement and corrections personnel, where it is greatly needed.” Letterman also added, “This paves the way for The Safariland Group and CORTAC to work closely on other military and international projects.”
Shellback Tactical has announced that their Banshee Plate Carrier is now available in A-TACS AU camouflage. This comes in addition to the following color options previously availble: Black, Coyote Tan, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.
The Banshee Plate Carrier is a low cost, Berry compliant plate carrier designed to meet and exceed the needs of Law Enforcement, Military, and Private Military operators. Ultra lightweight and low profile, the Banshee features 5 rows of PALS webbing and two 2″ rows of loop sewn on for ID, flag, or other patches. The front pocket of the carrier has a hook/loop kangaroo pocket for accessories. The front and back panels of the Banshee are padded on the carrier side of the body, and rifle plates are loaded from the bottom and secured with a hook/loop closure.
The Banshee comes standard with a removable cummerbund that features PALS webbing on the interior and exterior to accept slide plates or other pouches. Also standard is a secondary nylon strap system with removable quick release buckles if the cummerbund isn’t required.
