Specter Gear has released their new line of Spartan Series Tactical Thigh Holsters. The holsters are constructed from four layers of heavy duty ballistic nylon with a two layer 1000D Cordura nylon outer shell. The holster is permanently attached to a vertically adjustable triple layer 2″ wide scuba webbing hanger strap.
The leg strap, which is removable and reversible, is made from 2″ webbing with a heavy duty side release buckle closure, and heavy duty elastic loops which allow for expansion of the thigh straps during movement, as well as two rows of imbedded rubber stitching on the inside to prevent shifting and movement of the holster.
The Spartan Series is available for most popular handgun models, including the 1911A1 series, Beretta M9/92/96, Glock 17/22/31, SIG P220/P226, XD-9/40/45, and S&W M&P9/40/45.
Color options: Black, Coyote Tan, Foliage Green, Olive Drab, UCP, ABU, and MultiCam.
Made in the USA.
Specter Gear – Spartan Series Tactical Thigh Holster
This Grey Ghost Precision prototype rifle has recently finished a grueling train-up cycle (including SWC), and will soon be heading off to Afghanistan where a specialized unit given a bit of leeway with their weapon selection will be putting it through the ropes, so to speak.
Remember, nothing made by Grey Ghost goes commercial until it’s proven itself on a combat deployment.

October 7, 2014 – SIBAT – the International Defense Cooperation Division of the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) – will present an array of innovative technologies for today’s asymmetrical warfare at the Israel Pavilion at AUSA. These solutions, some of them presented for the first time, were developed in order to reduce injuries to uninvolved populations during fighting within urban centers. The systems were developed in close cooperation with the IDF and were proven to have saved lives in recent conflicts.
According to the Director of SIBAT, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Mishel Ben Baruch, “Today’s asymmetrical warfare is unique in that it is taking place less near uninhabited border areas, and has moved into population centers. For this reason, Israeli companies are developing technologies that prevent, as much as possible, injuries to innocent bystanders. In addition, due to the dynamic nature of the threats, there is a growing need to shorten the sensor-to-shooter loop by rapidly identifying the target – and quickly and precisely initiating countermeasures.”
“In the Israel Pavilion, a wide range of advanced technologies will be presented, including intelligence and surveillance solutions designed to deliver accurate real-time intelligence pictures that enable significantly more precise targeting. Other solutions include unmanned systems and robotics that can replace and protect soldiers in dangerous locations and prevent collateral damage.”
“The Israel Defense Ministry recognizes and appreciates the contribution of Israel’s SME defense companies that consistently develop cutting-edge technologies that are innovative, unique, modular and flexible. These companies are able to respond quickly to customers’ evolving needs and to urgent demands from the field.”
“As in years past, we will promote cooperation between Israeli and American companies at AUSA – an approach which has proven successful in dealing with reduced defense budgets – and remaining competitive in a crowded market.”
This year, the following companies will present their technologies at the Israel Pavilion:
Beth-El Zikhron Yaaqov Industries, Ltd.
Beth-El designs, develops, and manufactures Environmental Protection Systems handling full CBRN and TIC (Toxic Industrial Chemical) filtration, ventilation, air conditioning, dust filtration and carbon monoxide (shooting fumes) filtration for use in vehicles, tents, containers and shelters. Beth-El’s 24/7, lightweight and compact systems – being used by more than 60 armies worldwide and compliant with NATO and MIL-STD standards – offer the highest protection at very low power consumption. They have been tested and certified by International Standards Institutes and laboratories from countries all over the world.
