Blackhawk! introduced the GripBreak Leather Holster at SHOT Show 2015. The idea here is that it’s for the folks who won’t / can’t use the Serpa holster. Instead of your trigger finger to release the pistol, you use your thumb.

SHOT Show – Blackhawk! GripBreak Leather Holster
Wednesday, January 28th, 2015SHOT Show – Outdoor Research
Wednesday, January 28th, 2015For some time now, Outdoor Research has been teasing me with news that they were going to bring some of their most popular clothing styles over to the military line with Coyote color. What they unveiled at SHOT Show were several models including this Foray Jacket in Coyote and Black.
Made from GORE-TEX PACLITE, a two layer laminate with a 50D poly shell. In addition to the flapped front zip it incorporates OR’s TorsoFlo hem-to-bicep zippers for venting. There are two handwarmer pockets (the left doubles as stuff sack) and a single Napoleon pocket on the chest.
OR also introduced the Drycomp Summit Sack in Coyote as well. I LOVE this bag and have been Jonesing for one in an earth tone for some time. It is made from a lightweight 70D nylon and incorporates a roll top closure as well as daisy chain and ice axe loop. At either side are mesh pockets and compression straps to help manage the load. Padded mesh shoulder straps make this a great summit pack or for use on recces.

The fixed blade Feint is made from 440C stainless steel with a black santoprene handle. It features a 9.5″ blade with an overall length of 14.5″ and a thickness of 1.25″.
SHOT Show – Rivers West
Wednesday, January 28th, 2015As I walk through the endless aisles of SHOT Show, things will grab out at me. This time it was the Shadow Poncho by Rivers West.
This seam-sealed cape design is available in the uninsulated Shadow Poncho model as well as a Sherpa fleece lined version called the Treestand Shadow. Look for interior handwarmer pockets in both and arm slits on the Shadow Poncho.
Available in Widowmaker Shadow Camo only.

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015Princeton Tec introduced the Helix series of lanterns. Regardless of which of the two sizes, the accordion-style globe sits atop collapsible legs.

All three offer 250 lumens with the basic model utilizing 4 x AA batteries and the Bluetooth being rechargeable and controlled via smart phone.
