SHOT Show – SureFire XC1
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015SHOT Show – SureFire Suppressors
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015
Got to take a look at the new SureFire GLOCK barrels made by ZEV Technologies. These threaded barrels are DLC coated and threaded for use with a suppressor.
This is the new Genesis-762 suppressor. Intended for the hunting market, it’s a screw-on (5/8-24) 7.62mm model. I shot the QD version last Spring during a hog hunt in Texas. Like other SureFire SOCOM suppressors, these offer minimum point of impact shift and are factory tested to <1MOA shift and <1MOA Group. Additionally, they offer 99% elimination of first-round flash.

SHOT Show – Sandpiper of California / Pack Rabbit
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015
Pack Rabbit offers two different sizes of rigid pack frames that pull double duty as chairs. The larger size Pack Mule is used by Marines to carry breaching tools and odd sized loads. Sure, you can sit on it if you want, but the beauty is that it keeps the pack and frame upright when deployed.
Although it can be used as a stand alone frame, Sand Piper of California has developed a pack bag that integrates with the Pack Mule. The Pack Mule has over 20 attachment points to integrate a variety of pack bags or loads. The frame integrates some flexion and you can set the amount of tension in the lumbar in order to maintain contact with the back.
Available in Stealth Black or Desert Sand, it features integrated closed cell foam padding.

SHOT Show – Crye Precision Shows Us What’s In Store For 2015
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015In years past, Crye Precision has used SHOT Show to unveil a whole host of new technologies. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, those products don’t always make it mass market that same year. This has not frustrated not only customers but Crye as well. So this year, there won’t be as many new products on public display.
AVS 1000 Pack
First off, Crye Precision has a pack designed for use with the AVS. It can be used as a stand-alone or attached to a platform via PALS or you can use it as a plate bag.
The padding on the back of the pack can be removed via Velcro.
JPC 2.0
Lighter than the first model, the new JPC 2.0 has stretchier plate bags in order to accommodate a wider range of armor plates.
It incorporates a new release mechanism and has four different front flap options compatible with AVS.
There are also pull handles at the cummerbund.
Hitcoat Shoulders and Yoke
Last year, CP released the Hitcoat.
This year, they’ve introduced the Hitcoat Shoulders and Yoke, a single size armor system (vice the Hitcoat’s 5 sizes) which offers simple to doff protection for the upper arms and shoulders.
SIX12
The SIX12 has received a little bit of a facelift.
The barrel and cylinders are now Titanium and there is a QD mount.
They’ve added a Remington choke to the 22″ barrel Bullpup model.
More info coming in www.six12.com.
As always, Crye Precision continues to innovate and concentrate on the customer. There is lots going on and some of those items you will see later this year.
