High Threat Concealment has designed two belt systems to be used in conjunction with their HTC Low Profile System that allow the user to quickly put on their system, while still securely holding the gear in place along the waistline. The belts incorporate a two-piece belt concept where the inner belt goes through the pants loops to act as a traditional belt, and the outer belt feeds through the Low Profile System. The outer belt then attaches to the inner belt via high quality Velcro brand hook and loop. The HTC Tactical Cobra Belt incorporates the quick-release functionality of AustriAlpin’s Cobra buckle, and provides a comfortable and secure platform for your HTC Low Profile System. The HTC Low Pro Belt blends the performance of a quality leather gun belt with the comfort of nylon webbing, and helps reduce the appearance of carrying tactical equipment by appearing to look like a normal leather belt. It features a removable buckle to allow the user to thread the belt through his or her pant loops like a regular belt.
HTC has expanded their line of belts, and now offers to additional belts to choose from, the Cobra Tactical Rigger’s (CTR) Belt and the Everyday Tactical (EDT) Belt. The CTR Belt is HTC’s take on the popular rigger’s belt, and it incorporates the new Cobra D-Ring buckle from AustriAlpin. The belt is made of 1.75” Type 13 Mil-Spec Nylon webbing reinforced with a layer of stiff dive webbing around the back from hip to hip. The EDT Belt consists of a sturdy double layer of 1.5” or 1.75” dive webbing from the points of the hip around the back, and then tapers down to a single layer of material where it crosses itself. This results in a consistent double layer of material around the entire belt, instead of a thicker 4-layer area where the belts overlap. It also incorporates the smaller version of the AustriAlpin Cobra buckle, allowing for quick, secure attachment and easy removal.
Come check out the all of the belt options from HTC, as well as their other new releases, at their pistol bay, SR-22, at the Shot Show Industry Day at the Range. You’ll also have a chance to check out and try pistols from Salient Arms International in HTC gear. HTC will also be at BOOTH # 8103 for SHOT Show with their friends from Renegade Armor. You’ll also be able to catch a glimpse of some other products from our friends from Tactical Walls, Tennessee Arms Company, and Velocity Systems.

We’ve mentioned a couple of times already in this series that S&S Precision has been hard at work over the Summer developing new items and improving their existing products. One example of this is the incorporation of the Trifecta Connecta and GRT – Webbing Adapter into their popular Grenade Launcher Holster. Designed to retain the standalone HK GLM/M230 GL, the Holster can be mounted directly to Webbing / PALS using the included Trifecta Connecta and GRT – Webbing Adapter. They’ve also updated the padding to mitigate noise and kept the Dynamic Bungee retention system. Available in Left or Right handed versions.
Here’s a look at how it all works:
Remember Erathr3?
“I’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not Fight Club. It may seem like we’ve trying to keep things a secret but we’re not. EraThr3 [pronounced Era Three] is a lifestyle with a company wrapped around it. It’s not a company with a lifestyle.”

Well, they’ve launched a pretty extensive website chock full of cool wares like weapons, t-shirts, hats, knives. You know, the stuff an SSD reader would be interested in.
So far, I’m not sure if I’m going to pick up the target pack or the aluminum yo-yo. I highly suggest you go check it out.
I recently had a rare opportunity to participate alongside members of ADS Inc’s Sales Team in new equipment training of products from Leupold Optics and Knight’s Armament Corp at Special Operations Veteran Jim Smith’s Spartan Tactical just west of Fort Worth, Texas. It was unseasonably cold and wet that week but we made the best of it, combining classroom, pistol, carbine and SR-25 range sessions as well as a little practical application during a night shoot in search of wild hogs.
Jim has a great facility at Spartan Tactical with a variety of ranges with targets in excess of 1000m.
Classroom instruction was focused on optics, shooting theory and product info. Because the group had a variety of experience levels, hands on instruction started out with carbine basics with optics and ramped up to the point where the participants where engaging targets at 900m once we switched to the SR-25s.
Everything we did focused on the practical application of various Leupold optics, even during the day two handgun session. The event gave me a much better appreciation of Leupold’s lineup and I know that the ADS folks I accompanied gained a lot of confidence in their use and picked up some new understanding of customer requirements. They also got to take terminology and theory and apply them first hand to successfully engaging targets.
ADS Inc has been working with vendors for years to offer updates to enhance existing systems, new components and turnkey solutions to enhance the lethality of their customers. In fact, the new Weapons & Optics catalog is available for order where you can check them out.
Leupold is going to release some VERY cool new products at SHOT Show (can’t show them just yet). The ADS team is well acquainted with these items and can help agencies and units with placing orders. We’ve already shown you a couple of other new products from Knight’s (Anti-Cant Device, Improved 45 Degree 200-600m Offset Rear Sight and Bipod) and those are available through ADS Inc as well.
AmericanSnipers.org has long been known for their innovative challenge coin designs which are used to raise funds for their cause. This year, they’ve turned it up to 11.
The design on the left is the 2015 coin and the two on the right are beads based on their two most popular designs. They’ll go on sale initially at this month’s SHOT Show and thereafter be offered on AmericanSnipers.org.
