Comp-Tac Victory Gear Introduces New Q Line of Holsters at SHOT 2016

Saturday, January 16th, 2016

Houston, TX – Comp-Tac Victory Gear, a leading manufacturer of quality holsters and holster accessories, has introduced a new line of holsters; The Q Line. Modular and easy-to-use, these holsters address shooter’s needs for storage, range use and concealed carry; all while maintaining the high-quality construction and materials expected from Comp-Tac’s products. The models offer both inside the waistband or outside the waistband holsters for concealed carry or competition with multiple clip options. The holsters will be on display at the company’s booth (#15743) during SHOT Show 2016 in Las Vegas, NV.

The Q Line of holsters are designed for individuals both new to handguns, as well as those looking for a versatile solution, providing simplicity and value for their daily carry. Offering a more modular design, each holster allows for a variety of gun models, with no interchangeable shells or clips required. As is the case with all of COMP-TAC’s holsters, each of the models in the Q Line provide Retention Adjustment for a secure fit, and are molded with Kydex bodies (best materials for smooth no-stick draw). The durable yet gentle mounting options are built strong enough withstand wear and tear, all while protecting belts, clothing and car seats.

The Q-H (Hybrid) Holster

  
For the shooter who is looking for the ultimate option in comfort and sturdy easy to draw from holster, Comp-Tac has created the Hybrid option in the Q Line: The QH. Combining experience and innovation into a price point that will allow concealed carry customers both novice and veteran to stay on budget, and still get all the best holster features.

The open-ended shell makes for a perfect fit for firearms of varying lengths, and the funneled design allows for easy draw and re-holster. The Kydex shell permits a smooth, no-stick draw, maintains it shape for easy re-holster and is made from a Kydex designed to withstand a fall test.

The Q-H has leather backing for maximum comfort and easy concealment. A tension adjustment screw allows users to adjust the tension to each different firearm that they carry in the modular shell. The patented Comp-Tac Clips, offer users ride height and cant adjustment to allow them to set the holster up for their own personal comfort requirements.

The Q-I (Inside the Waistband) Holster

  
Designed to meet a growing demand for versatile, inside-the-waistband Kydex holsters, Comp-Tac perfected the notion by taking into account unique user experiences, expertise and the concept that different body shapes and lifestyles create multiple concealed carry needs.

The Q-I is made with an open-ended shell for a perfect fit for forearms of varying lengths, and the funneled design allows for easy draw and re-holster. It offers Comp-Tac’s one of a kind, all Kydex construction and molding for the smoothest fastest draw, and a retention adjustment screw for the perfect hold for multiple firearms in each modular size.

Taking into account the ambidextrous shooters, the holster has a dual sided multi-option mounting block, which also allows for the adjustment of cant at 30° for multiple position wear. The sight-enabled design accommodates up to .5” high night sights, suppressor sights and rear sight mounted optics.

In an effort to maximize comfort and minimize stress points, the Q-I is designed with smooth edges throughout, with a polymer clip that allows for fast and easy wear. Its minimalist size is perfect to quickly put on, easy carry on the body and effortless storage when not in use.

The Q-B (Outside the Waistband Belt) Holster

  
Comp-Tac has perfected the demand for Outside the Waistband holsters. Their involvement in general shooting activities, range use, and competitive shooting sports has given them the knowledge to develop the best in outside the waistband holsters.

The Q-B, is made with an open-ended shell for a perfect fit for firearms of varying lengths, and the funneled design allows for easy draw and re-holster. It offers Comp-Tac’s one of a kind, all Kydex construction and molding for the smoothest fastest draw, and a retention adjustment screw for the perfect hold regardless of which firearm used in the modular size ranges.

Unique to the Q-B are mount holes that are compatible with all industry mounting options for belt, molle or thigh holsters. The QB comes with the popular Push-Button Mount that is designed to be added quickly and easily to the belt while offering the security of a sliding lock to hold securely when needed. The multiple holes allow for 180° cant adjustment. The QB is legal for all competitive shooting sports and provides a quick, easy-to-use concealed carry option.

“Development of the Q Line has been one of the most exciting projects I have had the chance to work on here at Comp-Tac. From initial concept stages, R&D, fit, finish and function almost every Comp-Tac employee had a hand in the design. In addition, we were even able to involve customers in some beta testing which gave us valuable feedback,” explained Comp-Tac’s President and Owner, Gregg Garrett.

“The Q Line provides the modular fit, the flexibility to personalize and the value that we as shooters want and that our customers have been asking for.”

The full Q Line of holsters will be available for purchase on Thursday, January 16th, through Comp-Tac’s website.

Manufacturer to Showcase Trijicon MRO™ Compatible Mount

Temecula, CA – Global Defense Initiatives (GDI), manufacturers of mount interface devices for use with optical, laser aiming, illumination, night vision and thermal imaging systems, will be unveiling their latest line of optic mounts at the 2016 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV; featuring the line of Trijicon MRO™ Compatible Mounts, the MSM-Series.

The new MSM-Series of mounts were designed specifically to work with the Trijicon MRO™, a sealed miniature reflex sight intended for use on rifles, carbines and shotguns to provide fast target acquisition. Named Guns & Ammo’s, Optic of the Year, the MRO’s large aperture and tapered light path maximizes the viewing area, allows for better situational awareness and fast target engagement – especially from non-standard shooting positions. 

GDI worked extensively to ensure the new MSM-Series of mounts, which include: the MS6-OSM™ (Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Sight Mount) and MS5-OSM™ (Absolute Co-Witness Sight Mount) for Gas Impingement Systems; MS3-OSM™ (Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Sight Mount) for HK Type Gas Piston Systems; and the MS1-OSM™ (Low Profile Mounting). Each mount offers a distinct capability to shooters of all capacities.

  
GDI’s ruggedized mounts are designed to improve accuracy and marksmanship in the harshest field use and environmental settings. In serving those who serve, GDI has earned a reputation in the defense community by building optic mounts that exceed military specifications through their precision engineering, manufacturing, and quality craftsmanship standards. As GDI is now offering these combat proven products to all shooting sports enthusiasts, the MSM-Series of mounts can be used and appreciated by shooters in all arenas.

“We at GDI, approach every new product as a personal mission, to develop a solution to shooters that would not only improve the functionality and reliability of the optical sight mount, but optimize its capability to increase accuracy,” stated GDI Founder and CEO, Marco Gonzalez. “The development of the MSM-Series was a no-brainer, as Trijicon has not only positioned itself as a company with integrity and reliable products, but a shared work ethic and drive to produce something even the most elite of warriors trust.”

Today, the focus of GDI is to provide the shooting industry as a whole with mounting solutions that not only meet the respective needs of the military and law enforcement operational communities, but to include shooting sports enthusiasts within the recreational, hunting, and competition areas.

Aardvark Launched Project 7 Armor

Saturday, January 16th, 2016

La Verne, CA – AARDVARK is excited to announce the launch of PROJECT 7 Armor. Designed in collaboration with The Safariland Group and utilizing cutting edge technologies from several industry leaders including Blue Force Gear, Honeywell, and Dupont, PROJECT 7 is the first full coverage tactical armor system that doesn’t compromise safety for comfort. Designed to be lighter, flexible, comfortable, and more athletic, PROJECT 7 achieves what other tactical vests have failed to do – provide both mobility and coverage.

  
PROJECT 7 hosts an array of unique features including an external flexible yoke designed for full range of motion, a prone position compatible collar, Safariland’s patent pending angular webless MOLLE, and structured upper arm protection sized to each user. 

AARDVARK’s CEO Jon Becker stated “For PROJECT 7, we started with a blank piece of paper. We looked at every design aspect of the vest and asked ourselves, ‘How can we make this better?’ Then, we took that design and made it out of only the absolute best technologies available across the industry. We’re ecstatic to finally have PROJECT 7 reach the tactical market. ”     

Todd Mackler, VP of Armor for the Safariland Group echoed Becker’s sentiment saying, “We are very excited for PROJECT 7 to finally be launching. We considered an unprecedented amount of client feedback in the development of this armor system, and I believe PROJECT 7 will not only meet the needs of our clients, but will also help the tactical community to be dramatically safer.”

In addition to PROJECT 7 Armor, the revolutionary P7ARMOR.COM was launched this morning. The first interactive website in the industry, the site was designed to allow users to have an in-depth understanding of all of the innovative key components of PROJECT 7. Not only are visitors able to view vests in 360°, but perhaps more importantly, users have the ability to configure their own vest to their exact specifications including color options, ballistic packages, rifle plates, accessories, and even custom ID patches, and then download or share the spec sheet for their specific configuration.

SOG Announces New Line of Packs

Saturday, January 16th, 2016

Lynnwood, WA. – SOG® Specialty Knives and Tools has announced the release of their new line of SOG Packs. A family of six bags ranging in size from a daily sling pack to a full-sized duffel, the SOG Packs break the mold on conventional tactical bags; bringing a line that serve every user ready for outdoor adventures or daily carry.

Not only do the new SOG packs offer typical functions like hydration sleeves, MOLLE attachment points, and durable fabrics, but also premium features such as Hypalon MOLLE fields, Quad-Zip full access compartments, integrated long item carriers, and suspension systems. Contemporary use of tactical packs calls for the need of added comfort, versatility, and durability – SOG packs deliver on all these benefits and more, all while maintaining a sleek unassuming look. 

The versatility of the packs offers something for everyone. For longer expeditions, the adaptable Seraphim 35L or Prophet 33L can house all your gear without sacrificing mobility and comfort. For outings shorter than that, the Scout 24L can handle anything for an overnight or day trip while the Ranger 12L makes a great companion for quick escapes.

Modern urban warriors will find that the TOC 20L or EVAC 18L sling can easily organize their daily carry. Whether heading out for a multi-day excursion or a quick morning errand, there is a SOG pack for your needs.

SERAPHIM 35L

  
The SOG Seraphim is designed to be the pack that does it all by carrying everything in its 35L main compartment. Equipped with shock cord tie downs, any additional equipment can be cinched to the outside of the bag, attached to the Hypalon MOLLE field, or strapped inside the fold-down panel. In addition, the unique integrated long item carry caters to the adventurer who’s travels require an axe, fishing rod, bow, or rifle. The combination of these external features, along with the pack’s internal organizing components, make it one of the best and versatile 35L packs on the market.

PROPHET 33L

  
For a pack, the SOG Prophet is one that is adaptable to any purpose. This 33L pack goes from backpack to duffle bag in a snap by stowing the quick-release shoulder straps and hip belt out of the way. Each side of the pack houses lash points for long item carry, compression flaps for keeping the weight of the pack closer to the carrier, and Hypalon MOLLE fields for more external attachment points for extra gear. Accessing the inside main compartment via the Quad-Zip means the once arduous process of finding gear from the bottom of the pack, now doesn’t require unpacking everything on top of it. This pack’s ease of use and functionality make it one of the most versatile packs available.

SCOUT 24L

  
The SOG Scout brings way more to the table than any other 24L pack in the game. The panel loading main compartment comes fully equipped with multiple interior pockets, a padded laptop sleeve, hydration carry and MOLLE loop field. Accessing the main compartment through the Quad-Zip allows for you to find your gear from the bottom of the pack without unpacking everything on top of it. Any extra gear can be cinched to the pack’s side compression straps, attached to the Hypalon MOLLE field, or held on by the Scout’s unique wire long item carry. The top molded panel allows quick access to smaller items, such as sunglasses or phones. Due to the suspension, a fully loaded pack can be carried comfortably whether going for two or twenty miles.

TOC 20L

  
The SOG TOC is the ultimate 20L daypack for the urban warrior or forest adventurer. Its light overall weight makes it easy to carry; and the quick- adjust shoulder straps, padded hip belt and rigid suspension keep it comfortable all day long. As the “Tactical Operating Center,” this pack houses plenty of options for storage and organization: the main compartment has multiple interior zippered pockets and small sleeves, the molded top contains a small organizing system for quick access items, two side access pockets live on the front of the pack, and a pass-through side access laptop compartment keeps your notebook safe. Whether you are hopping on the subway or jumping over creeks, the TOC makes a great companion for the modern user all day.

RANGER 12L

  
The SOG Ranger is no stranger to a trip scouting new trails or a day hike in the local mountains. It’s fast and light, and the quick-adjust shoulder straps, hip belt, and sheet suspension keep it comfortable all day. This pack houses plenty of options for storage and organization: the main compartment has an interior zippered pocket and a padded tablet sleeve, the molded top contains a small organizing system for quick access items, the front organizer pocket with more interior sleeves, and an hydration carry to keep you hydrated. Any extra gear can be cinched to the pack’s side compression straps or attached to the Hypalon MOLLE field. For quick excursions, this 12L pack carries everything you need.

EVAC SLING 18L

  
For short distance carry, mobility, and quick on-the-run access to all your gear, the SOG EVAC 18L sling pack is the go-to pack. Side pockets allows for easy entry to your laptop, with the main and secondary compartment providing access to all your gear without taking the pack off. Inside the main compartment lives an organization panel for smaller items that may otherwise get lost in the bottom of the pack. The molded top pocket and front organizer pockets gives you even more storage flexibility. This pack’s design allows for rapid deployment and maneuverability of your gear without slowing you down.

Available March 1st through www.sogknives.com, the full line of packs can first be seen at the SOG booth (#425) during SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 19-22.
