You Never Know Where They’ll Show Up
Wednesday, November 30th, 2016Kickstarter – Final Day For Amabilis Dave Jr Duffle 2.0
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016Billed as the world’s toughest EDC bag, the Dave Jr Duffle 2.0 is in its final day on Kickstarter. Created by Amabilis, it’s a well constructed bag, but it’s also named after a friend who passed away severl years ago, Dave Ruiz. Dave and his business partner Brain Abrams founded 782 Gear, so the Dave Jr’s design may look familiar. Brian went on to create Amabilis after Dave passed away and he has taken their work to the next level.
They are really close to 700 backers pledging $100k for more than 700 bags! That’s pretty impressive.

SIG SAUER® Congratulates Tidewater Tactical on FBI Solicitation Win for Red Dot Sight
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016
Newington, N.H. (October 29, 2016) – SIG SAUER, Inc., would like to congratulate Tidewater Tactical on successfully procuring the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) solicitation for red dot sights to be used on agency-issued patrol rifles. The contract was awarded via competitive bidding process. Tidewater Tactical will begin shipping the ROMEO4M™ to the FBI in government fiscal year 2017.
“This is a great win for Tidewater Tactical, and SIG SAUER is proud to have the ROMEO4M as a part of their win,” said Ron Cohen, President and CEO. “At SIG SAUER, we make our products to the highest standard because lives depend on it.”
The SIG SAUER ROMEO4M utilizes a proprietary ultra-efficient LED illumination system for superior daylight and nighttime visibility with extended run times. The compact red dot sight features multiple illumination settings and is programmed for 50,000 hours of normal use. This extended run time is made possible through the proprietary SIG SAUER Motion Activated Illumination System (MOTAC™). This unique system activates through motion-sensing technology, powering up illumination when the unit senses motion and powering down when the red-dot is not in use to extend battery life.
The extremely strong yet lightweight aircraft-grade CNC aluminum housing ensures a lifetime of reliable service. The ROMEO4M is rated IPX-8 waterproof (33 ft. for 30 minutes) and can be easily adjusted for both windage and elevation ranges. Additional features available on the ROMEO4M include a dual reticle option, allowing users to toggle between a 2 MOA red dot and a circle dot (2 MOA Circle-Dot/65 MOA). The ROMEO4M comes standard with a military-grade notch filter coating for reliable visibility in diverse environments.

We want to echo SIG’s congratulations to Tidewater Tactical for this win and the selection of the SIG ROMEO4M as the FBI’s new carbine optic. In addition to Bureau issue, the ROMEO4M is authorized for Agent purchase and use.

Bawidamann Design – Glock AIWB Holster
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016
If you are looking for an IWB holster for a GLOCK with a SureFire X300/U, your search is over. Bawidamann Design has introduced a new IWB holster that not only fits most 9/.40 GLOCK models but will even accept a Roland Special build.
Designed to fit GLOCK 19/17/22/23/34 with surefire X300 and X300U weapon lights, it offers adjustable depth. It’s a one piece design with the seam on top of the slide so the bottom of the holster that touches your inner leg is rounded and smooth. As an artist, Bawidamnn inists on aesthetics as much as function so it also looks good.
These are hand made in Ohio from .09 Boltoron by Andrew Bawidamann himself, and incorporate the Raven Concealment Systems Claw and IWB hooks/soft loops in 1.5″ or 1.75″. Available for Right and Left handed shooters.

Revision and Kokam Formalize Strategic Partnership For Continued Lithium-Ion Innovation
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016Ottawa, Canada (November 28, 2016) – Revision Military, a recognized innovator in power management and electronics solutions and platforms, has formalized a strategic partnership with leading South Korean lithium-ion cell manufacturing company, Kokam. Under this agreement, Revision and Kokam will build on their near-decade-long working relationship. Revision and Kokam will continue to collaborate on technologically progressive air and ground power platforms, and will incorporate cutting-edge chemistry technology into advanced energy solutions for military use.
Above: Revision’s Nerv Centr™ SWatPack™ Silent Watch Vehicle Battery enclosure—shown here in a Light Assault Vehicle configuration—is designed to be platform-specific.
Over the last decade, Revision has incorporated Kokam’s large form-factor lithium-ion cell technology in the design and development of high-end military power platforms. This has resulted in energy solutions that feature greater power performance, high energy density, high gravimetric and volumetric power density, longer cycle and calendar life, low impedance and heat generation, lightweight, low self-discharge rates, and extremely efficient heat dissipation. Revision has taken this excellent foundation and developed industry-accelerating power management solutions specifically engineered for use in rugged, remote, and extreme conditions. Together, Kokam and Revision have made significant progress in using lithium-ion technology to deliver operational effectiveness on the battlefield, and are solving power management issues that have plagued operators since electrical energy became a battlefield necessity.
Above: Revision’s Nerv Centr™ SWatPack™ Silent Watch Vehicle Battery (shown open) is modular, scalable, and features interoperable SWatPack units for reliable, redundant power backup.
“With two strong, innovative power management collaborators like Revision and Kokam working together, new and intelligent power solutions for operational survivability can be accomplished,” said Jonathan Blanshay, CEO, Revision. “In formalizing this strategic relationship, we can address our customers and their operational needs for an ever-more connected and electric battlefield. Kokam has a sterling reputation for providing battery solutions for a wide variety of military applications to leading international defense contractors and Ministries of Defense; this partnership reinforces Revision’s focus on the military power market, and reinforces the approach we have taken so far that has resulted in significant contracts. We’re excited to cultivate this partnership further, and to seize this opportunity to fuel continued growth, specifically for vehicular platform power innovation, as demand surges globally for reliable, lightweight, high-endurance electrical power solutions to meet battlefield needs. Together with Kokam, we will deliver warfighter power solutions with a lean logistical footprint and real operational benefit, thereby relegating back-breaking loads of batteries and inefficient vehicle systems to the past.”
Above: Individual Revision Nerv Centr™ SWatPack™ power units can be scaled up for any application.
Revision and Kokam will build on the past successes the two companies have had together. Kokam’s patented Z-folding manufacturing technique and advanced Lithium Polymer and thin film laminations will continue to feature in Revision’s operationally focused Nerv Centr™ energy solution programs for the foreseeable future. In formalizing this partnership, Revision and Kokam are mutually poised to expand market reach on a global scale in the constantly-evolving military power management industry.
