SHOT Show – CeJay Engineering

Thursday, January 21st, 2016

This is the Neptune, a speciality light that includes dimmable constant on and strobe. Additionally, it is divable to 150 feet.

 

They’ve made some simole improvements to the light that really improve functionality.  For instance, they’ve added slits in the mounting points so it can be mounted to PALS webbing.  Additionally, they now offer models with Red, White and IR lights as well as Blue, White and IR for the dive community.  

You’ll also notice a Yellow model, recently introduced for the civilian market.

Zev / Dynamis Alliance Combat Handgun Collaboration

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

Dynamis - Zev

Combining years of real world and industry experience, Dom Raso and the Dynamis team have partnered with ZEV Technologies to create the most compact and functional combat handgun available on the market. Using state-of-the-art design and technology, this pistol is lightweight, adaptable, aggressive and unmatched as a low-visibility package. The size and functionality of this platform allow us to go from concealable to an overt combat platform while keeping our training and weapon manipulation consistent. It is extremely difficult to find a reliable and durable pistol that will allow you to train hard and also be dependable when it counts. We have been able to accomplish both and are extremely proud to bring this to the industry.

When conceptualizing this project, we also wanted to make sure that as we released this new product, we did something to help warriors and their families. Giving back and supporting the communities that support us is embedded in the ethos of both Dynamis and ZEV. As a result, with the initial production run of this gun, we will be donating a portion of the profits to the NSW Family Foundation.

Dynamis Alliance is a growing team of experts whose one mission is to create the highest-quality training and gear for modern-day warriors to CRUSH and prevent modern-day threats.

MANUFACTURED FOR DYNAMIS ALLIANCE BY ZEV TECHNOLOGIES

SHOT Show – Biothane Belt

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

So I’m in the Murdock Webbing booth when I spy a belt made from their Jacquard webbing in Kryptek Mandrake, treated with Biothane. I remarked that I didn’t realize there was Biothane webbing that thin. Then, the guys from Austrialpin added their Vobra buckle to the mix and we had a new concept for a belt.

The belt is not available, but the stuff to make it is.
