US Army Cancels Sub Compact Weapon Sole Source Awards

Saturday, July 7th, 2018

In May, the US Army issued a sources sought notice for a 9mm Sub Compact Weapon to be used by Personal Security Detachments. In June, the Army issued sole source purchase notices for numerous examples of various commercial examples of the weapon.

Earlier this week, the Army cancelled the opportunity.

This Synopsis of Contract Award is amended on 02 July 2018 to notify industry that due to changes in the Government’s requirement, this opportunity is hereby cancelled effective immediately.

The Government is in the process of establishing new requirements for the Sub Compact Weapon Program and will announce the changes on fbo.gov within the next two weeks. Vendors interested in being notified for this new opportunity are encouraged to sign up under the “Interested Vendors List” tab of this announcement.

At one point during development of this requirement, the Army is said to have considered adoption of 300 BLK weapons to fulfill the need, but decided against it as the round is not readily available within DoD or with NATO allies. However, as USSOCOM’s Personal Defense Weapon, a 300 BLK upper receiver kit fit the M4, requirement takes shape, the Army may once again look at M4 compatibility, rather than a completely new weapon.

Drunk Panda Clothing – M203 Blank Firing Adapter Shirt

Saturday, July 7th, 2018

This shirt is the M203 BLANK FIRING ATTACHMENT/ADAPTER shirt from Drunk Panda Clothing. Founder Jason a Mann, sends this note, “When I was a newly pinned PFC and had new privates in the unit right before we went to the field we had to draw weapons well PVT XX had a 203 attached so during packing I asked him where his BFA for his 203 was and I got the dumbest look and mentioned he could not go to the field without one. I had this PVT running all over and to the arms room looking for this adapter that didn’t exist and hilarity ensued from the arms room down to the platoon.”

Friday, July 6th, 2018

C1 Compensator available for pre-order on the Hudson E-store.

All pre-orders receive a 9% discount.

Compensators have been proven over decades of testing and use to provide quicker follow up shots accomplished by redirecting the gasses escaping the muzzle which decreases the amount of force returning straight back to the shooter. The bottom line is they work.
