SHOT Show 23 – Crye Precision
Tuesday, January 17th, 2023The items showcased in the Crye Precision booth are “coming soon” which means we should see then during this calendar year.
ATO High Loft Parka & Pants
The ATO ALPINE TERRAIN OPERATIONS High Loft Parka is a static insulation layer for cold weather environments. The Climashield Apex insulation is thermally mapped with three different weights that deliver optimized warmth while minimizing overheating. The unique reversible design provides both alpine and woodland concealment as needed. It is constructed with a durable nylon outer fabric that is wind resistant and packable. The ATO High Loft Parka features an expandable front zipper that allows the flexibility to layer up or down and even provides coverage for fully loaded plate carriers and vests. Hand pockets are lined in fleece for warmth and interior mesh pockets accommodate cold weather gear like goggles.
ATO HD Overwhites
The ATO Overwhites provide alpine concealment in a robust combat feature design. Built from a durable ripstop nylon shell, it utilizes water resistant reinforcement in areas of high wear like the shoulders, seat, and lower arms. You’ll see some M1951 Fishtail Parka DNA in there. Shoulder and cargo pockets stow essential cold weather items and pit zipper pass-throughs.
G4 Aviation Uniform
Developed in conjunction with a SOF aviation element, the G4 Aviation Uniform is offered in both male and female fit. It utilizes the same fabric as G4, the FR Commando Twill. There are also both Field and Combat models.
You’ll find some aviation unique features like dual entry shoulder pockets, center front zipper and loop placement to accommodate ID. The pants also have double seats, oversized patch pocket on calf, vertical zippered entry on thigh pockets, and a multi-tool pocket.
Offered in MultiCam m, Black, and Ranger Green.
LVS Female Fit
Crye’s proprietary 3 dimensional forming technology allows them to shape the vest to directly match the contours of the human body. Now they’ve applied it to the female form. Because it is molded, the armor will not crumple and fold up in the bottom of the carrier. Infact, the LVS Base Vest requires no external carrier at all.
FB/40mm Pouch
The FB/40MM POUCH is designed to accommodate flashbang and 40mm grenades. It is constructed from laser-cut AIRLITE and features a welded attachment strap with a unique tab geometry. Heavy-duty elastic provides a secure fit while the flap is tucked into the pouch. The dual security closure allows for extra security of your flashbang. Available in single, double and triple pouch.
SMOC
Coming this year! Purpose built for multi-day recce missions, the SMOC (Special Missions Operations Coat) is designed to provide combat-specific weather protection and allow storage of critical gear. Constructed from a durable water repellent ripstop nylon shell and fully lined to provide warmth and wind protection, while the mesh venting at the chest pockets and underarm help to avoid overheating during movement. Designed with thumb loop cuffs, an elastic crotch strap and a shock cord cinchable waist to ensure proper fit and security.

Now Shipping: Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig and Low-Pro GP Pouch
Tuesday, January 17th, 2023
POOLER, GA—Blue Force Gear announced today at SHOT Show in Las Vegas that its much-anticipated split-front chest rig will start shipping immediately.
The Ten-Speed® SF Chest Rig from Blue Force Gear was developed with recce operations in mind, where the need to lay prone for extended periods can be complicated by gear mounted to the front of body armor. Designed to be worn over armor or by itself, the SF Chest Rig zips top-to-bottom and can be spread open to move any chest-rig-mounted kit to the sides for a more comfortable prone position.
The front of the chest rig features four stackable mag pouches and comes in M4 and SR25 versions. The military-grade elastic allows metal or polymer mags to fit securely and lay flat when not in use, and the pouches are overlayed with ULTRAcomp® high-performance coated fabric for extra strength. Each of the SF Chest Rig’s four Ten-Speed mag pouches has single-column, 6-row MOLLEminus™ fields and two additional columns of 5-row MOLLEminus fields on each side. This makes it easy to add the BFG Low Pro GP Pouch (designed specifically for this chest rig) or other MOLLE-compatible pouches and accessories.
The SF Chest Rig has padded shoulder straps with integrated management for comms cables and hydration tubes. MOLLEminus fields make it possible to attach additional accessories, and side-release buckles make it easy to completely detach the front of the chest rig for integration with some third-party plate carriers and hydration harnesses.
The Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig is available now in limited quantities at BlueForceGear.com.
Low Pro GP Pouch
The Low Pro GP Pouch was designed to fit the new Ten-Speed SF Chest Rig. This general-purpose pouch features a slight outward taper from top to bottom, making it easier to access its contents when mounted on the chest. The pouch has two-way zippered pockets, and the larger pocket contains Ten-Speed elastic to help organize the pouch’s contents. When empty, the pouches have a low, flat profile.
The Low Pro GP Pouch is available now at BlueForceGear.com.
Q30 Innovations Adds Vice Admiral Szymanski and Lieutenant General Mulholland to Military Board of Advisors
Tuesday, January 17th, 2023WESTPORT, CT (January 16, 2023) – Q30 Innovations is pleased to announce the additions of Vice Admiral Tim Szymanski and Lieutenant General John Mulholland to its Board of Military Advisors. The company continues to see increased adoption of the Q-Collar throughout the military as more warfighters experience the benefits of the product designed and proven to reduce brain injury caused by repetitive subconcussive impacts.
By adding these two new members to its Board of Military Advisors, Q30 hopes to drive increased awareness for a broad range of military and law enforcement applications and continue to advance additional research around the product’s effectiveness in military-specific scenarios, including reducing brain injury caused by blast waves.
“As we continue to see adoption of the Q-Collar by military servicemen and women, Vice Admiral Szymanski and Lieutenant General Mulholland will provide valuable experience and firsthand military knowledge to our mission to help protect men and women who are at risk of traumatic brain injuries,” said Q30’s Co-CEO Tom Hoey. “We are proud and extremely honored to be supported by these decorated veterans who share our concern for the health and well-being of those who serve.”
Vice Admiral Tim Szymanski (Ret)
Vice Adm. Szymanski has served in a number of Navy and Joint Special Operations assignments as a Navy Special Warfare Officer (SEAL) for over 36 years. He most recently served as the Deputy Commander for United States Special Operations Command after previously serving as the Commander of Naval Special Warfare. In both roles he oversaw the manning, equipping and training, and employment of NSW and joint special operations forces.
In addition to his dedicated time in the service, he also led initiatives to improve human performance and protect brain health across special operations. Szymanski developed programs to enhance cognitive performance and established policies to monitor and protect brain health improving the welfare and operational readiness of all special operations forces and their families.
“Q30 has an innovative product that, in my opinion, from all of the clinical research, can potentially reduce the long term effects of impact and blast exposure. The potential to significantly improve the welfare of our service members pushed me to join the Q30 team,” said Szymanski.
Lieutenant General John Mulholland (Ret)
After joining the 1st Special Forces Regiment in 1983, LTG Mulholland (Ret) commanded from the captain through lieutenant general level in Army and joint special operations forces: including serving as Deputy Commanding General, Joint Special Operations Command, as the Commanding General, United States Army Special Operations Command, and as the 15th Deputy Commander, United States Special Operations Command. His professional background and involvement throughout his military career have driven him to make and influence changes to better prepare the force for future conflict, and to better protect the force today and for tomorrow.
“As I was already involved in assisting other lines of effort regarding the brain health of active-duty military members and veterans, and have two sons and a daughter actively serving in the Army, joining the Q30 team just made sense,” said Mulholland.
He will dedicate his time to educate the senior leaders within our Special Operations and large military communities about the ways Q30 is reducing the consequences of the kinetic, concussive impacts to the brain that’s frequently incurred by our men and women in uniform.

SOTech Launching New Products at SHOT Show
Monday, January 16th, 2023SOTech is proud to announce several new products added to their medical and tactical lines at SHOT this year. In booth 20059 they will be displaying the new Delta Omega Pouch, Cobra Harness, OrgBoard Line, full Cobra Pack Line, Micro Pack Line, laser cut Slim Line Harness, M320 holster and ammo load carriage system, and their commercial line of popular products in unique colors and camo patterns.
The Delta Omega – Medical / Ordnance Pouch comes from requirements posed by Special Forces Medics and from the Army Infantry Center (MCOE). The need for a pouch that will hold the plastic ribbed magazines for the NGWS-R (M-7) prompted us to cut the bottom of the pouch at a 45 degree angle with plastic lining to cause the front magazine to push upward creating a better purchase. The triangular shape at the base inspired the “delta” in the name. The requirement from the 18Ds to hold multiple sizes of medical inserts, micro-org board trays, and a compression IFAK inspired the development of an elastic draw cord cinch girth pouch. The pouch has a unique (patent pending) cord arrangement where it can form an elastic speed draw loop over the top, or the cords can be split and tabs tucked into the side allowing the laser cut flap to extend and be used for more protection. The result is a pouch that can carry radios, IFAKs, med inserts, grenades, smoke grenades, rifle magazines of multiple sizes (CSASS, M-4, M-7, etc) and Tasers- thus the Omega of pouches.
Another innovation on display is SOTech’s Cobra Harness which both forms the shoulder straps of the Cobra Pack and can be dismounted and worn as a padded 6-point load bearing harness -one of the most comfortable we’ve ever worn. The unique feature is the drop-down suspension release buckle. Any operator who has been on the long march knows the need to loosen the suspenders to lower the load off the hips for a few miles. And then the need to cinch the suspenders back up to take the stress off the shoulders. Our buckle arrangement allows the wearer to pop the buckles and extend the suspension straps by 5 inches, and then by re-buckling they can pull the load up back onto the hips.
SOTech is perfectly located just inside the first door on the right coming from the Venetian Casino in Booth 20059.

Sunday, January 15th, 2023During today’s SIG SAUER Range Day, the Defense Firepower, it was announced that the Army is changing the nomenclature of the XM5 NFSW Carbine from the XM5 to the XM7.
