Tactical Distributors Announces Woodland Week

Monday, December 8th, 2025

Woodland Week Starts Now

The wait is over. Woodland Week has officially kicked off and we are dropping exclusive gear in the pattern that built an era. M81 is back in full force and this week is stacked with limited runs, TD only collabs, and the kind of small batch drops that disappear before lunch. If you know Woodland, you know the energy. If you are new here, this is the camo that raised a generation of shooters, gear junkies, and range day lifers.

Every drop this week is hand picked, built for hard use, and released in tight quantities. Once it is gone, it is gone. We are starting strong with two heavy hitters and rolling out more throughout the week. Grab the gear, claim the camo, and get ready to refresh often. Woodland Week is live.

TD x illPRO x Ridge Wallet in M81 Woodland

The first Woodland Week release is a pocket sized powerhouse. Grade 2 titanium. Powder coated. Wrapped in illPRO’s signature Woodland finish. This is the Ridge Wallet you already trust, rebuilt the Tactical Distributors way and dropped in an exclusive M81 edition you will not find anywhere else.

It carries 1 to 12 cards without stretching, blocks unwanted scans with RFID tech, and locks your cash down with the integrated strap. Replaceable screws and elastic keep it running for life. Simple. Strong. Woodland ready. This is the only wallet you want on deck for the week ahead.

Stroup Knives Bravo 5 Tanto: TD Exclusive Woodland Edition

Next up for Woodland Week. A fixed blade built for real work. The Bravo 5 Tanto is full tang 1095 high carbon steel and ready for piercing, slicing, chopping, and whatever you throw its way. Field missions. Backcountry trips. Daily carry. It thrives where weak blades fail.

This TD Exclusive hits even harder with a Woodland wrapped sheath you can only get here and a custom Stroup Knives x TD Woodland printed box. Whether you collect or put miles on your gear, this one earns its spot fast.

KEY FEATURES

• Full tang 1095 steel

• Tanto point strength

• TD exclusive Woodland sheath

• Custom Woodland printed box

• Vertical or horizontal Kydex carry

• Built with Stroup Knives and Justin Melnick

Swiss Army Selects SIG P320 as New Sidearm

Monday, December 8th, 2025

Replacing their SIG P220 Pistol in service for 50 years, the Swiss Army has selected the SIG P320.

According to the Federal Armaments Office Armasuisse candidate firearms from Glock (G45 Gen 5), Heckler & Koch (SFP9) and SIG SAUER’s P320 were subjected to “intensive and comprehensive technical testing, a troop trial and the examination of logistical aspects.”

The Army plans to purchase 140,000 pistols and the initial order of 50,000 has been placed.

Below is a translated statement from SIG SAUER Switzerland:

SIG SAUER Delighted to Win Pistol Procurement Contract

Neuhausen am Rheinfall, December 4, 2025

SIG SAUER AG is extremely pleased with armasuisse’s decision to select the P320 pistol as the new service pistol of the Swiss Army. This contract is a strong commitment to Swiss industry and an important milestone for our site in Neuhausen am Rheinfall.

With SIG SAUER’s network of several hundred suppliers in all regions of the country, all relevant components of the new pistol can be manufactured and serviced entirely in Switzerland.

This strong Swiss presence and correspondingly high, sustainable added value guarantees quality, security of supply, and rapid production availability.

Pasquale Caputi, CEO of SIG SAUER AG, commented: “We are proud and grateful for the trust that armasuisse has placed in us. The decision strengthens Switzerland as an industrial location and motivates our entire team in Neuhausen am Rheinfall.” We will work with the utmost precision and full commitment to reliably meet the army’s requirements and deliver a highly reliable, safe product to the troops.

The new Swiss pistol combines modern technology, high durability, and precise handling – and stands for Swissness, quality, and a long industrial tradition at the Rhine Falls.

The technical and ergonomic adjustments required following troop trials will be fully implemented.

The entire team in Neuhausen is looking forward to implementing this important project and to the expanded collaboration with armasuisse and the Swiss Army.

Qore Performance Launches ICEPLATE Gen 3: Cooling & Heating Thermoregulation + Hard-Cell Hydration Bladder

Friday, December 5th, 2025

Knoxville, TN — Qore Performance, Inc. announces the launch of ICEPLATE® Gen 3, the next-generation Medium ESAPI-shaped hard-cell hydration bladder that delivers 70 watts of cooling, 52 watts of heating, and 52.4 fl oz (1.55 L) of drinkable water in a single, plate carrier compatible system.

Now 20% lighter than its predecessor at 10.5 oz empty with 5% greater capacity and dramatically improved multi-curve ergonomics, ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is purpose-built for year-round use by performance-minded military, law enforcement, prepared citizens, first responders, and industrial professionals.

For full conductive thermoregulation and hydration benefits, ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is worn internally of ballistic plates via Qore Performance’s IMS Pro Gen 3 for armed professional applications, or standalone within HiVis thermoregulation vests for industrial safety use.

Powerful Performance:

70 watts conductive cooling when frozen; 52 watts heating when filled with hot water.

Delivers 2–4 hours of intensive cooling or 3–5 hours of heating, preventing heat stroke and hypothermia while augmenting human physiology for peak performance.

As ice melts from body heat, it creates ice-cold drinking water, with the system becoming progressively lighter as this water is consumed.

Features:

Seamless integration with plate carriers, chest rigs, backpacks, and HiVis safety vests.

Dual 28-410 fill ports accept ICECAP® Gen 3, Valve Cap, Closed Cap, or standard Coca-Cola/Dasani threads.

Drinkable variants include SOURCE™ 90 tube, Helix™ bite valve, and ICECAP Gen 3 quick-disconnect for rapid “Hydration As A Magazine” swaps.

ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is 100% Made in the USA by U.S. citizens from US-sourced FDA-certified, BPA-free HDPE in Iowa.

Since 2016, Qore Performance has been Building A Superhuman Future®—and ICEPLATE® is where that future began. With over 6.5 million operational hours and zero heat injuries, ICEPLATE® redefines what’s possible for professionals across business, safety, and defense. ICEPLATE® Gen 3 turns temperature into a weapon—creating decisive advantages for performance and survival where none existed before.

“ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is the most refined and capable cooling, heating, hydration system we’ve ever developed,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager of Qore Performance, Inc. “It inoculates users against extreme heat and cold while delivering mission-critical hydration, while scaling effortlessly from individual use to full enterprise and organization deployment.”
