SHOT Show 22 – Elite Survival Systems Military Shoulder Holster

Wednesday, January 26th, 2022

Here’s a blast from the past. Elite Survival Systems started out in the 1980s as Assault Systems, a company at the vanguard of tactical nylon.

One of their most popular products was a ballistic nylon version of the old M7 shoulder holster. They still make the Military Shoulder Holster which accepts a wide variety of handguns. It keeps it handy at the chest.

Offered in lady and right versions, in four sizes for a better fit of different pistols up to 8″ revolvers like the one you see here.

Made in the USA in any color as long as it’s Black.

The Dual Concealment Holster allows users with different lifestyles to have various carry methods in just one holster. This 100% aircraft-grade Kydex® holster allows for both inside-the-waistband or outside the waistband (OWB) wear. The DCH is perfect for concealed carry and comes with an Infidel™ Belt Clip and paddle attachment for easy on-off access. This holster fits all the most popular makes and model handguns, including Glock, Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer, Springfield, STI, and Walther.

“Many of our law enforcement customers enjoy carrying both on and off-duty which gave us the idea of designing the Infidel™ Belt Clip onto DCH™ Holster,” said Gordon Carrell, general manager of Comp-Tac. “Our Infidel™ Belt Clip has been a favorite for years because of the cant adjustability.” This clip can be adjusted to a cross draw cant, speed cant, and a FBI forward cant depending on the users preference.

The paddle attachment was molded with wings to grip the bottom of the belt to keep the holster stationary during draw at the 3 o’clock position. Similarly, to the Infidel™ Belt Clip, you can cant the paddle for the customer’s choice.

American Rheinmetall Systems attains significant investment in technology to support U.S. Army modernization efforts

Tuesday, January 25th, 2022

American Rheinmetall Systems, Biddeford, ME, is pleased to announce a multi-million dollar investment in the company’s strategic plan to support U.S. Army combat vehicle modernization priorities with advanced combat vehicle mission systems technologies. The company will be growing its workforce particularly in advanced engineering segments as well as bringing new industrial capability to further develop and ultimately deliver those technologies from their facility.
American Rheinmetall Systems will bring to the market next-generation situational awareness and fire control systems by leveraging existing Rheinmetall turret technologies that are currently in production for several Allied nations. This enables them to deliver advanced, highly competitive combat vehicle mission systems solutions fully from their Maine facility—which positions them to support high priority technology needs of the U.S. Army across the Army’s combat vehicle modernization strategy.

American Rheinmetall Systems will be positioned to support fellow Rheinmetall affiliate American Rheinmetall Vehicles, Sterling Heights, MI, which is currently performing in Phase 2 of the Army’s OMFV program and is expected to compete in future phases. The OMFV program seeks to select a replacement for the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). American Rheinmetall Systems will also engage with other vehicle providers in support of additional priority Army modernization programs.
With this significant investment, American Rheinmetall Systems will add systems and software engineers to its Biddeford team, transfer base turret technology from Germany and the UK, and establish systems integration capabilities within its facility; becoming fully capable of design, production, and support of turret fire control systems for the U.S. market. Additionally, they will specialize in 360° situational awareness technologies, AI-based target detection and recognition, imaging processing, and interoperability with supporting open system architectures that enable the rapid insertion of technology in the modern era of fast-paced innovation.

”This investment in American Rheinmetall Systems’ growing U.S. electronics business is a clear indication of Rheinmetall’s overall commitment to being an exceptional partner in meeting the U.S. Army’s modernization priorities,” said Brad Hittle, American Rheinmetall Systems’ President & CEO. “We will be adding 10 to 15 high-level engineering jobs in Maine, as well as industrializing locally to offer world-class solutions for the Army’s next-generation vehicle technology requirements.”
American Rheinmetall Systems works alongside American Rheinmetall Munitions (Stafford, VA and Camden, AR) and American Rheinmetall Vehicles to deliver next-generation technologies to U.S. customers across the full breadth of Rheinmetall’s global product portfolio. “American Rheinmetall is committed to being a partner to the U.S. Army across many modernization priorities and we are putting our commitment into action,” said Stephen Hedger, Head of U.S. Business and CEO of overall U.S. corporate parent American Rheinmetall Defense (Reston, VA). “This is a historic moment for Army modernization, and American Rheinmetall is meeting the moment with advanced technology, new jobs and expanded industrial capability to ensure U.S. Soldiers have the edge for decades to come.”
