Comp-Tac Releases CT3 Level III Duty Holster

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021

HOUSTON, TX – November 2, 2021 – Comp-Tac® releases an optics and light compatible, Level III Duty Holster – The CT3™.

The CT3 is designed so the user can deactivate the three levels of retention while maintaining their master grip. The intuitive release mechanism equals economy of motion, faster, more consistent draws and less training time.  The three level of retention are the hood, automatic ejection port lock and friction retention, to prevent unintentional removal of your handgun. The CT3 activation lever releases the hood when pressed, and only releases the ejection port lock when held down during the draw. These features, combined with Comp-Tac’s unique and masterful approach to holster body construction, give the CT3 unparalleled fit, security, and draw speed. A variety of mounting options are available including drop offset, mid-ride belt, SQR (Secure Quick Release), PLM (Push-Button Locking Mount), and an adaptor plate for QLS system.

“The CT3 is the result of two years of design, testing and partnership between Comp-Tac and multiple departments and members of the law enforcement community,” explained Gordon Carrell general manager of Comp-Tac. “For years, Comp-Tac has been a leading supplier of concealed carry and off duty equipment. We wanted to be able to take the skills that we have acquired and the relationships we have built in the industry to offer a solution for the men and women on the front lines of our law enforcement, military and all users wanting multiple levels of retention.”

In addition to the CT3 Holster, Comp-Tac® has also released the CT2™ Series of holsters. The CT2-A™ Holster offers two levels of retention with an ejection port lock that automatically locks when the weapon is holstered along with friction retention. A safety shroud assists in concealing the activation lever to provide an additional layer of safety and security. Designed using super durable Kydex®, the CT2-A Holster has numerous mounting options.

The CT2-H™ Holster uses both a hood and friction providing two levels of retention. The safety shroud assists in concealing the activation level for the user’s safety and the safety of others. Friction retention screws can be adjusted for a secure hold around the trigger guard and muzzle. Aircraft-grade Kydex® is strategically formed to restrict any undesired movement also known as “holster rattle” while the weapon is holstered. The CT2-H is designed with the user in mind for safety, security, and superior all-day-wear comfort.

The CT2-A and CT2-H product video can be seen at CT2-A™/CT2-H™ Product Video.

Now Shipping – Magpul’s PC Backpacker Stock for the Ruger PC Carbine

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

I’ve been waiting for this one. Announced last year, the PC Backpacker for the Ruger PC Carbine is similar to Magpul’s X-22 Backpacker Stock which breaks down easily and stows conveniently into a compact, portable package.

The stock also features two convenient storage locations. The first is a water-resistant compartment in the grip that provides enough room for a small multi-tool, survival equipment, or cleaning equipment. The second is a compartment in the riser section that’s roomy enough for an extra loaded pistol magazine such as a PMAG 21 GL9.

Additionally, it incorporates a ergonomic hand guard with M-LOK slots at the 3 & 9 o’clock positions and interchangeable cheek risers. There’s also an MOE SL rubber butt-pad offering an anti-slip surface.

Offered in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Stealth Grey and and Olive Drab Green.

TacMed Tuesday – The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad is Prepared for Combat Trauma

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

In every mission encountered by the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad (EOD), there’s a possibility something could go wrong resulting in serious, potentially life-threatening injuries. With the help of Spencer Bottomley, a deputy at the department, the team upgraded their medical gear to better respond to these types of emergencies. Spencer was able to provide insight into the best gear for an EOD and ultimately, the team decided to add four new custom TacMed™ R-AID® Kits and place them in multiple vehicles. Now, these easily accessible kits enable team members to provide life-saving treatment until medics can access a safe scene.

The TacMed™ R-AID® Kit is packed full of life saving gear to treat multiple casualties. For the department, the kits were customized from their original packing list to include the specific medical gear needed for their missions, such as the Phantom® Litter to quickly and easily move casualties to a secure location.

After the kits were acquired, Spencer led a training course for the entire EOD team on the kits’ components and how to stage components inside the kits for rapid use during an emergency. In addition to the EOD team improving their tactical medical capabilities, each deputy at the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office is issued a tourniquet after completing first aid training. Typically, a deputy will carry the tourniquet on their duty belt or pocket for easy access during an emergency. “I carry a SOF® Tourniquet in my cargo pocket on duty every shift,” said Spencer. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office continues to demonstrate how deputy and community safety is a top priority with each new initiative. Thanks to Spencer and the rest of the department, the bomb squad is better prepared than ever to handle life-threatening injuries on the job.
