Blackhawk Launches Latest “No Fail” Video Featuring Tony Sentmanat

Monday, June 28th, 2021

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – June 28, 2021 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has released episode three of its “No Fail” video series, featuring firearms instructor and Blackhawk brand ambassador Tony Sentmanat.

A strong advocate for self-defense and gun ownership, Sentmanat details the rigorous tests he puts every piece of his gear through, as well as why he trusts Blackhawk equipment in situations where lives are on the line. Sentmanat goes on to discuss his military and law enforcement background, as well as the experiences that shaped his “failure is not an option” philosophy.

“Gear is your lifeline – you have to have the proper gear,” Sentmanat said. “It doesn’t have to be the most expensive gear, but it has to be durable gear and gear that you trust.”

A Marine Corps veteran and former SWAT operator, Sentmanat has translated his extensive mixed martial arts, combat and firearms training into teaching others how to defend themselves and others. Now he has become a public figure and travels the world teaching fitness seminars as well as tactical training to civilians, military personnel and police departments. Sentmanat also shares his experiences and philosophy online and on social media, in addition to working with companies like Blackhawk to continuously improve their products.

“For me, I’m huge on progression and innovation,” Sentmanat said. “You have to appreciate the fact that when you have a company like Blackhawk that’s been around for so long, and yet they’re still trying to change the market…trying to make whatever they had that’s good and make it great. Then when something is great, they make it perfect.”

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Hydro’s X BCD

Sunday, June 27th, 2021

The Hydro’s X is the first front-adjustable BCD to offer a fully injection molded Monprene® thermoplastic shoulders and back pad. This unique feature allows the shoulders to conform to your body like a tailored fit. Its flat-buckled quick-release integrated weight system and rear trim weight pockets work together to offer a more comfortable and balanced ride when diving. Add the full-sized backpack and stainless-steel Super Cinch tank band, and you also get excellent stability both on the surface and at depth. Two rear trim pouches help create a comfortable swimming position. The Hydro’s X has matched the patented injection-molded gel harness of the Hydro’s Pro but with a more traditional style wrap-around air cell with zippered cargo pockets on each side.

Again, like the SCUBAPRO Hydro’s Pro, this is a modular design, and several of its components are detachable and can be individually replaced, adding to the jacket’s longevity. The Monprene design makes it a lot easier to clean mud or any other contaminates off; it is also highly resistant to UV, chemicals, and abrasion, plus it doesn’t absorb water to help minimize drying time, making it ideal for Public Safety divers.

The weight pockets are molded to the outside of the pockets, making adding or removing weights a lot easier. The two big, zippered cargo pockets offer great gear-carrying capacity and are easily accessible even when the weight pouches are fully loaded. You can also add different accessories to the weight pockets, including your knife, lights, or our ninja pocket that rolls up out of the way when not in use.

Rotating quick-release shoulder buckles allow you to route your shoulder straps to optimize fit in any thickness of a wetsuit or drysuit. The bladder, made out of EndurTex high-tenacity nylon fabric, is extremely lightweight and durable while offering generous lift capacity, aided by lower back bellows. In the event of damage, several components on the Hydros X are detachable and easily replaceable. Two stainless steel D-rings provide clip-on points for additional gear. In addition, the Hydros X features a Multi-Mount Accessory Matrix with multiple D-Ring and mounting points that easily attach various dive accessories.

Rheinmetall Spectac – an Innovative Stun Grenade for Military and Law Enforcement Special Operators

Friday, June 25th, 2021

Rheinmetall proudly presents Spectac, its innovative new non-lethal effector. This rectangular stun grenade is specially designed for use by military and law enforcement special operators. The most striking feature of the easy-to-use Spectac is its smartphone-like design, with the locking ring and rocker arm ignitor built into a rectangular housing the size of a mobile phone.

Its novel design offers a number of advantages. Weighing approximately 350 grams, 110 mm long, 63 mm wide and 20 mm thick, this highly ergonomic one-bang stun grenade slips easily into the tactical kit of the special operator, making it very convenient to carry. In addition, its compact design means that it can be discretely taken along on undercover and bodyguard operations. Moreover, its rectangular shape offers other tactical benefits. Unlike traditional round grenades, the Spectac does not roll away in an uncontrolled way after landing, but instead comes quickly to a halt which makes it ideal for the use on stairways. Its maximum movement radius comes to just 35 cm at most. As a result, the desired effect reliably takes place in the intended target zone.

Waterproof at depths of up to 20 metres, the Spectac produces a blinding flash and deafening bang. It is currently available in versions with acoustic pressure levels of 170 and 180 decibels and two delay times, 0.5 and 1.5 seconds. In order to make it even safer to handle, Rheinmetall engineers opted for a tried-and-tested bottom top venting (BTV) design. This way, in the event of an inadvertent detonation, the explosive effect blows out of the top and the bottom of the grenade, reliably protecting the user’s throwing hand. The Spectac does not produce dangerous fragments. Each Spectac grenade is X-rayed prior to shipment, thus assuring maximum functional reliability and safety. The X-ray images are stored for ten years. Neither the percussion cap nor the ignition delay mechanism contain lead compounds. In addition, the grenades are compliant with REACH, the European Chemicals Directive.

Successfully qualified at the end of 2020, the Spectac is available effective immediately. This innovative product confirms Rheinmetall’s role as a leading supplier of pyrotechnic effectors for law enforcement and military applications.

FirstSpear Friday Focus: FS Proudly Supports the Tim Tebow Foundation’s Operator for a Day

Friday, June 25th, 2021

FirstSpear is proud to support the Tim Tebow Foundation in their “Operator For a Day” event that was hosted on June 19, 2021, in Perryville, Florida.

The Tim Tebow Foundation is committed to advancing the fight for the precious lives of those who have been trafficked or who are at risk of becoming victims to human trafficking. Directly and in partnership with other organizations in the US and abroad, the Foundation is actively fighting against human trafficking in three ways. First, they are proactive. They focus on the implementation of programs designed to preserve and strengthen families to reduce the risk of vulnerability. Secondly, they are reactive. The Foundation works in conjunction with rescue capable teams on the front lines where direct rescue of those who are enslaved occurs. Thirdly, they are committed to supporting survivors’ in recovery by providing them with the comprehensive care resources needed for healing to overcome the vicious trauma and abuse of human trafficking. 

In 2010, FirstSpear emerged from a bloodline of industry innovation. FirstSpear employs a methodology that integrates evolutionary design with advanced material components. An ambitious mandate demands branding that harnesses the company’s ethos, and “FirstSpear” is the translated namesake of the Primus Pilus, the Senior Centurion of a Roman Legion. FirstSpear dedicates our efforts to present-day Centurions, those willing to sacrifice to preserve our heritage and secure our future.
