Comp-Tac Extends Basket Weave Kydex to Warrior with Light Holster and Twin Warrior Mag Pouch

Wednesday, June 17th, 2020

HOUSTON, June 18, 2020 – Comp-Tac®, manufacturer of concealed-carry, competition holsters and accessories, recently added its basket weave (black) color option to the Warrior™ with Light Holster and the Twin Warrior™ Mag Pouch products.

The basket weave Kydex® used by Comp-Tac is unique because the basket weave pattern is imprinted into the Kydex it is not a film or a graphic. Since the patten is into the Kydex, it will not rub off or wear over time.

“The basket-weave-finished Kydex has been growing in popularity as more customers learn of its existence,” said Bill Babboni, High Speed Gear® vice president of sales and operations. “Traditionally a basket weave patterns were only available in leather. Now both police departments and individuals can get the look of basket wave with the improved fit and durability of the Kydex material…it is the best of both worlds.”

The Warrior with Light is an outside-the-waistband holster designed for a handgun with light attached. This holster can be worn for range use, concealed carry or general carry. The Warrior with Light’s all-Kydex body includes a retention screw to allow the user to fit the holster as tightly or loosely to the gun as they choose. The Warrior with Light attaches to the belt with two High Speed Gear belt width-adjustable, polymer belt loops.

The Twin Warrior Mag Pouch is an OWB pouch designed to carry two additional magazines. With a similar “pancake” design to the Warrior Holster and Warrior with Light Holster, this pouch has a very thin design, making it perfect for concealed carry or undercover wear.

MATBOCK Monday – Medical Backdraft

Monday, June 15th, 2020

Good morning and Happy MATBOCK Monday,

Developed in coordination with some of the leading medics and combat first responders, the MATBOCK Backdraft is for small teams with relatively quick access to higher levels of care. The unit mounts on the back of the plate carrier via MATBOCK Ghost Tabs and is split into 2 separate removable pouches that are held in place via Velcro. The unit was designed to split medical equipment between bleeding and airway and is run in this setup by different units.

The bottom of each pouch is attached to an adjustable lanyard that connects to the side panel of the plate carrier. When the operator requires the contents of one of the pouches, he or she simply pulls the lanyard, releasing that pouch.

Don’t forget to tune in on Monday at 4:30 PM EST as Jim and Casey conduct a live demonstration of the Medical Backdraft and answer all of your questions.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Heart Rate Monitor/ Body Temperature

Sunday, June 14th, 2020

Why monitor your heart rate when you are diving? Measuring your heart rate using a heart rate monitor (HRM) is an excellent way to gauge the effectiveness of your workload because as you strengthen your body through exercise, you also strengthen your heart. Today just about every watch has an HRM to analyze and evaluate everything you do. Whether you are in the military, public service, or a working diver, you should be at a certain level of fitness so you can do your job.

So why not use this technology in diving as well? With the help of a heart rate monitor, you can keep an eye on the heart rate underwater and make your dives safer. By monitoring your heart rate, you can assess your workload. Furthermore, by measuring your heart rate, you can specifically train to increase your endurance in advance, and also you can use it to measure your output so you know how fast you are swimming and help track the distance you are covering. With the SCUBAPRO HRM, you can monitor your body temperature also. It is also great for diving in the winter, during long-duration dives, or even open ocean swims in the winter.

Increased exertion, while diving in deep water, improves circulation, which, in turn, increases the nitrogen uptake. The heart rate can also be used to calculate decompression times even more accurately and make diving even safer. That’s why the SCUBAPRO computers don’t just show depth, no-stop times, and the decompression schedule but also continuously inform the underwater athlete about his or her heart rate, i.e., his or her stress, which in turn is factored in when calculating other dive parameters. Exclusive to SCUBAPRO dive computers, the heart rate monitor, jointly developed with Polar (the world leader in the field of heart rate monitors), measures your heartbeat and body temperature during the dive that can then be factored into the decompression calculation along with your workload. This can results in safer diving because each diver is unique, and each dive location and situation are different. The HRM is also ideal for freedivers, measuring heart rate, and sounding an alarm if the heart rate drops below the set level.

Factoring your heart rate into your decompression calculations makes diving safer and a lot more fun. A lightweight waterproof ECG (electrocardiogram) transmitter is built into an elastic belt that straps around the chest, directly against the skin. This belt wirelessly transmits your heart rate data to your SCUBAPRO personal dive computer. Data is displayed on the screen, plus it is factored into your decompression calculations to create a more personalized dive plan and improve the quality of your diving.

Engineered by divers for divers, the SCUBAPRO Aladdin 2 (A2) watch performs advanced functions in the timeless style above and below the surface. Galileo 2 is everything you need for an extraordinary underwater experience.

The unique integrated Heart Rate Monitor senses your effort, incorporates it into the workload calculation, and adapts the decompression algorithm. The result is safer diving, because the diver’s physiology reports it, and because each dive location and situation is different. The HRM is also ideal for Apnea divers, measuring heart rate, and sounding an alarm if the heart rate drops below the set level.

SCUBAPRO’s line of “smart” personal dive computers, including the Galileo 2 (G2), Galileo Sol, Galileo Luna, M2, Mantis 1, the Mantis, the Meridian, and the new A2 Dive computer are all designed with Human Factor DivingTM. All enable you to better track your time underwater and improve your diving by continually calculating and adjusting to new data based on your personal biometrics.

SCUBAPRO and Human Factor Diving bring the world of biometrics and wearable technology to diving. SCUBAPRO’s personal dive computers are indispensable tools for divers of all skill levels, providing personalized data not available on any other dive computer.

Seattle Police Deter Illegal Laser Use By Employing BE Meyers & Co GLARE HELIOS Device

Friday, June 12th, 2020

An interesting photo (there’s a video as well) showed up recently on Reddit causing us to do a little digging.

Around the country, we are seeing demonstrations against police brutality turn violent and even deadly. One tactic used by rioters is to laze law enforcement officers and even their horses with commercial off the shelf laser pointers which may injure the eye or cause blindness for the recipient of the laser energy.

Seattle PD has used the MAWL device as an aiming laser for several years and knew that nearby BE Meyers & Co had developed an eye-safe laser dazzler.

According to BE Meyers & Co, after confrontation with threat lasers, SPD reached out to to borrow a GLARE HELIOS (Class 1M, as opposed to the Class 2M GLARE RECOIL, both of which are FDA approved). Both systems are non-kinetic, less than lethal options for deterrence. Additionally, they are the only two systems in the US approved for use as hail and warning devices by LE.

For those of you unfamiliar with the system, it features their patented SmartRange™ laser range finding technology, and near-field detection to immediately identify range-to-target, and automatically outputs a visible green laser at maximum eye-safe power. Its powerful green beam provides visual escalation of force/hail and warning capabilities from 3 meters to beyond 16 kilometers, safely alerting targets and assisting end-users in determining intent.

Quite simply, the GLARE HELIOS worked. Not only did it distract the laser attackers from focusing their beams on the line officers and instead focus on the SPD Officer using he system, it diverted the attention of the crowd. Every individual that was targeted with the GLARE HELIOS either left the area immediately after being engaged, became ineffective, or was detained by detectives on their way out after being identified.

Organizations seeking this non-kinetic, less than lethal device should visit bemeyers.com.

Along with the GLARE HELIOS, BE Meyers & Co sent laser eye protection by Revision Military (specifically StingerHawk eyewear with GF-8 LazrBloc® lens).

A quick discussion with Revision verified what we suspected, Police from all over have been contacting them for LEP.

Laser threats vary and consequently so do the lenses Revision offers, each tuned to different bands.

Revision offers laser lenses in all their eyewear form factors and the development of custom solutions, but Sawfly and StingerHawk spectacle lenses are in stock.

Contact www.revisionmilitary.com for more details on the laser eye protection systems.
