Sneak Peek – Blackhawk T-Series L2C Overt

Friday, September 25th, 2020

Coming soon from Blackhawk is the T-series L2C Overt. Based on the L2C (Level 2 Compact) OWB holster, it’s a T-series holster which uses Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle. As you grip the pistol in your draw stroke, your thumb depresses the holster release mechanism.

It’s also inherently optic friendly, thanks to the speed cut at the front of the holster. However, as you can see, there’s no shroud to protect the optic.

The L2C Overt is a great option if you don’t need level 3 retention and are looking for a low profile holster for training or daily use.

Naturally, just like there is a light bearing (TLR-7 and 8) version of the L2C, there will be a light bearing version of the overt.

Although the L2C Overt hasn’t been released yet, you can roll your own. You’ll just need to pick up the T-Series Jacket Slot Belt Loop and T-Series Jacket Slot Leg Strap Adapter. It’s a simple install.

Comp-Tac Releases Holster Fits for Glock .40 Gen 5s

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020

HOUSTON, Sept. 21, 2020 – Comp-Tac® added new Glock® .40 Gen 5 fits for the Infidel Max™, Infidel Ultra Max™, Warrior™, International™ and Blue Duty Holster Series™ approximately two weeks prior to the launch of these new firearms.

In addition to the fits already available, Comp-Tac plans to eventually expand every holster offering to accommodate the wider bodies of the .40 Gen 5s.

New holster fits include:
• G27- International, Infidel Ultra Max, Infidel Max, eV2
• G23- International, Infidel Ultra Max, Infidel Max
• G22- International, Warrior, Blue Duty – No Light

“Being able to work with firearms manufacturers during the release of new weapons is a real honor for Comp-Tac,” said Gordon Carrell, Comp-Tac general manager. “The new Glock Gen 5 .40 caliber guns have a slightly wider frame than the previous generations and Comp-Tac has been able to design holsters to fit these new guns in a short period of time. Because of that, these new holsters will be ready for purchase before these new Glocks are even available, allowing customers to carry those firearms right away.”

The International Holster is an OWB, all-Kydex® holster with a modular mounting system that includes a belt mount, paddle mount and drop offset piece. The International has been the top holster used at the IDPA nationals for eight years in a row and is an excellent choice for those who want to participate in competitive shooting events or head to the range for some training time.

The Infidel Ultra Max Holster is an IWB, Kydex-and-leather hybrid holster designed for concealed carry. The Infidel Ultra Max is designed with cant adjustment holes to allow the user to change from a reverse cant, straight drop speed cant and FBI forward cant. The Infidel Ultra Max’s top-grain, cowhide leather backing is the most comfortable material to wear against your skin. It provides a soft, flexible material that does not rub or pinch.

The Infidel Max Holster is an all-Kydex inside-the-waistband holster designed to be worn behind the hip at the 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock positions. With an easy-on, easy-off single clip, this holster is a favorite for users who want the ability to put on their gun or take it off as their environment changes.

The eV2 Holster is an appendix IWB holster designed for concealed carry. The eV2 includes the Comp-Tac Kick, a piece designed to help press the grip of the gun into the body for better concealment.

The Warrior Holster is an outside-the-waistband holster that was recently tested and recommended by the National Training Officers Association (NTOA). The all-Kydex, pancake design is excellent for concealed carry or general range use.

The Blue Duty Holster Series no light version is a level two outside the waistband holster. The Blue Duty Optic no light will accommodate a firearm with a red-dot optic attached. With a belt mount, paddle mount and drop offset, this holster provides a high level of diversity and compatibility with level two retention.

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020

During the Modern Day Marine virtual expo, SIG gave us a sneak peek at their new M18 X-CONVERSION Kit.

The 9mm M17/18 Modular Handgun System manufactured by SIG SAUER is the most versatile pistol the US military has ever fielded. SIG got it right when the Army said they wanted a modular pistol.

The kit, which can be used at the unit level, includes a black SIG SAUER X-SERIES grip module with extended beavertail, deep trigger undercut, enhanced magwell that’s grip weight compatible, and a fastback style grip. The kit also includes an X-SERIES flat trigger and two (2) 15-round magazines.

Both the Marines and Air Force are fielding the more compact M18 variant of MHS along with SOCOM, to replace their M9 sidearms.

WL Gore & Assoc – Gore Signature Management

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020

It’s great to see WL Gore showing their Signature Management technology again. They initially brought it out a few years ago but were probably leaning too far in the foxhole. DoD was focused on other issues at the time. But with increased focus on China and Russia, the threats become much more sophisticated.

Gore offers true multispectral signature management. I’ve seen earlier versions in action. Based on the way they have presented their data at the ongoing virtual Modern Day Marine expo, they are updating the technology to focus on new threats which include vis, nIR and SWIR mitigation.

As far as most service members are concerned, WL Gore is synonymous with wet weather protection. That’s where they’ll really shine. With limited numbers of Gore multispectral concealment systems fielded over the years, they’ve proven they are are capable of integrating multispectral camouflage into durable wet weather breathable outwear and FR uniforms,
