BE Meyers & Co Announces MAWL-X1, New DoD MAWL Variant

Monday, September 16th, 2019

September 16, 2019 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is proud to announce the addition of MAWL®-X1, a United States Department of Defense specific variant of the company’s highly successful MAWL® (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser) line of high-powered aiming and illumination laser systems for individual and crew-served weapons.

In 2017 B.E. Meyers & Co. submitted a Flat Dark Earth, Near-Infrared / Visible MAWL® featuring the EC2 threaded Endcap to the Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) via the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, known as the MAWL®-X1. Following submission, PdM-SPTD procured it for Limited User Evaluations, which were conducted by various Combat Arms including units within the 82nd Airborne Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade, and the 2nd Infantry Division, among others. Approximately 766 MAWL®-X1 units have been fielded since 2018.

True Modularity

The MAWL®-X1 is a truly modular design comprised of three separate Head, Body, and End-Cap components, which allows it to be sustainable at a supply chain level. As an ambidextrous system, it can easily be configured for either right or left-handed shooters.

The “Alt Mount” Body allows for increased versatility across multiple weapon platforms, including the M4/M16, M27, M249, M240G, and precision rifles.

Superior Ergonomics

As with all MAWL® variants, the MAWL®-X1 is designed for intuitive operation: in the dark, under stress, and with gloves on. Featuring a simple switch mechanism with finely balanced power and divergence presets, the MAWL®-X1 allows for target transitions from close to long range in under a second.

Unparalleled Range and Clarity

B.E. Meyers and Co.’s optimized VCSEL technology delivers vastly increased performance, beam quality, beam clarity, and efficiency to the end-user. The MAWL®-X1 features balanced and stacked beams to increase situational awareness and overcome photonic barriers created by external light sources.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – The SeaBees

Sunday, September 15th, 2019

On September 1, 1942, the first Seabee unit to serve in a combat area, the Sixth Naval Construction Battalion (SeaBees), arrives on Guadalcanal.

I am not going to tell the story as there is a movie (with John Wayne one of the seven he dies in) and I posting a link at the bottom of an excellent article about them. What I am going to say is SeaBees are some of the hardest working people you will ever find. I would rather have 1 SeaBee that 5 other people. They have made almost all the camps I have been in since the first gulf war in 91 thru Iraq in the 2000s and they never stop working on them to making them better. They build they fight; (they can’t read or write) (that was a joke) you tell them you need something, and they will find it or make it. Indeed some of the unsung heroes of the military.

Comp-Tac Releases New Hybrid Appendix Holster: eV2 Max

Friday, September 13th, 2019

HOUSTON, Sept. 12, 2019 – Comp-Tac®, manufacturer of concealed carry, competition holsters and accessories, recently released a new appendix inside-the-waistband, hybrid holster.

The eV2™ Max combines the highest quality materials and design features to provide a holster that is comfortable to carry and easy to hide. The two-layer leather backing provides a comfortable barrier between the firearm and the body during IWB wear. The aircraft-grade Kydex® shell provides superior fit for a smooth, fast draw and maintains its shape for easier and safer reholstering. The largest part of the eV2™ Max’s success is in the Comp-Tac® Kick, a polymer piece added to help situate the firearm in a way to hide the grip by pushing it toward the body for a sleek and slim profile.

“Comp-Tac® has always been known for their commitment to creating functional, comfortable and high-quality concealed carry holsters and equipment,” said Randi Rogers, director of brand management and 70 time world and national shooting champion. “The eV2™ Max is the next iteration in a long line of holsters purpose built and rigorously tested. Appendix carry continues to grow in popularity with all the new compact and subcompact firearms available on the market. We strive to provide the gear that our customers want and need, and the eV2 Max™ is another step in doing just that.”

The eV2™ Max
• Kydex® shell enables easy reholster
• Features two-ply leather backing for superior comfort
• Interchangeable Kydex® shells allow for carry of multiple guns with one holster
• Ride-height-adjustable clip maximizes master grip
• Comp-Tac® Kick keeps pistol grip tucked against body
• Retention screws allow for perfect holster retention adjustment
• Available in both right and left hand
• MSRP: $67.00

The Para model is hinged to stow out of the way, it is made of aluminum, so it won’t break off. Attached to Picatinny rails.

The Stubby Para Grip is 4.0″ L x 1.5″ W and weighs 6.56 oz.

HSGI Announces Giveaway Winner in “Battle of the Belts”

Thursday, September 12th, 2019

SWANSBORO, N.C., Sept. 9, 2019 – High Speed Gear®, maker of Battle-Proven Tactical Gear™, concluded its monthlong “Battle of the Belts” giveaway with its customers and dealers Sept. 6.

Participants voted on their favorite HSGI® and Comp-Tac® belts and features, resulting in more than 3,800 entrants, with one winner announced each week. Each winner received an Operator Belt, which was the winning belt all four weeks, with later weeks rewarding additional HSGI® and Comp-Tac® products.

“We were very excited by the turnout on our survey contest,” said Allison Mitchum, HSGI® director of sales and marketing. “We’ve received a lot of great input and insight, all of which can be used in continuing to make great gear our customers value and trust.”

Additionally, participants voted High Speed Gear’s® made in America status as their most important aspect/feature, followed by the gear’s function and usefulness, with the overbuilt design and durability ranking third.

The most popular belts in the survey were as follows, listed most popular first:

Operator Belt with Micro Grip and Velcro® Inner Belt

The Operator COBRA® IDR 1.75” Rigger Belt is a low-profile shooter’s belt designed to work with both MOLLE and belt-mounted gear. This two-belt system is overbuilt, like all HSGI® gear, to outlast the competition.

Slim-Grip Padded Belt® – Slotted

This modular, padded-belt system is one of the slimmest and sturdiest on the market. A neoprene interior adds a level of grip unlike any other belt system on the market. Individual PALS platforms allow the inner belt to be woven inside or outside the belt making this a versatile easily quipped solution for all the gear you need.

COBRA® Rigger Belt – 1.75” D-Ring and 1.5” Variants

The belt is constructed to the same standards as our COBRA® 1.75” belt, but is designed for those who need a belt for daily wear around the office or out in the field. This belt’s excellent stiffness and rigidity will not allow the weight of holsters and mag pouches to “roll” the belt. This version of our battle-proven, tactical belt utilizes the COBRA® buckle on 1.5” webbing.

Duty-Grip™ Padded Belt

The Duty-Grip™ is designed with the patrol officer in mind and was fielded by numerous law enforcement officers and departments during the development process. Our proprietary neoprene padding creates a gel-like comfort while offering excellent grip and performance. The Duty-Grip™ features a complete series of vertical laser-cut slots that allow a rigger or duty belt to weave securely to expose any or nearly all of the belt for attaching belt-mounted pouches and holsters.
