POF USA – Two-Stage Trigger

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

Based on overwhelming demand, POF-USA has delivered to the market a brand new two-stage trigger to match the style and weight of its original single stage trigger.

Many in the competition shooting realms have hailed the two stage trigger as their preferred style.

Two stage triggers have a brief amount of slack that can be taken up before hitting a defined “wall”, at which point the shot can be withheld until the perfect moment.

With a 2 lb first stage, and the 2.5 lb second stage, this trigger has a 4.5-pound total pull weight.

Website Back In Service – MVT Special Operations Rig (SOR) Available in Ranger Green & Coyote Brown

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

The Special Operations Rig (SOR) was designed in collaboration with SOF personnel, specifically to fill the need for a chest rig / PC panel that is optimized for operational use, while able to comfortably carry the AN/PRC 152 radio to the front / side of the body. This has resulted in four kydex magazine pouches (5.56) flanked by two collapsible side pouches that enhance the rig by allowing the carriage of two radios (one each side), or 2 x 5.56 magazines in each radio pouch, or use the pouches for admin items or leave them collapsed. In addition, the front of the radio pouches have four rows of MOLLE, for the attachment of admin pouches as needed.

These specific design features and capabilities have resulted in a chest rig that is extremely versatile to varying load requirements, and will suit non-military as well as military personnel, whether or not you carry a radio on your gear. It can be used entirely as a standalone chest rig, attached to a plate carrier, or as a hybrid allowing optional attachment to a plate carrier, depending on the tactical situation.

Wear the SOR with the supplied H-harness, over a Plate Carrier or standalone.

Utilize the supplied PC Kit to attach the SOR directly to your Plate Carrier.

Multiple use options, as an assault panel over a PC, or standalone in ‘recce mode.’

The SOR is designed to allow the radio pouches to adjust comfortably across your chest, or if worn over a PC, the radio/mags fit into the space beside your front plate.

Available colors:
MultiCam
Ranger Green
Coyote Brown

Wild Things FR Knuckle Roaster Back In Stock

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

I don’t know about it where you live, but it got cold really quick here in Virginia. It made me start thinking about winter which usually isn’t the case for another two months. I started pulling out coats and other cold weather gear and considering what’s available for others who are going to start asking questions about what’s available. I just found out that Wild Things has the FR Knuckle Roaster Back In stock.

Like the hand warmers used by quarterbacks, the point of the Knuckle Roaster is to keep the fingers nimble in spite of severe weather. It allows you to wear lighter weight gloves in cold weather, to maintain dexterity, by giving you a warm place to put your hands.

It features a nylon, DWR treated outer fabric that provides excellent durability, wind and water resistance. The interior is lined with fleece for warmth and includes a sewn in pocket for disposable hand warmers. The reinforced web belt adjusts to various waist sizes with an easy-to-use buckle. It also includes an exterior zippered storage pocket. Last, but not least, it’s FR.

Wild Things has generously offered a 15% discount for SSD readers by using code “SSD556“. To order, visit www.wildthingsgear.com.

Widget Wednesday:  Operating Unmanned Air and Ground Vehicles in Austere Environments

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

Air and ground based drones continue to become more and more prevalent in military and law enforcement operations, often as ISR and EOD assets, and occasionally in a more offensive posture (as when the Dallas PD took out a cop-killer in 2016 with surprise package).

However, remote or undeveloped areas present significant challenges to keeping UAV and UGV assets fully operational because of a lack of wall sockets and dependable electric power grids for charging their batteries. Our portable power management solutions enable operators to draw power from any available source; such as a vehicle battery or DC outlet, a solar blanket, a field generator, or other batteries. UAV & UGV operators can use our systems to charge the batteries of platforms, control stations, and supporting comm’s equipment.

Thanks to our bi-directional, plug-and-play technology, UAV & UGV batteries can also be used as a power source for other electronic equipment – helping to simplify a team or unit’s energy logistics and battery burden.

Our power management solutions currently support the following UAV and UGV systems:
• Aeryon Labs R60 SkyRanger®  (R70 SkyRaider® in development)
• AeroVironment RQ-11B Raven (RQ-20 Puma in development)
• Endeavor Robotics FirstLook®, PackBot®, and SUGV
• Any system that runs on a standard battery or battery pack

For further information about UAV and UGV field charging solutions, visit www.PTXnomad.com or contact us through Team.Room@Protonex.com.
