Magpul – Tactile Lock-Plates, So You Can See Your Magazines With Your Fingers

Thursday, October 12th, 2017


Under the tagline of “Lights Out, No Problem” Magpul releases their Tactile Lock-Plates. Basically, with Lock-Plates, you can discern which magazine is which by feeling the baseplate of the magazine.

Designed to fit PMAGs, Lock-Playes are offered in Type 1, which offers one bump and Type 2, incorprating two bumps. Combine this with a standard, smooth floor plate and you have three different tactile means to determine what magazines are loaded with, allowing you to keep your eyes in the fight.

New DHS Sidearm SIG SAUER’s P320C Currently In FAT

Thursday, October 12th, 2017

Although the Department of Homeland Security selected the compact variant of the SIG P320 early this year, it was kept quiet.

Initially, there was the matter of a Government Accounting Office protest to wait on. That cleared up fairly quickly, but still the Department has kept mum on the subject despite an announcement via InSight, their internal news system. This screenshot originated on pistol-forum.com.

Currently, the P320C is in First Article Testing, a process which ensures production models will meet the same government requirements as the prototypes did during the solicitation.

This is the pistol they selected, as seen at AUSA.

Of the commercial P320 line, the DHS pistol is closest to the closest to the X Carry. Additionally, each fielded firearm comes with eight magazines, a cleaning kit, parts to support use out to 10K rounds, HD sights, training, manuals and cable lock, as per the contract.

AUSA 17 – WL Gore Adds Excalibur To Advanced Combat Fabrics Offerings

Tuesday, October 10th, 2017

Two years ago, WL Gore launched Katana, the first fabric in their Advanced Combat Fabric line. This latest version is called Excalibur. While Katana was dialed in for hot weather use, Excalibur is more a broad utility fabric. Think cold to hot weather. This is thanks to its 18% ePTFE fiber content combined with NYCO. It also offers high durability due to the construction which features twisted ePTFE adding strength by increasing tear and snag resistance. Also, it dries faster thanks to lower water weight gain. All of this combines to a higher strength fabric for a given weight.

(Pictured is Katana to the left and Excalibur to the right)

To put this in perspective, current NYCO fabric used in ACUs is 6.5 oz. Katana, which is primarily for hot weather is 5.3 oz and Excalibur is 6 oz per square yard. What’s more, NYCO’s air permeability (how well it breathes) is 8 cfm, while Katana is 70 Cam and Excalibur is 40 cfm. Katana allows you to radiate heat very rapidly promoting evaporites cooling. Excalibur on the other hand hits the sweet spot for cooling while keeping cold wind from blowing right through your clothing.

Excalibur is currently undergoing evaluation by all of the services.
