By Combat Flip Flops
{Issaquah, WA} With the mission to “Manufacture Peace Through Trade” Combat Flip Flops released the newest line of products to the offering–Shoes. What began in 2012 as a small line of flip flops grew into a product offering of American made bags, Afghan made shemaghs, and Laos made UXO jewelry–made in conflict or post conflict zones. The Unarmed Forces footwear line offers a full four season offering while satisfying those that “don’t do flip flops.”
Although you can move at a higher rate-of-speed and are more equipped to defend yourself in shoes–the tagline remains, “Bad for Running, Worse for Fighting.” Each pair sold funds a day of school for an Afghan girl through Aid Afghanistan for Education.
Manufactured in an artisan factory in Bogota, Colombia, the Unarmed Forces footwear line ranges from the $44.99 slip-on IN·TER·VAL to the $119.00 full leather TAN·GENT. Available men’s sizes 7 to 15 and women’s sizes 5 to 11. The UAF line is offered in a variety of upper and outsole colors–suiting the daily needs of the Unarmed Forces. Casual, business casual, or just straight business.
The UAF footwear is available for pre-order now and delivers Mid-November. All pre-orders wil receive a limited edition shemagh not available for purchase as a standalone product.

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.

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.

Bottom line, more lumens, same run time.
We showed you this helmet yesterday in conjunction with the release of the Ballistic Ears and Visor. It’s completely new and called the EXFIL Ballistic SL. It weighs 2.22 (size 1) or 2.31 (size 2) complete with shell, rails, retention and impact liner.
It also introduces the SL Rail which is 25% lighter than the standard EXFIL Rail and will accept the Ballistic Visor.
One way to tell the SL from previous versions of the EXFIL Ballistic Helmet is by the Wilcox SL Shroud (at the top of the dual image). It offers a 35% weight reduction over the the previous W Shroud. Manufactured from an aluminum insert and glass filled Polymer body, it is compatible with retractable lanyard systems.
It’s certified to NIJ IIIA. The 9mm backface signature is <25.4mm @ 1195 ft/sec. Frag performance is 17 gr v50 >/= 2400 ft/sec.
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.
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.
