BLUE FORCE GEAR ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster

Monday, January 16th, 2017

The Blue Force Gear Pocket Holster is the company’s first foray into the everyday carry (EDC) market. The manufacturer of battle-tested weapon slings and battle equipment has used its revolutionary field gear development experience to create the ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster.

Designed with Blue Force Gear’s proprietary high-performance laminate called ULTRAcomp, the new EDC pocket holster exceeds military standard materials in tear and abrasion resistance while remaining versatile and ultra lightweight for the carrier. ULTRAcomp removes extra bulk while solidly securing and concealing a pocket pistol, creating the thinnest pocket holster available today.

By reducing the weight and bulk over a standard pocket holster, the ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster provides additional comfort to the carrier and protects both the weapon and interior of the pocket. The secure weapon positioning that the holster provides ensures safe and accurate grip and weapon removal from its pocket holster.

The Blue Force Gear ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster is available to fit the SIG SAUER® P238/938, KIMBER® MICRO, GLOCK® 42, and RUGER® LCP® / LCP2.

Find technical specs and see a demonstration of Blue Force Gear’s new ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster and other innovative products in booth 31209 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 17–20.

We feel that what we ended up with is an essential addition for anyone actively in a training environment or operational.”

SOTECH – New Products At SHOT Show

Sunday, January 15th, 2017

SOTECH will be debuting news products, a new veteran charity support program, a limited edition woodland camouflage Battle Bear, as well as throwing our 20th Anniversary Party at SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Visit us in Booth 20113.

SOTECH will display its new Assaulter Gun Belt, its next generation of our renowned Go Bags, and Mission Go Bags, our new line of Mission Packs, and our latest IFAKs. We will also give a sneak peak of a new medical system we are developing.

Vets Corps USA was founded four years ago to provide vocation training and therapy to veterans rejoining society, and small business start-up support to veteran entrepreneurs. SOTECH has created a line of products carrying a Veteran “V” and “US” worn by all service personnel as a patch. So while wearing a SOTECH bag sporting this patch, you can show support for US Veterans while financially supporting Vets Corps USA as a portion of each sale will be donated to this worthy non-profit.

The Battle Bear, a stuffed animal made of military surplus uniform cloth, benefits the Vets Corps USA and Green Vets LA program while forming a bond between the child and the deployed parent through the connection with the uniform pattern. Battle Bears sell out every SHOT Show, and this year we are featuring a limited edition woodland camouflage rip-stop Battle Bear, in addition to our traditional colors.

Every year, SOTECH is sought out to build private label (OEM) cases, slings, bags and pouches for companies needing nylon sewn items to go with their products. So come by booth 20113 with your needs and we will discuss our ISO 9001:2008 certified Los Angeles based sewing facility for your Berry Compliant sewing needs.

Thursday night of the SHOT Show week, we will be co-hosting a house party near the Las Vegas strip with Less Lethal Concepts. This party will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of SOTECH as well as showcase our sneak peek products. Less Lethal Concepts will demonstrate their Pepper Pack crowd control device, and of course there will be food and drinks.

We will also be giving out limited edition Anniversary stickers!

PROOF Research Awarded Contract for Future Weapon Systems Development

Friday, January 13th, 2017

Columbia Falls, Montana –PROOF Research, makers of advanced high-temperature composite aerospace/defense materials and components, cut-rifled steel precision rifle barrels, and carbon-fiber composite rifle barrels that deliver extreme accuracy, durability and up to a 50 percent weight reduction—has been awarded an $11.42 million contract for development of advanced hybrid composite muzzle brakes and medium caliber barrels for future weapon systems.

The program builds on PROOF Research’s successful small caliber barrel technology already in service with U.S. military forces, and will enable medium caliber weapons with increased performance and provide overmatch capability on tomorrow’s battlefield. “This project demonstrates the scalability and broad application of PROOF’s technology to any weapon system” stated PROOF Research CEO, Larry Murphy. “It is an exciting progression of our commercial and military small caliber products that will generate a tactical advantage in larger weapons. We are looking forward to improving the tools available to our warfighters.”

“PROOF’s hybrid composite barrel technology is unique in that it opens up the design space to provide lightweight, high stiffness barrels that cannot be manufactured with traditional materials and techniques. We can design and build medium caliber weapon system barrels with performance characteristics previously not attainable.”

Effort sponsored by the U.S. Government under Other Transaction number W15QKN- 09-9-1001/W15QKN-12-9-0001/W15QKN-14-9-1001 between the National Armaments Consortium and the Government.
