Blue Force Gear Offers Free Shipping On ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster Preorders

Friday, February 10th, 2017

POOLER, GA., Feb. 1, 2017 – Following a successful SHOT Show and positive response from attendees regarding its all-new ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster, Blue Force Gear®, the designer and manufacturer of the world’s finest weapon slings and tactical equipment, has announced that it will offer free shipping on all preorders placed now through midnight on March 1. The holsters, which are the thinnest pocket holster available today, are expected to ship beginning on March 1 and orders can be placed online at www.blueforcegear.com/pocket-holster.

Currently, the Blue Force Gear ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster is available to fit the SIG SAUER® P238/938, KIMBER® MICRO, GLOCK® 42, and RUGER® LCP® / LCP2. After resoundingly positive feedback from SHOT Show attendees and Blue Force Gear social media fans about the new holster, the company plans to debut additional models this year, including its GLOCK® 43, Smith & Wesson® J-Frame Revolvers, Taurus™ 738 TCP, M&P® Shield™ and BodyGuard® 380 pocket holsters. These models will be available at a later date in March.

“The amount of excitement we witnessed surrounding our new pocket holster at SHOT Show, as well as on our social media pages, was so impressive that we knew we needed to encourage individuals to preorder this item to avoid selling out,” said Tom Kaleta, Director of Marketing. “Our free shipping promotion is an added incentive for individuals and ensures that they’ll be one of the first to get their hands on our new pocket holster.”

The Blue Force Gear ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster is the company’s first foray into the everyday carry (EDC) market. 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.

TAPS In Stock and Ready to Order from TNVC & Unity Tactical

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

TNVC and Unity Tactical are very happy to announce the release of TAPS and TAPS PRO.

TAPS_1

For years the industry has struggled with standard pressure switches functionality and modularity. TAPS changes the way with think of pressure switches, and it now becomes a true component of a light and laser. No longer will the operator struggle to attach and maintain their pressure switch to a rail system, no longer will the operator wish he could power a white light and visible laser with one button. TAPS breaks through these long standing barrier’s with a paradigm shift to enable a pressure switch to do what it’s supposed to do; a complete one point command and control system for all weapon-mounted electronics.

TAPS_2

TAPS will be offered in 2 versions, TAPS PRO and TAPS.

TAPSPro Info Sheet

TAPS PRO will be a full programmable switch that mounts directly to any industry standard rail, including M1913 Picatinny, KEYMOD, M-LOK and will run off a single CR2032 battery for over 3000 “device-activating hours” (battery will last for years under normal operation tempo). The switch will operate in failsafe mode if the battery dies or is not present (this means it will work as a standard pressure switch until battery is replaced – user preferences will remain programmed). It features two onboard buttons and two accessory leads. TAPS comes standard with a Surefire Light lead and MIL-Standard / Crane Laser Lead that fits NATO standard lasers from Insight Technology, Steiner, B.E. Meyers, and others.

TAPS Info Sheet

TAPS (non-programmable) mounts directly to any industry standard rail, including M1913 Picatinny, KEYMOD, and M-LOK. No third party rail adapters are needed, keeping the weapon lighter and sleeker.

During our SHOT Show coverage we told you about SOTECH’s Recce Vest based on the item issued to the British SAS for decades and officially known as the Pack, Lightweight Combat. Now, their modernized version is available for order.

SOTECH presents a high ride vest that rides above gun belts / LBE Harnesses and over plate carriers.

We also added a cinchable storm hood to the back pack for retention. The vest is made of 500D Cordura for lightweight durability. Removable foam insert providing padding for optics and electronics sold separately.

  • First and only sub $200 plate carrier featuring BOTH 6/12™ and Tubes™ technology.
