SHOT Show 17 – Magpul PMAG 10 Year History
Tuesday, January 17th, 2017SHOT Show 17 – Blue Force Gear MARCO Dispenser
Tuesday, January 17th, 2017
Blue Force Gear’s Marking and Recognition Chemstick Organizer Dispenser – MARCO – is a more efficient, effective and compact way to carry marking lights for room clearing. With the MARCO dispenser, users can save critical time during preparation during
pre-mission tasks by not having to unwrap, tape and bundle chem sticks.
The dispensers design makes it simple for users – simply open the Mylar package with the pre-loaded dispenser, insert the MARCO dispenser inside of the belt or MOLLE holster and proceed with the mission. The design prevents the accidental activation of a chem stick, which can cause unwanted light.
In addition to being used during missions, the MARCO dispenser also has valuable application to the hunting world when out in the field trailing downed game at night.
The 2-inch mini chem sticks deployed from the MARCO dispenser provide the equivalent light of a 4-inch chem stick as seen through Night Vision devices and are self illuminating, continuing to glow rain or shine.
Find technical specs and see a demonstration of Blue Force Gear’s new MARCO Dispenser and other innovative products in booth 31209 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 17–20.
FirstSpear Range Day – Gentex/Ops-Core
Monday, January 16th, 2017To the left is the Gentex TBH-II MC (Mission Configured) and to the right is the Ops-Core FAST MT (Maritime). I wanted to give you a little information to help guide those making helmet purchases.
From any angle, they look the same. Both have the same shape, same suspension system, and same accessories. However, the TBH-II is an aramid ballistic solution and the FAST relies on a Polyethylene solution. The TBH-II offers 9mm protection at 1400 fps and the FAST offers 9mm protection at 1200 fps, so fairly similar balllistics. The real differences are in weight and cost. The TBH-II weighs in at about 2.5 lbs while the FAST helmet is 1.5 lbs, both as configured. Now is the biggest factor for many agencies; the TBH-II is $599 and the FAST is in the $1400-1500 range.
If you’re looking for mission configurability, and the cool guy factor, but are willing to accept higher weight, then you may want to consider the Gentex TBH-II MC.
FirstSpear Range Day 17 – TNVC TAPS
Monday, January 16th, 2017TNVC has made it happen! The Tactical Applications Pressure Switch (TAPS) from Unity Tactical has made the transition from low rate to full production.
It mounts directly to a Mil STD 1913 rail and its two pressure pads are user programmable to slaved or individual modes so you can control both light and laser from a single pad. You can control momentary or constant with the switch.
One lead works with SureFire lights while the other interfaces with Steiner or Insight lasers. It requires a single CR-2032 battery but will still offer momentary On with a dead or no battery.

BLUE FORCE GEAR ULTRAcomp Pocket Holster
Monday, January 16th, 2017The 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.

The secure weapon positioning that the holster provides ensures safe and accurate grip and weapon removal from its pocket holster.
