PROOF Research – Inside Proof
Monday, June 27th, 2016I got a chance to see this video from PROOF Research while I was in Germany during IWA. What I like about it, is that it gives you a glimpse behind the curtain and you’ll get to see a little of how those barrels are made. I think you’ll enjoy it as well.

Tactical Tailor – Tahoma Tote
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016The Pacific Northwest Pack Series began as a project to fulfill a solicitation for a suite of SOCOM packs. Our designs for this solicitation were brought about with input from actual SOF soldiers who took these packs to the field throughout the design process and brought back their impressions and recommendations for improvements. We took their advice back to our designers who then continually refined the packs until they met the exacting standards of these elite soldiers.
The PNW Tahoma Tote Assault MALICE Pack is an Alpine style pack designed for recon and sniping. It’s built for heavier loads with minimal bulk while wearing a plate carrier or armor. The Tahoma Tote is the lightweight of the PNW packs, weighing in at only 3 pounds before you add the frame and straps, but don’t let its light weight fool you, it can still compete with its bigger brothers when it comes to features. Along with its over 2500 cubic inch capacity, standard features include a reinforced carry handle, RTO zipper pass-through and side compression straps. It also includes side zipper access to the interior of the pack and oversized pockets on either side for large items like rifle buttstocks. Just like all the PNW packs, the Tahoma Tote is STRLLS and H harness compatible for airborne operations. Available in Coyote Brown and MultiCam.
Along with this new line of packs, we’ve also introduced upgrades to our traditional straps and belt in the form of our Low Profile and Low Profile Adjustable Super Straps and Ergo Super Belt. These new designs add even more comfort along with added functionality and adjustability. The Nisqually Pack is also available in a discounted kit form which includes the pack, our Fight Light MALICE Pack Frame, Low Profile Adjustable Super Straps and 34” Ergo Super Belt.
The PNW Tahoma Tote Assault MALICE Pack starts at only $270.00.
SureFire Responds To Competitor Suppressor Video
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016
Fountain Valley, CA — Recently, a suppressor manufacturer released a video showing what they claimed to be a “government agency test,” in which their suppressor outperformed the SureFire SOCOM556-RC suppressor. In response to this so-called “government agency test” video, SureFire would like to make clear to the public that the test in this competitor’s video was not a test conducted by SOCOM or any other government agency. The test was conducted in-house by the manufacturer of the competing suppressor, with a few members of the Military and Government in attendance. Additionally, the exact opposite results were obtained in actual SOCOM testing in which the competitor’s suppressor was evaluated alongside a SureFire SOCOM556-RC. In this test, the competitor’s suppressor failed, whereas the SureFire suppressor completed the test without incident or causing malfunctions of the MK18.
SureFire suppressors are proven performers and have been in use with military special operations forces, government agencies, and law enforcement all over the world with excellent results and feedback. This video appears to be nothing more than an attempt by the video’s producers to manipulate and mislead the public and potential government end-users. That said, we at SureFire take it as a compliment that a competitor would go to such lengths to attempt to disparage our product. Combine this with the unmatched loyalty of our customers, and we see this as nothing more than confirmation that SureFire remains the industry leader.
For those of you looking for some context, this SureFire press release is in response to a video (OSS vs. Best-in-Class SOCOM Baffle Suppressor Torture Test) released last week by Operator Suppressor Systems. You can check the video out on osssuppressors.com at the bottom of the landing page.

Arc’teryx Reminds You To Care For Your Gore-Tex Outerwear
Tuesday, June 21st, 2016
If you’ve got an Arc’teryx jacket or pants made from Gore-Tex, they’d like to remind you to give it a little TLC.
At the end of each season it’s a great idea to do a visual inspection of your gear so, if needed, you can have it repaired and ready for next season!
-Open and close each zipper and inspect teeth for damage.
-Verify that all internal elastic drawcords (i.e. hood and hem) are in good shape.
-Inspect the outside of the garment
