AUSA – Team Wendy Transit Pack by Mystery Ranch

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

This is a sneak peek of a cool new helmet storage and transport bag from Team Wendy who partnered with Mystery Ranch.

The bag is operationally focused with stowable shoulder straps and PALS for those who want to attach it directly to a vest or other bag.


Inside are two modular zippered accessory pockets as well as a larger drawstring bag for NODs which can be nestled in the shell of the helmet for additional protection. The interior of the Transit Pack is Velcro loop which is not only soft against your kit but also allows the pouches to be attached wherever you want.

AUSA – TYR Tactical PICO DS Chest RACK 

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

This is the new PICO DS Chest RACK from TYR Tactical. It was designed specifically for use with their PICO DS but it can also be run independently with an H Harness. An interesting feature is that each of the four individual magazine pockets at the rear are actually Combat Adjustable Happy Mag Pouches. For those who want extra security for their magazines, they’ve included optional bungees.

Additionally, it also capacity for two pistol mags (pouch is magnetic) and two GP Pouches, one of which will hold an M67 and the other is a bit larger at 4″x5″ for med/signal/SERE needs.

The spacer mesh at the rear is removable and the RACK can be attached via Velcro. However, the SR four buckles hold it in place pretty well.

AUSA – Trijicon Machine Gun Reflex Sight

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

The Trijicon Machine Gun Reflex Sight has been popping up out there for awhile, but it’s now officially released at AUSA. Think of it as an RMR on steroids.

At 5.22″ tall, 8.78″ long and 4.17″ wide this isn’t some tiny reflex sight. It is 66.9 oz with battery and mount.  The glass is 2″ x 3″ and incorprates a 35 MOA segmented circle around a 3 MOA dot reticle. It’s uses a single CR123A, made from 7075-T6 Aluminum and waterproof to 6.6′.


The MGRS offers ranging knobs for the M2 and M240 which can be easily swapped out. For adjustment there is 100 MOA of azimuth and elevation. They are suggesting customers use the AN/PAS-13 mount.


Additionally, they’ve integrated a mounting option for a 3x magnifier into the housing. The magnifier is articulating and can be swung in and out of battery. There are no buttons to push or levers to pull. The magnifier locks into place and it takes a good bit of force to move it from one position to another. It can be mounted to the side Picatinny Rail mounting point. The MGRs sports three of these Pic rail mounting points.


Made in USA!

BE Meyers & Co – GLARE RECOIL

Sunday, October 2nd, 2016

This is the GLARE RECOIL™ from BE Meyers & Co. This green laser hail and warning system is the sole-source winner for the MARCORSYSCOM Ocular Interrupter (OI) Program ($49M IDIQ), and is also under evaluation for several other US and International programs, including the US Navy Hailing Acoustic Laser & Light Tactical System (HALLTS) program. It is the proven design.

The GLARE RECOIL™ is the only truly eye-safe Escalation of Force laser dazzler for hail and warning, with an NOHD of 0 meters due to the integration of a laser rangefinder into the safety controls of the system. The GLARE RECOIL™ can easily envelope both short-range and long-range target areas through the motorized zoom functions. It is an amazing piece of technology.

This video explains how the GLARE RECOIL differs radically from any other hail and warning system by illustrating how their patented “SmartRange™” technology works. Watch the video at bemeyers.com/media/videos.

SmartRange™ technology identifies the range to target and automatically regulates the power to correspond with output that is safe for that distance. If the target moves, the systems self-regulates power on target accordingly.

Designed for combat applications, the GLARE RECOIL™ incorporates groundbreaking safety technologies in a ruggedized package that performs in demanding land and sea environments, with impactful hail and warning capabilities able to safely alert targets anywhere from 3 meters to beyond 16 kilometers (10 miles).

Law Enforcement, BE Meyers hasn’t forgotten about you. The GLARE HELIOS™ is the Law Enforcement specific version of the GLARE RECOIL™ which provides identical controls in the same compact form factor, with FDA variances approving the GLARE HELIOS™ for use by all Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies and others meeting specific defense and security criteria.

If you’re going to be at AUSA this week, be sure to stop by BE Meyers & Co (booth #2342) to check out the GLARE RECOIL and MAWL for yourself!

Blackhawk Introduces The Omnivore Holster

Friday, September 30th, 2016

I got to check out the new ‘Omni’ during Modern Day Marine and I am impressed. It’s nothing like the Serpa, a holster which is synonymous with Blackhawk. Named because it will accept virtually any pistol you put in it, the Omnivore offers Level 2 retention ans fits more than 150 styles of semiauto pistols. Unofficially, it will fit almost three times that, but right now they are only claiming 150.

The secret sauce is their proprietary Rail Attachment Device. The Omnivore’s active retention mechanism locks onto RAD, not the frame of the handgun. It doesn’t wear the pistols frame or slide. A 3-position adjustable height thumb release disengages the locking mechanism when drawing the handgun. In the case of lightbearing models, the holster locks unto the weapon light.

This graphic depicts the three initial models. Light bearing versions include the Streamlight TLR-1/2 and the SureFire X-300U.

One final note; the Omni is designed to acceot all of Blackhawk’s holster mounting options.
