TYR Tactical Announces the Enhanced PICO Integrated Carrier – EPIC Non-Cutaway

Tuesday, April 26th, 2016

TYR Tactical has introduced the new Enhanced PICO Integrated Carrier – EPIC Non-Cutaway (TYR-EPIC-NC) to give customers a non-cutaway option for the EPIC line of vests. EPIC was designed specifically to ensure proper area of coverage while enhancing the users range of motion. What’s really cool is that this carrier can be retrofitted with a 2-Wire Cutaway Cummerbund if needed (sold separately).

EPIC Non-Cutaway utilizes a four piece design called the Integrated Ballistic System that increases ballistic protection and reduces back face deformation.

The four piece design includes a panel suspension and energy disbursement frame. Known as the Ballistic Vein, it increases the overall load carriage performance of a carrier and provides a more rigid platform for adding weight to the system. It also reduces fatigue by improving the complete structure of the carrier by retaining the soft armor panels in the proper configuration, preventing bunching and supporting the plates to improve edge hit protection. It reduces blunt trauma and back face deformation values and ultimately increases V50 performances by up to 125 feet per second by absorbing energy from projectile engagement.

FEATURES:
-PALS webbing for MOLLE attachment
-Hydration/Communication Tabs for routing
-Attachment points for a 2-Wire Cutaway Cummerbund (Sold Separately)
-EPIC Low Profile Shoulders
-Ballistic Vein increases load carriage performance, provides a rigid platform, reduces fatigue, stabilizes and enhances soft armor inserts.
-Reinforced Drag Handle
-Removable Assaulters Zip-On Back Panel
-Repair Buckle Kit
-Semi-Rigid Exterior MOLLE Cummerbund
-Compatible with the XFrame Dynamic Load Carriage System

The EPIC is available in three different styles depending on the profile (thickness) of your plate:

-EPIC 1 accommodates standard SAPI/ESAPI plates (.75” thick)
-EPIC 4 will hold the Morgan Level III plate (.75” thick)
-EPIC 6 will hold TYR-HA3/7 plate styles (.5” thick)

Armageddon Gear – Grippy Thing

Friday, April 22nd, 2016

The new Grippy Thing from Armageddon Gear will make quick work of stubborn Suppressors and other gear that need a solid grip to remove.

A day at the range will leave your hands sweaty and dirty. Combine that with suppressors that are difficult to remove due to their smooth shapes. The Grippy Thing was designed as a simple solution specifically for this situation.  But hey, you could use it for all kinds of things, like stuck lids on jars.  

Made from Coyote colored Hypalon, it unfolds for use. There’s also a loop that attaches to a pack, belt, or wherever.

Tactical Solutions XBR Available Exclusively from Silencer Shop

Tuesday, April 12th, 2016

Description:

When discussing rifle manufacturers, all firearms are not created equal. Undeniably, there are certain gun makers that are revered more than others due to craftsmanship and attention to detail. With their X-Ring Rifle, Tactical Solutions has claimed its stake in the upper tier of designers. This .22LR revelation meshes two renowned Tactical Solutions products—X-Ring barrel and X-Ring receiver – into a short barreled rifle available exclusively through Silencer Shop!

Using the history-laden Ruger 10/22 platform as the building block for the X-Ring Rifle, Tactical Solutions created a cutting-edge product that outdoorsmen will enjoy shooting and maintaining. Its 6061 T6 aluminum fluted bull barrel is light in weight and compact (a mere 12.25”), which just clears the Hogue stock, producing a svelte look. A rifled chrome-moly steel liner enhances the weapon’s durability and accuracy, in addition to bringing added balance throughout. The receiver is something to behold, as well. Sporting a dual-spring guide rod system combined with a heat-treated stainless steel bolt, the reliability and consistency offered by the X-Ring Rifle is second-to-none.

Marine South – Aardvark Project 7

Monday, April 11th, 2016

Aardvark’s System 7 debuted at SHOT Show but that venue is so big I didn’t get a chance to check it out. That’s why I attend so many smaller, regional shows. You never know what cool item you’ll get to see.

The System 7 armor vest is manufactured by Safariland’s Protech exclusively for Aardvark and incorprates all of the latest technologies like laser cut, laminated materials from Blue Force Gear and Tubes from FirstSpear.

The carrier is available with Velcro closure or Tubes.  You might also notice the angled laser cut PALS slots.  Aardvark says that internal testing has shown that this Angled MOLLE field is stronger in pull testing than more traditional horizontal slots.

The are numerous soft armor packages available for the vest from Safariland. Naturally, hard armor plates are also available but interestingly, they load into the carrier from the top.  Additionally, Aardvark offers removable upper arm, groin and throat armor to be used in conjunction with the base vest.

Above and below you can see the front and rear of the MultiCam and OD versions of the armor vest although Black versions are also available.
