DSEi – CTC Defense

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

The MVF-600 is a mil-spec (810-G) modular vertical foregrip. While a standard package consists of a visible or IR laser and 200 lumen light, they also offer modules that provide IR illumination as well as remote tape switching for other weapon accessories such as a PEQ.

As you can see, the modularity is effected by a simple throw lever system.

DSEi – Diamondhead

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

Elite Defense showed me a set of polymer Back-Up Sights being introduced by Diamondhead.

Based on their current sights, this new polymer model uses the same diamond-shaped aperture that the company was founded upon. However, unlike current models, the new polymer model is spring loaded allowing them to pop-up when selected for use. Also, rather than a plastic aperture, Diamondhead uses an aluminum aperture for a sharper sight picture. You may notice white markings on the sights. This is a photo luminescent material that is pressed into the material.

Additionally, the rear sight integrates two different apertures for near and far range and the sight can be stowed regardless of which aperture is in use. You can adjust the front sight with a simple-to-use barrel adjust,net and the rear sight is adjusted with a coin or screwdriver.

Patagonia is on hand at the Elite Defense booth and the Europeans are eating it up! They are especially interested in the Jungle Uniform which I wasn’t sure would actually be released for sale due to US military demand.

DSEi – Powertraveller

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

We have a long history of using Powertraveller products and find them both easy to use and reliable. The waterproof, solar power Powermonkey Extreme is receiving a paint job. Coming in November, it will be offered in The current Black as well as a Coyote color. Additionally, Powertraveller is bundling the Powermonkey Extreme with a Helium Whisper utility pouch from Blue Force Gear. Pouches are offered in Black, Coyote and MultiCam.

The heart of the Powermonkey Extreme is essentially a battery or mobile power source. In addition to the solar panel the device can also be charged via 12v or shore power. It provides 9000mAh and you can expect it to retain 75% of the stored power over a year of unused storage.
