Velocity Systems – Enhanced Variable Width Riggers Belt
Friday, January 15th, 2016 
The Velocity Systems Enhanced Variable Width Riggers Belt is now available in black with three buckle options to choose from. The new buckle options allow each customer the ability to choose the belt that fits their individual needs. The Velocity Systems Enhanced Variable Width Riggers Belt solves the issue of having to wear both a trouser belt, and then another riggers belt through a battle belt on top of that. When used with our Operator Utility Belt, this belt can be used as a single belt to both keep your pants up, and don a Utility Belt. The Variable Width Riggers Belt is a 1.5″ Riggers Belt that is woven down to 1″ at the buckle so it fits through any trouser belt loops. The reverse of the belt is Velcro® One-Wrap® to mate with the interior of our Operator Utility Belt. *Utility Belt is not included*

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Discrete Operations Vest (DOV)
Friday, January 15th, 2016
For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the Discrete Operations Vest. Extremely light weight and low volume, the FS Discrete Operations Vest, or DOV, is built as modular augmentation to products like the NOC or the Slick, and it can be used on its own as well.
The DOV features stretch hooks which seamlessly integrate onto the FS Line 1 Belt, as well as elastic loops above the stretch hooks that the Line 1 belt can be fed through.
The DOV is adjustable via a rear mounted high-stretch cummerbund. Wide elastic shoulder straps offer comfort and a stable opposed fit with the front. The two front panels of the DOV are designed to accept the range of FS Ragnar Pockets. Additionally, the DOV features positions tabs which facilitate the management of PTTís, Cable and spoon deployed ordnance as well as antennae management.

High Speed Gear Announces TACO LT and Slotted Battle Belt Lines for SHOT Show
Thursday, January 14th, 2016SWANSBORO, North Carolina – Jan. 14, 2016 – High Speed Gear® has a history of producing some of the most versatile tactical pouches and platforms in the industry. A proven performer, HSGI® continues to show tremendous popularity in the law enforcement and military markets worldwide. Our lengthy list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and hundreds of federal agencies.
In keeping with that standard, and from popular demand, High Speed Gear® is proud to expand its TACO® and battle belt families with the new TACO® LT and slotted battle belt lines. These lines feature our three top-selling TACOs®, including the Pistol TACO® and Double Decker TACO®, and slotted versions of our popular Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip® Padded Belts.
The TACO® LT, Pistol TACO® LT and Double Decker TACO® LT function like the traditional TACO pouches, but weigh 30% less with our new injection-molded polymer brackets and improved Cordura® laminate. The MOLLE versions take advantage of our resilient and light new vinyl MOLLE backers, while the belt mounted versions use a loop of Velcro® One-Wrap®. These pouches have been tested by law enforcement professionals and special operators alike and have proven to be as durable as the originals. Additionally, these pouches are much more flexible than the standard TACO® line, able to easily twist, bend and collapse without losing shape or breaking.
Our new, slotted, padded-belt systems are the next generation of the HSGI® padded-belt family. They maintain all the durability and versatility of the standard Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip®, but add more options for users. Through their paneled design, the wearer can attach both MOLLE and belt-mounted pouches, holsters and drop platforms to these padded belts. The design allows the user to either wear it as a full MOLLE system or weave the inner belt in and out of the panels to expose both belt and MOLLE attachment points. Additionally, the Slim-Grip™ – Slotted now features uniloops like our Sure-Grip® for use with our High Speed Low Drag Suspenders or other similar tactical suspenders.
The TACO® LT line, Slim-Grip™ Padded Belt – Slotted and Sure-Grip® Padded Belt – Slotted are available now.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – OEM Partner Series – Triad Tactical Inc.
Friday, January 8th, 2016
For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re continuing the OEM Partner Series by taking a look at Triad Tactical Inc. Triad Tactical Inc was started in 2002 by Steve Sheldon. “I was on a full-time SWAT team in the Kansas City area and was spending a fortune on gear. Starting Triad was a way to save myself some money on equipment, and I thought it might be possible to turn it into a “legitimate” business. After 20 years, I left the department during the summer of 2015 and now run Triad full time.”
Why did you choose American Made?
Failed zippers on imported products with a one year warranty sealed the deal for us to have products made in the USA. The products do cost more, but the materials and sewing is much better. Our company motto is “Buy Once, Cry Once.” This means spend a little more up front on quality products so they will be durable and high quality.
Why did Triad choose FirstSpear manufacturing?
I had worked with 4-5 smaller companies over the years and always had lead time and capacity issues with them. I had worked with several of the FS staff while they were at Eagle so when FirstSpear started it was an easy switch to them.
Take a look at three of the products that FirstSpear manufactures for Triad Tactical.
