SOTech is proud to announce the debut of it’s Speed Clip Thigh Rig Quick Attachment System (Generation 2)(US patented). We are also proud to announce our development of a Taser Holster and Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) pouch with LAPD and LASD.

-Both agencies worked together in an effort to standardize their gear according to common requirements.
-Additional pouches including rifle magazine pouches are in use by these departments on the same platform.
-What is unique about SOTech’s Speed Clip configuration is that it can be quickly mounted on a thigh, duty belt, or MOLLE-compatible vest. SOTech recognizes the need for patrol officers to be light and nimble, while quickly Speed Clipping-on situation-dependent gear, like Tasers, rifle magazines and IFAKs.
-SOTech is also developing a third level of “Suit Up Gear” including vests and packs for deliberate preparation events such as civil disobedience control and warrant service.
-SOTech designed these pouches to be professional looking and compact keeping in mind they are in the public’s view.
-SOTech also has Speed Clip rigs for plain clothes agents and detectives, fire suppression, riot control, terrorism response, radios, and gas masks.
-SOTech began development of it’s Speed Clip line in 1997 as one of it’s first products. After decades of refinement on the streets of Los Angeles, we are proud to have been approached by two of the world’s most progressive law enforcement departments to create Generation II.

Sizes are determined by the length of loop Velcro® on HSG belts, but will also match up with other brands.

Features:

SHOT Show Means New Belt Pouches from Blue Force Gear

Wednesday, January 14th, 2015

Blue Force Gear sent us this release to give you a glimpse of some of the new products they will be unveiling at SHOT Show.

Belt-Pouch-pistol-Tactical-Shot

When we set out to design the perfect low profile belt pouch line for our elite military and law enforcement customers, we immediately turned to our combat proven Helium Whisper and Ten-Speed products for inspiration. With nearly a decade of daily combat use, the Ten-Speed line especially has established itself as the industry standard in ultra-lightweight, lightning fast magazine pouches. Using state of the art materials like ULTRAcomp laminate and Ten-Speed elastic, these new belt pouches are perfectly suited for use on a dress belt for undercover work or on a riggers belt or other duty belt for overt roles on the streets or down range.

Included in the initial pouch suite launch are the following; Single M4 High Mount, Single M4 Low Mount, Single Pistol, Double Pistol, Hand Cuff, Collapsible Baton, OC Spray, and Micro Trauma Kit. This comprehensive line promises to address the needs of those that want a durable, low-profile load carriage system, but not in a MOLLE compatible format.

We are accepting dealer orders now and they will be available direct from our website in early February. Be sure to come by and check them out in person while at SHOT Show in Booth #31209.

Maker Monday – S&S Precision Plate Frame Pouches & Accessories

Monday, January 12th, 2015

Pouches

The S&S Precision Plate Frame Pouch Ensemble has quickly evolved since the Plate Frame’s debut in 2012. For S&S Precision, it’s requirements driven design and these pouches were specifically created to fit the needs of PlateFrame users. There’s nothing extraneous here. Everything is functional with a minimalist approach to take up as little space as possible on the PlateFrame and hold weight to a minimum. But this doesn’t mean that these pouches are flimsy. To the contrary, S&S Precision has been working with the user community to offer items that will stand up to abuse in a variety of environments.
