SHOT Show 22 – Agilite Pincer Placard

Friday, January 21st, 2022

While elastic-style ammo pouches keep your magazines secure, many people complain that it can be difficult to reinsert them. Agilite went to work on the issue and came up with the Pincer Placard. They developed a new molded mouth that works like a funnel and lined the pouch for easier insertion. Yet, the elastic body still does its job.

They automated the test process of inserting magazines thousands of times in order to check wear on their new pouch. If you haven’t seen their test apparatus in action, be sure to go here.

Wednesday, January 19th, 2022

Vertx has announced the beginning of a partnership with Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics® (VTAC®). The collaboration begins with the launch of the VTAC® Stackable Storage Cube Collection in early 2022 and will be followed by regular product collaborations later in 2022 and beyond. The Stackable Storage Cube Collection is now on display at SHOT Show 2022 inside the Vertx® booth, #14253. Kyle will be making appearances in the Vertx® booth throughout the show.

Sergeant Major (retired) Kyle Lamb spent over 21 years in the United States Army, with over 15 of that in 1st SFOD-D Delta Force. He has participated in many conflicts, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Iraq, as well as in the battle made famous by the movie Black Hawk Down in Mogadishu, Somalia. SGM Lamb has received numerous valorous awards and decorations and is the Founder and President of Viking Tactics.

“Kyle’s experience as an end-user, both professionally and personally, and as a product designer gives him a unique perspective on the needs of the industry,” said Denny Bogard, VP/GM of Vertx®. “Working in tandem with Kyle and VTAC gives us an opportunity to continue to provide end-users with product that is high-quality, mission-oriented, and ultra-versatile in ways we never have before.”
