National Molding has introduced a Hybrid Side Release Buckle that boasts a 300 lbs break strength by combining stainless steel and polymer. You might also notice that pronounced actuation making it great for gloved hands.

We first met PROOF Research at SHOT Show and I’m impressed with the lower weight and improved performance exhibited by their Carbon Fiber wrapped barrels.
At Modern Day Marine they have this .50 BMG Reduced Weight Sniper System. In addition to the PROOF Research barrel with AAC brake, it incorporates a McMillan Action, Steiner 5-25×56 optic and Cadex Chassis. They’ve been able to shave about 55% on barrel weight bringing the total weight down 25.3% (37 lbs to 27 lbs 10 oz).
The new hotness from SureFire is the P3X Fury Tactical which boasts 1000 lumens! All that at 1.5 hours with just three CR123A batteries.
That’s enough power to illuminate targets at over 400m. There will be two models, one will have the standard momentary switch as well as a version with a clicky switch.
Coming soon from www.SureFire.com
Silynx has developed several BA-5590 adapter cables and their latest is a cable for USB. This version is for a single USB port but they are also introducing a double USB charger.
As far as I am concerned Battle Systems LLC owns the signal panel market. Now, they’ve teamed with the guys at EAGLElement to develop the Multipurpose Marker Panel Bag that does double duty as a marker panel as well as a SSE bag. Triple duty if you consider it can be stuffed and used as a pillow.
Available in two models, one is zipped and the other non-zipped. Obviously, the non-zippered model has to be turned inside out for use as a signal panel but the zippered version offers twice the panel real estate as well as two Velcro strips for Brite Strike APALS or other accessories.
First seen on SSD at SOFIC 2012, the ArmorWorks Protective Combat Shirt has evolved with new materials and a new look. The genesis of this shirt is the ArmorWorks Protective Under Garment (PUGz) first fielded by the US Marine Corps in 2011 and subsequently by select units of USSOCOM. Like the PUGz, the Protective Combat Shirt is flame resistant (FR) and designed to protect the wearer from IED blast fragmentation and associated small particle debris.
The shirt is designed and cut to provide the wearer with additional protection for all the areas not covered by PPE. As seen in the accompanying pictures, the lower abdomen, lats, arms, neck and throat are all protected by a proprietary two-layer, double-sided Kevlar knit/jersey construction (sage green material in the photos). The Kevlar knit on the outside provides the combat proven protection while the inner jersey layer provides the moisture wicking comfort.
The high v-neck zipper-less collar provides 360 degree protection around the throat and neck without the uncomfortable bulge of a zipper under your plate carrier or body armor vest. The torso and back of the shirt features a diamond shaped jacquard mesh ventilation pattern commonly seen in state-of-art sports apparel that maps directly to the heat zones of an operator wearing body armor, providing breathability and cooling where needed most. As mentioned previously, the shirt is FR throughout and features X-STATIC antimicrobial technology that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Whether you’re planning a short notice trip to EUCOM or you’re already ankle deep in spent brass, this is the shirt you want to have on! The Protective Combat Shirt will be on display at the Modern Day Marine, September 24-26 at ArmorWorks Enterprises booth #2003.
