Alien Gear Holsters Releases Company’s First Ankle Holster

Wednesday, February 14th, 2018

POST FALLS, Idaho (Feb. 12, 2018) – Alien Gear Holsters’ new ankle holster and ankle carry expansion pack are now available for purchase after years of development.

Alien Gear Holsters has steadily expanded holster variety from Alien Gear Holsters’ original waistband style of holsters, to offer more options for a wider amount of carrying preferences.

The ShapeShift Ankle Holster is a comfortable solution for those that sit all day, are looking for an alternative to waistline concealment or carry a backup firearm.

The ShapeShift Ankle Holster draws stability from a two-strap system that anchors at the heel, setting it apart from other ankle holsters. This design, combined with a premium engineered polymer spine for stability, ensures the ankle holster won’t slip down or compromise security.

Alien Gear Holsters’ Designer Taylor Vold has been involved with the ankle holster since its inception two years ago.

“I can guarantee you have never seen an ankle holster like this,” Vold said. “The time and effort that has been put into this product ensures that it is truly one-of-a-kind.”

The holster is compatible with the ShapeShift Modular Holster System, and quickly switches to a large variety of IWB, OWB and tactical style holsters. The system was designed to allow carriers more holster options for a significant reduction in cost.

For those who already own the full shell configuration, the expansion pack is the most cost-efficient option at $37.88. Purchase the full ShapeShift Ankle Holster for $61.88 at AlienGearHolsters.com/ankle-gun-holsters.html.

The Ankle holster is backed by a Forever Warranty and a 30-Day Test Drive.

B.E. MEYERS & CO Introduces Modified .50 Flash Hider for M2A1 Machine Gun Barrels

Wednesday, February 14th, 2018

February 14, 2018 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the M2A1F Flash Hider, developed in response to requests for a more durable flash suppression solution for the M2A1. Leveraging patented flash suppression design, the M2A1F preserves the superior performance and durability that the warfighter has come to expect from B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc. products.

COMPACT, RUGGED AND RELIABLE

The M2A1F is made from a specific selected alloy that has been heat treated to provide increased durability, and reliability over current competitive devices. Its left-hand thread pitch allows for quick and easy installation, and eliminates risk of separation from the barrel by self-tightening as shots are fired.

The M2A1F is a truly compact M2A1 flash hider. Measuring in at only 4.625” long, the M2A1F represents only a small increase in overall length of the weapon platform when compared to other legacy M2 variants, and does not negatively affect the cyclic rate of the short recoil M2 system.

ENGINEERED FOR DAY AND NIGHT OPERATIONS

The M2A1F’s patented open-tine design is internally serrated to diminish visible signature in both day and night engagements. The effectiveness of the M2A1F’s flash suppression supports uninterrupted use with night vision devices, eliminating momentary blindness and flash distortion.

ENHANCED CAPABILITY

B.E. Meyers & Co. is ready to equip users currently fielding the M2A1 HMG. The M2A1F is a superior solution for those looking for rugged, compact, and effective flash suppression, and can be easily fitted without any additional modifications to the weapon. With the B.E. Meyers M2A1F, the durable materials and design reduces risk of failure, improving confidence of reliability in all adverse conditions.

Minneapolis PD Selected OSS Suppressors for Super Bowl Security

Monday, February 12th, 2018

Millcreek UT – OSS Suppressors LLC is proud to announce the City of Minneapolis Police Department contracted and issued HX-QD 556k and HX-QD 762 suppressors to four Metro SWAT Warrant and Sniper teams. These teams were responsible for securing one of the world’s major sporting events recently held in their city – Super Bowl LII.

The selection of OSS was the culmination of an extensive 4-month evaluation conducted by the Minneapolis Police Department and assisted by Sentinel MN, a leading Twin Cities source of specialized firearms, optics and suppressors for law enforcement.

Sentinel MN owner Tom Huot said “our approach takes all the hype out of the process and puts quality equipment in the hands of the officers. Starting last summer, we presented a range of suppressors from over 10 manufacturers and let the teams test performance with thousands rounds.”

“We had evaluated suppressors a few at a time in the past,” said Mark Kaspszak, Minneapolis PD SWAT sniper, “and we had the opportunity to finally take a hard look at most of the major brands head to head and compare factors like sound suppression, muzzle flash, blowback, weight/length, accuracy impact, attachment mechanism, and how the suppressors impacted our SBR and precision rifles. After all that, leaders for both the Sniper teams and our Warrant teams unanimously selected OSS as the suppressor we wanted on our guns.”

“I want to thank Tom and Sentinel MN for their extensive work and professional approach” said Chris Estadt, VP of Marketing and Sales. “The Minneapolis SWAT officers were able to test the best suppressors on the market, and to individually experience the advantages of OSS’s patented Flow-Through™ technology and our new HELIX-QD 5.56 and 7.62 suppressors. We’re proud of the public servants who are dedicated to keeping our communities safe,” he said, “and we’re excited that more and more law enforcement professionals are experiencing the unmatched advantages of OSS.”

G T Distributors Establishes Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Monday, February 12th, 2018

G T Distributors is now Employee-Owned!

G T Distributors is pleased to announce that effective January 26th, 2018, 55% of the company’s stock has been sold to its employee’s retirement plan, through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The Texas-based public safety equipment and uniform distributor’s 100+ employees will become beneficial owners through the ESOP.
This transaction gives employees a financial interest in the success of the business, making the positive bonds between G T Distributors teammates even stronger than they are today. It also rewards those who have played a critical role in G T’s success since the beginning.

Jim Orr, celebrating 35 years with GT, plans to remain President for the long-term and the executive management team at GT will continue in its current form. “It has always been my desire for GT to continue being privately owned and managed, and the ESOP will help us achieve this goal, “said Orr, “The ESOP will enable the continuity of leadership and transition the company from family owned to employee owned. The management team is confident that the ESOP will make us an even stronger company.”

“Seeing the consolidation over the past few years in the public safety equipment and uniform space through mergers and acquisitions, we looked for other avenues of transitioning GT from a family business to something longer term that kept existing management in place and ensured our employees and their families continued job security. So often customer service suffers after an acquisition and faithful employees lose their jobs as they are duplicated elsewhere in the acquiring entity. We feel our existing management and staff know our customers best and understand the company’s future direction.”

Today G T Distributors employs more than 100 employees based in Austin TX, Dallas TX, Jacksonville FL, and Rossville GA. G T Distributors core purpose is supplying Public Safety personnel with the equipment it takes to keep our communities safe and allow them to return home safely at the end of their shift. G T was established in 1972 by Bill and Charlotte Orr in Rossville GA and we believe they would be proud to know of the company’s transition to employee ownership.
