High Speed Gear Is Dedicated To Building The Best American-Made Tactical Gear

Tuesday, June 13th, 2017

Though we have made some product videos in the past, we wanted to stretch it out a bit and put a video together that highlighted how our products are used during your day job, your second job and when you are out doing your own thing. Yes, it was my idea to shoot our marketing guy (but don’t we all want to do that from time to time?). Additional videos will be released on SSD this Wednesday and Thursday.

Last Hurrah from High Speed Gear on Vimeo.

Our video does highlight a great deal of our traditional gear; plus, our latest line of Kydex holsters. You can check with your local dealer or online at www.highspeedgear.com to see the current weapons that we cover. HSGI’s® goal is to continue to expand the Kydex line to include IWB as well as light- and laser-bearing holsters. Not sure if many of you realize that our line now extends to over 1,200 SKUs.

The HSGI® OWB Kydex Holster securely holds your weapon of choice. Precision-molded Kydex ensures a tight grip and smooth operation, while the adjustable, curved belt loops enhance concealment and comfort. This holster includes removable adapter pieces that enable it to securely fit both 1.5” and 1.75” belts. Additionally, the minimalist cut and precision mold of each holster prevents discomfort or “biting” when sitting or kneeling. These holsters also feature smooth outer surfaces for safe and sleek use. These holsters are currently available for GLOCK and S&W M&P models, as well as Sig Sauer P320 models (released today).

While we’re on holsters, High Speed Gear® just launched our Ambidextrous Nylon Holster (pictured below). Our PALS-mountable, 1000D Cordura® nylon holster was designed to work with most medium frame semi-automatic handguns. Designed for all shooters, it features a removeable bungee retention tab and adjustable thumb break, which can be configured for ambidextrous use. This holster may not be compatible with after-market attachments. It includes one long and one short HSGI® Clip for attachment to PALS. MOLLE webbing on the front and back allows the holster to be attached on either side, perfect for both left- and right-handed shooters.

This is day one of our three (3) day posting on Solider Systems Daily – look for us on Wednesday and Thursday as we share more videos and product.

Stay safe,
Bill

Hearing Protection Act Language Incorporates Into Comprehensive Sportsmens Package

Tuesday, June 13th, 2017

This is some great news regarding the future of removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act. Most of us have heard of the Hearing Protection Act, a bill championed by the American Suppressor Association which seems to have recently lost steam. But, they’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make the language even more effective and to package it into new legislation with more sponsors and additional enhancements for outdoorsmen amd firearms owners.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a hearing for the morning of June 14, in which the Federal Lands Subcommittee will hear a discussion draft of the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act. The SHARE Act, which is being championed in a bipartisan manner by Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) Co-Chairs Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC), and Representative Gene Green (D-TX), is a comprehensive package that covers a wide range of hunting, fishing, and outdoor related issues. Included in the legislation is Title XVII, a strengthened version of the Hearing Protection Act.

Since the re-introduction of the Hearing Protection Act by Rep. Duncan and Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) in January (H.R. 367, S. 59) the American Suppressor Association (ASA) has met with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on multiple occasions to discuss technical amendments to the language. As a result, we were able to create several technical amendments that were incorporated into the current draft of the SHARE Act. These include:

Sec. 1702: Removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act, subjecting them to the same instant NICS background check as long guns, and issuing a refundable tax credit to anyone who has purchased a suppressor since the HPA’s original date of introduction
Sec. 1703: Ensuring that suppressors will remain legal in all 42 states where they are currently legal, after suppressors are removed from the National Firearms Act
Sec. 1704: Preempting states from levying taxes or registration requirements on suppressors. However, this will not make suppressors legal in any state where state law currently prohibits them.
Sec. 1705: Granting the ATF 365 days to destroy all suppressor related records from the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR)
Sec. 1706: Developing a “keystone part” definition, and requiring that such keystone part is serialized on every suppressor. This will ensure that individual suppressor parts, like pistons and endcaps, will not require serialization.
Sec. 1707: Imposing a 10% Pittman-Robertson excise tax on the manufacture of each new suppressor, a tax that is currently imposed on all Title I firearms

“The inclusion of the Hearing Protection Act in the sportsmen’s package highlights the commitment of the Sportsmen’s Caucus to make the hunting and recreational shooting experiences safer and more enjoyable for all,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “We know for a fact that exposure to noise from recreational firearms is one of the leading causes of hearing loss, which is why the CDC, NIOSH, and the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) have all recommended using suppressors as a tool to mitigate the danger. We look forward to working with the Sportsmen’s Caucus to make this legislation a reality.”

Suppressors have been federally regulated since the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934. Currently, prospective buyers must live in one of the 42 states where they are legal, must send in an application including fingerprints and passport photos to the ATF, pay a $200 transfer tax, and wait for an indeterminate amount of time for the ATF to process the application. As of June, 2017, wait times are in excess of 10 months. In stark contrast, many countries in Europe place no regulations on their purchase, possession, or use. This legislation will remove suppressors from the onerous requirements of the NFA, and instead require purchasers to pass an instant NICS check, the same background check that is used during the sale of long guns. In doing so, law-abiding citizens will remain free to purchase suppressors, while prohibited persons will continue to be barred from purchasing or possessing these accessories.

PRIME Announces Ammunition Subscription Service

Monday, June 12th, 2017

NEVER WORRY ABOUT AMMUNITION AGAIN
Introducing PRIME Ammunition’s Shootscription™ Service

Las Vegas, NV, June 12, 2017– PRIME Ammunition is now offering an ammunition subscription service, dubbed Shootscription™, with the aim of providing more convenience to their customers. PRIME’s program has been designed to offer shooters of any volume the ability to accurately forecast their ammunition requirements with the convenience and peace of mind often absent when taking on the task of reordering consumables. PRIME Ammunition is able to offer this service with an unprecedented guarantee of price and availability due to their exclusive manufacturing partnership with RUAG Ammotec, the world renowned Swiss munitions company.

“You hear it pretty regularly from people who come out with new products…I worked with a talented team to build something that I personally wanted and would use on a regular basis.”, says Jim O’Shaughnessy, PRIME’s founder and CEO. He continued, “but PRIME’s Shootscripition™ service was born from the basics of how I train: I enjoy shooting, I shoot the same calibers and loads on a regular basis, I don’t enjoy shopping for ammunition, it bugs me when I can’t find the products I like, I don’t like it when prices go up, and I understand what my time is worth.”

When asked what the catch was, O’Shaughnessy replied, “It really is as simple as that. To have an uninterrupted supply of very dependable ammunition at a fair price that I don’t have to think about is the goal…it just shows up at my door on a regular basis with no contractual gotchas – that’s valuable to me. I hope our PRIME customers find Shootscriptions™ valuable and convenient as well.”

PRIME has set up their zero fee service with Shootscriber™ exclusive benefits like discounted pricing on all products, complete scalability for every type of shooter, free shipping for orders over $250 per interval, exclusive promotions, sales, and giveaways, as well as a complete guarantee of delivery and stable price.

Long time PRIME customer, multi discipline shooter and instructor, Michael Furrer, offered this testimony as to why PRIME Ammunition is his go to source for quality ammo and why Shootscriptions™ make sense to him, “I’m a business owner and rifle coach, working with juniors in Olympic style shooting and as a volunteer coach for the police department in my area. My precision long range experience began 40 years ago while in the Army. I made the decision to shoot PRIME Ammo for two primary reasons. First was quality. This ammunition is some of the most accurate consistent I have ever fired and consistency is the name of the game in long range precision shooting. The second is time. I enjoy spending my time on the range shooting, competing, coaching kids, and relaxing with my family. Why in the world would I spend my time at the reloading bench when I can get PRIME Ammunition at a competitive price? And now with an automated subscription option like this, PRIME is an even more obvious choice.”

Shootscriptions™ are available now and can be managed via your customer account dashboard. For more information, please visit www.primeammo.com/shootscription

Blue Force Gear Adds Trauma Kit Offerings With Basic Option For Every Day Carry

Friday, June 9th, 2017

See It Today at ADS Federal Range Day

POOLER, Ga., June 8, 2017 – Blue Force Gear®, the designer and manufacturer of the world’s finest weapon slings and tactical equipment, is continuing their mission to change the mindset of everyday carry (EDC) by adding a basic trauma supply option to their Micro Trauma Kit NOW! (MicroTKN!) product line.

With the overwhelming popularity and success of the MicroTKN!, which was first released at SHOT Show 2017, Blue Force Gear® saw a need for a kit which had critical lifesaving tools that was even more accessible in both cost and the level of recommended training.

“Our goal is to put the MicroTKN! on as many people as possible to create a more prepared population,” said Tom Kaleta, Director of Marketing of Blue Force Gear. “Each day seems to bring another example of why this mission is so important. This basic kit puts lifesaving equipment which can be utilized by practically anyone to save a life.”

The MicroTKN! Basic medical supply load-out specifically designed for small-form, low-bulk applications. It is also available in two, attach and wear methods, the belt pouch and MOLLE. The new basic medical supplies option contains:

• NuStat Tactical™ hemostatic dressing for wound packing/clotting (1 included)
• 4” Emergency Trauma Dressing (1 included)
• 9” Medical Grade Easy Tape (6 included)
• Tourni-Kwik Compression Tourniquet (1 included)
• Heavy Duty Medical Gloves (1 pair included)

The MicroTKN! is the smallest version of the Trauma Kit NOW! TM, designed to hold essential lifesaving medical supplies in a small easy-to-carry pack that takes up minimal space. The MicroTKN! is constructed with Blue Force Gear’s ULTRAcomp® and TenSpeed® elastic making it less bulky and stronger than a typical medical pouch. The inner carrier can be easily deployed with one finger or one hand from either the left or right side by pulling the BLIP™ (Ball Loaded Index Point) featured pull-tabs.

“It is simple: We made a more affordable kit that is easier to use. This furthers our vision of equipping millions of good people with the mindset, knowledge and equipment they need to help in life’s most challenging situations.” said Ashley Burnsed, CEO of Blue Force Gear.
