Sunday, February 7th, 2016

belts

February 5, 2016 – North Carolina based small manufacturer Misty Mountain Threadworks, Inc. announced that it has entered into a partnership with Australian based military and tactical distributor Southern Cross Equipment PTY LTD of New South Wales, Australia to supply the Australian Department of Defence with Misty Mountain’s ISH harness.

Misty Mountain and Southern Cross have been working together for three years to develop the market for ISH and other Misty Mountain harnesses in Australia and New Zealand. Their first meeting was at the biannual Outdoor Retailer Trade Show in held in Salt Lake City, UT. Spencer McDonald of Southern Cross stopped at the Misty Mountain booth manned by Operations Manager Mike Lavarnway and President Goose Kearse. Spencer’s eye was caught by the Integrated Stealth Harness, a scalable personal protection system with belt, leg loops, and chest harness. ISH was designed and developed in conjunction with retired USAF PJ Ish Antonio and is the harness solution for USSOCOM’s TCCC CASEVAC Kit.

Spencer seeded key operators in the ADF with Misty Mountain harnesses and gear. He took in their feedback and helped Misty Mountain develop custom solutions as needed to best meet the Australian requirements. As a result of the Australian commandos’ evaluation of the ISH system they have selected the ISH Original Belt, Leg Loops, and Chest Harness for their personal protective harness. The ISH Sit Kit formed by the ISH Original Belt and Leg Loops and the ISH Chest harness all carry the UIAA Safety Label. For more information about ISH or any other of Misty Mountain’s climbing gear please visit www.mistymountain.com. Misty Mountain’s military and tactical gear is made in the USA and Berry Amendment Compliant. In Australia and New Zealand, Southern Cross is the exclusive distributor of Misty Mountain gear. Please find them at www.southerncross.net.au.

DSG Arms CDC HOLSTER

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

DSG CDC Pocket_Pistols (1 of 10)

Compact Discreet Carry – New Pocket Pistol Models

Fort Worth, TX, – In a move to provide more options for concealed carry, Defense Solutions Group, Inc. has added three new models to the Compact Discreet Carry IWB Holster line-up: the Ruger LCP, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and the M&P Bodyguard.

The DSG CDC Holsters, priced at $49 retail, are currently available for order in the new models as well as Glock 17, 19, 26, 42, 43, and Sig P229.

Feedback on the DSG CDC Holster has been strongly positive, with one reviewer stating “I had been using the DSG Alpha with J hooks for IWB carry.  That was a good solution – no issues – however, the CDC is even better, much better.  Carrying G26 (standard mag) I hardly notice it’s there — to the point where sometimes I reach back to make sure it’s still there.”

The CDC (Compact Discreet Carry) Holster was designed for low-profile all-day wear, with an adjustable cant for both appendix or behind the hip belt placement. The rubber-mounted belt clips are designed to easily slide onto standard size 1.5” or 1.75” belts, locking securely in place. The CDC Holster comes with an engineered sight channel for night sights, as well as adjustable weapon retention.

Features:

– Adjustable cant: upright/vertical for appendix OR forward for behind the hip
– Smooth kydex texture for comfortable carry
– Rubber mounted belt clip for easy on-and-off the belt
– Belt clip designed for secure retention through daily activities
– Adjustable weapon retention
– Engineered sight channel for night sights 
– Smooth draw

Models for the Sig Sauer P320C/P320 subcompact, and left-hand models for the Glock 17, 19, 26, 42, and Glock 43 are in the production plans for Spring 2016.

MultiCam Pattern Presents – The Baja 1000 Video

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Documentary to Feature Former Special Operations Veteran and Baja 1000 Ironman Jeff Benrud

Brooklyn, NY – MultiCam, a division of Crye Precision’s camouflage pattern is designed for use in a wide range of conditions, has partnered with renown video production house, Foxhound Productions, to launch a documentary highlighting Team MultiCam member Jeff Benrud’s solo journey as he competed in the 48th SCORE International Baja 1000.

The video, set to launch February 2nd through MultiCam’s youtube channel, tells the story of Benrud’s third Baja 1000 run; with his previous two races having participated as part of a relay team on a dirt bike, this attempt was entirely on his own as a participant in the Ironman division.

Known as the longest point-to-point off-road desert race in North America, the Baja 1000 puts participants through a grueling pursuit, racing for close to 1000 miles through relentless terrain comprised of jagged rocks, loose sand, powdery silt beds, technical hill climbs and even more technical descents – not to mention livestock roaming freely. The Ironman division required riders to take on the burden of the entire race, on their own. No teammates, no rests.

Playing host to 250 competitors, seven in the Ironman class, in vehicles ranging from dirt bikes to high horsepower trophy trucks, participants found themselves managing the added element of danger amongst each other – most notably during the night stages, as the trucks would pass Benrud, at speeds of 120mph in some sections.

Benrud is an Army Special Operation veteran who teaches defensive and offensive driving capabilities to the military special operations community at American Offroad, with his business partner and off-road racing legend, Ricky Johnson (who can also be seen throughout the film). The combination of his military and off-road experience prepared him for the 821.38-mile course; in which he rode his #715x MultiCam® Alpine wrapped Honda CRF450x (which was auctioned off recently at the 2016 SHOT Show; with proceeds benefiting several Special Operations charities).

“There are few people who show as much fortitude, drive and overall conviction as Jeff. Our pride in being able to support him and his efforts is immeasurable,” stated MultiCam® Brand Manager, Ernesto Rodriguez. “Jeff is not only a hero to our country, but he is also one of the toughest men on the planet.”

The film highlights Benrud’s journey throughout the 25-hour race, and follows his emotional finish with blistered hands, a dirt caked face and his support team of his family and friends. Viewers will be taken alongside Benrud, leaving them feeling exhausted and excited as if they were there with him.
