GALLS Announces Acquisition of Her BlueWear

Monday, April 14th, 2025

Answering The Call To Provide Fit to Shape, Tailored Uniforms To Women In Law Enforcement

Lexington, Ken. (April 2025) – GALLS®, the nation’s leading uniform and tactical gear supplier serving America’s public safety and military professionals, proudly announces the acquisition of Her BlueWear UniformsTM. This acquisition marks a significant step in GALLS®’ commitment to female first responders, providing them greater access to uniforms tailored for their unique needs. GALLS® is Proud To Serve Those Who Serve.

GALLS® purchase of Her BlueWearTM provides product scalability and increases accessibility for women in public safety to experience uniforms that enhance performance, comfort, and safety. Her BlueWear UniformsTM started with uniform pants. As the largest distributor in the public safety industry, GALLS® resources will augment the brand/product line by adding tailored uniform shirts. Full uniforms will be available to order at a department level first, with individual ordering capabilities coming later this year.

Mike Fadden, CEO of GALLS®, stated, “For the past five years, every time I talk to a female police chief, they ask me when we (GALLS®) will fix the issue of women’s uniforms not fitting. I took on the challenge personally and am proud to bring Her BlueWear TM into the GALLS® portfolio of brands to provide female officers with tailored uniforms that fit. Because GALLS® is relentless with our focus on the customer, this partnership will give female officers greater access to uniforms that are made for their specific needs.”

Her BlueWearTM was founded in 2007 by Denise Czack to solve a long-overlooked issue: the lack of properly fitting uniform pants for women in law enforcement and public safety. Traditionally, female officers were forced to wear uniforms designed for men, leading to discomfort, mobility issues, and even safety concerns. Her BlueWear’sTM tailored designs offer three distinct fits – Balanced Fit, Defined Fit, and Streamlined Fit – accommodating sizes 0 to 24.

Her BlueWearTM Founder, Denise Czack, expressed her appreciation of GALLS®commitment to expanding access to the product line. “Her BlueWear began at a happy hour with my sister, a police officer, after yet another uniform failure. That moment sparked a fire in me; women in public safety deserved better. Her BlueWearTM is entering a new and exciting chapter in the mission to deliver safe, functional, and confidence-building uniforms to the women who serve. Seeing a woman light up when she puts on a Her BlueWearTM uniform for the first time is what drives us.”

As the only uniform company solely dedicated to designing for women, Her BlueWearTM led the way in providing female officers with apparel that fits, functions, and empowers. Now, with GALLS® resources and a relentless focus on the customer, the ability to serve women in public safety has never been greater.

New LANTAC Sight On Laser (SOL) Front Sight Post For EOTech OGL

Monday, April 14th, 2025

OGL INTRODUCTION:

The design for the EOTECH On-Gun Laser (OGL) focuses on human performance factors under extreme stress creating thepremium choice for professional users. The OGL Standard Power (restricted to MIL/LE use) is powered by a single CR123 battery providing up to 9 hours of continuous run time. The machined aluminum housing provides extreme durability in a compact package roughly the size of a standard deck of playing cards.

The IR illuminator utilizes a high performing Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diode creating a clean beam and allowing quick adjustments from spot to flood. The ergonomic (patent pending) lever is unique to the OGL and allows professionals to adjust their illumination needs instantly, all while maintaining superior situational awareness.

LANTAC SOL (Sight On Laser):

The Patent Pending SOL™ (Sight On Laser) is designed to solve rail space issues when mounting backup sights and Laser Illuminators or Laser Aiming Modules (LAMs). It is manufactured to mount directly to the Eotech OGL.

The OGL is an ideal candidate for direct attachment as it features an aluminum chassis and four T10 Torx head screws that retain the unit’s lens covers. These can be utilized to form a robust attachment point for a backup front sight.

By mounting directly to the Laser/Illuminator, the maximum amount of rail space is retained for the operator’s convenience. The device can be mounted to the top rail as far forward as the rail permits, leaving space for other equipment and furniture—even on the shortest carbine configurations. This increases the backup sight radius and improves aiming accuracy.

The sight has minimal forward projection from the LAM and features an angled front face to reduce potential snagging.

MAXIMUM RAIL SPACE, MAXIMUM SIGHT RADIUS:

On a 10.5” Handguard the SOL allows for a 16.5” Sight Radius and 6.0” of available rail as compared to a traditional folding sight that delivers a shorter sight radius of 15.25” with only 3.5” of rail left available to the operator.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, SIDE:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Traditional folding sights produce a brighter highlight signature with increased light spill over the weapons handguard.

The Lantac SOL produces a much more diffuse highlight signature with less overall illumination spill.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, HIGH READY:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Traditional Folding Sights when deployed produce a considerably brighter illumination signature as compared to the Lantac SOL.

IR ILLUMINATOR SPILL, SPOT & FLOOD:

Observed through a PVS14 White Phosphor NVM.

Regardless of the OGL’s illuminator beam angle the Lantac SOL demonstrates minimal IR spill signature.

With departments across the USA requiring backup sights to be fitted to duty weapons’ rails, space is at a premium. Many users are forced to mount LAMs on the side of handguards, where they increase snagging potential, take up valuable grip and illumination mounting space, and cause convergence issues by not aligning properly with the weapon’s optics. In the case of the OGL, side mounting also makes operation of the illuminator divergence lever more problematic.

The rear surface of the SOL mates to the front face of the OGL and acts as a massive recoil lug, reducing stress on the fixingscrews. The parts are in continuous contact and therefore act as one complete assembly.

The sight is supplied with two specially manufactured ‘extended’ Torx screws that support the rubber lens covers and anchor the sight to the OGL chassis.

FLEXIBLE & DEPENDABLE:

The SOL’s unique design provides a fully adjustable front sight that takes up no rail space. It uses a standard AR15/M16/M4 sight post that offers 1.250 MOA of adjustment per quarter turn and 5 MOA per full revolution. The design includes a standard drain hole below the sight post channel and positions the channel at the correct 2.357” over bore, exactly as you would find in a traditional triangle FSB (Front Sight Base) with the same elevation adjustment range.

Any aftermarket post (such as tritium) can be installed should the user desire.

Absolute or Lower 3rd co-witness can be achieved through the choice of optics height, and the system offers full redundancy should both the optic and laser fail.

MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING:

Precision machined from certified 7075-T6 Aerospace alloy and Hardcoat Anodized to MIL-A-8625 Type III Hardcoat, Class 2, Black.

SIGNATURE REDUCTION:

Satin black finished to reduce IR light reflectance.

Forward position reduces IR illumination spill on exposed surfaces.

KEY FEATURES:

• Optimizes Rail Space
• Low ISS (Illuminator Spill Signature)
• Robust Mechanical Attachment
• Longer Sight Radius
• Full Elevation Adjustment
• Compatible with all Sight Post upgrades.
• Sight Post drainage hole.
• Certified Aerospace Grade Materials for full traceability.
• Weight = 0.5 oz
• Patent Pending
• Made in the USA.
