The main compartment flap opens fully and has two removable dividers as well as two included pistol rugs to keep shooters organized. A wraparound nylon carry handle and removable shoulder strap make the bag a breeze to transport, while lockable zippers provide an added layer of security. MSRP for the range bag is $30.95.

Thursday, June 17th, 2021

IMPROVING THE GLOBAL STANDARD OF LESS LETHAL TECHNOLOGY (McLean, VA – June 17, 2021) After setting the global standard in less lethal technology with the original FN 303 system, FN America, LLC, the world leader in developing law enforcement technology and training, is pleased to announce the release of the FN 303® Mk2 Less Lethal Launcher. FN answered requests from law enforcement officers and agencies to make key improvements to service life and accuracy.

“From the first release of the FN 303 Less Lethal launcher in the early 2000s to the release of the Mk 2 variant today, FN has been at the forefront of the ever-changing landscape of policing, developing innovative solutions for officers and agencies,” said Charles “Bucky” Mills, Sr. Director, Law Enforcement and Federal Sales for FN America, LLC. “Updates in the FN 303 Mk2 include fully adjustable sights for ease of zeroing, and upgrades to the air operating system that double the service life of the launcher and reduce required maintenance.”

Built from lightweight, rugged polymer and driven by a compressed CO2 air tank, the FN 303 Mk2 upgrades FN’s less lethal technology for today’s officers, delivering pin-point accuracy out to 50-plus yards with new, adjustable flip up metal sights and a MIL-STD 1913 top rail for optical or red dot sights. The optimized operating system doubles the service life of the FN 303 Mk2, now allowing 5,000 projectiles to be fired before first routine maintenance is required thus reducing department armorer maintenance requirements.

The fin-stabilized, .68-caliber FN 303 projectiles deliver optimum accuracy with maximum effectiveness and safety. Officers can quickly change projectiles from inert, marking impact or irritant projectiles. The clear rear magazine cover allows officers to verify the projectile type and remaining projectile count in the magazine.

Safariland Takes Holster Retention to the Extreme

Wednesday, June 16th, 2021

Holster maker captures the security and safety of its retention technology like never before.

Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets, today debuted a holster video like no other. For years Safariland has set the standard for how firearms are retained in a holster. This extreme video puts new light on proven technology.

“At The Safariland Group, we live for innovation, performance, excellence and legacy every day” said Tim Drnec, VP of Marketing and Commercial Sales for The Safariland Group. “Our team wanted to go out and show our products in an all-new way, and they certainly achieved that-and then some. These scenarios demonstrate the ultra-reliability of our holsters’ function, design, build and of course, retention.”

Secure Against High Force, Jolts and Torque

Strength, power and endurance are all honed in the gym. They’re also qualities of the world’s top holsters. So Safariland took its products to the gym floor to be tested by free will and brute force. When the time came to push the threshold of Level IV retention, they headed out to a maritime playground for a high-speed day on the water. And to remind everyone that retention is critical at all altitudes, the team went to new heights. They also showed these holsters release how and when they should and function in the most dynamic of environments.

Safariland has taken the utmost pride and gone to immeasurable lengths to ensure firearms are secure in all of its holsters. The company is continuously seeking new innovation to add to the premier product lineup. Every effort is being made to uphold and build upon the legacy of protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals as well as private citizens.

More information on the tests, the new video and the results are available at inside.safariland.com/shop-page/retention.

The official report was received this week after an intensive 18 month development and testing program – opening up opportunities to sell the suit in the US and other global markets requiring NIJ certification. NP Aerospace is one of only two manufacturers in the world to have been awarded this level of certification on a bomb disposal suit.

James Kempston, CEO, NP Aerospace: “NP Aerospace Bomb Disposal Suits are world leading in blast mitigation, survivability and overall comfort and ergonomics. Adding NIJ certification to an already world leading product is a significant accolade for our business and our overall EOD product line. As a global armor manufacturer with over 40 years’ experience in ballistic protection we are well versed in complex testing programs, however reaching this milestone in just 18 months is a major achievement. Users who require NIJ certified Bomb Disposal Suits now have the choice for a highly comfortable, ergonomic option with best in class survivability.”

The 4030 ELITE suit is now part of several program tenders – attracting significant interest from defense and law enforcement organizations. Users at recent US EOD events have commented on the suit’s flexibility and fit at a low weight, advanced blast protection and ability to configure the base suit with a wide range of accessories. Communications, cooling and CBRN systems can be easily added to the suit without costly system upgrades.

CALGARY, Jun. 14, 2021 – Tacteris Systems (“Tacteris”), today announced that it was awarded a Phase 1 contract by the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) to develop and deliver a software solution for the “Fast and adaptive logistics planning military missions” challenge of the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program.

Forte™ will address key capability gaps identified by DND, enabling planners to create baseline logistics plans and investigate the effects of foreseeable issues on those plans. The Forte™ application will be fully integrated with Tacteris’s existing Maestro™ technology which provides 3D mission planning, battle management, and situational awareness capabilities.

“By combining the logistics capabilities of Forte™ with the operational planning capabilities of Maestro™, we can deliver a solution at a mature technical readiness level,” said Sean Dunn, CEO of Tacteris. “We have exciting plans to develop novel visualizations, predictive algorithms, and other decision-support capabilities to support logisticians across the full-spectrum of the CAF mission.”

P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts from UF PRO Uses New Flex/Waist System to Create Tailored Fit; Available Starting Today

Tuesday, June 15th, 2021

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (16 June 2021)—UF PRO today announced that it has rolled out an innovative pair of tactical shorts promising greater comfort, better performance, and a sharper look thanks to its use of the company’s new Flex/Waist System.

Available for purchase as of this morning, the debuting P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts will be offered in four solid colours: Black, Brown Grey, Kangaroo, or Navy Blue. Additionally, the shorts can be obtained in the camouflage patterns of MultiCam or MultiCam Black.

The P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts start at €129 per pair. They may be bought online at the UF PRO website or from the gear-maker’s brick-and-mortar outlet in Trzin.

A key selling point of the P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts is its Flex/Waist System, which enables the garment to conform smartly to the shape of the wearer’s waist.

The Flex/Waist System also improves comfort by allowing these shorts to completely fill the gap that normally exists between the inside of the waistband and the curvature at the wearer’s lower back. Elimination of that space is accomplished by strategically positioned 3D pad.

At the heart of the Flex/Waist System are side stretch-panels. These allow for expandable width adjustments without the possibility of creasing the fabric and they work with the 3D pads to prevent skin irritations.

Included with the Flex/Waist System is an integrated under-belt with a reinforced buckle that prevents the under-belt from turning sideways and fixates the waist width, preventing elastic side panels from overstretching.

Other notable aspects of the P-40 Gen.2 Tactical Shorts include:

– Construction from lightweight, breathable, fast-drying NyCo materials that contribute to improved comfort and performance in hot summer weather;

– Side-pocket ventilation openings covered with anti-mosquito mesh (each of the two side pockets is spacious and accessible via a vertical side zipper);

– Variety of pockets (in addition to the large side pockets there are also hand pockets, a small strap-secured gear pocket atop the side pockets, a pen pocket, a knife pocket, and two back pockets);

– Large Belt loops and the under-belt buckle are reinforced with CORDURA® fabric.
