Altama Has Something To Show You At SHOT
Thursday, January 14th, 2016IWI US Introduces TAVOR SAR in .300 Blackout at 2016 SHOT Show
Thursday, January 14th, 2016 
IWI US, Inc., a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., is proud to announce a new caliber for the TAVOR® SAR; the .300 Blackout. The bullpup deemed “Rifle of the Year” by the NRA’s American Rifleman Magazine in 2014 continues to excite the American audience who have embraced the TAVOR SAR and the bullpup concept with open arms. For those who already own a TAVOR® SAR in 5.56 NATO or 9mm, a .300 Blackout conversion kit will also be available.
“We’ve had a ton of requests for this particular caliber as its popularity has grown as a good self-defense round as well as a hunting round,” Michael Kassnar, VP of Sales and Marketing for IWI US explained. “The .300 Blackout is a highly accurate, soft shooting round that is also a very effective hunting round, unlike the lighter more traditional varmint or military calibers. We listened to our customers on Facebook and through our Customer Service Department and this was a round that kept coming up to the top of the wish list. And we listened to our customers express their need for a .300 Blackout rifle that can reliably handle sub-sonic and supersonic loads. The result is an integral gas regulator built into the Tavor barrel that is easily adjustable for sub or supersonic rounds.”
The TAVOR® SAR bullpup configuration offers the short rifle convenience but with a full size rifle’s velocity, energy and accuracy. All of the TAVOR® SAR’s parts are MIL-STD and 100% interchangeable. The 16.5” or 18” .300 Blackout barrel is cold-hammer forged and chrome lined, made from CrMoV steel. The long-stroke gas piston system is also 100% ambidextrous in configuration and operation with an optional opposite hand bolt, and a simple field stripping is all that is needed to quickly and easily break down the TAVOR into two major serviceable subassemblies. MSRP is $ 2,049.00.
The .300 Blackout conversion kit includes a 16.5” or 18” cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel made of CrMoV steel with a 1:7 right hand twist, a headspaced bolt, an A2 flash suppressor and barrel wrench. MSRP is $499.00.

Comments During SHOT Show
Thursday, January 14th, 2016Alright folks, SHOT Show is just days away. Behavior in the comments section has been less than admirable lately.
Unfortunately, I’ve got to remind a small minority of commenters that they are guests here and should act like appropriately while commenting. The fact that I even have to bring this up annoys me.
Because I will be so busy during SHOT Show writing stories, I won’t have a lot of time to moderate comments. Instead, I’ll go the simple route. Act foolish, I’ll mark you as spam.
Now, what does that mean? Just act normal. If your normal mode is jerk, then there’s going to be a problem.
However, here are a few tips:
-Don’t post something you wouldn’t say to the other person’s face.
-Refrain from the use of profanity.
-Remember you’re a guest. This is a dictatorship. You don’t have any rights of ‘free speech’ here. You want to wild out, do it elsewhere. I hear Facebook is great.
-You aren’t a victim, so don’t act like one. If you get called out, be an adult about it.
-I once dated a woman who was passive aggressive. If you are passive aggressive, I’ll have flashbacks. Don’t give me flashbacks.
-You aren’t a comedian. No really, you aren’t. I’ll be in Vegas. If you were a comedian, you’d be there as well, headlining a show.
-Having reminded you that you aren’t a comedian, yes, there will be some goofy stuff at SHOT which I may share. Yes, you’re going to make fun of it. I understand.
-Typos are going to happen during SHOT Show. Live with them. It will be okay.
-It’s ok to critique a product or company as long as you tell everyone why. “It’s expensive” isn’t a valid reason.
-No one cares that you can’t afford it.
-Don’t call anyone a Nazi or a racial epithet, even if you’d do it to their face.
-Generic comments about milk crates, scooters, booth babes (which are an endangered species), gun bunnies (which aren’t endangered) and hi-points are okay.
-If I tell you to “eat a Snickers” or “take a knee and drink water” just relax. You’ve made your point and the horse is dead, dead, dead.
-This isn’t a challenge
The purge has already begun.
High Speed Gear Announces TACO LT and Slotted Battle Belt Lines for SHOT Show
Thursday, January 14th, 2016SWANSBORO, North Carolina – Jan. 14, 2016 – High Speed Gear® has a history of producing some of the most versatile tactical pouches and platforms in the industry. A proven performer, HSGI® continues to show tremendous popularity in the law enforcement and military markets worldwide. Our lengthy list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and hundreds of federal agencies.
In keeping with that standard, and from popular demand, High Speed Gear® is proud to expand its TACO® and battle belt families with the new TACO® LT and slotted battle belt lines. These lines feature our three top-selling TACOs®, including the Pistol TACO® and Double Decker TACO®, and slotted versions of our popular Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip® Padded Belts.
The TACO® LT, Pistol TACO® LT and Double Decker TACO® LT function like the traditional TACO pouches, but weigh 30% less with our new injection-molded polymer brackets and improved Cordura® laminate. The MOLLE versions take advantage of our resilient and light new vinyl MOLLE backers, while the belt mounted versions use a loop of Velcro® One-Wrap®. These pouches have been tested by law enforcement professionals and special operators alike and have proven to be as durable as the originals. Additionally, these pouches are much more flexible than the standard TACO® line, able to easily twist, bend and collapse without losing shape or breaking.
Our new, slotted, padded-belt systems are the next generation of the HSGI® padded-belt family. They maintain all the durability and versatility of the standard Slim-Grip™ and Sure-Grip®, but add more options for users. Through their paneled design, the wearer can attach both MOLLE and belt-mounted pouches, holsters and drop platforms to these padded belts. The design allows the user to either wear it as a full MOLLE system or weave the inner belt in and out of the panels to expose both belt and MOLLE attachment points. Additionally, the Slim-Grip™ – Slotted now features uniloops like our Sure-Grip® for use with our High Speed Low Drag Suspenders or other similar tactical suspenders.
The TACO® LT line, Slim-Grip™ Padded Belt – Slotted and Sure-Grip® Padded Belt – Slotted are available now.
Made 100% in the USA, Battle Proven Tactical Nylon Gear™
