SHOT Show – Yeti Tank

Thursday, January 29th, 2015

(null)

Down in the bowls of the basement at SHOT Show are some of the coolest products on the show floor. On the third day, I ran across a very packed Yeti booth. So packed, that I couldn’t get a photo of anything. These coolers are popular! They’ve got several new items coming but I thought the readers of SSD might appreciate the Tank.

(null)

Offered in 45 and 85 sizes, the Ice Blue is currently in stock with white and Desert Tan coming in April. The larger 85 model will accommodate up to 60 longnecks, 96 cans, 1 keg, 51 blue crabs, 24 mullet & menhaden, 98 slices of watermelon, 20 gallons of trash can punch, or 2 bushels of oysters. Yeti also offers insulated lids for transport, storage, keeping everything cooler longer or as a place to plop down around a campfire.

SHOT Show – Elzetta/IWC Offering New Light Collaboration

Thursday, January 29th, 2015

In the stuff we missed at SHOT Show category are these new lights from Elzetta/IWC.

Elzetta-IWC Mini-CQB M1913 installed

Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce our collaboration with Impact Weapon Components in developing the new Mini-CQB Modular Weaponlights. Based on Elzetta Alpha technology, the new Mini-CQB delivers 315 lumens of diffuse neutral-tint light in a beam pattern optimized for close quarters battle engagements. The Mini-CQB is available with any of six Tailcaps (Rotary, Click, Alpha High/Low, High/Strobe, or Tape Switch with 5″ or 12″ Cable). It is also available with two ambidextrous attachment mechanisms; M-1913 Picatinny or Keymod/M-LOK. The Keymod/M-LOK system fits both mounting systems by utilizing the patent-pending reversible nuts in one direction for Keymod and flipped for M-LOK. The Mini-CQB Weaponlights join Elzetta Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Modular Flashlights as The Toughest Flashlights on the Planet, featuring fully-potted electronics and solid-acrylic optical lenses (no reflectors). Mini-CQB Weaponlights start at $210 MSRP with deliveries beginning in April 2015. Like all Elzetta products, Mini-CQB Weaponlights are Made in USA with a lifetime guarantee.

SHOT Show – Spuhr AB

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

I always enjoy visiting with Håkan Spuhr. He consistently offers up now, innovative products, year after year. This SHOT Show he showed me his Ballistic Adjustment Module designed for use with rifles and machine guns.

(null)

It’s a unimount for the Aimpoint M4 and magnifier which adjusts for elevation. That’s right, the mount moves up and down with distance settings found on an ambidextrous knob at the front of the BAM. The 50/200m setting is considered zero and in addition to visible settings there is a tactile “tongue” on the knob to determine zero position.

(null)

While there are 5.56mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800m) and 7.62mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800, 1000m) settings, quantity purchasers can specify custom distance settings.

Håkan exhibited at SHOT Show with Mile High Shooting Accessories.

SHOT Show – Blackhawk! GripBreak Leather Holster

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

(null)
Blackhawk! introduced the GripBreak Leather Holster at SHOT Show 2015. The idea here is that it’s for the folks who won’t / can’t use the Serpa holster. Instead of your trigger finger to release the pistol, you use your thumb.

SHOT Show – Outdoor Research

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

For some time now, Outdoor Research has been teasing me with news that they were going to bring some of their most popular clothing styles over to the military line with Coyote color. What they unveiled at SHOT Show were several models including this Foray Jacket in Coyote and Black.

(null)

Made from GORE-TEX PACLITE, a two layer laminate with a 50D poly shell. In addition to the flapped front zip it incorporates OR’s TorsoFlo hem-to-bicep zippers for venting. There are two handwarmer pockets (the left doubles as stuff sack) and a single Napoleon pocket on the chest.

(null)

OR also introduced the Drycomp Summit Sack in Coyote as well. I LOVE this bag and have been Jonesing for one in an earth tone for some time. It is made from a lightweight 70D nylon and incorporates a roll top closure as well as daisy chain and ice axe loop. At either side are mesh pockets and compression straps to help manage the load. Padded mesh shoulder straps make this a great summit pack or for use on recces.
