SHOT Show – FS Range Day – Tap Rack Holsters
Monday, January 19th, 2015SHOT Show – FS Range Day – FS Vertical Envelopment Pack
Monday, January 19th, 2015
The new Vertical Envelopment Pack or VEP was developed to attach directly to an armor platform. It can easily be flipped from the rear to the front in order to access gear or to get it off your back such as when riding in a vehicle.
They’ve developed a couple of mag pouches that integrate into the pack as well. Look for a write up soon.
SHOT Show – FS Range Day – Oakley
Monday, January 19th, 2015Last Summer I visited Oakley’s home office where they told me about some ground breaking work they were doing on vision studies. They used a specialized pair of glasses to track where an operator’s eyes go. The point of the study was to introduce eye protection that doesn’t block the wearer’s vision as he conducts combat tasks such as shooting and fast roping.
Some of that research has been made practical in the Tombstone. This new design is designed specifically for the shooting community. Not only is the Lens shape of the Tombstone designed to offer maximum visibility (120 deg FOV), but they’ve incorporated the Prizm lens which works in a wide variety of light conditions.
In this frameless design, the temple pieces attach directly to the lens via a new patented one-button quick change Mechanism. You don’t have to smudge up the lenses and it’s as easy as swapping out a magazine. There are also two lens shapes with this initial launch; the Reap (larger of the two) and Spoil. Additionally, you can get them in a wide variety of lens colors aside from Prizm.
SHOT Show – FS Range Day – REVAC-USA
Monday, January 19th, 2015Revac-USA is a total tactical ropes solution company. They put folks where they wouldn’t usually be through training and equipment solutions. For example, they’ve used this caving ladder and hook on targets up to three stories tall.
Think of them as the Swiss Army knife of ropes. It’s not just going out to a unit and demonstrating a new rappelling harness. These guys are working with vendors to provide specialist products for access and rescue and helping world class problem solvers access vertical challenges previously difficult to tackle.
They’ve developed customized training courses for military and LE organizations and continue R&D to lighten the tactical climbers’ load.

Shot Show Sig Range Day – CANSOF Rifle
Monday, January 19th, 2015
Based on the 7.62mm SIG 716 platform, this rifle was built to answer a Canadian special operations forces requirement for a battle rifle.
According to SIG’s Kevin Brittingham, The thing that really stuck out about this requirement was the accuracy spec. They required 1 MOA at 300m suppressed. SIG was able to exceed this back with a quick detach suppressor on a rifle fired by Robby Johnson in front of CANSOF evaluators.
SHOT Show SIG Range Day – Pistol Cans
Monday, January 19th, 2015Meet the quietest .45 silencer on the market offering .45 suppression in the footprint of a 9mm can. Its 2-3 DB quieter than the next closest on the market and an inch shorter.
The SRD-45 and SRD-9 are new to the SIG line offering all stainless steel and titanium construction. Available first quarter 2015.
SHOT Show SIG Range Day – CSASS Submission
Monday, January 19th, 2015Here is a quick look at the SIG SAUER submission for the US Army Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System. Based on the MCX platform, it is considered an MCX-MR for Mid-Range.
This rifle met all requirements for CSASS including weight, length, and suppression. It can be side charged or via the more traditional, rear charging handle.
As you can see, it is equipped with a folding stock.
While the commercial MCX is now equipped with a self regulating gas valve, the CSASS model is a two position version that is marked on the rail.
It is a full auto gun as well.
Internally, there is another difference than the standard MCX. Rather than dual springs the MCX-MR uses a single operating spring. However, high wear points such as the steel cam path inset.
Additionally, they’ve incorporated replaceable dual charging handle pins.
The MCX, regardless of class, also offers a replaceable Deflector/ Forward Assist Housing. This includes the 7.62 gun!
Another high wear area that has a replaceable steel insert is the feed ramp insert just below the ejection port.
Finally, as we mentioned during AUSA, the barrels incorporate the new tapered flash suppressor and suppressor mount.
