High Speed Gear Products Group Unveils New Products and New Branding at SHOT Show 2024

Friday, January 19th, 2024

SWANSBORO, N.C. – January 19, 2024 – The year 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of High Speed Gear as a brand and also the first year that the company debuts at SHOT Show 2024 as High Speed Gear Products Group. The company brings together a powerhouse of industry-leading tactical gear, holsters, and related accessories.

Most know the High Speed Gear brand for its world-famous product, The TACO® Magazine Pouch. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of High Speed Gear, the brand is launching the Gen 2 TACO line. This evolution of the world-renowned TACO demonstrates High Speed Gear’s dedication to continued innovation, quality, enhanced functionality, and durability.

BlackPoint Tactical, typically known for their high-end concealment holsters, is excited to announce an addition to their family of back-country products, the Bando holster. The Bando Holster is built in collaboration with Bushcraft and Survival expert, Kevin Estela. This platform offers end users an innovative way to carry .22 caliber survival or plinking pistol when in the backcountry, all without interfering with your standard EDC holsters.

Comp-Tac is proudly representing one of the largest OEM partnership portfolios for holster manufacturers in the industry. The brand continues to support the Competition Shooting community with exciting news on the horizon.

Crucial Concealment, one of the fastest growing concealment brands in the US, is excited to preview their newest innovation in the COVERT holster series, the Universal Light Holster. This holster solves what has been a pain-point in the industry for decades, SKU count. This newest holster variation will accommodate a variety of popular modern pistols equipped with the TLR-7, TLR-1 or X300 models at launch with plans to offer additional models thereafter. This product fills a need for both end users and dealers, simplifying the market and slashing SKU count for light compatible holsters.

In addition to groundbreaking product releases, High Speed Gear Products Group is proud to present an expanded and upgraded booth display. The new booth design and expanded gallery not only reflects the group’s commitment to a dynamic and engaging presence but also provides attendees with an immersive experience into the world of all four brands’ cutting-edge tactical gear.

“We have so much to show the world as High Speed Gear Products Group this year on our 25th anniversary. Together, our family of brands offer industry-leading gear for Law Enforcement Professionals, Members of our Armed Services, Competitive Shooters and responsibly armed citizens needing the highest quality holsters for carrying concealed.” said Allison Mitchum, Director of Sales and Marketing at High Speed Gear Products Group. “Our logos may have changed this year but our commitment to our customers remains the same. Our team is looking forward to showcasing our newest products and engaging with our customers and industry partners at SHOT Show 2024.”

B&T USA Expands Production of APC9K SD2 US Army Submission

Friday, January 19th, 2024

Tampa, Florida–B&T USA, a leading manufacturer of firearms and suppressors, is pleased to announce that it has expanded production of its 9mm APC9K SD2 models complete with the company’s scalable suppressor system. This variant was submitted for consideration during the United States Army Sub Compact Weapon (SCW) trials as a demonstration of technology, with the Army ultimately awarding that contract to B&T USA for its APC9K SMG.

“To win a U.S. Government contract, you must submit a product that as closely meets the defined specifications as possible. That’s not necessarily what you think the end user needs, but when we’re developing platforms like this, we want to be two steps ahead of the game,” said Chris Mudgett, Vice President of Marketing, B&T USA. “In other words, we want to build firearms that won’t be obsolete in a year—or three years, or even 10. Without a doubt, that’s a challenge in the technologically advanced landscape of modern battlefields and urban law enforcement, but when the U.S. Army sees what you’ve done and acknowledges you gave them more than they asked for—much more—you’ve succeeded in fielding a firearm that has market longevity.

“Initially introduced in a very limited production run to service the SCW contract, the demand for the APC9K SD2 from other market segments has been unprecedented,” continued Mudgett. “What our customer want, our customers get, and we’re excited to be ramping up our production numbers in 2024.”

At less than 15 inches in overall length, the APC9K SD2 is the shortest integrally suppressed submachine gun available on the market today (a semi-automatic version is also available to both consumer and professional markets). With a 3-inch ported barrel and an over-the-barrel suppressor design that is fully contained within the short, M-Lok-compatible SD handguard, this weapon is optimized for low-visibility carriage and discreet deployment, delivering exceptional accuracy, controllability and ergonomics. Should the user require the utmost in suppression in lieu of compactness, a second-stage suppressor can be threaded onto the first, providing APC9 SD Compact-level (mid-length) decibel reduction.

See the Dark Wolf Ventures Howler at SHOT Show

Thursday, January 18th, 2024

Satcom/RF Backhaul with Advanced Situational AwarenessThe Dark Wolf Howler is one of many custom communications products!! Whether you are working with P25 or other platforms, the Howler can connect you anywhere in the world using the Iridium LEO constellation, even if you’re on the move! In one current configuration (as shown), ICOM’s F7500 Series P25 radios are backhauled over the ICOM SAT100M Satellite radios for a true BLOS (Beyond Line Of Site) system. In the pics, Jay Chapman and Brandon Newsome from Iridium, Kevin Rutherford from Dark Wolf Ventures, and Glenn Williams from ICOM America conducted a demonstration in which P25 radios at an installation in South Korea are connected over satellite to IDAS radios in Ft. Carson, CO. This P25 to IDAS RF backhaul through the Iridium constellation also allows for real time PLI tracking and messaging through ATAK on a Samsung Tablet.

Schedule a meeting to join us at SHOT Show this year and check out one of our newest releases.

The Howler from Dark Wolf Ventures integrates ATAK on the Tab Active 3 from our partners at Samsung.

Dark Wolf Ventures’ custom ATAK plug-in provides remote command and control of the connected radios, real time updates of physical location, short messaging, and improved situational awareness.

Jay Chapman and Brandon Newsome from Iridium conducted a demonstration of the P25 Howler in South Korea.

Even while using different digital protocols, the Howler provided seamless situational awareness and consistent communications from around the world.

The Howler in mobile IDAS configuration was connected from Fort Carson, CO to the P25 Howler in South Korea. The mobile configuration goes from storage to fully operational and backhauling over satellite in fewer than five minutes, and can even be used on the go.
