SHOT Show – DownEast

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013

This new Dragon Lock holster retention system from DownEast offers Level 3 retention on a fabric holster. The design is ambidextrous and can be changed with simple tools. It will also work on Kydex or polymer holsters but was really designed for use with fabric holsters.

This is huge for small manufacturers and will be tooled up and ready to go in a month.

Additionally, DownEast has been working to improve how their polymer feed chute actually attaches to the weapon. They’ve developed a new two piece feed chute collar.

SHOT Show – Vertx Working with Industrial Alchemy to Produce Packs and Bags

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013

SHOT Show 2013 marks Vertx’s move into packs and bags. They’ve teamed with design house Industrial Alchemy. Industrial Alchemy has been around for about 10 years and does a lot of work in the core outdoor industry. In fact, they worked on the old SDS commercial line. That means you are going to see some cross over of outdoor into tactical designs.

Colors are both earth tones as well as Kryptek patterns. While final color decisions remain, you can be assured that their will be great options for blending in.

These are design concepts that will give you an idea of what they will be offering. They are concentrating on a smooth, no obtrusive exterior with a ton of features built in. Sure, there’s PALS webbing behind the flaps of this sling bag. But what you won’t see here is the secret sauce behind the PALS behind the flaps. We’ll leave that for a later time.

These prototype sling bags are very well executed. You’d think they were production models.
