SHOT Show 20 – 1 Minute Out Mod 1 from C&G Holsters

Monday, January 27th, 2020

US Army SOF Veteran Jamie Caldwell teamed up with C&G Holsters to introduce the Mod 1 holster. Fits Gen 3, 4, 5 – 19X, 45 and 17.

It’s the first IWB hosted to incorporate a hinge between the holster and accessory. Others on the market either use a piece of material between the two which can move too much, or set a hard angle in the Kydex which won’t move at all. The idea here is that you can set your own angle for comfort and tighten the hinge into place so it won’t move on you.

Features:
-Medium sweat guard
-Tall sights standard
-Black, OD Green and Coyote Brown in color
-Red dot cut out (Trijicon SRO, Leupold DeltaPoint, Sig Romeo, etc.)
-Open Bottom (Threaded Barrels & Compensators)
-Custom Discreet Carry Concepts 1.75″ Belt clips

Although currently the Mod 1 includes a mag pouch, they’re introducing a handcuff carrier soon.

Last but not least, Jamie told us he is going to design a knife for production by Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment, a Geissele brand. The sheath will be by C&G Holsters.

SHOT Show 20 – Oakley Elite Assault Boot

Monday, January 27th, 2020

New for 2020 is the Elite Assault Boot from Oakley.

The AR 670-1 compliant boot features the Vibram Litebase Outsole along with a Vibram SPE Midsole, 8″ Cordura upper and their low profile Lace-Lock system which creates a locked-in fit.

The Elite Assault Boot is I’m told, the first in a complete refresh of their boot line with more models coming in the future.

SHOT Show 20 – Reebok Strikepoint

Friday, January 24th, 2020

Coming this April from Reebok is the Strikepoint which promises to be the lightest Berry compliant boot on the market. What’s more, it’s also AR 670-1 compliant.

They worked with Vibram to get the weight down and left out the liners in the upper so it’s much more like a traditional jungle boot construction.

SHOT Show 20 – Grey Ghost Gear Introduces New Back Panels

Friday, January 24th, 2020

Grey Ghost Gear showed a full line of zip on back panels for armor vests.

They’ve even got an adapter for those vests without incorporated zippers.

The panels use the same zippers as the Crye systems so there’s some compatibility here in both directions.

SHOT Show 20 – Tardigrade Industries’ OCELLUS Armored Eyewear

Friday, January 24th, 2020

Tardigrade Industries‘ OCELLUS line of Armored Eyewear is amazing. They showed is an early version and they’ve come a long way. They have met STANAG body armor rating for frag as well as other threats.

They’ve vastly improved the form factor to something more akin to a low profile goggle than the SCUBA mask-like earlier version. One of the next steps is integration of an Rx insert.

SHOT Show 20 – B&T APC10

Friday, January 24th, 2020

APC10? That’s right, B&T has introduced a 10mm version of their popular subgun. I got a chance to shoot it at Range Day and it’s a very smooth gun.

It features their new dual auto-folding, non-reciprocating charging handle and a side positioned bolt hold open/release. You can also customize the gun thanks to removable M4 compatible grip as well as a plethora of stock options. Better yet, the APC10 accepts Glock magazines.

SHOT Show 20 – ACTinBlack DTNVS

Friday, January 24th, 2020

The new DTNVS from ACTinBlack combines lightweight materials and a low profile while folded to the helmet to reduce neck strain during extended missions. Remember, ACTinBlack offers chassis which others assemble into full goggles. This means it weighs around 500 grams when combined with US tubes and glass.

The DTNVS goggle has a full feature set with individual sideways ON/OFF for each eyepiece and Flip-Up ON/OFF when folded up preventing backsplash on the helmet.

To complete the DTNVGs’ features it incorporates built-in IR LED for close quarter missions with separate IR-ON indicator and low battery indicator in the field of view. It is waterproof to 20m and boats a 30hour battery life.
