SHOT Show 17 – Team Wendy Exfil Gen II

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

The Exfil Gen II offers a 20% weight reduction at Level IIIA protection. Additionally, it retains the same frag and BFD spec as the original helmet.

The helmet also features a new shroud from Wilcox. You can see the new version to the left, compared to the right.

Finally, the Gen II rail, offers a new geometry to both save weight and provide an attachment point for a forthcoming visor. This new rail is also backward compatible to the original message.

SHOT Show 17 – ZEV Technologies

Wednesday, January 18th, 2017

This is ZEV’s Delta Point Pro Adjustable Sight Plate.

Developed in conjunction with Leupold for elements of USSOCOM, it is the first Leupold approved mounting solution for the Delta Point Pro. Made from 300 series stainless steel, it allows the shooter to easily switch between the irons and DPP. Obviously, it’s also designed to work seemlessly with ZEV’s proprietary slide cut.

SHOT Show 17 – CZ-USA

Tuesday, January 17th, 2017

IMG_4432

CZ-USA’s newest pistol, the P-10 C, takes a few design cues from the like-sized Glock 19: mid-sized striker fired handgun with a safe action-style trigger, a slide lock just like Glock series pistols, a Glock-esque accessory rail, and it’s even reported to fit in the same holsters as the G19. Still, it’s not a one-for-one copy. The trigger, for example, does feel better than a stock Glock trigger with a clean break and reset, and the grip texture is fairly rough for improved grip retention; a bit-but-not-quite-like the RTF2 texture. The barrel is cold hammer forged, and the slide features front and rear cocking serrations. The P-10 C also features a “deep” beavertail and comes with replaceable backstraps. To top it off, the P-10 C utilizes the same magazines as the hammer-fired P-07, with a standard 15+1 capacity, or 17+1 with an extended base, in 9mm. The P-10 C is also offered in .40 S&W with a 12+1 capacity.

SHOT Show 17 – EOTech

Tuesday, January 17th, 2017

IMG_0024

This can be considered a bit of a ‘non-story’ since there’s not a lot of ‘new’ info, but it’s worth bringing up all the same.

For a bit of background, at last year’s SHOT, EOTech focused exclusively on their line of magnified Vudu scopes, and didn’t feature a single one of their HWS (Holographic Weapon Sights) at their booth. This was likely in response to the US Government’s lawsuit against L3 Communications regarding performance issues experienced by the EOTech HWS optics in temperature extremes and high moisture environments, and more importantly L3’s failure to disclose they had prior knowledge of these performance issues to the US Government.

As a result, L3 settled with the Government for about $26 million, and even went so far as to offer refunds to virtually any customers who purchased an EOTech sight. After that, the issue was more or less dealt with, although it did leave a bad taste in many people’s mouths.

This year, EOTech came out with new branding for the line of HWS optics, including a new logo, and has started reproducing their most popular HWS models: XPS2, 512, 552, etc., in both black and FDE. My immediate question to the rep who talked to me was if there were any changes to the internals of the optics. The answer was somewhat vague, but I was told that the engineers at the company spent the past year or so retooling the optics, with the thermal drift issue being corrected.

So, the TL;DR of the situation is this: EOTech claims they fixed the issues with their HWS that caused them to get sued by the Government, and now they’re reintroducing their products to the market with new branding.

We’ll have to wait and see if they hold up this time.

SHOT Show 17 – SureFire Masterfire

Tuesday, January 17th, 2017

I did not see this one coming. SureFire has introduced a Polymer Holster, designed to be used specifically with pistols equipped with their weapon lights.

The Masterfire Rapid Deploy Holster will fit most pistols because it uses a proprietary cam and lug system to grip the weapon light in two places to offer level 3 retention with primary and secondary lock systems. This means it will also work with suppressor equipped pistols.

You may notice and “On/Off” Switch at the side of the holster. When selected, this functionality will turn the weapon light on when the pistol is drawn.

Above, you can see the thumb button. Once it’s depressed, you rock the grip of the weapon slightly forward as you bring the pistol into action.

The Masterfire is designed to work with these lights. You’re getting a sneak peek at some upcoming Polymer weapon lights from SureFire.
