Coming soon from Mystery Ranch is an update to the Gunfighter Armor Attach pack.
Made from 330D Cordura, they’ve added a removable compression panel, expanded primary access to bag and made the shoulder straps stowable. Additionally, it comes with zip-on PALS adapters.
Silymx has developed a new version of their CLARUS Push to Talk called the CLARUS MSG with the MSG standing for messaging.
In tunnels the IDF has faced a threat from voice comms drawing fire. Consequently, they developed a PTT with pre-recorded voice messages which can be heard through the radio and headset but are otherwise inaudible.
The front and center button is for the messaging function with four preset messages available. Two clicks through five clicks select each message. While it comes with pre-recorded messages in a calm, female voice, the user can add their own messages.
The CLARUS headset features an internal mic as well as external mics (switchable), and the system conducts a leakage test when it is first turned on.
Be sure to schedule some time to visit with the companies in the SOF Select Pavilion at the Westin, across the bridge during next week’s SOF Week in Tampa, Florida.
Swing by SOF Select to see the latest gear from these great vendors. During SOF Week, May 6-8 at the Westin Tampa Waterside.
Mechanic Wear showed us their TAA Precision Pro High-Dexterity Grip Glove – Covert. It’s a mouthful but will all make sense as we walk through the features, it will all sense.
TAA means they are trade act compliant; in this case manufactured in Laos. While not Berry compliant, TAA compliance means you can still use certain government procurement methods to buy them like Government Purchase Card and GSA. Precision Pro is the model and these are cut for dexterity with hourglass finger profiles.
The Grip Glove is best explained with the photo above which shows Mechanix Wear’s Padlock Silicone Grip technology. The gloves are also touch screen compatible. Finally, the color is Covert which is a fancy term for Black.
Offered in XSmall – XXLarge.

The new FLOW 556K L is a new variant of the popular FLOW 556K with a locking collar. In fact, the L or Lima designation is for Locking Collar, just like the 556 is for the caliber, K is for short or Kurz and FLOW is a Flow-Through design.
Here, you can see it next to a standard 556K Flow which is DMLS printed in 17-4 Stainless. Designed for toxic fume exposure mitigation, it also offers flash reduction, sound reduction, recoil reduction, accuracy, and repeatability by its unique Flow-Through helical coil and core deflector design. It is full-auto rated and compatible on 5.56, 17 HMR, and 5.7 platforms.
The Lima model of this 3D printed suppressor is currently only available through the Mission Team for authorized customers who are looking for the extra confidence of a locking collar.

Finally, there is a sleeve for tools.
