You’re going to look at this and say, “What the heck is that?” Sure, it’s a zipper sewn to a strip of hook and strip of loop, but what does it do?
The answer is so simple that you’re going to wonder why no one has done it before. To see the answer, make the jump.
Coyote Brown has in fact made its way to Helium Whisper. The full line of MOLLEminus is now available in this color as well as MultiCam and Wolf.

Safariland has three cool new products. First is the 7000 series Injection Molded ALS holster. This process provides a tighter tolerance for weapon fitment and eliminates the internal suede fabric that many do not like due to the potential for water retention. Additionally, the injection molded nylon is more tolerant to high (300 deg F) and low (-60 deg F) temperatures than Kydex. I am very impressed with how smooth the pistol is stored and presented and the ALS button seems to be more smooth as well in the sample I tried out today. They are already available for Glock 9mm/.40 frames.
Second is an entirely new prototype, Kydex IWB holster. It’s so new that it doesn’t even have a name or model number. Even though it’s thin, it still features active retention. The loop is adjustable for height and cant. Available this Fall.
Finally is the Low Roll Distraction Device Simulator. It is the same weight, size, and shape as the actual, live device but designed specifically for training. It’s going to give you a noise level similar to a .38 round but there is no flash, heat, or over pressure. It comes in a kit consisting of a standard CO2 tank, filler, 4-6 bodies and safety levers and pins as well as box of diaphragm reloads. Since its made from a steel body, you can toss it through windows but you are looking at around $7-10 per shot compared to over $60 for a real device plus the safety considerations.

The Modular Charge System (MCS) has been designed and developed through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Zero Point & NAVEODTECHDIV.
-A suite of equipment condenses the explosive capabilities available from multiple explosives and explosive tools into one device which allows the user to quickly employ multiple charge types.
-This may allow the replacement of several of the pre-packed explosive charges, such as the Mk-23/24, (MK 89/87/45/ MK 1/2/3 ).
-The MCS can be configured to use Conical and Linear Shaped Charges, Hemispherical, Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFPs), Explosively Driven Flyer Plates, Steel Shot EFP / Flyers, Contact Charges, Strip Charges, MCD/LIDD replacement.
-In addition several different types of liners and materials can be used, Copper, Magnesium, Zirconium, Aluminum, Liners; 60/75/90 degree/Flat/EFP & Hemi liners.
-Offers an bbvious EOD application against a variety of ordnance/IED threats.
-Breacher applications include easily configurable satellite and slider charges.
-Safety Certification not required due to user packed explosives.
-Fielding expected later this year.
