FirstSpear Friday Focus – OEM Partner Series – Triad Tactical Inc.

Friday, January 8th, 2016

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re continuing the OEM Partner Series by taking a look at Triad Tactical Inc. Triad Tactical Inc was started in 2002 by Steve Sheldon. “I was on a full-time SWAT team in the Kansas City area and was spending a fortune on gear. Starting Triad was a way to save myself some money on equipment, and I thought it might be possible to turn it into a “legitimate” business. After 20 years, I left the department during the summer of 2015 and now run Triad full time.”

Why did you choose American Made?

Failed zippers on imported products with a one year warranty sealed the deal for us to have products made in the USA. The products do cost more, but the materials and sewing is much better. Our company motto is “Buy Once, Cry Once.” This means spend a little more up front on quality products so they will be durable and high quality.

Why did Triad choose FirstSpear manufacturing?

I had worked with 4-5 smaller companies over the years and always had lead time and capacity issues with them. I had worked with several of the FS staff while they were at Eagle so when FirstSpear started it was an easy switch to them.

Take a look at three of the products that FirstSpear manufactures for Triad Tactical.

Lancer Introduces the L12 Advanced Warfighter MagazineNew Hybrid Magazine Developed for .510 Beck

Thursday, January 7th, 2016

Quakertown, PA – January 7, 2016 – Lancer Systems LP, a leading advanced weapons and components engineering company, today announced its new L12 Advanced Warfighter Magazine (AWM), a single stack hybrid magazine engineered for the new .510 Beck cartridge developed by Beck Defense. The L12AWM will be available in both a five round and seven round option. The magazine will debut at SHOT Show(r) 2016 in Lancer’s booth, #7503.

Like all Lancer hybrid magazines, the L12AWM features a lightweight, high strength polymer magazine body with hardened steel feed lips. It is this hybrid design that makes Lancer’s magazines the most reliable magazines in the industry.

The L12AWM is capable of reliably feeding a wide range of projectile weights, from a 327 grain controlled chaos round, to a 680 grain solid brass subsonic round, with future plans to increase projectile weights. The magazine was engineered to handle the relatively short .510 Beck patented brass case loaded with a high grain projectile, giving the 50 caliber round maximum stopping power within a mid-size (.308) AR platform. Further details on the .510 Beck cartridge to be announced by Beck Defense at SHOT Show 2016.

“The L12AWM is the latest evolution in our magazine line, building off of the engineering and design that went into the L5AWM, L7AWM and SIG Sauer(r) MPX hybrid magazines,” explained Kas McManus, business area manager of advanced weapons & components at Lancer. “We’re proud to partner with Beck Defense on this project and introduce a hybrid magazine for the .510 Beck cartridge that is unlike anything else out there.”

The L12AWM will be available third quarter 2016.

Monday, January 4th, 2016

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – December 30, 2015 – SilencerCo, the leading firearm silencer manufacturer, announced the official launch of its two newest products: the Hybrid and the Omega 9K.

The Hybrid is a silencer for nearly any platform. Compatible with pistol calibers from 9mm to .45 ACP, rifle calibers from 5.56mm to .45-70 GOV and .458 SOCOM, and many in between, the Hybrid is both full auto and magnum-rated and can be used on pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.

Sound results have come back in the low-120 dB’s on .300 BLK and remain hearing safe with .45–70 GOV. The Hybrid is rated down to 16″ barrels for .45–70 GOV and .458 SOCOM and down to 18″ barrels for all magnum calibers up to .338 Lapua Magnum. A quick-reference poster of all Hybrid accessories is available on the Hybrid product page at www.silencerco.com.

The Omega 9K, like the full-size Omega from which it draws its name, is an exceptionally versatile suppressor and is the smallest, lightest, and quietest silencer of its kind in the world at just under 5″. Full auto rated and usable with pistols, .300 BLK rifles, and submachine guns, the Omega 9K offers extreme durability in an ultra-compact package.

With an overall length of 4.7” and weighing only 8.8 oz., the Omega 9K gives big results in a tiny footprint.

Walther’s Slim 9mm Meets Comfort With The New PPS M2

Monday, January 4th, 2016

(FORT SMITH, Ark.) – New to the Walther line of personal protection pistols is the PPS M2, an innovative new 9mm pistol that sets the bar for ergonomics and comfort for concealed carry. The new PPS M2 is engineered for the concealed carry shooter looking for a slim 9mm that provides superior concealability while maintaining comfort and accuracy. The new PPS M2 is built to carry, measuring in at 1 inch wide, low profile and smooth features. This coupled with a new push button style magazine release for easy operation, highlights some of the changes from the Classic PPS to the new M2.

The new PPS M2 is equipped with a smooth, light 6.1 lb trigger pull, which improves control and accuracy. The PPS M2 can be the perfect fit for every shooter with Carl Walther signature ergonomics, that have become a staple in 21st Century Walther Arms. The PPS M2 is also available in an LE edition with phosphoric sights.

Adam Blalock, Walther Arms CEO stated, “I have been really excited about the PPS M2 since the beginning of its development. The PPS Classic has been my everyday carry gun for years. It’s a great gun and the idea of improving on the original was challenging … but our team has done it. The engineering enhancements and modifications that create the new M2 truly elevate this pistol into a class of its own.”

Adding the PPS M2 to the Walther handgun line is a prime example of Walther’s dedication to continued innovation and customer focus in the fast growing personal protection industry. The PPS M2 will be available in retail stores in early 2016. It will also be available to test at Industry Day at the Range at SHOT Show and viewing on the showroom floor during the show in Las Vegas, NV January 18th – 22nd. For more information on the PPS M2, visit www.waltherarms.com/builttocarry.
