Fort Worth, TX (April 15, 2020) – XS® Sights is pleased to now offer its popular DXT2® Big Dot® Night Sights for the Smith & Wesson® M&P®9 Shield™ EZ® and the HK® P7 M8, P7 M13 and P7 PSP pistols.

Known for exceptional front sight visibility in all lighting conditions, these second-generation Big Dot Night Sights are available in Optic Yellow® and Optic Orange®.   The DXT2 Big Dot sights drive focus to the front sight and downrange threat using a large, high-contrast front and a V-notch rear sight for an unobstructed view of the front sight.

The Big Dot fronts use a patent-pending colored Ember glow dot that absorbs light, causing the sight to glow before it’s dark enough to see the tritium center. The glow dot also stores energy enabling it to glow brightly for many hours.  The V-notch rear sight features a vertical white stripe with a tritium vial at the center, creating a dot-the-“i” sight picture for fast and accurate target acquisition in high-stress situations. 

Optic Yellow is the most visible color in low light.  Optic Orange is the best for bright light settings such as shooting outside in daylight and offers a high-glow intensity that maintains visibility in decreasing light levels. 

Retail Price: $132.00

Salewa – Wildfire Edge Mid Gore-Tex

April 17th, 2020

Salewa’s Wildfire Edge features their Switchfit system which allows you to quickly adapt the fit from hiking to climbing, by offering compression at the toes similar to a climbing shoe. Simply tighten the laces to pull your foot forward into the toebox. Once you’ve finished climbing, return the laces to the original position, for a wider toebox and more hiking comfort.

To further enhance climbing precision, the Wildfire Edge’s insole also incorporates an Edging Plate below the side of the foot and big toe – for additional, directional stiffness – while the rest of the insole remains flexible and responsive to ensure good comfort and a natural rolling motion. The 11 mm drop is also ideal for fast mountain approaches or superior grip when traversing. The lightweight, flexible mid-cut upper is made of high-quality 1.6 mm suede leather, while the Exa Shell provides enhanced torsional stability and works together with the 3F System to wrap the foot for better flexibility, fit and support. Inside, the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining is durably waterproof and breathable, so that precipitation and groundwater are kept out, but perspiration can easily escape from your feet. For greater protection against snow, scree and trail debris, there is a stretch gaiter. You can also customize the inside volume, thanks to the MFF+ footbed.

Underfoot, the Wildfire Edge Mid GORE-TEX® is equipped with the Pomoca Speed MTN Pro sole which uses Pomoca butyl compound rubber for better grip and friction on rock in both dry and wet conditions. The sole has a precision climbing zone at the toe, good edging performance and well-spaced tread blocks for improved traction on soft ground, such as mud and grass.

Tactical Tailor produces reusable PPE Face Masks

April 17th, 2020

After receiving Medical Grade Cotton Fabric, Tactical Tailor’s talented crew began sewing simple, single layer masks that could be delivered to local agencies quickly.

Another fine example of a Defense Contractor stepping up to meet our nation’s need for PPE – Tactical Tailor has been manufacturing Single Layer Cotton Face Masks to help assist local medical professionals in their local City of Lakewood as well as nearby Joint Base Lewis McChord combat the Coronavirus pandemic.

Made one size fits all, the mask covers both the face and nose area, preventing airborne water droplets from being transferred between the wearer and those nearby.

“This simple yet effective facial mask is made from Medical Grade Cotton Fabric and features adjustable elastic shock cordage that goes around the head and neck to prevent fatigue on the wearers ears like other face masks can cause. This also allows the cords to be adjusted easily for length and head shape for optimal comfort.

The single layer Medical Grade Cotton doesn’t require a separate filter, simply use, wash and reuse up to 30 times.

According to the website product page, these masks have three special finishes that aid in contaminant resistance:

  • Antimicrobial – Healthier to use than regular untreated fabric
  • DWR – Prevents droplets to be absorbed into the fabric
  • Soil Release – Easier to wash

While minimalistic in design, these masks are not meant be single-use/disposable. According to TT, they can be home or industrial washed and dried up to 30 times before replacement is recommended.

If you would like to personally purchase on of these Tactical Tailor PPE masks, they retail for $10.99 and are available here.

April 17th, 2020

The Woodlands, Texas – April 15, 2020 – Everest, the shooting sports and outdoor gear industry’s first customer-centric, community-driven, multi-merchant marketplace has officially launched. Everest is a non-discriminatory platform for hunters, shooting sports enthusiasts, anglers, campers and hikers across the country linking consumers and retailers with a robust marketplace where they can interact, participate, contribute, learn, transact and give back.

At time of launch, the Everest marketplace has already secured 500+ merchants offering more than 500,000 outdoor and shooting sports products. It is estimated by the end of 2020, Everest will offer more than 1,000,000+ products from retailers and manufacturers from around the globe. The product inventory and merchant options will certainly continue to grow exponentially over the next 2-3 years as more retailers, distributors and manufacturers join the Everest community. Unlike any other marketplace of its kind in the space, the Everest experience will be consistently enhanced with fresh outdoor content such as how-to videos, product reviews, gear articles and much more.

“At our core, we believe in passing down the great outdoor legacies that were passed to us,” says Bill Voss, CEO/Founder of Everest. “Our mission is to create a one-of-a-kind marketplace where merchants can sell free of the noise of those other sites. We are committed to surpassing all customer expectations by providing unparalleled service, exceptional quality and ultimate value with every interaction.”

Everest has developed opportunities that create real value for their customers. Everest consumers can participate in the direction and growth of the marketplace, including giving back to those who do so much already in the space. Specifically, customers have the option of opening an Everest “Caliber Account”, which features many benefits, including Free Express Shipping, extensive relevant video entertainment, cool swag, and deep discounts on selected items. Importantly, Everest will give back to philanthropic programs and outdoor industry initiatives that reflect the issues important to the Everest community such as conservation, veterans service organizations, cancer support and firearms safety.
