January 16th, 2020

HOUSTON – Jan. 15, 2020 – Comp-Tac® released six new products and will highlight them at the 2020 SHOT Show.

Comp-Tac® developed the Blue Duty Holster Series™, a level two holster designed to work with or without a light or red-dot attachment, with direct input from the law enforcement community. The company also launched three additional attachments, the Push-button Locking Mount V2™, Secure Quick Release™ (SQR), and the updated International™ Mount Kit V2, as well as slick versions of the Kydex® Tourniquet TACO® and Kydex® Handcuff TACO®.

“The addition of Comp-Tac® to the HSGI® family allows us to better cater to and design for the law enforcement community with unmatched speed and versatility,” explained Bill Babboni, HSGI® vice president of sales and operations. “This holster is a huge step for us, and we are thrilled to show off at SHOT. All of these products were designed to meet the requests and needs of our customers and will be on display at the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth 11162).”

The Blue Duty Holster Series™ was designed with direct involvement from LAPD and other LE agencies. The holster is a level two with a spring-loaded, thumb-activated bale, that will accommodate firearms equipped with red-dot optical sights and with or without a weapon light. The Blue Duty Holster Series comes in two different designs, an optic covered version for extra protection or an optic uncovered version for smaller footprint. Available in many of the most popular LE handguns, in both right and left hand and a variety of colors.

Blue Duty Holster Series™ MSRP: $145.00

The PLM V2™ is a hinged equipment mount piece that fits belts up to 2.25” in width. The mount opens with the push of a button and can be locked closed for extra security and retention.

PLM V2™ MSRP: $13.00

The Secure Quick Release™ (SQR) is a two-piece mounting system that allows holsters or other equipment to move quickly and easily from one position to the next. The SQR gives users the flexibility to move their holster from chest, to belt to leg rig in a matter of seconds.

Secure Quick Release™ (SQR) MSRP: $26.00 (both pieces)

The International™ Mount Kit V2 has been updated to fit belts up to 2.25”. The belt mount portion of the kit is now multi-fit with an adjustment bar that can be attached at multiple belt widths and later changed if the user desires. The drop-offset piece has been improved for enhanced rigidity and function.

International™ Mount Kit MSRP: $36.00 (full kit)

The Slick Tourniquet TACO® and Slick Handcuff TACO® are additional versions of our popular Kydex® Tourniquet and Kydex® Handcuff TACOs. The slick finish is smoother, with a less aggressive design.

USSOCOM Completes Safety Certification and Purchase of SIG SAUER MG 338 Machine Guns, Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors

January 15th, 2020

Big news from SIG. For the first time in over a century, the US military has safety certified bot a new weapon as well as ammunition at the same time.

They also certified a suppressor at the same time, a first.

These weapons are undergoing a combat evaluation by MARSOC on behalf of USSOCOM and the US Marine Corps.

I recently had an opportunity to fire the SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun. It is extremely controllable and weighs less than an M240.

Here is their press release.

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 13, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to announce the United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM), working closely with SIG SAUER, has completed a safety certification of the new SIG SAUER MG 338 Machine Gun, SIG SAUER 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors. Following this historic official safety certification, SIG SAUER has completed deliveries of multiple systems, comprised of the MG 338 Machine Guns, 338 Norma Mag Ammunition, and Next Generation Suppressors – all researched, designed, engineered, and manufactured by SIG SAUER in the U.S.A.

“The safety certification of the complete SIG SAUER MG 338 system, and delivery of the system to USSOCOM is historically very significant. For the first time in decades the U.S. Military certified a new machine gun, ammunition, and suppressor at the same time, bringing new innovation, portability, and increased lethality to our ground forces, with all components coming from one company,” began Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This certification was achieved following the outstanding performance of the complete MG 338 system through the rigors of the extensive function, durability, and safety tests set forth by USSOCOM.”

The SIG MG 338 bridges the gap between the current machine guns currently in use with the U.S. Military. In comparison to the current M240 (7.62x51cal) machine gun, which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 60 years, the SIG MG 338, is noticeably lighter, weighing only 20 pounds, and provides significantly more range and lethality. In comparison to the M2 (.50cal), which has been in service with the U.S. Military for 110 years, the MG 338 is approximately one-quarter the weight, and in a historic first, offers a man-portable solution with similar effective-range. Making this system even more desirable are the new SIG SAUER Next Generation Suppressors which drastically reduces the impact of harmful toxic fumes and signature, making the operator less vulnerable.

The SIG SAUER MG 338 machine gun is a belt-fed, lightweight medium machine gun weighing under 20lbs., chambered in 338 Norma Mag. The MG 338 features a short-stroke gas piston system and a proprietary recoil mitigation system, with a free-floating, quick-change barrel, ambidextrous controls, switchable feed tray, charging handle that can be alternated to either side depending on operator preference, and as a modern, multi-caliber, modular system the new SIG MG 338 is easily convertible to 7.62x51cal.

“We are incredibly proud of this historical accomplishment and honored to have received this safety certification by USSOCOM for the performance of the complete MG 338 system,” concluded Cohen.
