Last year, Solkoa added their military survival kits to their website which allowed authorized customers to easily access their most popular kits.
This SHOT Show, Solkoa has introduced the M-400R Combat Survival Evasion & Recovery Kit. The bag was designed by EGL.
The contents are listed below, but the R suffix in the model number lets you know that it is a restricted kit due to ITAR.
The US Army is currently evaluating several 9mm commercial sub machine systems to satisfy their Sub Compact Weapon requirement for Military Police Personal Security Details which protect dignitaries. Swiss company B&T has two variants of their APC9 under evaluation.
The APC9 is their standard model with collapsible stock and ambidextrous controls.
The APC9-K SD has a short Suppressor, under the handguard. While integral suppression was not a threshold requirement, it was an objective. Additional suppression to become fully ear safe can be threaded into the barrel.
Below are two photos which depict how compact the weapon is with the telescoping stock fully closed.
For more information on this product and other B&T products please visit their website www.bt-ag.ch/eng.

Velcro USA informed us that four new items have been added to the mil-spec.

Next is Class 6, a low profile loop.
Finally, is Class 7, a nylon circular knit.
Designed by Down East Innovation, the 3DSR Tactical Buckle is now available from ITW.
Despite its 300 lbs load capacity, the 3DSR Tactical Buckle will release time after time, even under load. It is designed for side squeeze with a cupped hand, even when wearing gloves. Finally, it’s made from a fragmentation resistant polymer.
Magpul is rolling out their history, displaying artifacts like the original injection mold for their first product, the Magpul. Designed as a durable solution to go on the bottom of rifle magazines, it facilitates its removal from a Pouch.
In honor of their 20th anniversary, they are handing out these gold versions, only available at SHOT Show.
Hill People Gear has introduced a proprietary color for their gear. Elk, as it is known, will be their flagship color in the future. Here you can see a Tarahumara in Elk.
Scot Hill explained that they wanted to stick with an earth tone, but wanted to get away from standard military colors. While they initially favored Khaki, an informal survey found that it wasn’t popular. Instead, they developed their own color.
Eventually, all HPG packs and accessories will be in Elk. Clothing will come in time, depending on fabric availability.
As in past years, we begin our coverage with Crye Precision. Pursuant to their policy of not displaying a product until it is ready for production, there isn’t much new in the Booth. However, G4 clothing, including hot weather variants are front and center.
G4 incorporates new designs and fabrics.
On the load carriage front, Crye unveiled the Airlite Convertible Chest Rig.
It can be worn with its own harness or mounted to the Airlite SPC.
Additionally, they are displaying the new Airlite Configurable Radio Pouch.
The older model only accepted the AN/PRC-148 while the new version accepts the AN/PRC-148, 152 or two M4 magazines.
Here it is mounted to the Airlite Structural Plate Carrier.
