IWA 19 – Blackhawk Rotating Belt Loop

March 8th, 2019

Developed for the Hessian Police in Germany by Blackhawk, this Rotating Belt Loop allows the wearer to drop the holster out of the way of body armor, yet not have to remove the holster and reposition it, when seated in a vehicle.

This is thanks to two rotating joints which move with the pull of a single lever. Below, you can see it mounted to a belt.

The next two images show it in use.

As you can see, the pistol remains accessible, forward of seatbelts.

The Rotating Belt Loop will work with a variety of holster.

IWA 19 – Winter Overboot by 5.45 Design

March 8th, 2019

5.45 Design is a Russian company specializing in soldier systems. Not only do they manufacture clothing, helmets and armor, they also make small arms components. Everything I looked at was made in Russia from brand name materials and not only exhibited high quality, but were also well thought out.

At IWA they concentrated on clothing and helmets, but I wanted to share something that isn’t readily available from other manufacturers; their winter overboot. Insulated with Primaloft, it will take a wearer in a standard boot down to -10 deg C.

The step-in design extends up to the knee.

It features two shock cords at the ankle and one at the top for fit adjustment.

A zipper at the rear makes donning and doffing a simple affair.

On the sole is non slip material.

This year, they are showing the first of the armor and load carriage suite which will be used in conjunction with that uniform.

The plate carrier is based on a previous Lindnerhof boarding vest design.

The gear includes pouches as well as back panels.

You may notice a new buckle design on the vest. Recently patented, it boasts a pull strength of 300 lbs for the 1″ buckle and over 400 lbs for the 4″ buckle.

IWA 19 – Spuhr MP5 Stock Adapter

March 8th, 2019

Originally developed for the G3, this stock adapter was modified for a Police agency to use with the MP5. However, there were concerns about using the SMG’s iron sights so the stick was lowered on the adapter an a quickly removable comb was introduced. With the comb in place, the eye is in line with an optical sight. With it removed the eye is on the iron sight plane.

This will only work on the MP5 and not the G3 due to the G3’s buffer.

IWA 19 – Chiappa CBR-9 Black Rhino

March 8th, 2019

Today, Chiappa is unveiling the CBR-9 Black Rhino which is a finished version of the Tanfoglio SMG.

The CBR9 is a 9mm personal defense weapon which fires from proprietary magazines in 18 or 30 rounds. Controls are ambidextrous. Interestingly, the firing pin is said to come in from the top. While it is shown here with a collapsible stock, I understand they plan to introduce a pistol to the US with a stabilizing brace. I would imagine that the collapsible foregrip won’t be on that version.
