TangoDown Inc Celebrates 16 Years

August 1st, 2018

Sixteen years ago, TangoDown™ Inc. began the journey in the defense industry by introducing the BG-16 Battlegrip™. That BG-16 started the wave of what TangoDown™ would become.

Over the years many rifle accessories have been born to join the BG-16, including items for the FN SCAR™ Rifles. Along the way, TangoDown™ evolved to incorporate Glock™ parts into the product lineup. This created the relationship with Larry Vickers to create the Vickers Tactical™ line. The success of this line has been remarkable.

We have seen many of our products (rifle & handgun) make it into the hands of America’s finest: our military service members and our first responders. Our goal is to always produce gear that will keep them safe while they are in harm’s way. We salute you, and we thank you for your service!

We are incredibly grateful to all of our customers who have been the driving force behind the success of TangoDown™! To our industry partners, it is a pleasure to work with all of you!

To celebrate our Sweet Sixteen and to thank those who have made TangoDown™ successful, we want to share some discounts our customers can enjoy from August 1st through August 12th (make sure to have orders placed by 11:59pm (PST) on the 12th). No offer codes are needed.

Again, our sincerest thank you to each of you!

Cheers to Sixteen Years ….and the excitement of many more years and new products to follow!

Widget Wednesday: Aeryon SkyRanger R60 sUAS Field-Charging Solutions

August 1st, 2018

“Drones” continue to be a hot topic and an area of ever growing adoption by military and law enforcement organizations. However, keeping UAV / UAS batteries charged and flying during demanding operational tempos and/or in remote locations presents significant challenges. UAS operators needed a way to be able to take advantage of any accessible source of power; such as solar cells, car batteries, vehicle power outlets, or single-use batteries.

The SkyRanger R60 from Aeryon Defense is the standard-setting Group 1 VTOL sUAS for real-time, secure, aerial intelligence across a wide range of mission-critical applications for professional end-users. R60s are currently deployed with over 20 militaries worldwide, and in use with public safety and industrial operators in over 30 countries.

Working closely with Aeryon, we developed lightweight, high-performing adapters that enable an operator to rapidly charge SkyRanger R60 batteries in the field using the SPM-622 (Squad Power Manager), or ABC-812 (Adaptive Battery Charger). And thanks to our bi-directional, plug-and-play technology, R60 batteries can also be used as a rechargeable power source for other electronic equipment – helping to improve energy flexibility while also reducing a unit’s battery burden.

For further information about our UAV and UGV field charging solutions, visit www.PTXnomad.com or contact the Team.Room@Protonex.com.

Brigantes Presents – High Angle Solutions – Deuter Alpine Guide 35+ MultiCam

August 1st, 2018

Following two years of hard work Deuter Alpine Guide 35 in Multicam is now available. Fresh into the warehouse this classic mountain rucksack has been updated and modified to suit the needs of operators in the mountain environment.

Using the Deuter Alpine, X-Frame back system the pack is one of the most stable and comfortable packs to carry. The lid is extendable to accommodate expanded loads and allow for ropes or other pieces of hardwear. In order to maximise functionality it has a long side opening zip, which allows you to access the full body of the pack without disturbing the load under the lid or having to completely empty the pack.

The hip belt is removable and uses the Vari-Flex system, which enables it to move with you when moving thereby improving comfort and performance. A double pull waist belt gives secure adjustment and the sternum strap helps the load to remain in the right place on your shoulders.

The pack comes with a removeable sit mat and is compatible with hydration bladders up to 3 Litres. The sides of the pack provide ski loops and the front of the pack has points for two ice axes.

Overall this is the pack for mountain operations. It has long been the go to pack for people working in the mountains and is the only option for the military mountaineer.

Sneak Peek – Possible US Army SCW Prototype from Maxim Defense
August 1st, 2018

Over the weekend we told you that the US Army had issued a Prototype Opportunity Notice, reviving their requirement for a 9mm Sub Compact Weapon for its Personal Security Detachments which protect High Risk commanders and key personnel in the US and overseas.

we had checked outMaxim Defense’s new SCW stock during TRIGGRCON and asked them if they were going to participate in this PON. They told us they had already taken a look at the requirement and combining their existing Sub Compact Weapon Stock (SCW) with a Maxim 9mm bolt assembly, which shaves 4 inches off the buffer length, they were able to make it just under the 15″ overall length stipulated in the PON. The prototype seen here is outfitted with a Krink-style muzzle device and uses Glock magazines.

Not just enough to build it, they took the prototype out back, firing a 2 inch group at 35 meters from its 5.5 inch barrel, well within the accuracy desired by the Army.

July 31st, 2018

Our friends at UF Pro produced another video in their Knife vs Handgun series. For ‘Reality Check’, they’re looking at the necessary distance one needs to draw his handgun in case of a knife attack.

They took two spec-ops veterans, a dummy knife and an FX handgun. They related that making this video resulted in a lot of bruises, especially for the knife attacker.
