In the comments in the article about the P320 lower for the B&T APC-9, there was some confusion over the USW and APC-9.
This is a drop in lower receiver for the SIG P320 Fire Control Unit and Slide rather than a full firearm. Like the original USW, it also incorporates a right-side, fixed-length, side-folding stock.
It also requires a P320 magazine release. Additionally, a red dot optic can be mounted, but it has to be on the P320 slide you’ve provided.
Quantico Tactical showed us a product that is in high demand. Manufacturer G-Tech specializes in heated clothing and likewise, their waist mounted hand warmer is powered. It’s been used commercially by the NFL, CFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and major sporting events such as the 2016, 2018 and 2020 Ryder Cup. Now, they’ve updated the materials and paint job to offer a Berry compliant version.
There are many hand warmer out there, but this one has a heated bar running through the middle that you grab onto.
It features three power settings: Low, Medium and High which offers 6, 4 and 2 hours of heat respectively. But you don’t have to have it going all of the time, plus it’s fleece lined, extending the operational use.
Currently offered in Black, Coyote and MultiCam.
