Milipol 17 – NFM Group Introduces Hellhound Grey

November 28th, 2017

Hellhound Grey has joined Coyote Brown, Raptor Green, Raven Black and MultiCam as color choices for NFM products.

It’s great to see the clothing side catch up with the armor which was first to adopt Hellhound Grey. Here, you can see a THOR carrier along with GARM combat clothing, all in the same color. The gloves are Mechanix Wear in Wolf Grey which also gives you an idea of how Hellhound Grey will blend with Urban Wolf Grey. These Grey hues have become very popular in Europe, particularly with LE CT organizations.

Milipol 17 – Helikon-Tex Previews Boots

November 28th, 2017

Helikon-Tex displayed prototypes of a possible expansion into footwear. It’s a natural progression as they add more and more categories to their line. The current models are more focused on the LE amd security sectors than military customers, but if they do get into footwear, I’d expect them to add other models as well.

I’ve been impressed with the amount of new products coming out of Helikon-Tek these past few years. What do you think?

CMC Barrels

November 27th, 2017

CMC’s Match Precision Barrels are the ultimate upgrade drop in barrels for Gen 3 & 4 Glock® 17,19 and 34 Pistols. Our Match Grade barrels are precision machined from Certified, DFARS compliant; pre hardened 416R premium grade stainless steel, to extremely tight tolerances and exacting details.

416R stainless steel is recognized for its corrosion resistance, machinability and high tensile strength; it is the industry standard for premium Match Grade barrel manufacturing.

CMC’s propriety In house machining, production and Quality control inspection process’s allow us to attain an ultra-precise barrel with enhanced slide fit & lock up for improved accuracy.

Our barrels are 6 groove, cut rifled, 1:10 Twist Right Hand, fully QC inspected, double honed (rough and finish) to produce the smoothest bore possible, with a Max Roughness Average (RA) of 12. Finished bore dimensions are held to +/- 0.0005″ tolerance from nominal groove and bore dimensions but the dimensions are uniform to within 0.0002 for maximum consistency, accuracy and quality.

SAAMI, Match Grade specification chambers, precision cut and finished to a maximum Roughness Average (RA) of 16.
The pre hardened 416R stainless steel is stress relieved to an exacting recipe after rifling and final hardness is 38-42 Rockwell C before final barrel profile machining is completed.

Barrels are bead blasted to create a satin finish prior to plating and are available in 3 finish options.
-Stainless , uniform Satin Blast Finish with ultra- low friction hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) Bore & Chamber
-Bronze TiCN, with ultra low friction hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) Bore & Chamber
-Black DLC, with ultra low friction hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) Bore & Chamber

User friendly, our barrels are drop in; they do not require gunsmith assembly.

These are an affordable, ultra accurate, durable upgrade to your existing Glock® 17,19 or 34 factory barrel.

Barrels are available with and without suppressor threads in 1/2-28 TPI RH

CZ-USA Offers Sneak Peek At S2 Ti Reflex Suppressor

November 27th, 2017

With increasing use of Scorpions by Law Enforcement, CZ-USA is introducing suppressed variants.

Teaming up with the airflow specialists at Aerocharger, they developed their own suppressor which offers the performance of larger, bulkier cans but in a much lighter, shorter package.

A fully-welded titanium can, the S2 Ti Reflex is designed to fit under an HB Industries handguard, allowing it to have a 2” reflex blast chamber and giving it the volume of much larger cans while only protruding from the muzzle 5.83 inches. Weighing in at just 9.6 ounces, it spits out 147 grain defensive loads at well under 130 dB.

Milipol 17 – SABER ReadiMask

November 27th, 2017

One of the most remarkable products I saw at last week’s Milipol security exhibition in Paris was SABER’s new ReadiMask. I was literally walking amongst the aisles and I saw SABER’s booth, a brand well known for their pepper spray and saw this mask on a manakin. I immediately stopped and snapped a photo.

Later, I was able to ask them about the full face mask and found out it is called the ReadiMask Adhesive Sealing Particle Respirator. There are two things that stuck out to me. First, the ReadiMask features integrated, fog resistant eye protection. Second, is the hypoallergenic surgical grade adhesive around the entire edge of the mask

While the ReadiMask is currently undergoing NIOSH certification. It’s closest equivalent is the N95 particulate filter mask. However, few if any, N95 masks seal directly to the face. In fact, the test procedure for particulate masks find them sandwiched between two frames and then placed over the blower which puts particulates under pressure. An N95 mask certification means that it is not oil resistant, but filters 95% of particles that are at least 0.3 microns in diameter. But if that mask doesn’t completely seal to the face when used for real, there will be cracks around the edges allowing some material to enter the mask. Additionally, N95 masks don’t incorporate eye protection.

Even without the certification complete, SABER claims ReadiMask, “Substantially reduces exposure to pepper spray, bacteria, spores similar to anthrax, bloodborne pathogens, viruses, smoke particulates, hazardous particulates, pollution, spit & bodily fluids, mold, asbestos, dust, debris etc.”

ReadiMask comes flat packed and can be included in any LEO or first responder’s PPE for in extremis use.

Purchase of ReadiMask is restricted to professional users.

MIPS F2 – A New Impact Liner For Ballistic Helmets

November 27th, 2017

SWEDISH COMPANY MIPS CONTINUES TO EXPAND THEIR PLATFORM, BRINGING ROTATIONAL FORCE-DAMPENING TECHNOLOGY TO HARD SHELL HELMETS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE ARMED FORCES..

MIPS, the premier brain safety technology company, has developed a new product designed especially for the ballistic helmets used by law enforcement and military personnel, as well as those in snow sports. Like all MIPS products, the core technology addresses the rotational forces that are linked to brain injuries, with the decades of research and study that went into the flagship MIPS system. This new product design, however, is refined to specifically meet the safety needs within the law enforcement and armed forces community.

The MIPS:F2 system, is built on the standard MIPS low-friction layer that provides the crucial 10-15 millimeters of omnidirectional movement in the three to ten milliseconds following an impact. Unlike the MIPS system seen to date in active sports helmets, the low-friction layer in the MIPS:F2 is situated between the outer shell of the helmet and the foam liner on the interior. A series of Flexible Retention Organisms (elastomers) and nylon brackets that are molded into the helmet allow the foam liner to move independent of the low-friction layer and the outer shell, resulting in at least a 10% reduction in the damaging rotational motion resulting from oblique impacts.

“MIPS now has a long history helping to improve brain safety and risk of injury in the cycling and snow sports communities,” says Johan Thiel, CEO of MIPS. “With the MIPS:F2 system, we can not only expand that technology into more sports helmet models, but also we can help keep safe those who put their lives on the line to protect our communities every day.” The first helmet launched within LEAF will be SAFE4U Security of Sweden AB, a ballistic helmet model S4U SOG MIPS System. SAFE4U is a Swedish company driven by a constant desire for innovation. Development and design of protective body armour is their core business. This is done with high technology, experience, knowledge and innovation. Models featuring the MIPS:F2 will come to market in Spring of 2018.

The MIPS: F2 system is mounted between the EPP foam liner and exterior shell and provides the ability for the EPP liner to slide relative to the outer shell of the helmet. This 10 – 15 mm of relative motion is referred to as the MIPS Movement and provides added protection against rotational motion to the brain caused by angled impacts to the head.
