SHOT Show 17 – Unifire Half Talon Knife by Buck Knives

January 18th, 2017

A couple of years ago, Unifire came up with a machete-style blade after a jungle symposium in Hawaii. The Talon is made by Buck Knives exclusively for Unifire. This year, they slightly modified the original design, making it a bit smaller for more everyday use as a utility fixed blade knife.

The Half Talon seen above the full-size Talon FMC, is a full tang design, made from 5160 spring steel with a 1/4″ backstrap and convex design blade which offers three times the cutting strength over a standard design.

The reverse features an open limb hook like a bolo-style knife. The blade also has a Pry point at the tip and 2″ serrated edge near the grip. The butt can be used as a hammer.

The Talon’s blade is Cerakoted and incorprates a multi-layer Micarta handle. It also has multiple lash points. The sheath has a drain hole and can be worn at the belt or attached to PALS webbing.

SHOT Show 17 – Iron Claw Tactical

January 18th, 2017

Iron Claw Tactical has introduced an AK magwell which offers a couple of features noramlly found on AR weapons. For example, the magwell offers a chute-like guide for magazine insertion. Additionally, the magazine goes straight in rather than seating the front and rocking the mag to the rear. When released, the magazine also falls free.

Also seen here is an extended mag release which allows trigger finger magazine release or standard offhand mag release.

SHOT Show 17 – Full Conceal

January 18th, 2017

Full Conceal has a booth at the SHOT Show NEXT Pavilion, a section intended to showcase brands never before seen at SHOT. Their product is an ultra-concealable modification for full and mid-sized pistols which cuts down the frame to a sub-compact size, roughly equivalent in size to a modern cell phone. The models on display at their booth were based around Glock series pistols, and Polymer80’s 80% Glock frame.

M1

The M1 model cuts down the pistol’s frame to a sub-compact size, either a G17 or G19 with a magazine capable of holding 7+1 9mm rounds. A magazine holder capable of holding a 15-round 9mm magazine is integrated into the frame and is mounted via the accessory rail, giving a wielder a potential 23 rounds of 9mm carry ammo.

M2

IMG_4468

The M2 model is a bit more customized when compared to the M1 model. Rather than have a 7-round magazine loaded into the gun, and a full-size backup mag, it utilizes a full-size magazine with a rail-mounted baseplate that stores into the pistol grip/magwell via a cutout on the grip. The trigger is spring loaded and folds upward into the frame when the magazine is stowed. As you can see below, this configuration does remove the trigger guard.

Full Conceal is currently taking pre-orders for either model, which can be viewed at the link below.

Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit Now!

January 18th, 2017

The Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit Now!TM, also known as the Micro TKNTM, is the smallest version of the Trauma Kit Now!TM available on the market. This pack, which is available for purchase filled or unfilled, is designed to hold essential lifesaving gear in a small easy-to-carry pack that takes up minimal space. The supplies inside of the Filled Micro TKNTM include:

-Quick clot combat gauze
-HyFin vent chest seal (2 Seals included)
-Cleer medical trauma bandage 4” flat pack
-Decompression needle
-Six 2in. x 9in. Frog Tape
-Size 28 Nasopharyngeal Airway
-One pair of heavy-duty medical gloves in tan

The Micro TKNTM is constructed to be worn horizontally and is less bulky than the typical pouch, which makes it ideal for everyday carry by law enforcement professionals, low-profile mission sets and prepared civilians. The inner carrier can be easily deployed with one finger or one hand from either the left or right side by pulling the BLIP featured
pull-tabs.

“Whether downrange, in the hunting field, or in everyday life – Blue Force Gear believes in a mindset of readiness,” said Tom Kaleta, Director of Marketing. “Hunters carry seemingly every device, scent cover, and tool imaginable, but few I’ve ever encountered carry a trauma kit that contains more than a few bandages. This kit takes up very little room, weighs virtually nothing and contains the tools to treat the three most common battlefield injuries. Why would every hunter or shooter not carry a Micro TKNä?”

The Micro TKNTM has two main components: the outer MOLLE or belt-mounted pouch using the Ten-Speed technology; and a removable insert to keep medical supplies organized.

Find technical specs and see a demonstration of Blue Force Gear’s new Micro Trauma Kit Now!TM and other innovative products in booth 31209 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas from Jan. 17–20.

-Rapid Repair Technology™ – now extended to socks, in addition to neck and wrist seals, enables field repair in less than an hour

Sentinel Series Lightweight Special Operations Dry Suit. Weighing roughly 4 lbs, this is the lightest and most breathable surface operations dry suit on the market.

The Sentinel Series Lightweight Special Operations Dry Suit is ideal for users engaged in maritime special operations requiring splash and/or immersed hypothermia protection without hindering primary mission objectives.

Sentinel Series USCG Lightweight Boat Crew Dry Suit. Now with Rapid Repair Technology extended to the dry suits’ socks, the lifecycle of this dry suit has been prolonged and the overall cost of ownership reduced. Both waterproof and breathable, the USCG Lightweight Boat Crew Dry Suit is designed for constant wear for those not intending to the enter the water though still requiring hypothermia protection in the event of accidental immersion.

EP Ocean Racing Collection. Also on display at the 2017 SHOT show is the brand new EP Ocean Racing Collection, worn by the crew aboard the super-yacht Comanche on her record-setting journeys, and recently featured in Red Bull’s Flying on Water mission. Designed for the most elite and extreme ocean racers, the EP Ocean Racing Collection leverages technology perfected and tested in the Mustang Survival military and tactical products. In turn, the collection has also provided field experience that has been integrated into the development process for current and future military products.
