SOTECH Tactical Carriage Gear Lands in Berlin – TACWRK of Germany

October 14th, 2016


SOTECH is proud to announce the landing of SOTECH tactical gear with our new stocking dealer, TACWRK of Germany. Their showroom and warehouse are located in Schöneweide, Berlin. We are very selective about our stocking dealers, particularly because of our long relationship with German Special Operations. Our Go Bags became a staple in Europe because of their early selection by German SOF, as did our medical systems. We wanted a representative who is reputable, reliable and knowledgeable. TACWRK’s team in Berlin consists of former soldiers with experience from Afghanistan – providing background-knowledge to master inquiries, but also showing a commitment to employ veterans – a subject dear to SOTECH’s principals. We were also impressed with TACWRK’s commitment to German military and police associations with donations and charity-sales.

TACWRK, established in 2011, strives to provide technologically high-end and advanced gear for professionals and gear aficionados. They support military, law enforcement, security agencies, and fire departments, in the GSA-countries: Germany, Switzerland Austria, and throughout Europe.
When ask “Why did you choose to carry SOTech?” they replied “S.O. Tech has introduced gear which quickly turned into milestones and industry standard. This is exactly the kind of innovation TACWRK wants to push and present to those whose work depends on it.”

TACWRK now carries the Go Bag, SERE Pack, 3-Day-Assault Pack, Viper Flat IFAK and of course the Battle Bear! Contact TACWRK for special orders of other SOTECH products and custom designs.

Be on the lookout for “the Black Sunday” the first tactical sales event of it’s kind, at least in Europe – the BlackSunday: www.facebook.com/160919563963583/photos

Magpul – MOE SL AK & MOE-K2 AK Grips Now Shipping

October 13th, 2016

MOE SL AK Grip – AK47/AK74

The MOE SL AK Grip (MOE Slim Line) is a drop-in upgrade for AK47/AK74 pistol grips with a more vertical angle optimized for these shorter LOP weapons that bring the primary hand in closer to the shooter’s body.

With an aggressive TSP texture for positive weapon control along with modern ergonomics, the MOE SL AK Grip provides a slightly smaller size and slimline feel compared to our full size grips.

-Fits both milled and stamped receivers, including those with grip reinforcement plates
-More vertical grip angle than typical Kalashnikov designs

Similar to the MOE SL, the MOE-K2 AK Grip is a drop-in upgrade for AK47/AK74 platforms that offers a more vertical grip angle, but in a full-size grip design. The steeper vertical grip angle improves comfort and control on these shorter LOP rifles that bring the primary hand in closer to the shooter’s body.

With an aggressive TSP texture for positive weapon control, compatibility with optional Storage Cores for gear stowage, and a unique backstrap design for proper trigger finger placement, the K2 brings modern styling and ergonomics to the AK platform.

The Army’s Architects Visit Polaris Product Development Center

October 13th, 2016

MINNEAPOLIS (October 13, 2016) — General David Perkins, the commanding general of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and members of his staff visited Polaris on Wednesday. Gen. Perkins received product and technology demonstrations at the company’s state-of-the-art engineering and product development center in Wyoming, Minn. The trip is part of the TRADOC commander’s broad benchmarking initiative focused on innovative businesses to identify and support best practices necessary to drive evolution of Army procurement, operations, and engagement.

“As the architect of the Army, TRADOC is tasked with envisioning the future environment so as to identify capability gaps, analyze potential solutions and then determine requirements,” said Gen. Perkins. “Our stop at Polaris is one of many that will help us gain better insight into the rapid technology development and agile supportability paradigms in commercial enterprise, including focused innovation and insertion into applications relevant for the next generation of warfare.”

“At AUSA last week, we showcased our family of ultralight, off-road military vehicles – the best of what’s available today in enhanced tactical mobility – and the tremendous advantage in tactical and strategic mobility they bring to today’s military operations,” said John Olson, PhD, vice president and general manager of Polaris Defense. “Yesterday, we were given the opportunity to fast-forward and show Gen. Perkins and his staff a glimpse at how we leverage our 60 years of off-road vehicle experience to rapidly and affordability develop, test, and deliver the technology and vehicles needed to meet – at the speed of need – the evolving, challenging demands of the nation’s warfighters in the years and decades to come.”

The Polaris Product Development Center opened in Wyoming, Minn., in April 2005. In addition to military technology and advanced vehicle development, the approximately 300,000 square foot facility houses research and development of Victory Motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), RANGER utility vehicles, and Polaris Engines. Capabilities include world-class prototype fabrication and assembly capabilities, laboratories for structural testing, electrical development, materials engineering, and powertrain assembly and dynamometer testing. It also was one of the first facilities to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, created by the United States Green Building Council.

Polaris Defense vehicles deliver a coveted combination of deployability, versatility and off-road mobility, forged from more than 60 years of off-road vehicle experience that is simply unmatched. Vehicles include the rugged Sportsman MV 850, the modular and nimble MRZR, and the flagship DAGOR, which expands upon the range, payload and off-road mobility of any previous tactical light off-road vehicle. The enhanced tactical mobility provided by Polaris Defense gives an advantage back to dismounted troops, allowing formations to move faster, carry more and significantly reduce combat fatigue. Polaris service and support is scalable worldwide and includes military vehicle training, service and maintenance. It also can be supplemented internationally through the Polaris network of distributors, building on the global strength of the Polaris commercial enterprise. And because Polaris vehicles are in service throughout the world, there is a high degree of interoperability and commonality among U.S. and allied forces.

GRIPsher – The Formidable Compact Multi-Tool On Kickstarter

October 13th, 2016

gripsher

The GRIPsher is a compact multitool “dreamt up by an Army Veteran, refined by an MIT engineer, and brought to life with common sense”. The creators of GRIPsher have designed the tool with a variety of functions, including, but not limited to:

  • Pliers
  • Wire Cutters
  • Phillips head and flat head drivers
  • Material thickness gauge
  • Adjustable hex bolt wrench
  • Heavy duty knife

    • Perhaps the most interesting feature of the GRIPsher is the glow-in-the-dark jaws on the bottom of the tool. Dubbed the HEXGRIP system, the jaws serve as a fully adjustable way to secure hex nuts, bolts, and bits.

    black

    Additionally, the GRIPsher team is hosting a special program called Tools For Troops. For every GRIPsher black model supported, a version of the GRIPsher with black HEXGRIP jaws will be donated to a military service member; this is the only way to get a GRIPsher with black jaws.
