SIG SAUER - Never Settle

101 Years of Honoring the ANZAC

April 25th, 2016

Having served with units from both Australia and New Zealand during my military service, they often come to mind, and on ANZAC Day, in particular. You see, every April 25th some of our closest allies; Australia and New Zealand, commemorate the service and sacrifice of their military. The day begins with a dawn service and there are several other events throughout the day including parades.

It’s bigger than Veteran’s Day is here, with more participation. It’s what Veteran’s Day was probably like after the War to End All Wars and ANZAC does have its roots in the memory of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops who served the empire in World War One.

While April 25th might seem an odd date, it is actually the anniversary of the first major battle fought by ANZAC forces; the battle of Gallipoli in what is now Turkey.

Please join us in honoring not only their fallen, but also the fact that they are on our team. 101 years ago or today, they’ve been on the side of right.

Honoring Those With The Guts To Try

Today, We Remember The Men We Lost During Operation Eagle Claw

Today marks the anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw. In the early morning hours of 25 April, 1980 President Carter announced to a stunned world that the United States had undertaken an ambitious raid into Iran to liberate 52 American hostages held illegally by tye Iranian Republican Guard, at our Embassy in Tehran. Unfortunately, Operation Eagle Claw was unsuccessful, and we lost eight American servicemen in a horrible aircraft ground collision.

However, their sacrifice was not in vain. The hostages were eventually returned and the accident was the watershed event that created, over the next several decades, the world’s preeminent Special Operations capability; USSOCOM and its components. Some hard Americans were on that raid; legends to those who would follow.  We wouldn’t be where are today with the determination of that fledgling task force. Join me in remembering those that paved the way.

Hard Point Equipment Announces The Completion Of Their Restructuring Process

April 23rd, 2016

DSC_6006

Hard Point Equipment is pleased to announce the completion of their restructuring process. Due to the many increasingly difficult challenges associated with effective outsource manufacturing, Hard Point Equipment has at last put forth the effort and necessary capital investment to bring the majority of our production in-house now. This fundamental change means that in the future we will be able to more reliably supply our customers what they need, when they need it, and at a quality level that consistently upholds our ever-stringent standards.

In order to accommodate the added capabilities, however, our product line will be changing in some significant ways as well. The production focus will be shifted away from tactical nylon to high-end shooting enhancements and specialty cutlery, though we will continue producing a few of our core soft goods.

In addition to these, we will also be embarking on some exciting new joint ventures with several well-respected strategic partners.

The first of these is a new ultra-concealable, hard armor system, the “300,” made to our specifications by CATI Armor that utilizes our innovative, patented “carrier-free”, plate harness system. As thin as typical soft armor, but capable of defeating rifle-grade threats, this revolutionary product is likely to forever change the way body armor is worn by the covert operator.

We are exited for what the future holds and look forward to providing you even better products and service than we have in the past!
