December 10th, 2015Blank Safe Live Round Interrupter
December 10th, 2015
The BlankSafe is a Live Round Interrupter intended to stop live rounds from fully chambering during training scenarios where blank rounds are in use. The BlankSafe LRI was developed by two US Navy SEALs who had personally witnessed multiple incidents where personnel under training conditions mistakenly loaded a live round during training. The LRI seats within the chamber of a rifle, allowing blank rounds to load and fire, however stopping live rounds from fully chambering.
The LRI causes a .27″ interrupt distance within the firing chain of an M4 rifle when a live round is loaded, preventing the weapon from firing.
Below is the White Paper for the BlankSafe LRI:

Team Safariland Rob Leatham Wins 2015 WSSSC And WSRC Title
December 10th, 2015Leatham defends his title at the back-to-back Western States Revolver Championship
ONTARIO, California – Safariland congratulates Team Safariland member Rob Leatham for winning the 2015 Western States Single Stack Championship (WSSSC) title in the Single Stack Championship and defending his 2014 Western States Relvolver Championship (WSRC) title in the Revolver Championship both held in Mesa, Arizona on November 12-15, 2015.
Leatham is beyond thrilled to have won the 2015 WSSSC title. This well-designed and perfect-weather match is one of Leatham’s favorite competitions of the year. “I look forward to the 50-yard standard exercise each year and really appreciate that the match Director, Steve Horsman, and stage designers have kept it well-organized and maintained its tradition.”
The tightly-contested WSSSC title has been won and lost over the years by a mere handful of points. This year, Leatham had just one miss penalty and one no-shoot penalty, landing him at the top of the leader board for the first time since 2007. “Top of the line equipment, from my belt, holster and mag pouches to a finely tuned pistol, has a tremendous amount to do with each and every one of my wins. It’s something that I never have to think twice about, and allows me to focus on my shooting,” stated Leatham.
At the back-to-back Western States Revolver Championship, Leatham, defended his 2014 WSRC title, winning by more than 120 points. Leatham won six of the 12 stages and finished among the top five in the remaining six stages in the match. Leatham has won the WSRC all three years, since its inception in 2013.
“Shooting a revolver match is a challenge and can be hard on the ego. Most of us at the WSRC usually compete in other (semi-auto) divisions. We are used to having more rounds, lighter triggers, much faster times and sub two-second reloads. I have a lot of respect for my fellow competitiors who have worked hard on their revolver skills and shown dramatic improvement. Cross training with this type of event should pay off by making you a better shooter all around,” said Leatham.
Single Stack Championship Equipment:
Safariland 5199 Range Series Holster with USPSA Kit attached to the ELS system.
Back-to-Back Western States Revolver Championship Equipment:

December 9th, 2015
SWANSBORO, North Carolina – Dec. 9, 2015 – High Speed Gear has a history of producing some of the most versatile tactical pouches and platforms in the industry. A proven performer, HSGI continues to show tremendous popularity in tactical markets worldwide. Our lengthy list of top tier operators includes U.S. and allied special forces, state and local tactical units, and hundreds of federal agencies.
In keeping with that standard, High Speed Gear is proud to release its Slick Plate Carrier-Bravo, Modular Plate Carrier-Bravo, Range/Go Bag, Shot Shell Tray V.2 and Gas Mask/Spent Mag Pouch V.2.
The SPC-Bravo and MPC-Bravo are a natural progression of our versatile SPC/MPC line of plate carriers. Both feature the same 500D Cordura plate pockets, interior mesh cushions and HSGI neoprene shoulder pads of the original SPC and MPC, but now feature nylon and Velcro loop PALS on the front and back for further customization and adaptability. The SPC-Bravo also utilizes two-inch Gripper Elastic side straps, uniquely enabling it to be paired with any of the pouches from our belt-mounted line. This makes it the perfect plate carrier for law enforcement needs. The MPC-Bravo features a Sure-Grip Padded Belt for further comfort and stability, as well as our Chest Platform, both of which provide additional attachment points for your customization.
The Range/Go Bag is a 15″ x7.5″ x10″, 1000D Cordura bag with five rows of PALS webbing on either exterior side and four rows of loop PALS on either interior wall. The stiffener sewn into the bottom of the bag offers a self-standing feature, and a removable, padded, internal divider allows for protection and separation of internal items. This bag can be hand carried via the reinforced-webbing handles or shoulder carried via the 1.5″-webbing shoulder strap. Eight D-rings, one at each corner, further enables the bag to be customized for backpack-style carrying.
The Shot Shell Tray V.2 is an updated and improved design to our mountable shotgun shell card. The new HSGI Shot Shell Tray design consists of two Velcro hook-backed, rubberized-nylon web platforms with five shell slots each. The rubberized-webbing loops will hold (10) 12 gauge shotgun shells. A Velcro loop-backed MOLLE panel offers compatibility with PALS platforms. Either tray be attached to any Velcro loop surface or inserted securely into a standard TACO.
The Gas Mask/Spent Mag Pouch V.2 can be used as a gas mask pouch or dump pouch, and can be worn as a drop leg or with a shoulder strap. This pouch holds up to the largest popular tactical gas mask models. Both the drop leg components and shoulder strap are easily removed for full conversion to either carry style.
