November 24th, 2015Milipol – Gallet Accessory Rail Combat Helmet
November 24th, 2015I took a few shots of the Gallet Accessory Rail Combat Helmet originally released at Milipol 2013. The designations are official designations of this line of helmets are the Gallet TC 800 series and Gallet TC 500 series. Some readers may not know this but the MICH was originally a Gallet design and the French company was purchased by MSA.
The rails feature proprietary 360° rotating buckles on the front and lower back (three slots on each rail). Additionally, the removable “V” shaped, ratchet-style shroud clamps under the front brim of the shell, and bolts unto each of the upper portions of the side rails in the back. On top of the actual NVG interface (USGI/Wilcox compatible), between the two “V” branches, they’ve added bungee ties that go all the way to the top, in order to secure strobes and other non-railed accessories.
In these photos you can see how the oxygen mask attaches to the rail. The Minie Night Vision Device is from Thales Angenieux.
Specifically, the helmet models are 800/801/802 (first digit is shell thickness in millimeters, last is cut style), the fourth model released is the 501 (same naming convention applies). The 501 is the thinnest Gallet helmet available that still retains a frag rating. Interestingly, there is only one shell size and different head sizes are accommodated via pads.
The line of ARCH is offered in NATO Green, Black, Tan.

Light The Night With Crimson Trace
November 23rd, 2015
(Wilsonville, OR)— In case you have not noticed lately, nights have become very long. It’s dark when you leave for work and very dark when you return home. In darkness is often where danger lurks, so be prepared to survive. Light the night.
Anyone can light up the night with various Crimson Trace products. For more than two decades, the Wilsonville, Oregon based manufacturer of laser sights and firearm lighting systems has been helping gun owners everywhere take control of the darkness. Numerous Crimson Trace innovations help light the nights.
The leader of the lights could be Crimson Trace’s Rail Master Pro products. These laser sights (red or green laser diodes) and bright light combos are packed with features, including: Instant Activation, Tap-on/Tap-off, a battery saving 5 minute auto shut off sensor if inactive, and a powerful 100-Lumen LED white light. Modes of operation are: laser and light, laser only, light only and laser with strobe light. Rail Master Pros easily and quickly attach onto pistols, rifles and shotguns with M-1913 Picatinny and Weaver-type accessory rails. More details on the CMR-205 (red) and CMR-204 (green) Rail Master Pros are at www.crimsontrace.com.
Crimson Trace also offers the Rail Master as a lighting option. The CMR-202 is a 100-Lumen LED light unit that can be set to momentary, strobe and constant-on lighting. This unit is also available with a C-Tan exterior coating. Like all Rail Master products, the units can attach to a wide assortment of rails on long guns and handguns.
Anyone owning a popular 1911 compact or full-size pistol can obtain the LTG-701 to illuminate the darkness. This Lightguard packs a 130-Lumen LED white light and powers up with Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation. A similar unit, with a 100-Lumen LED white light, is the LTG-736 Lightguard that fits nearly two dozen Glock Gen-4 and Third Generation pistols. A similar Lightguard, the LTG-760, is designed for precision fit onto a Smith & Wesson M&P full-size pistol. Some of these units can be installed on pistols equipped with Lasergrips laser sights.
Anyone with a full-size Springfield Armory XD and XD(M) pistol will find that the Lightguard LTG-746 is a perfect fit onto those pistols’ trigger guard. Another lighting innovation is the Crimson XChange Technology that permits changing from a light to a laser—or back—on a Ruger LC9S pistol.
Last, but not least, are the military style Modular Vertical Foregrips from Crimson Trace. The MVF-515s are offered with either red or green sighting lasers that are partnered with powerful 200-Lumen LED white lights. Side buttons permit operation with Instinctive Activation.
Want to be better prepared to light the night? Take a look at the useful information on the more than 200 Crimson Trace laser sights at www.crimsontrace.com. Crimson Trace leads the laser sighting market in products—and product categories.
