I run across all kinds of different stuff at these trade shows. I found this take on a combat shirt by J Arthur Ltd rather interesting. One friend asked me if it was a pajama when I showed him the photo.

SIG SAUER P250-22 Compact Offers Rimfire Economy, Centerfire Options
November 17th, 2015
NEWINGTON, N.H. (November 16, 2015) — SIG SAUER, Inc., changed the way the world looked at handguns with the introduction of the modular P250 series. Now, with the introduction of the P250-22, that same versatility is available in a rimfire option.
Built on the same platform as the centerfire P250 variants, the P250-22 offers an affordable option for plinkers, instructors, and newer shooters. Chambered in the venerable .22LR cartridge, the P250-22 is a reliable, fun-to-shoot handgun for all levels of shooter.
“The real benefit to the P250-22 lies in its ability to be converted to fire centerfire rounds, such as 9mm, .40 or .357SIG,” said John Brasseur, Director of Product Development for SIG SAUER, Inc. “This allows newer shooters to work up to the more powerful cartridges, and is a great tool for introducing youth to the shooting sports.”
The P250-22 features the same serialized fire control group as on centerfire models. This unit is the actual “firearm” and can be installed in a variety of grip modules. This versatility allows the P250-22 to be fit to any hand, and with the addition of an X-Change kit, can be converted to centerfire.
Full-size, compact, and subcompact X-Change kits mean the P250-22 can be set up as a centerfire duty pistol, concealed carry gun or backup piece in seconds. The smooth double-action only trigger offers a consistent, clean trigger press, which stays the same regardless of the caliber or configuration.
“The P250-22 is truly a ‘one-gun’ solution,” Brasseur said. “Thanks to the wide variety of caliber and grip module options, the P250-22 can meet any need and fit any hand.”
Offered in the Compact configuration, the P250-22 is now shipping to SIG SAUER dealers across the nation. For more information, please visit us at www.sigsauer.com.

San Diego, CA – November 17, 2015. A 30-day Kickstarter campaign for the knife launched Monday, November 16th with backer rewards that include three different configurations of the knife that are limited edition, numbered runs of 100 units. The knife rewards range in price from $275 – $375 and can be seen on the campaign page.
“I’ve always wanted to make a knife that was uniquely and totally American. And also one that lasted a very long time; what I would call an heirloom-quality knife. One that can be handed down from generation to generation,” says Robert Young Pelton, DPx Gear Founder, of the DPx HEST/F Urban.
DPx Gear’s first 100% all American made folding knife will be surprisingly small when compared to its big brother, the Northern Italian made DPx HEST/F. The DPx HEST/F Urban will weigh in at just 3.35 ounces, measure 3.8 inches long when closed, and 6.7 inches long when open. It will be jewel like in its manufacturing precision and have the best feel that U.S manufacturing can deliver. Designed to be carried every day and last lifetimes.

Bravo Company Manufacturing – 300 Blackout
November 17th, 2015
Bravo Company Manufacturing is now offering a line of 300 Blackout upper carbines and upper receiver groups in Recce 16″, 12.5″ CQB, and 10″ pistol configurations and lengths. One of the greatest benefits of 300 Blackout ARs is that they utilize virtually all of the same parts and components as an equivalent 5.56 AR, allowing shooters to use the same magazines and accessories between rifles chambered for either caliber. This modularity extends towards BCM’s 300 Blackout uppers, which come standard with the KMR-Alpha forend.
BCM’s 300 Blackout line is built on their 1:7 twist 11595E Certified Steel Barrels. Both the bore and chamber are chrome-lined, and each barrel features a continuous taper profile “designed to optimize balance, performance and weight”. Additionally, BCM barrels lack the sharp handguard cap shoulder common on AR-platform barrels, the removal of which is designed to improve barrel harmonics and accuracy. The 300 Blackout line also includes the BCM Comp Mod 1 – 762/300 BLK.
BCM Gunfighters Travis Haley and Tom Spooner has this to say about 300 Blackout:
My main requirements in a combat round are versatility and recoil control. In testing 300 Blackout over the years, I have found it performs from CQB range out to, and exceeding, 500 meters. Despite having a slightly more potent impulse, the recoil is still manageable, which means a shooter can engage threats quickly and, given the increased mass, more efficiently.
– Travis Haley
Haley Strategic, Combat Veteran, Force Recon
The ability to have the power of a .30 caliber round, with minimally increased recoil over a 5.56×45 round in a sub 10 inch platform is ideal for most soldiers in Direct Action units. As fielded, in an AR pattern carbine, the operator is already familiar with the operating system and ergonomics of the weapon.
