Hatch Introduces Sling Carry Pack For Law Enforcement And Military Personnel

New S7 Sling Pack carries essential gear and offers ergonomic, efficient design

ONTARIO, California – Hatch announced today that it has released its S7 Sling Pack featuring three key design elements to create efficiencies in the field for law enforcement and military personnel. This new quick-action bag—designed to carry an officer’s essentials in a less bulky, easier-to-access, and more streamlined way—features a C-clip which attaches to the belt to reduce bouncing, a top flap that opens outward and away from the body, and a contrasting interior color.

“We study the movement and actions of officers and military in the field and constantly look for ways to innovate our products to make their jobs easier,” said Scott Carnahan, Vice President, Equipment. “The features in the new S7 Sling Pack achieve that goal by providing efficiencies designed to simplify tactical movements.”

The S7 Sling Pack allows the officer to carry extra magazines, a trauma kit, spare radio battery and a back-up firearm. Rather than a general-purpose bag, this action bag, constructed of heavy-duty 1000-denier Cordura nylon, features three key innovations:

· The C-clip allows the user to run without worrying about the pack bouncing. The C-clip can also easily be removed so the user can swing it around to the front for easy access when rendering medical help.

· The top flap of the pouch opens outward away from the body so it doesn’t fall in the way when an officer needs to access something quickly.

· The interior color is also designed to contrast with the exterior black color making the contents easier to identify and secure.

The bag contains numerous compartments: three exterior, eight interior and multiple magazine/clip holders. MOLLE loops cover the front of the bag for easy attachment of accessories and the S7 is also designed with heavy duty hardware for significant durability.

The S7 Sling Pack, offered in black, is available now with an MSRP of $49.99.

MDM – Quantico Tactical – Spuhr AB

September 23rd, 2015

It’s always a pleasure to speak with Håkan Spuhr and I had a chance at the Quantico Tactical booth. He had a variety of products but this Adjustment Device for lasers and laser range finders caught my eye. Here, we see it paired with the Spuhr Accessory Ring which allows the mounting of various accessories to a spotting scope.

 

It allows the user to zero the LRF to the same zero as the spotting scope with an adjustment range of +/- 10 mils at .25 mils per click. The LRF can be detached and reattached without losing zero. Additionally, the LRF can be mounted to a tripod.

   

It’s a two-piece design with the male portion attached to the Laser Range Finder and the female portion or base, is attached to the Accessory Ring.

MDM – Reinmetall Defense – Wiesel 2

September 23rd, 2015

  

There are a lot of vehicles at Moden Day Marine, but the one that actually surprised me was the Reinmetall Defence Wiesel 2. I spoke with one of the representatives at the booth and he explained that they recently attended the Maneuver Conference at Ft Benning as they showcase the vehicle for an Army armored gun requirement. They are at Modern Day Marine because the Marines have a mortar vehicle requirement.

  

The base vehicle dates from the 1980s and the slightly larger Wiesel 2 on display, sports an additional road wheel than its predecessor. This means almost twice as much internal volume. It is 4.78 meters long, 2.17 meters high, and 1.87 meters wide. Its weight is 4.78 metric tons (about 10,500 lbs). It is airdroppable and airtransportable in the CH-53.

  

Interestingly, the US Army Ranger Regiment experimented with the Wiesel in the mid-1990s during a series of armored vehicle trials. Wiesels have also more recently been evaluated during UGV trials here in the US.

MDM – ALG Defense / Raven Concealment Systems

September 23rd, 2015

  

Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of holster options for pistols equipped with the ALG Defense’s 6-Second Mount. We’ve heard about a model from Raven Concealment Systems and Geiselle Automatics had a preproduction model in their booth.

  

Bill Geiselle told us that ALG Defense has placed an order with RCS for a run of holsters which should be available soon.

  

MDM – SureFire G2XLE

September 23rd, 2015

This is the G2XLE, a law enforcement variant of the popular G2X flashlight from SureFire.

 

The G2XLE offers a two stage click-style tailcap with 400 lumens (2.25 hours) on the initial click and 15 lumens (45 hours)  on the second.   This is an upgrade from the G2X Pro which offers 360 lumens.  In addition to constant on, the click-style tailcap also offers momentary on functionality.  It’s made from aluminum (bezel and tailcap) and Nitrolon material (chassis).  

At $80 full retail this is a good buy from SureFire.
