With the theme, “Evolving the Network to Counter Emerging Threats,” SOFIC provides a forum for military, including partner nations, government, academia and industry stakeholders to network and discuss how to best support global Special Operations Forces (SOF).

In addition, industry partners Information Assurance Specialists, Echo Analytics Group and Cockleshell Corporation will be onsite to demonstrate how their capabilities integrate with Cubic’s comprehensive solutions.

“SOF operators face threats in an ever-changing environment and need specialized training for increased mission readiness,” said Bill Toti, president of Cubic Global Defense. “Cubic is focused on delivering customers training and communications products that offer interoperability, while addressing the present and future challenges faced not only by U.S SOCOM but also the global SOF network.”

Tactical Tailor – Pacific Northwest Nisqually Pack

May 19th, 2016

This is a release from Tactical Tailor detailing their PNW Nisqually Pack.

The Nisqually-callouts

The Pacific Northwest Pack Series began as a project to fulfill a solicitation for a suite of SOCOM packs. Our designs for this solicitation were brought about with input from actual SOF soldiers who took these packs to the field throughout the design process and brought back their impressions and recommendations for improvements. We took their advice back to our designers who then continually refined the packs until they met the exacting standards of these elite soldiers.

The PNW Nisqually pack is a patrol pack for heavy loads, ideal for wear with body armor in temperate locations. At 4.5 pounds, it’s the middle-weight member of the the PNW pack family, so it can carry a lot without being a burden. With a capacity of 4100 cubic inches, it can carry just about anything you might need in the field. The Nisqually incorporates many of the same features as the larger packs in the series, like the RTO and hydration pass throughs, side compression straps and reinforced carry handle. The internal attachment for the PRC-117G pouch, side pocket pass throughs and the external access to the main compartment hidden behind the main outside pocket are also present. Finally, like our other packs, the Nisqually is STRLLS and H harness compatible for airborne operations.

Along with this new line of packs, we’ve also introduced upgrades to our traditional straps and belt in the form of our Low Profile and Low Profile Adjustable Super Straps and Ergo Super Belt. These new designs add even more comfort along with added functionality and adjustability. The Nisqually Pack is also available in a discounted kit form which includes the pack, our Fight Light MALICE Pack Frame, Low Profile Adjustable Super Straps and 34” Ergo Super Belt.

The PNW Nisqually Patrol MALICE Pack starts at only $270.00.

H&K Debuts SP5K at NRA Annual Meeting

May 19th, 2016

The NRA’s Annual Meeting kicks off tomorrow morning in Louisville, Kentucky, and along with it, H&K brings a semi-auto version of the iconic MP5K to the American Market.

Dubbed the SP5K, you’ll notice a few changes from the original. For example, there’s a button-style mag release which was used so that full auto trigger packs can’t be easily installed. Also, the top incorprates a Picatinny rail and it has the old SP89-style handguard.


Here is their press release:

Heckler & Koch is introducing the new SP5K pistol at the 2016 NRA Annual Meeting and Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky. A semi-automatic pistol based on the MP5K, the all-new 9 mm SP5K was developed by Heckler & Koch as a sporting pistol that matches the look and feel of the famous submachine gun. 

Designed and manufactured as a civilian pistol, the SP5K marks the return of the roller delayed blowback operating system to an HK commercial product. This system is well-known for its accuracy and reliability. Originally developed on the G3 rifle, it has been used on many of Heckler & Koch’s most memorable firearms of the last 60 years.

“The SP5K is a unique and historic HK pistol that captures the essence of the legendary MP5K but as a semi-auto handgun,”said Michael Holley, HK-USA Vice President for Commercial Sales and Marketing. “It’s equipped with a special ergonomic handguard that protects the shooter’s supporting hand and enables a stable and comfortable grip. A bungee cord sling is also included and makes shooting an SP5K easy. It’s a fun gun to shoot and goes a long way in recreating the experience of handling and firing a real MP5 subgun.”

The SP5K duplicates the quality and fine details of the MP5, including its precision machined components. The same cold-hammer forged barrel used on the MP5K is found on the SP5K, ensuring a service life of tens of thousands of rounds. The SP5K is manufactured completely in Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf factory in southwest Germany.

As a large size handgun that uses the proven roller delayed blowback system, the SP5K’s inherent accuracy makes it an excellent choice for target shooting and an ideal household security arm.

A wide variety of accessories can be added to increase its functionality. A Picatinny rail scope mount is attached to the upper receiver and allows optional sights to be easily mounted. The SP5K also comes “ready-for-action”in a custom-fitted, lockable, high-quality carrying case.

Covered by Heckler & Koch’s limited lifetime warranty, the HK SP5K is a faithful rendering of the iconic MP5K as a semi-automatic pistol. Projected availability is July 2016 with a MSRP of $2699.

Be sure to visit booth #3215 to see the SP-5K along with the new Flat Dark Earth (FDE) VPs models in 9mm and .40 S&W.
