May 2nd, 2014

The Striker XT BDU line teased late last month is now fully revealed. It consists of shirts, pants, and jackets, which feature improvements over the original Striker line.

Striker XT Combat Shirt

Based on the previous Striker Combat Shirt, the XT model features a new cut and improvements to comfort and functionality.

The torso is composed of 100% polyester with abrasion-resistant knitware, and the armpit area is composed of a mix of polyester and merino wool for durability, comfort, and odor-inhibition.

UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area distribute weight and prevent thermal bridges.

The cut of the sleeve and the slide-in elbow pockets have been ergonomically improved so that the wearer will always land on the inserted D3O elbow protection. Large upper arm pockets with Velcro, and forearm pockets with additional phone clasp allow for storage of important items.

The Striker XT pant is made from 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric (the SloCam variant is made from a 67/33 PolyCotton blend) and features a proximal anatomic cut with inserted stretch areas made from a resilient Schoeller-dynamic stretch material for limitless comfortable movement.

The XT pant has a functional pocket configuration:

– Large 2-way access side pocket with inner compartments and attached gear pocket
– Security pocket
– Large lower leg pockets
– Knife or magazine pocket

The XT pant also features a front zipper with two zip sliders, and a high belt area with double belt loops.

SureFire Ryder 22 Suppressor Disassembly Video

May 1st, 2014

This video features a quick demonstration of the disassembly of the brand new SureFire Ryder 22 suppressor.

At last December’s SureFire writers event I had a chance to fire and play with the new Ryder 22 suppressor. I shot this quick video to show you how easy it is to disassemble for maintenance. You may notice that the pig-nosed baffle stack is numbered so putting it back together is a snap.

HSGI Launches 2 New TACOs – Extended Pistol Mag and High Capacity Mag

May 1st, 2014

Yesterday, I spent the day with Swansboro, NC-based HSGI. Not only did I get to tour their new factory but they put me to work stringing some of their new TACOs. Why would they need me to help out? Because they are launching two new variants today and they wanted to make sure they wouldn’t go on back order. Below, you can see that my hand’s are moving so fast that they are just a blur.
