Blackhawk Updates Popular Stache IWB Holster Line with New Mag Adapter Wing

March 12th, 2024

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – March 11, 2024 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has updated its popular Stache IWB line of holsters with a new Mag Adapter Wing to let the operator customize the ride angle for the spare magazine carrier.

Made of durable polymer, the Mag Adapter Wing kit comes with two different wings, one 25º and one 15º, to give the operator choices to best fit personal carry style. Both Mag Adapter Wings are drop-in and require no special tools for installation.

“The Stache IWB has been an incredibly popular holster amongst serious concealed carriers. The value that it brings to the table distilled into such a simple, comfortable, and practical way makes it a no-brainer for serious concealed carriers,” said Liam Yarbrough, Senior Product Manager at Blackhawk. “We noticed customer feedback that the old-design Mag Adapter Wing didn’t feel very strong, so we beefed it up a little more and went with fixed angles to ensure stability.”

The new Mag Adapter Wing Kit is included with all Stache IWB Premium holsters. To see the full line of Stache IWB holsters with Mag Adapter Wings, including new models to fit the Glock 26, Springfield Hellcat Pro and Sig P365X-Macro, visit www.Blackahwk.com.

This distinguished designation is part of the continued modernization efforts of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) Program and proliferation of SIG SAUER accessories designed and engineered to enhance the M17 and M18 platforms.

For inclusion on the MHS Additional Authorized List (AAL), the U.S. Army evaluated numerous pistol red dot sights, from multiple manufacturers, through vigorous environmental and performance evaluations and the ROMEO2 and the previously awarded ROMEO-M17 (NSN: 1240-01-713-9795) each achieved successful selection. The issuance of the NSN to these products streamlines the procurement process for all NATO members and partner countries as an identified standardized material.

The ROMEO2 is a Red Dot Reflex Sight that features a molded glass aspheric lens with high-performance coatings for superior light transmittance and zero distortion, available with a 3 MOA, 6 MOA, or Circle/Dot reticle, and offers D.A.R.C. (Dark Adaptive Reticles and Coatings) technology to provide ideal reticle brightness and target clarity during the day and while using a Gen3+ night vision device. MOTAC™ (motion-activated illumination system) automatically turns the optic off when not in use, and automatically turns it back on when it detects motion, and MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation) automatically turns the optic off when holstered in a compatible holster, and on when drawn. The sight has a 7075-aluminum housing and comes with two (2) steel shrouds for three (3) different optic configurations, to include fully enclosed and sealed. A spring-loaded side battery tray with push-button release allows a battery change without the need to remove the optic from the firearm.

Additionally, the approved MHS AAL ROMEO2 kit includes Berry-compliant wrenches, an X-RAY3 green suppressor-height front night sight to co-witness with the integrated rear sight on the ROMEO2 housing, and a plug to fill the hole in the rear of the MHS slide when the sight plate is removed.

March 12th, 2024

Antimatter Industries presents a next gen appendix holster: the Kompakt. Utilizing a unibody design instead of the traditional clamshell kydex build, the Kompakt is 20-40% smaller than traditional appendix holsters with a mag carrier.

March 12th, 2024

I met a great crew of young men from Poland who are building some awesome gear. They’ve got a whole line of cool stuff but I wanted to show you their new TOTEM pouches.

Fixed PALS webbing has been replaced with a stiff mounting surface which together with dedicated mounting straps ensures stable mounting. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

The integrated PALS slots not only give the TOTEM pouches their name, but also enable stacking of pouches. Additionally, the bottom of the pouch is partially open, preventing moisture from collecting inside.

The Tegris mounting plates are ambidextrous and the rifle TOTEM pouches can be mounted vertically or horizontally, while the pistol pouches can be mounted vertically or at 45 degrees.

Available in 7 colors and made in Poland from American materials.

USSF Rolls Out New Physical Training Uniform at BMT

March 12th, 2024

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) —
The United States Space Force began the roll-out of its Physical Training Uniform March 8, when it was provided to the newest Basic Military Training Guardian trainees.

“This is more than a uniform rollout, this is the first finalized service-specific uniform that Guardians can wear with pride,” said Maj. Gen. Steven Whitney, Space Force Director of Staff.

The new uniform now includes performance features such as breathable, moisture-wicking shorts designed for running, and soft, quick-drying material to help curb sweat and odor. The uniforms will be available in both men’s and women’s sizes, rather than unisex, for a better fit.

Overcoming material shortages and supply chain delays stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the uniform development team diligently worked to design the Space Force PT uniform with Guardians in mind.

“From the word ‘go’ we have been committed to keeping Guardian feedback at the forefront of developing service-specific uniforms,” said Catherine Lovelady, Space Force change management team program analyst. “We are grateful to our partners at the Air Force Uniform Office who helped make this a reality for Guardians.”

The Space Force will celebrate its fifth anniversary Dec. 20, 2024; this rollout is significant as the youngest military service continues building its culture and identity.

“The Space Force is committed to making the Guardian experience something that our service members can be proud of,” said Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force John Bentivegna. “The uniform connects Guardians to each other and their service. It represents our spirit and our strength operating as one team.”

Uniform delivery to select AAFES locations will begin in the next several months at Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, Vandenberg, and Patrick Space Force Bases, Los Angeles Air Force Base, and the Pentagon.

Guardians will utilize the same wear instructions as the U.S. Air Force physical training uniform utilizing DAFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of United States Air Force and United States Space Force Personnel, until a standalone Space Force Instruction for Dress and Appearance is released later this year.

The PT uniform cost will be calculated into the Guardian uniform replacement allowance beginning April 2024. Guardians are encouraged to only purchase one set of the uniform as supplies will be limited as rollout begins.
