SHOT Show – Downeast Innovations

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

Downeast Innovations is a design house that has developed numerous products including the MOLLE frame and FASTMag. They showed us two new innovations that are coming soon.

 

This is the Gemini buckle which is made up of two symmetrical buckle components. It’s designed for heavy loads yet offers a light fingertip release. You can also squeeze the buckle to get it to release. While this is a prototype buckle, the molds are done and production buckles will be available within two weeks.

  

Next up is an upgrade to the PALS compatible attachment of the FASTMag. Its easier to use than the current version (bottom).

SHOT Show – DownEast

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013

This new Dragon Lock holster retention system from DownEast offers Level 3 retention on a fabric holster. The design is ambidextrous and can be changed with simple tools. It will also work on Kydex or polymer holsters but was really designed for use with fabric holsters.

This is huge for small manufacturers and will be tooled up and ready to go in a month.

Additionally, DownEast has been working to improve how their polymer feed chute actually attaches to the weapon. They’ve developed a new two piece feed chute collar.
