SHOT Show 17 – Daniel Defense DDM4V7S

Monday, January 23rd, 2017

Although there was plenty to check out in Daniel Defense’s rather large booth, the DDM4V7S caught the eye of more than one member of the gun press.

This 5.56 carbine weighs 5.8 lbs and sports a 11.5″ Cold Hammer Forged barrel with a Government profile and carbine length gas system.  It’s topped off with a DD Flash Suppressor.

Note the Daniel Defense furniture which includes Collapsible Buttstock, Pistol Grip and Vertical Fore Grip as well as 32 round magazine.

I’ve long been a fan of DD’s Rock and Lock Fixed Front and Rear sights. They are solid and easy to install making them great back up sights. Based on the A1-style, they are simple to adjust and are always there when you need them.

This close up shows you how the MFR XS 10″ rail attaches.

Daniel Defense firearms and accessories are available for unit and agency purchase through ADS.

SHOT Show 17 – Kryptek Fleece Anorak

Monday, January 23rd, 2017

Kryptek had quite a few new items for 2017 but by the time I was able to check them out, they had already shipped the tactical clothing home. However, I did see this Fleece Anorak and I love anoraks. Insulated with PrimaLoft, it’s water and wind proof and incorporates a chest mounted hand warmer pocket along with drawstring waist and hem.  Looking forward to picking one up.

SHOT Show 17 – H&K M110A1 CSASS

Monday, January 23rd, 2017

Heckler & Koch displayed this facsimile of the US Army’s Compact Semi Automatic Sniper System. This is the lastest version of the M110A1. Interestingly, the Army kept the M110 nomenclature with a model update even though this new variant is a completely new weapon. I’m sure someone will come up an example, but off the top of my head I can’t think of another example where they’ve replaced a weapon or vehicle with a different version but kept the same model number. Naturally, this strategy was used in order to avoid starting an entirely new Program of Record, but it could certainly lead to confusion for those not intimately familiar with the capability.

The H&K entry was initially selected by the Army, sporting a proprietary HKeyMod rail.  It was replaced with this M-Lok Geissele rail we first told you about during Modern Day Marine last Fall. It is equipped with a 6-9 Harris bipod.  

Despite rumors to the contrary, the H&K CSASS continues to incorporate an OSS SRM6 suppressor.

You’ll also note the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PMII Ultra Short scope paired with a Geissele optic mount.

Below is the Collapible Buttstock with adjustable comb.

One of the goals of the CSASS program was to lighten the weight of the rifle as well as reduce its length. The M110A1 weighs 6.8kg and incorporates an aluminum receiver, unlike the steel version used in the Bundeswehr’s G28 sniper rifle it is based on.

SHOT Show – Grey Ghost Gear

Friday, January 20th, 2017

The Super Dave GT Sling from Grey Ghost Gear is wicked light at 2.2 oz. It’s also swoopy, what with the laser cut holes to cut the air while you bring your gun to bear. Additionally, they’ve incorporated Velcro in order to accept nametags or your favorite moral patch.

Available now in Blaxk and Coyote. Also available without the aerodynamic laser cut holes for you squares who don’t want to look cool. In case you can’t tell, I like the version with the holes.

SHOT Show 17 – Tactical Tailor

Friday, January 20th, 2017

This is a completely new pack from Tactical Tailor. While not the final product, it is made from LiteLok, 70D Nylon and a laminate which they laser cut.

It is a hybrid top/panel loader with a 3/4 zip lid and two zippers along the rear of the pack. There is also a shock cord for external storage. Additionally, the padded yoke system uses airmesh and the external laminate has holes for ventilation.

Externally, there are two side pockets and a larger utility pocket at the rear. Each of the pockets and the lid feature a field of PALS compatible laser cut grid. The rear utility pocket will open up in order to accept a helmet in conjunction with the shock cord. All of the zippers are water repellent. I also like the new laser cut zipper pulls.

Look for this as-yet-unnamed pack in the Spring.
