Hi CGN!
Last week, a team of us was at the SHOT Show 2017, and it was an exciting opportunity to see all the new products that will be coming this year. Here is a collection of some brand new products we have gathered for you from the show. Some of them are in the pre-production stage, so we expect more info will become available later in the year. We will keep you posted, so stay tuned!
Salomon Urban Jungle Boot
Salomon has taken the black utility boot to the next level; Urban Jungle Ultra features anti-debris mesh with a full grain leather upper, and subtle design call-outs and subdued markings on water-repellent textile, mud guard, protective rubber heel cap and gusseted tongue.
You wanted a black, polishable Salomon that would be uniform friendly, and soon, you’ll have it.
Altama OTB Maritime Assault Low Boot & Mid Boot
Altama’s upcoming OTB Maritime Assault boots will be available in two height variations to suit your preference. It has low profile laces for a comfortable fit into swim fins. These boots have an excellent drainage system, including a non-metallic port which pumps water out of the shoe with every step you take. The strong and quick drying Cordura upper panels, air mesh lining and non-absorbent Ultron polyurethane contoured insole work in concert to keep your feet dry. The full length, one piece ABS shank provides stability and support to keep you comfortable all day long. Not only are they functional, they just look cool!
Magpul X-22 Backpacker
The Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock takes the function of the full-size Hunter X-22 Takedown and pares it down for ease of storage and transportation. Made for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle, the X-22 Backpacker offers a minimalist solution for the outdoorsman who wants to transport their rifle in a compact, convenient package without compromising shooting performance.
Constructed of Magpul’s signature polymer, the X-22 Backpacker features an ergonomic hand guard, an optional QD sling mounting capability. The clever and compact design integrates a storage compartment in the grip and a hinged storage compartment in the stock with room for three spare 10rd magazines. A unique interface locks the barrel assembly to the receiver while being transported, making it a truly all-in-one way to pack your rifle. The X-22 Backpacker fits all Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifles with either standard or heavy barrels.
Releasing in conjunction to the Backpacker will be a new optic mount, replacing the factory barrel block, with a Picatinny-style rail, notched to allow the use of the iron sights or put a miniature red dot sight in a scout mount position.
Blue Force Gear MARCO
Chemlights have been a staple of room clearing for as long as chemlights have been around. The Blue Force Gear MARCO re-imagines how we can deploy chemlights. It’s essentially a magazine for mini chemlights. The Kydex holster carries one disposable cartridge that carries 34 x 2″ chemlights. While the MARCO will save you a little money over an equivalent number of 4″ chemlights, the true benefit is weight and space savings on your gear. Best of all, you don’t have to take the time to unwrap, string them up and tape them, because they put out just the right amount of light.
Blade-Tech's refined Weaponlight and RMR holster
This is a refined version of the original weaponlight and RMR holster. In this new design, Blade-Tech cleaned up their design and improved the moulding process. This latest version features reduced bulk on the optic shroud and relocating the retention screw to reduce the overall size of the holster. Pictured here is a combination of a Glock, Surefire X400 and slide mounted RDS. There’s also some changes in the works from Blade-Tech, so make sure to keep watching our posts for news.
That's all for now folks! Please note that we are still waiting for more information from manufacturers, so we haven't determined any price information nor available date yet. Please keep watching our posts for news; we will keep you posted as soon as we can!
