Comp-Tac QB Holster Used by Top U.S. General in Afghanistan

Comp-Tac QB Holster Used by Top U.S. General in Afghanistan

From Comp-Tac

U.S. Army Gen. Austin Scott Miller was recently shown wearing Comp-Tac’s® QB™ Holster in Afghanistan.

TheDrive.com highlighted Miller, commander of U.S. Forces – Afghanistan and NATO’s Resolute Support mission, wearing the versatile QB Holster while meeting Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during his recent visit.

The article describes the general’s Glock, equipped with a red-dot optic and compensator. The sidearm is clearly photographed in the uniquely identifiable QB Holster. An experienced marksman, Miller has experience both as a special forces officer with Delta Force in the early ‘90s and early 2000s and as a competitive shooter.

The QB Holster is a multi-fit, outside-the-waistband holster specially designed to offer a wide range of functionality and diversity. The QB line consists of four sizes that accommodate nearly 85 percent of the most popular handguns. Comp-Tac’s multi-fit functionality does not require any special parts or pieces, only some slight user adjustment of the retention screws. In addition to multi-fit capabilities, the QB is designed for a wide range of diverse handgun modifications. A red-dot optic cut allows firearms to be used with red-dot sights and an open-ended design permits for the use of multiple lengths of handguns, threaded barrels, suppressors, compensators and similar modifications. Finally, the holster features the versatile Push-Button Locking Mount (PLM™), which fits a variety of belt widths, and has an ambidextrous design to support right- or left-handed users.

“As a holster manufacturing company, one of the things we hear from gun stores is that they have walls of holsters,” explained Gordon Carrell, Comp-Tac general manager. “With so many manufactures and models, it can be an overwhelming task to try to keep a good stock and variety of holsters on hand. Customers are buying guns and ammo, it makes sense to add a holster to that purchase. But if you don’t have one, you can’t sell one. The QB gives stores the ability to have a holster for nearly every handgun they have in stock on only four pegs. This creates an enhanced customer experience while making inventory management less complex.”

In addition to simplifying store inventories, handgun shooting instructors have found the QB to be an excellent option for on-hand supplies for training classes. The multi-fit functionality ensures that there is a quality loaner holster on hand for nearly any handgun a student might have.

The QB is also legal for use in the most popular competitive shooting sports, such as IDPA and USPSA. With an MSRP of $50.99, this holster is a great choice for single or multi-use setups. For more information, please visit www.comp-tac.com/qb-belt-holster.

From ALPS Mountaineering

ALPS Mountaineering, manufacturer of performance-driven technical support gear for wilderness adventures, exploration, and family camping, has announced the new Pinnacle Quilt for the 2021 camping season.

An increasing number of base campers and backpackers are discovering the comfort and versatility of quilts for use as their primary sleeping system, and the new Pinnacle Quilt from ALPS Mountaineering checks all the boxes for anyone desiring a premium night’s sleep in the backcountry.

Based on a 20D 380T nylon shell and efficient 600 Fill Power hydrophobic down fill, the Pinnacle Quilt is engineered to more comfortably accommodate diverse sleeping positions while ensuring optimal heat retention and ventilation options.

An enclosed foot box keeps feet warm by eliminating drafts in this critical area. The quilt’s tapered profile guarantees legs and hips also stay warm while the expanded torso and shoulder area offers plenty of room side-sleeping and multiple arm positions. For colder temperatures, an insulated chest baffle and drawstring top traps warm air inside yet the quilt can easily be ventilated when cooler sleeping is required.

Included with the Pinnacle Quilt is an adjustable retention system. This allows the quilt to be secured to a sleeping pad, preventing accidental uncovering when turning over or slipping off the pad when sleeping on uneven ground.

Available in Charcoal/Red and rated for 35° F, the Pinnacle Quilt measures 32 inches across the top and 75 inches long with a 12 x 12-inch footbox. Total weight is 1 lb., 8 oz. and a 6.5 x 15-inch carry bag is included.

Bond Arms PT2A Handgun

Bond Arms PT2A Handgun

From Bond Arms

Bond Arms designed the “Protect the 2nd Amendment” handgun as a testament to what they believe – every citizen has the right to bear arms. The Bill of Rights enshrined this constitutional right in 1791. Today, however, the 2nd Amendment is under attack! Bond Arms joins the fight to protect the 2A with a distinctive model—the PT2A.

The bold and beautiful PT2A handgun packs a double punch, protecting American gun owners in two ways. First, Bond Arms donates a portion of each PT2A’s sale to organizations fighting for gun owners’ second amendment rights. Secondly, like all Bond Arms’ handguns, Americans can trust their lives to the compact, powerful PT2A for personal protection.

The PT2A inherits the premium features found on all Bond Arms, including stainless-steel barrels and frame, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer – essential elements in a modern derringer.

The Protect the 2nd Amendment has a 4.25″ long barrel providing tighter shot patterns, higher velocities and even more manageable recoil than shorter barrels. The PT2A is customizable, accepting all Bond Arms’ standard interchangeable barrels from 2.5 inches to 6 inches long.

Buying a PT2A leaves no doubt as to where you stand on the 2nd Amendment. Engraved on the flats of the octagonal handgun barrels’ right side are the words “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”; on its left side, “In God We Trust” – both statements Bond Arms’ believes and lives by each day. The model’s name, PT2A, is laser etched on the frame’s side and directly below the fixed rear sight. An ornate, extended rosewood grip, laser engraved with the stars and stripes overlaid with “2nd A” and finished in high gloss, adds character to this unique derringer.

Bond Arms chambers the PT2A in .38SPL/.357MAG or .45LC/.410 Bore. Any of these cartridges are solid choices for self-defense, with the .410 bore option capable of shooting the powerful 3-inch .410 shells stoked with either birdshot or buckshot. The gun’s automatic spent casing extractors expedite reloads.

Carry your pistol in style with its included BAD premium leather driving holster. White stitching accents this custom wet-molded holster, while an embossed “2nd A” mark proudly touts the constitutional right to bear arms.

PT2A Features:

  • Stainless steel barrels, trigger guard and frame
  • Patented rebounding hammer
  • Retracting firing pins
  • Automatic spent casing extractor
  • Cross-bolt safety
  • Spring-loaded, cammed locking lever
  • Compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels
  • BAD premium leather driving holster
  • MSRP $887

PT2A Specifications:

  • Barrel: 4.25-inches
  • Overall Length: 6.25-inches
  • Weight: 23.5 Ounces
  • Barrel and Frame material: Stainless Steel
  • Grip Size: Extended
  • Grip Material: Rosewood
  • Sights: Front blade, fixed rear
  • Cartridge: 357Mag/.38Spl or .45LC/.410 bore

Finish: Polished

Galco Quick Slide Belt Holster

Galco Quick Slide Belt Holster

From Galco

Galco combined hybrid holster construction with quick on-off belt loops to create the Quick Slide. The flexible, lined steerhide backplate complements the rigid Kydex holster pocket, providing not only the comfort gun carriers want, but the performance and durability they expect from Galco.

The Quick Slide’s near-neutral cant and open top make drawing and holstering fast and simple, while a passive retention device located at the trigger guard provides exceptional security. Mounting to the belt via two widely spaced snap loops, the Quick Slide pulls in tight to the body to provide excellent concealment without unnecessary bulk. Combine these features with its silhouetted design and it’s easy to see that Quick Slide is the go-to holster for just about any variation of firearm it carries.

Available in black for over 60 different pistols.

Leupold Adds Three New Styles for Performance Eyewear Line

Leupold Adds Three New Styles for Performance Eyewear Line

From Leupold

Leupold & Stevens, provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the addition of three new styles to its Performance Eyewear line–the Payload, Refuge, and Cheyenne.

Each of the new styles is available in multiple lens and frame combinations, adding 11 total new sets of eyewear to Leupold’s line. Like the rest of the Performance Eyewear line, the Payload, Refuge and Cheyenne are all are made from lightweight, ballistic-rated materials and ship with scratch-resistant polarized lenses as rugged and clear as Leupold’s legendary sporting optics.

“Our products outperform the competition under the harshest conditions, without fail–and the Performance Eyewear line has been no different,” said Zach Bird, Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The Payload, Refuge, and Cheyenne designs ensure that hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen and women everywhere have a set of Leupold Performance Eyewear that meet their needs and personal style.”

The Payload was designed for anglers and outdoorsmen who live life on the water. Featuring Lens Ventilation, the Payload maintains a clear image while eliminating glare, helping you see past the water’s surface to what lies beneath. Combine that with wrap-around, ANSI Z87.1+ certified frames and ballistic-rated lenses, and you’ve got unmatched protection and clarity that every outdoor athlete demands.

Built for action and adventure, the Refuge has all the rugged features of its bigger brother, the Becnara, but in a sleek new style. The slightly smaller frame makes the Refuge as fashionable as it is functional. Polarized and incredibly clear; they are guaranteed to look great around town and always outperform on the trail.

The Cheyenne features a low-profile frame that makes it the perfect option for hunters and shooters with smaller faces. Its full wrap design offers complete protection from the elements, while maintaining maximum visibility and air flow. If you want eyewear that looks and feels great without sacrificing safety, the Cheyenne is the pair for you.

All three new styles share numerous top-of-the-line features like In-Fused polarized lenses, which eliminate glare and keep your eyes fresh whether you’re on the water or in the field. Leupold’s Guard-ion hydrophobic coating sheds dirt, water, and fingerprints for a clear, crisp image, while Diamondcoat-hardened lenses reduce surface scratches. A no-slip bridge design provides all day comfort with soft-touch rubber bridge pads. Daylight Max technology, meanwhile, provides complete UV protection for optimal performance in any environment.

All Leupold Performance Eyewear frames are designed, machined, and assembled in the USA. For more information on Leupold products, please visit us at Leupold.com.

Springfield Armory Releases 15-Round Hellcat Magazine

Springfield Armory Releases 15-Round Hellcat Magazine

From Springfield Armory

Springfield Armory has taken its Hellcat pistol — the smallest, highest capacity micro-compact 9mm handgun in the world — and increased its already impressive capacity with the new 15-round Hellcat magazine. The result is a micro-sized 9mm pistol with an astounding 15+1 capacity comparable to compact and duty-sized pistols, yet in a package that is smaller than similarly configured, lower-capacity competitors.

The new magazine, which is only slightly longer than the 13-round extended version, is currently available directly from Springfield Armory with an MSRP of $39.95 and will soon be available from Springfield retailers as well. It is offered in both black and Desert FDE.

The Hellcat is available in both standard and OSP™ (Optical Sight Pistol) versions, with the latter featuring slides cut to accept the smallest micro red dot sights on the market. The micro 9mm ships with a patented 11-round magazine as well as an extended 13-round magazine, and this newest magazine will allow users to have a full 15+1 rounds of 9mm ammo ready to go.

“This magazine offers Hellcat owners the ability to increase the total capacity of their pistol by two rounds or to carry a larger 15-round mag as a back-up,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “This increased capacity puts the Hellcat platform even further beyond its competitors and means users can carry with even greater confidence.”

The Hellcat has received numerous awards since its release in 2019, including the 2020 Handgun of the Year Award from the National Rifle Association’s American Rifleman, the Guns & Ammo 2020 Handgun of the Year Award, Ballistic magazine’s Ballistics’ Best 2020 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Compact Handgun, the NTOA MTR Gold Award, and more.

And if you haven’t heard about the Hellcat, here’s more detail.
