Conquer Big Game Hunting Season with Nomad’s Barrier Jacket, Pant and Vest

Conquer Big Game Hunting Season with Nomad’s Barrier Jacket, Pant and Vest

From Source Outdoor Media Group

With the vast, open country and continuously changing weather, big game hunting season throws serious challenges at the most experienced of hunters. It’s for that reason Nomad created the Barrier Jacket, Pant and Vest, which are made especially for mid- to late-season hunts as you constantly stay on the go.

Nomad’s Barrier Jacket is made with a 100-percent polyester design and 380 G/M2 barrier softshell fabric that stays quiet when you’re in hardcore spot-and-stalk mode, yet repels moisture and light rain while keeping you warm. The honeycomb fleece interior ensures your core stays warm when you stop to rest on a frosty morning hike while articulated elbows and anatomical shaping deliver the best in fit, comfort, and performance. A zippered chest pocket stores call or a small rangefinder, while chin guard prevents chafing when the miles start to pile up.

The Barrier Pant shares the same great anatomical fit for comfort and performance, something every high-mileage hunter can appreciate. Articulated knees allow for a generous range of motion, so whether you’re climbing a mountain with a fully-loaded pack or field dressing an animal, you’ll always have the range of movement you need to get the job done. A 100-percent polyester design and 380 G/M2 barrier softshell keeps moisture away and retains heat, while zippered leg openings help get boots on and off. Generous back pockets and cargo compartments are made to house calls, wind checker bottles, knives and whatever other small gear items you need with you in the field.

Because mountain and Western hunting conditions can change so quickly, there’s the Nomad Barrier Vest, which can be worn as an outer layer or mid-layer when the temperatures start to drop. The 280 G/M2 barrier softshell fabric wicks away moisture, while the honeycomb fleece design makes for a lightweight yet ultrawarm setup. A zippered chest pocket allows for gear storage, while a chin guard protects from chafing while ensuring your neck stays warm. No matter what the weather, Nomad’s Barrier system is built to perform.

King City (CA) PD Implements Viridian Gun Cameras

From Murray Road Agency

The King City, California Police Department has deployed the FACT Duty Weapon-Mounted Camera (WMC). As transparency in Law Enforcement once again becomes a critical need at this juncture in society today, Chief Robert Masterson and the department have the only technology and tool dedicated to capturing Officer Involved Shootings.

King City is in Monterey County of Central California and sits almost equidistant from several large, major California cities on the banks of the Salinas River. King City is the first department in California to complete implementation of the FACT Duty which is in various stages of testing and implementation in over 40 states across the country.

More and more companies are going wireless on their weaponlight and scope solutions, too. Here’s my look at the trend.

“The Weapon-Mounted Cameras were purchased and implemented to capture use of force incidents where officers drew their firearms or were involved in an Officer Involved Shooting,” said King City Police Captain Keith Boyd. “As we have all seen, the country, the community and the world expect objective and immediate evidence of Officer Involved Shootings. And this gun camera does just that. They complement our body worn cameras and we see them as a benefit in modern policing.”

Viridian has created an important category for law enforcement with the Weapon-Mounted Camera. This distinctive camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras.

“We commend Chief Masterson and the King City Police for being on the leading edge of law enforcement,” Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen, said. “California has one of the largest number of officers in the country, so this is absolutely needed. Our technology can be a supplement or alternative to body cameras as a mandatory evidentiary tool to provide the critical evidence in an officer involved shooting.”

The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.

The procurement by the law enforcement agency follows several in Texas.

Wilson Combat-SIG Sauer WCP320 Carry Has Arrived

Wilson Combat-SIG Sauer WCP320 Carry Has Arrived

From Wilson Combat

Wilson Combat and SIG Sauer are pleased to announce the availability of our second Wilson Combat enhanced P320 9 mm semi-automatic pistol collaboration, the WCP320 Carry.

Wilson Combat gunsmiths and engineers have completely reworked a SIG Sauer P320 chassis and unfinished SIG manufactured compact slide into a “Professional” size, full-size grip with 3-slot accessory rail for a portable, yet full-capacity 9mm handgun.

If you think this version is great looking, here’s a quick look at the P320s standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns below.

Using the all-new Wilson Combat SIG P320 Carry grip module, our in-house re-machined slide and Wilson Combat performance battle sights, the Wilson Combat Optimized WCP320 Carry will become a favorite of those who want a smaller than full-size striker-fired handgun that is perfect for defensive use and concealed carry.

This robust, fast handling pistol wears our Wilson Combat engineered polymer Carry-2 grip module with 3-slot rail. This newly designed and manufactured grip has enhanced traction, smoother reloading, improved pointablity and superb recoil control in dynamic shooting. This grip turns an already solid platform into an ergonomic shooting machine.

How Long Will a Polymer Handgun Last and Which Chemicals to Avoid.

The WCP320 Carry’s compact slide has been machined with the Wilson Combat X-TAC pattern for improved manipulation under stress. The front and rear cocking serrations, as well as the slide top, wear this signature Wilson Combat pattern.

The stainless steel slide and chromoly barrel wear the most advanced black DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) physical vapor deposition finish available. This finish has chromium and tungsten underlayers for long-lasting corrosion and abrasion resistance.

The SIG SAUER flat-faced XFULL trigger is standard on the WCP320 and gives shooters a lower finger position on the trigger which increases leverage for a lighter, smoother trigger pull.

The pull can be further enhanced by Wilson Combat gunsmiths with our optional action tune using Grayguns custom trigger parts.

Galco VHS 4.0

Galco VHS 4.0

From Galco

Galco has introduced the VHS 4.0. Galco’s original VHS (Vertical Holster System) was field-proven across the globe from Afghanistan to America. Thousands were used by US military personnel fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Countless others are in use by US and international law enforcement, being particularly popular among police helicopter pilots. The VHS also provides an alternative for those who want the concealment of Galco’s Miami Classic but prefer the traditional vertical carry style.

After over a decade of experience with the VHS, Galco has continued to refine, update and improve it. The VHS 4.0 brings recontoured shoulder straps for comfort and concealment, replacement of the earlier Chicago screws with a key-hole harness fastener attachment, the addition of an innovative new tie-down system, and a new spare ammo carrier for revolver fits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRgZj7bvovM&t=9s

A key component of all Galco shoulder systems, including the VHS 4.0, is the harness. It uses a four-point harness that pivots independently, connected by our clover-shaped, trademarked Flexalon swivel back plate. Along with our patented swivel connectors, this results in a perfect fit and lasting comfort for virtually all body sizes and shapes. The VHS 4.0 also features Galco’s improved key-hole harness fastener system that replaces the earlier Chicago screws. This gives you better security, ease of assembly, and greatly reduced chance of fastener loss.

The VHS 4.0 comes complete with vertical holster, harness, ammo carrier, tie-downs and a set of harness fasteners. Models for autos include a vertical double magazine carrier, while units for revolvers come with a horizontal double speedloader carrier. It’s fully modular, so optional interchangeable accessories and components may be purchased separately to create a unique shoulder system all your own.

Whether you patrol the perilous sands of the Middle East, metropolitan America on the ground or from the air, exercise your Second Amendment right to bear arms, or stalk the hunting fields of the world, the VHS 4.0 will help you and your handgun stay secure in an often-dangerous world.

Made for semiautomatic pistols and double-action revolvers, the VHS 4.0 is ambidextrous and available in tan or black finish at an MSRP of $259.
