Welcome Echo Nine Three

By on July 2, 2012 in Guns, Other, Tactical Gear

We are blessed to be in a position where we can be picky about who we partner with here on JTT. The companies that you see on the right side of your screen are all companies that we trust to take care of you with great products and great service. The newest company that we are privileged to partner with is Echo Nine Three.

ARS built AKM with Echo93 V3 Sling Plate and Dual Mode Sling

Echo Nine Three offers several products and services but they are most known for their sling plates. I have and use several of them and I feel that they are the best rear sling mounting points available for AK pattern rifles. There is no better solution.

In addition to the sling plates, Echo Nine Three offers the Dual Mode Sling, training, gunsmithing, and a really slick AR-15 lower receiver. Their lowers really fill a niche that is missing on the market. There are tons of lowers on the market with crazy graphics and gaudy logos but the Echo Nine Three M416 lower receiver is plainly marked. Not everyone wants a zombie pirate holding a chainsaw laser-etched on their lower.

We’re thrilled to introduce Echo Nine Three as our newest partner here on JTT. Check out Echo93.com and the Echo Nine Three Facebook Page.

Press Release: Blue Force Gear licenses Helium Whisper

By on July 2, 2012 in Uncategorized

SAVANNAH, GA—July 2, 2012—Blue Force Gear® announced today that they will provide their weight-slashing Helium Whisper™ technology to Velocity Systems.  Velocity is the first company to license Blue Force Gear’s patent pending Helium Whisper and this technology will enhance the products they currently provide to elite users.

“Helium Whisper ushers in a new category of MOLLE by eliminating the weight penalty of modular military load carriage,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO.  “It creates the kind of weight savings our troops need to improve their performance and survivability.  Velocity Systems shares our passion for delivering revolutionary products to the finest customers on the planet and their experience and integrity made them the perfect first choice for licensing our lifesaving technology.”

“We are excited about this teaming,” said David Strum, President of Velocity Systems, “Helium Whisper is an incredible advancement in design and material use and we are ecstatic to be a part of it.  This technology will provide tangible benefits to our customers and keep our pouches on the cutting edge of performance.  It is always great to work with like-minded people who care about what they do and who they are doing it for and Ashley Burnsed and his team at BFG are “top shelf” people making this teaming an absolute must.”

Helium Whisper allows modular pouch backs to be constructed from a single piece of high-performance laminate versus the multiple straps and snaps of outdated designs.  This amazing breakthrough increases strength and durability of pouches while eliminating failure points and reducing weight by up to 60 percent.  Helium Whisper licensing allows OEM customers to reduce sewing costs, minimize alignment errors, maintain or increase durability, and stay relevant to today’s weight-conscious military customers.

About Blue Force Gear, Inc.

Blue Force Gear® designs the best weapon slings in the world and leads the lightweight equipment revolution with its Ten-Speed™ multi-use pouches.   They have also reinvented MOLLE compatible pouches to be the world’s lightest with the revolutionary Helium Whisper™ Attachment System.  Unrivaled innovation and attention to detail set Blue Force Gear apart from others in the tactical equipment industry.

Combative Edge 2012 SALUS

By on June 30, 2012 in Knives

Previous iterations of the SALUS from Combative Edge featured a “tanto” blade shape. As we mentioned in a previous post here on JTT, the SALUS will be getting a new drop point blade shape for 2012. Now the first images of that new blade shape are available.

The new blade shape should make an already useful design, even more functional as an all-around knife. It is hard to beat a drop point blade for versatility. You can pre-order all of the 2012 models now from Combative Edge. You can find more information and picture on the Combative Edge Facebook page.
