The upper portion of the hard material contours around the head of the patient aiding in immobilizing. Its curved shape reduces the risk of snagging on objects on the ground while dragging.
Two straps placed by the head of the patient allow for single-man or two-men pull.
Color coded straps/handles for efficiently securing the patient without risking strap misalignment that could potentially throw the Sled out of balance when lifted or hoisted.

SHOT Show 2019 | SilencerCo
After the launch of the modular Switchback 22 can, SilencerCo has started to study an application of similar modularity to other silencers. This is the prototype of new modular 30 cal can from SilencerCo for center-fired firearms.
This silencer, with a bore for 30 Cal rounds will also be used with 9mm SMGs and pistol caliber carbines, making it extremely versatile. Being a modular design it will be possible to unscrew the end module and, removing the endcap, it will be possible to shorten the length of the silencer at the field level.
The 9mm short configuration will perform similarly to an Omega 9K while in the long configuration the decibel count will be similar to an Octane 9.
With the 30 Cal endcap it will be close to what the Omega does to 308, 300 BLK and 556.
Mounting options:
The new silencer will be lighter and shorter than the Hybrid and it will have no barrel length restrictions, just like the Chimera. Full auto rated.
SHOT Show 2019 | Kryptek

SHOT Show 2019 | Gerber: New Products
FASTBALL
The Gerber Fastball is an EDC pocket-freindly folding knife, made in America in the Portland, OR facility.
Material-wise the blade is made of S30V steel and the handle is made of anodized aluminum.
The design of the Fastball is very aesthetically pleasing with a slick and minimalist look. The colors are very pleasing too, the stone wash finish is appropriate to the targeted user along with its other main features: stylish, minimalist, practical, efficient, USA made.
With the implementation of the B.O.S.S. Technology with two ball bearings, Gerber has rendered the Fastball a pleasure to open and operate.
the detent ball, has a very positive feedback. The best way to describe it, especially if you have attended SHOT 2019, is to compare it to the Geissele Posi-Lock safety mechanism. This means that the blade doesn’t remain halfway open and always end its travel ,engaging the locking mechanism, making this knife extremely safe for one hand use.
We hope to see this technology slowly being applied to other existing models of the Gerber line.
The size and the shape are great for both every day carry and use.

SHOT Show 2019 | Glock
Glock 45
This model is defined by many as an adaptation of the Glock 19X (which was developed for the MHS program) to the Law Enforcement and duty needs.
The full grip (of the Glock 17) allows for maximum control while the shortened slide (of the Glock 19) provides various advantages.
Among the pros are faster “clearing of the holster”, shorter sight radius and less reciprocating mass, both due to the shorter slide.
Although a shorter sight radius will render more accurate shots more difficult, it provides a great advantage: the shooter is able to pick up the sights much faster, both on the first shot (from holster or ready position) as well as during follow-up shots.
Along with the sight radius follow-up shots are quicker due to reduced mass moving along the slide. Instead of lightening the slight Glock has simply shortened it, achieving the same result.
