with the latest firearms, gear and accessories. This event helps
propel a good portion of our reviews for the year.
Companies such as Torrent Suppressors get to discuss in
person with the PMCI writers what goes into their products and
the logic behind specific products being released. Too often, the
intent for a “game changing” product can be lost in a review
due to lack of product education and understanding between
the company and the person reviewing it. This is what separates
professional writers with “real world” experience such as our
great PMCI staff from the YouTube know-it-alls and “table top”
bloggers. There are four companies that really stand out head
and shoulders above others in the industry when it comes to
product education. I feel these companies should be quickly
acknowledged for all their hard work and hospitality during
what can be a long and gruelling week of business.
The first is the aforementioned Torrent Suppressors (www.
torrentsuppressors.com) with their new Orthrus series. Clover,
Trey and the rest of the crew do an amazing job welcoming
everyone to their booth and even host legendary US Navy
SEAL and bestselling author, Richard “Dick” Marcinko. As you
may of have already read in past issues, this company’s goal of
providing top of the line suppressors for the “everyday working
man’s budget” has been really taking off over the past year.
Look for much more in-depth reviews of their products
coming soon to PMCI.
Next, Linda Kennedy and staff with LOKSAK (www.loksak.
com). For those who may not be operators familiar with her
products, LOKSAK may appear to be just fabric or plastic bags.
For those with a keen eye, these various lines of product
can save lives and important information due to the quality and
technology involved in what the untrained eye misses.
Linda, the owner is the epitome of timeless energy, old school
hustle and astounding intelligence in regards to everything from
technology in the fields of biohazard materials and
covert operations. If you know your stuff and don’t try
to fake what you don’t know, Linda and her team are one of the
friendliest and family-oriented businesses you will ever meet.
Cross her and odds are, you’ll be sleeping with the fishes off the
coast of some third world country by tomorrow.
Look for Call Sign Lunch Box to bring further details about
these products later this year.
One company coming soon to PMCI Magazine in reviews is
Elevated Silence, LLC (www.elevatedsilence.com). The owner,
Jim Hood has a line of suppressors that is nothing short of
impressive for the use in special operations as well as civilian
recreation. Over the past couple of years, Jim and his company
have been researching the market and developing two key
topics of focus. The first is an integrally suppressed barrel for
the vastly popular Ruger 10/22 .22 rifle platform. This rifle is
whisper level quiet for eliminating lighting or other assets that
hinder SWAT / Military or Contractor operations. The second is a
multi-platform suppressor that can cover a wide range of CQB
or long-range long arms with a quick detach feature and zero
impact shift.
Wrapping up this nod to the hard-working hustlers of
innovation is a company new this year to exhibiting at SHOT
SHOW by the name of EVERSAFE (www.eversafetech.com).
Lunch Box is credited with this find as he wandered the aisle of
a new one day only exhibition space located on the fifth level
of the Sands Convention Centre held on Wednesday during SHOT
SHOW. After speaking with the company’s owner, Hugh McLean
about what appeared to simply be a generic backpack, Lunch
Box reported back during our mid-day meeting that he had
discovered what he labelled a “game changer” in the covert
operations market. Eager to see what was so special about
the bag pictured on his phone while discussing this product, I
cancelled my afternoon itinerary and headed up to the EVERSAFE
booth.
Upon my arrival, I was met by Hugh and given a warm
reception and full explanation of his product. Basically, this
