The ITS Tactical crew will be attending the Warrior Appreciation Night on the third evening of SHOT Show in Las Vegas, NV and we’d like to take a few minutes to tell you about what it is and how you can get a chance to win some fantastic prizes through their raffle presented by USPSA.
We’ve got big plans starting this Monday the 16th when Las Vegas SHOT Show 2012 kicks off with Media Day at the Range. This article will to tell you all about what we have going on during the week and why you’ll want to track us down.
Primarily we’ll be there reporting live from the show floor on all the latest and greatest in the industry each day, so keep your eye on our homepage for the live feed. We’ll also be updating on our Facebook page and Twitter with everything we’re seeing too. The SHOT Show runs each day Tuesday the 17th thru Friday the 20th from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with Monday being Media Day at the Range. We’ll definitely be covering Media Day at the Range as well.
As you might have seen on our Facebook page, our SHOT Show Poker Chips are back with a new design for 2012. In addition to handing you one for free when you find us at the show, any order placed in the ITS Store during the week of SHOT Show (January 16th – 20th) will receive a free poker chip as well! (while supplies last). [Read More…]
Your feedback is a critical element to our development here at ITS Tactical, so I have a question that I’m really hoping to get your response to. Should there be more content for women on ITS? We’d like to hear from you no matter if you’re a female follower of ITS, or if you’re a male follower who thinks your wife, girlfriend, daughter or friend would be interested in posts and reviews geared toward them.
At the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas I noticed a larger segment of the booths there that had things specifically for women. There were even entire booths dedicated to the female consumer. Having attended the show in 2010 with ITS as well, the difference was so significant to me that it confirmed what I had been thinking before we made it to SHOT. We should have content dedicated to helping women become better prepared for self-protection and anything they might encounter. [Read More…]
Dom over at Hyde Definition just sent us over the first public photo of the new PenCott colorways they’ve developed.
These were designed to address arid, mountain, urban, snow and low-light operational needs. They look fantastic and we can’t wait to see the production versions! You may remember PenCott from our Camouflage Comparison a few months back.
Dom will be attending the Internationale Waffen Ausstellung (IWA), an annual trade-show for the shooting, hunting and firearms industry taking place in Nuremberg, Germany, from the 12th to the 15th of March 2010 to promote Hyde Definition and the new concealment solutions.
The IWA is the second largest trade show of its kind behind the SHOT Show in the United States.
Ok Guys and Girls, it’s time for our collective tactical voice to be heard.
Chuck Taylor All-Stars are arguably one of the most popular shoes to ever be produced, and have been unofficially adopted by the tactical community and military for a long time.
There are thousands of color schemes Converse has produced over the years, but none that are truly tactical!
Yes, there are black canvas on black sole Chucks, which are awesome, but none in true tactical colors.
The Tactical Chucks pictured here (The bag says Vintage 1946) were seen at the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, and if we didn’t grab a photo of them, would have slipped into oblivion.
We contacted Converse and eventually got routed to their eStore email address, who needed visual confirmation to give us any information about the elusive Tactical Chucks. Luckily we had a photo…
Just to provide a full disclosure, we’ve attached the email correspondence from Converse so you can see just why we’ve created a petition to get these Tactical Chucks made! [Read More…]
Before we announce the winner, we’d all like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our contest and all the great feedback that was left.
You all have made our coverage of the 2010 SHOT Show worth every minute of our time, and there’s no way we won’t be brining you even more coverage next year!
The winner of our SHOT Show Schwag is… Crew Member “Shift.” Shift was Crew Member #107 of 176 entries, and as always we used random.org to choose the winner.
A big congratulations to Shift, and thanks again to everyone who participated!
Shift, please contact us if you haven’t received an email yet.
We’d like to wrap up our coverage of the 2010 SHOT Show with a review of what we feel to be the most innovative products we came across.
First, if you were following along with our SHOT Show Twitter updates then you’ll already know about our next reader appreciation contest we’ll be launching shortly.
We’ll be giving away a knife autographed (etched) by Pete Gerber of Gerber Knives and some other show schwag. Details on the contest will be posted this week.
Without further delay, here are our picks in no particular order… [Read More…]
Yesterday (Day 3) we managed to complete our walk-through of the Law Enforcement/Military area of SHOT Show, it took us three days! Of course we stopped and talked with tons of vendors, but this place is massive!
The highlight of today was Crye Precision’s Jumpable Plate Carrier (JPC) that weighs just under 1lb. and features a revolutionary new AirLite Cummerbund attachmet. Basically it’s free-floating MOLLE. Unfortunately, we don’t have a photo to share as Caleb asked us to please not post it on the internet just yet.
We’ve been tweeting updates throughout the day that feature more photos and will continue to do so all week, so if you aren’t following us on Twitter click here!

Another awesome day here at the SHOT Show! The huge news for today is our connection with A-TACS and EOTAC. We’d like to say thank you to Steve Hanks and Philip Duke of A-TACS, and to Fernando Coelho of EOTAC.
Fernando has provided us with some A-TACS camo for our upcoming Camo Comparison, and we’re excited to include it in our testing!
