What will make the cut for our sport? What is true innovation that will provide a better solution to old and new problems? The Go Gear Direct Team is working with our partners to develop and support those innovations and we would like to share some of the interesting products we’ve recently noticed. Some are available now and others are in their early stages with launches within the year. 

Massaro Holsters

One of the first Go Gear Direct finds – Massaro Holster WorksEddie Massaro was not satisfied with the holster options so he designed and patented a better solution. Massaro Holster Works is a family owned and operated manufacturer of holsters located in Massillon, Ohio.  They make a great product, with some really great features for your CCW firearm.

  • Infinite weapon adjustability in seconds allowing optimum placement of the backing pad
  • No tool required and no mechanical fasteners to lose, loosen or cause discomfort
  • Best quality, thick nap hook and loop material
  • Each holster features nearly 14 lbs/psi shear strength, equaling over 125 lbs of shear in free state, or 250 lbs while being worn with belt pressure
  • A high cycle life that has 2500K +on/off capability, until it loses 20% of shear strength

Grayboe Stocks

For many years, the experts at Grayboe have been perfecting rifle stock design for precision shooters and hunters. They always start with the user in mind.  What is the purpose?  What are the goals? Along with their solid design process, they have perfected their proprietary formulation and manufacturing process. All their stocks are worthy but their latest introduction, the Ridgeback, goes a step beyond. Many folks have already reviewed their new Ridgeback with a particularly nice article by Roger Frame published June 12, 2018. As Roger points out, Grayboe has designed in some serious features:

  • Flat foreend
  • 12 MLOK slots
  • 3 ½ pounds
  • Integrated bubble level in the stock
  • Adjustable cheek rest
  • Butt pad Spacer System
  • Anodized Detachable Bottom Metal DBM

What Ryan McMillan, US Navy Vet and the Grayboe team have done is provide an American Made stock that allows you to quickly upgrade your game and zero-in.

CKTactical

CK Tactical is a veteran owned, US based company bringing forth their first invention, a revolver speed loader.  The design may seem intuitive, but it took guys involved with robotics to get it right. They incorporated robot tooling concepts to build in the flexibility that allows a single speedloader to work with most modern revolvers.

  • Patent Pending
  • Made in the USA
  • Compact universal flexible speedloader
  • Lightweight & compact speedloader
  • Durable and reusable
  • Currently designed for 5 and 6 shot .38 special and .357 magnum revolvers
  • Universal 5 shot fits most revolvers
  • Universal 6 Shot fits most revolvers

As you can see from the pictures above, they have figured out a better solution – smaller package of 5 or 6 rounds keeps you from looking like your weighed down with a large battery.

They are traveling down the path to launching it into production and bring it to market at a competitive price. If you want to get in line for their first production, comment on this field note and the Go Gear Team will add you to the list.

VARA

Another one that is ramping production and securing packaging. The VARA team has thought about how to provide security and quick access.

  • State-of-the-art fingerprint reader access under .3 seconds
  • Plugs into power outlet + internal backup battery
  • Removable trigger guard inserts select your specific gun models
  • Secure locking bolt and safe high strength metal allows
  • Theft-prevention mounting system home, car and office
  • Mechanical override key RFID fob/card access
