Seller! What is the difference between this new model and the old model M/16?

The only difference is the upgraded pull handle on the vest. It now has a Secure Pull, which clips to life jacket; allows for quick release when pulled for inflation.

Will any threaded co2 16 gram cartridge fit this life vest?

It needs to be a 16g CO2 with 3/8" thread.

Ok, the shell, or outside was made in China. What I co sider the important parts were made in Ohio. I had to deploy mine when a squall came up so fast, I couldn't get back to shallower water. I fish in the Gulf of Mexico. The waves were coming out of the dreaded SW, at about 5'. As best I could , I was paddling at an angle trying to at least get in closer. One big o e that I saw coming got to me before I could turn into it and it flipped me over. I have sit on, so it threw me off. Lost a lot of stuff that wasn't snapped on, and deployed the belt. It was a little harder pull than expected, but deployed radar rapidly, took the neck cord over my head and began looking for my paddle. A boater saw what happened. came o er and with me in the water, he in his boat was able to right mine back up. The guy went ahead and slowed down his boat so I could paddle on his lee side to the shallows. I give the belt a double thumbs up!👍👍
