UW Gear APC Chest Rigs

By on September 1, 2015 in Survival, Tactical Gear

UW Gear is venturing into new territory. All of their previous chest rig designs have featured integral pouches with a bit of MOLLE real estate for adding GP and blow out pouches. Their new APC, or Armed Prepared Citizen, pouches are their first foray into all MOLLE chest rigs.

The APC chest rigs are designed to be as slick and compact as possible so that they can be packed with a truck gun or AR pistol/PDW concept gun. Their harness is a simpler webbing version of UW Gear’s standard H harness. The APC-1 has a 6×3 PALS grid that is perfect for a 3x or 6x magazine shingle or 2 magazine pouches along with a pistol mag pouch or blowout pouch. The APC-2 has an 8×3 PALS grid that gives the user even more option while still remaining relatively compact.

Question: What happens when RE Factor Tactical and High Speed Gear get together? Answer: Good things if you use a helmet mounted night vision setup.

Simply Rugged Leather AR-15 Mag Pouch and Dump Pouch

By on August 27, 2015 in Tactical Gear

I have been using Rob Leahy’s, the proprietor of Simply Rugged Holsters, leather goods for a long time. Simply Rugged is my go to place for leather holsters and some hard to find patterns for wheelguns like the Ruger Security Six (which reminds me that I need to get an order in for the Security Six that my grandfather gave me). The first thing I ever brought from him was an elegantly simple, super functional bit cover for a tomahawk, so he has a history of making more than just holsters. One of his latest creations certainly fits the “more than just holsters” category.

Simply Rugged will be offering AR-15 Mag Pouches and a Dump Pouch that are crafted from leather. Both pouches are belt mounted. The dump pouch uses softer leather for of the pouch to allow the flexibility necessary to hold about a gallon of gear. The top is stiffened with a band of leather to keep it open and allow the user to easily drop in magazines.

The AR-15 magazine pouch and dump pouch are staples of the tactical nylon industry. I think it is very cool to see classic craftsmanship and materials applied like this. Leather may not work for all environments but if properly cared for, these pouches will probably outlast their first owner.

The magazine carriers are already available from Simply Rugged. The dump pouch will be available soon.
