Magpul Product Releases – MBUS Pro LR Rear Sight, M-LOK Paraclip Sling Mount, and QDM

Magpul likes to drop in and rock my socks off every other week. They rolled out three new products this week including the MBUS Pro LR Rear Sight, M-LOK Paraclip Sling Mount, and QDM Quick Disconnect Sling Swivel.

The MBUS Pro LR Rear Sight is just like the MBUS Pro Rear Sight that you already know and love except for the addition of a dial-a-distance knob. That’s right. It has an elevation knob on the rear sight that is calibrated for bullet drop at a various distances. It still has a similar footprint/size as the original and the dual aperture system is still in place.

The M-LOK Paraclip will be a hit with those who like to use HK style hook, MASH Hooks, the Magpul Paraclip, and other similar sling attachment hardware. It features steel construction, M-LOK compatibility, and comes with all necessary mounting hardware.

The QDM Quick Disconnect Sling Swivel is a fresh new look at the ubiquitous QD sling swivel. It uses very clever side release tabs rather than a button and is fully Melonite processed so rusted QD swivels are a thing of the past. This is very, very cool.

Verdande.EU TQ-Holder

Several companies make “bikini” style tourniquet holders that mount in a single column of PALS webbing. The TQ-Holder from Verdande.EU, a tactical gear maker based in Denmark, provides more coverage than most.

The TQ-Holder is made from laser cut Hypalon that Verdande.EU skeletonizes to make even lighter in weight than it already is and wider, heavy duty elastic. The result is a carrier that provides improved coverage but still weighs very little.

UW Gear Experimental Mag Pouch

We rarely get a glimpse behind the curtain but the guys at UW Gear are constantly experimenting with new ideas. They recently built a few pouches using the WTFix backing from Whiskey Two-Four and are currently putting it through the wringer.

The WTFix system consists of several base components that are made of Hypalon that is laser cut to standard sizes and shapes. The benefit to the gear maker is reduced time and cost while the end user benefits with less weight and increased durability.

At this point, these pouches are prototypes only and are not available to order. This is just a rare glimpse into the development process of a gear maker and a very cool look at how collaboration is potentially helping to make your gear better.
