Cold Steel Secret Edge w/ Bladerigs IWB sheath

Bladerigs is now offering Cold Steel Secret Edge knives that have been customized and fitted with their excellent sheaths.

The customizations that have been performed on these knives turns them into compact defensive knives that are somewhat reminiscent of the Tracker Dan BloodShark. The handle is removed, reshaped, and then cord wrapped. The result is a thin, concealable handle that gives the user tactile feedback about the edge orientation and keeps your hand from slipping up onto the edge.

The sheath is the excellent minimalist IWB rig. This sheath allows a multitude of carry options in addition to inside the waistband. It works especially well tucked into a belt loop horizontally near the wearer’s center-line.

Impact Weapons Components 45 Offset Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT

The full name of the newest sling mount from Impact Weapons Components is the 45 Offset 1913 Rail QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT. That is a mouthful but when a product looks this good you can get away with a lengthy name like that. I’ll just call it the 45 Offset Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT.

The 45 Offset Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT is notable for a few reasons but one really stands out to me. This is just about as low a profile as I have ever seen on a sling mount. It looks like it is utilizing the same mounting method as the Thorntail Light Mount which means it sits extremely close to the rail – almost as close as a rail cover. The QD sling swivel receptacle sits at a 45 degree angle to the rail allowing it to tuck into the space between the rails. The mount itself has a very low profile but the angled socket allows the QD sling swivel to be very low profile as well.

Specter Gear PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch

Here is an interesting concept in magazine pouches. The PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch from Specter Gear holds the magazine at an angle which makes good sense ergonomically.

The PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch came about via a collaboration between Specter Gear and Progressive Force Concepts. It is an open top magazine pouch that looks to have very good retention while still offering very quick magazine removal. The angle allows it to fall under the hand more naturally than a traditional vertical magazine pouch.

All of these features allow the PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch to serve as a “speed reload pouch” for those who like to designate a pouch as there primary reload source. Essentially, the PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch would feed the rifle while the other pouches feed the PFC PriMAC Magazine Pouch.

One potential downside is that the pouch is specific to either left or right handed shooters (it is available in two versions – one for left handed users, one for right handed users). It is not technically ambidextrous like a traditional vertical pouch would be. Though I suspect that with some practice, this could be mitigated.
