Tactical Dynamics Frog Strap for the Chameleon Sling

The previously reviewed Chameleon Sling is one of the most versatile single point slings that I have ever used. It can be used as a rig mounted sling or a stand-alone single point sling. Now, thanks to the Frog Strap, it has a new trick – it converts to a 2 point sling.

The Frog Strap is a simple webbing adapter that works to convert the Chameleon Sling to a 2 point sling or as an attachment point for any 2 point sling with a hook style attachment. It straps to the forearm of your carbine and offers a large steel d-ring as a place to clip your sling.

Emerson EDC-1 Multitool Now Available

What happens when you combine the premier name in tactical knives and the premier name in multi-tools? Well, something pretty incredible happens. Something like the EDC-1 Multitool from Emerson Knives and Multitasker Tools happens.

Emerson EDC-1 Multitool

The EDC-1 Multitool should look immediately familiar to fans of Emerson Knives. The blade shape is unmistakably Emerson Commander-esque and it features an Emerson Wave Opener. The tool also features several other tools including screw drivers in various shapes, an absolutely wicked looking awl, and a detachable pocket tool that has various box wrenches, a bottle opener, and can be used for light prying. Of course, this wouldn’t be a Multitasker Tool without G10 handle slabs.

New HD Night Sights from Trijicon

Trijicon HD Sights New Models

Trijicon’s HD Nights Sights have been a hit and they are expanding the line in a big way. They recently announced new sight sets to fit several additional handguns from Beretta, HK, and Ruger. I suspect that Ruger fans will be especially excited about this announcement since there are very few, if any, premium night sight options available for the SR series.

BALCS LVR from Beez Combat Systems

The Beez Combat Systems BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) is a scalable plate carrier system that is built around BALCS cut soft armor. It is designed to scale from a low profile carrier up to a full load carrying rig that is supported by a number of additional accessories including a clip on chest rig, a PALS (MOLLE) cummerbund, and a hydration carrier.

In addition to the BALCS cut soft armor, the LVR can accept SAPI, swimmer cut, or rectangular hard armor plates. It features a mostly slick front except for some vertical webbing that is used to attach the chest rig clips and a loop field for attaching patches and ID. The LVR will come with a low-profile elastic cummerbund that attaches at the front and back of the LVR via hook and loop. It is held tight to the LVR via a webbing strip on each side of the LVR. The back of the BALCS LVR features a low profile drag handle and is covered with PALS webbing for attaching the BCS hydration carrier. The shoulder straps pull forward to adjust and shoulder pads will be available as an option.

The clip in chest rig carries 4 magazines and is available for the AR-15, AK-47, or AK-74. It is completely covered with PALS webbing to allow the user to configure it to their specific needs. It installs easily with two side release buckles on the front and a slick clip on each side. If you don’t need the heavier load carriage capabilities of the chest rig, there are PALS panels that can be attached over the elastic cummerbund that can be used to attach various pouches.

You have probably noticed by now that the BALCS LVR is available in some of the Kryptek family of camo patterns – Highlander and Mandrake (shown). BCS has added the Kryptek patterns to their inventory and now they are an option across the entire BCS line up. The LVR is also available in a ton of other color and camo options: Multicam, A-TACS AU, A-TACS FG, Woodland, Khaki, Coyote, Ranger Green, OD Green, and Black. Plus, if you provide the material, BCS will make their gear in what ever color or camo pattern that you want.
