If you are a fan of Aimpoint Micros and Bobro Engineering mounts, I have good news – the Bobro Aimpoint Micro mounts are finally available. Bobro is offering three different heights, a lower 1/3 co-witness height, absolute co-witness height, and a low mount. These have been a long time coming but thankfully, they are available now at BobroEngineering.com.
This is a great idea that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The new Blue Force Gear Sling Sleeve is a 5″ long mil-spec elastic cuff that can be used to compact your sling into a snag free, but easy to deploy, package while the sling is still mounted on the rifle.
It is very easy to use. You just stage the Sling Sleeve on your sling where it stays out of your way until you need it. When you want to stow your sling, you just tuck the excess sling into the sleeve. The sling can be deployed to full length with a quick tug. The rifle remains completely operational when the sling is compacted into the Sling Sleeve.
If your rifles spend a lot of time going into an out of the safe or into and out of your trunk, the Sling Sleeve is for you. Check out the Sling Sleeve on BlueForceGear.com.

Shellback Tactical has a handful of new products on their site.
Two of the new products are cummerbunds for the Banshee Plate Carrier. The first is the original cummerbund from the Banshee which is pretty handy if you have already purchased a Banshee QD and you want to retrofit a more traditional load bearing cummerbund. The second option is the QD cummerbund so you can retrofit your original Banshee to include the QD functionality.
They have also introduced a new Cobra Duty Belt. This belt features a Cobra Buckle, double layer scuba webbing construction, and interior Velcro lining for use with belt mounted pouches or an inner belt.
Finally, Shellback Tactical has a new plate carrier option – the Ranger Scalable Plate Carrier. The Ranger has a split front design for easy donning and doffing. It features an inner and outer cummerbund and it works with Shellback Tactical’s Rampage soft armor inserts.
The newest product from Snake Hound Machine (SHM), the Ray IWB Light Bearing Holster, is a bit of a departure from what the custom AK pattern rifles that they normally create and that is part of what makes this holster interesting. SHM is not a holster company and they have no desire to be one. That means the Ray will be available in 1 color, with 1 belt hardware option, and 1 light option. On its face, that doesn’t sound like an appealing business model but if you think about, that lack of options should result in something that the Kydex bending industry is sorely lacking – shorter lead times.
The Ray IWB Light Bearing Holster is designed to be worn in the appendix position. It is currently available for most of the Glock family (Glock 19, Glock 17, and Glock 21 and like models) of handguns with the Inforce APL pistol light. The APL is the only light option available. The Ray is constructed from .80″ Dark Grey Kydex and utilizes a G-Code Clip to attach the holster to the wearer’s belt. The bottom of the holster is open to accommodate threaded barrels and the sight channel is spacious enough to accommodate suppressor height sights.
Your choice of Glock models (and soon M&P models) is really the only option available for the Ray. By eliminating options, SHM will be able to reduce lead times and keep costs down. If you want a different color, different light, or different belt attachment hardware, they will tell you to buy a holster from someone else.
From SHM:
Snake Hound is known for its toys, but not for doing holsters. Traditionally SHM has teamed up with other Kydex manufacturers to offer custom products to SHM specifications, this is the first IWB holster designed by SHM that they liked enough to bring to market. The SHM Ray is a light bearing inside-the-waistband holster made to be slim and compact and take advantage of a single G-Code clip. The holster is a semi-production product and manufacturing has already started, lead times are expected to be approximately two weeks from time of order. The Ray comes in one color, an ultra dark “wolf gray” with black fittings, has a full sweat guard, and only comes fitted for an Inforce APL light. Price is $75.00 shipped, Glock models are available now with M&P models expected to launch in about two weeks.
