The new Mission Spec Essentials Only Carrier (EOC) is pretty well stocked with features for a minimalist plate carrier. It is designed to be trim enough to conceal under a jacket but also offer some modularity with its full PALS coverage front and back. The plate pockets are constructed from 1000D Cordura nylon construction with spacer mesh backing and are designed around a medium SAPI cut plate.
The cummerbund design is very clever. It features 2 simple webbing straps with side released buckles on each side. The straps are not only adjustable for length but their ride height can also be adjusted. It not unusual for a rear plate pocket to sag too low on the wearers back when the front plate is adjusted to ride high on other plate carriers. The EOC’s adjustable cummerbund design looks like it could compensate for the sagging rear plate issue.
The EOC is currently available in Black and Multicam with other colors coming soon. Check out the EOC at Mission Spec.

The rail mounted Lanco Tactical Grip Stop Mod 2 is now available. This brings the versatile Grip Stop functionality to an even wider variety of hand guards.
I purchased one of the original Grip Stops several weeks ago and I have been extremely impressed with it. It lets the user determine the angle of their wrist by sliding their hand on the grip by moving their support hand forward or back. It is extremely comfortable to use off hand and locks onto barriers easily and securely.
If the Mod 2 version brings the same level of functionality to railed hand guards, it will be a tremendous success.
From Lanco Tactical:
Lanco Tactical LLC is pleased to announce the Grip Stop™ Mod 2. The Grip Stop™ Mod 2 is the next step in the evolution of the original Grip Stop™ design. It takes the original Grip Stop™ and adds the ability to mount it directly onto any standard 1913 Picatinny rail. The original Grip Stop™ was the culmination of a brainchild design by a former U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran to fill the void between using a vertical grip and hand stop. It allows a variable angle grip to prevent locking the wrist. Use as an assist to the modern “C grip” technique or as a barrier stop. The Grip Stop™ Mod 2 is 100% designed and made in the USA. It is made from solid billet aluminum and then hard coat anodized black.
The Grip Stop™ Mod 2 fits: MK-18 Block 2 (Daniel Defense); Heckler & Koch 416 & M27 IAR; KAC MK-11, MK-12 & M110 Sniper Rifles; Standard Issue M-16A4, M4 & M4A1; Any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny Rail. With a weight of just over 3 oz. the Grip Stop™ Mod 2 will not add unwanted weight to a weapon.
The Grip Stop™ Mod 2 is priced at $54.95 and is available now from Lanco Tactical LLC and can be ordered at lancotactical.com or by calling 717-367-7221. For more information on government, LEO, Dealer or Distributor purchases, please contact Lanco Tactical at 717-367-7221 or www.lancotactical.com.
