Whiskey Two-Four FASTmag Covers

Whiskey Two-Four can help you turn this…

Into this…

wtf fastmag cover 2

They have been making covers for FazMag, a similar paintball magazine carrier, for some time now so it makes sense that they adapt their design to the FASTmag. The one-piece design wraps around the FASTmag and is retained by the FASTmag’s MOLLE straps. The covers are very thin so they add very little bulk. WTF is currently showing these in PenCott GreenZone only but I suspect other colors will be available soon.

Check out Whiskey Two-Four.

REFT Leather Wing Holster from RE Factor Tactical and BlackPoint Tactical

RE Factor Tactical is now offering a branded version of the BlackPoint Tactical Leather Wing Holster. While many companies offer some form of leather/kydex hybrid inside-the-waistband holster, far fewer offer hybrid outside-the-waistband options like this one. I have not personally used the Leather Wing but I know two shooters who do and both speak VERY highly of it.

Check out the REFT Leather Wing Holster.

Gearward Ceramic Escape Knives

Gearward’s new Ceramic Escape Knife (CEK) is designed to be a last ditch cutting tool that can be carried discreetly. The folding design packs a 1.25″ ceramic blade into a trim 1.75″ x .40″ package that weighs the same as a penny (2.5 grams)! The “handle” is plastic and features a cutout to make deploying the blade easier.

The CEK is so small it should be able to fit into any kit you have and be able to be concealed in just about any way you can imagine. Gearward has some great ideas for how to carry the CEK on their site.

Don’t Expect a Magpul Arm Brace Any Time Soon

Magpul has an established track record with buttstocks for the AR-15 so it is pretty easy to imagine that they could come up with a killer version of the pistol arm braces that are so popular right now. It is fine to let your imagination run wild with that idea for a bit but don’t hold your breath waiting for Magpul to drop a brace into the marketplace.

The following is a quote on M4C from Magpuls Director of Product Management and Marketing, Duane Liptak Jr.:

More braces and more opinion requests might just hasten an end to this whole market through an opinion reversal, which isn’t good for anyone, so we’ll likely steer clear of any products in this vein. I would prefer to see the ATF realize that this whole SBR thing is silly, as pointed out by the arm brace opinion, so that short barrels are no longer a determinant of NFA status. With all the more strict gun control in many, less free nations around the world, I’m not aware of anyone else that sees barrel length as something that needs to be controlled. It’s silly.

Kudos to Magpul for taking a sensible approach.
