Hill People Gear Lever Light Mount V2

By Matt on March 12, 2020 in Flashlights, Guns

I’ve owned and used a Hill People Gear (HPG) Lever Light Mount for more than a year now and I’ve been thoroughly satisfied with it. The original version of the Lever Light Mount was an easy-to-install and functional way to add a light rail to lever-action rifles.

HPG is now offering an updated version of the Lever Light Mount – the Lever Light Mount V2. The updates bring additional flexibility and versatility to the mount. On flexibility, the mount now fits a wider variety of rifles chambered in everything from .38/.357 to .45-70 via its clamp style mounting system with shims.

On versatility, the V2 offers a single M-LOK slot and includes a short rail section. Now users can attach lights directly to the M-LOK slot if the light allows or use the included rail section to mount any Picatinny compatible light. The M-LOK ecosystem is vast and varied. It should provide plenty of options for end-users.

New From East Corner Holsters: Manifold

By Matt on March 11, 2020 in EDC

East Corner Holsters has introduced the Manifold, a mounting panel that turns IWB holsters into hook-backed holsters suitable for off-body carry in a loop-lined EDC bag like those from Blue Force Gear or Vertx.

The Manifold is the newest and best solution for off-body carry (but we may be slightly biased in that opinion). This mounting platform velcros a flat plain of kydex in your hook-lined bag, and uses a cradle and velcro strap to offset your IWB carry holster for a proper grip, while securing it in a bag (best results with our Maximus or Artimus). This negates the need for a specialty holster for their bag’s hook field, and for the user to also keep their empty carry holster if they wanted to transition at any point. Just strap in your carry holster, and unstrap it when you want to transition to on-body carry. No awkward holster/unholster work in your car in a parking lot.

This could be a good way to put some of those holsters that you have relegated to the holster box back to use.

Gadsden Dynamics Teases TDI Collaboration Fanny Pack

By Matt on March 9, 2020 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Gadsden Dynamics has let the cat out of the bag on a collaboration project with John Benner of Tactical Defense Institute (TDI). The new fanny pack will be available soon.

Coming soon! The Gadsden Dynamics TDI Fanny Pack! Go to our website and sign up for email alerts when this goes live in a couple weeks.
John Benner from Tactical Defense Institute has over 45 years of law enforcement experience, 25 of which were spent with the Hamilton County (Ohio) regional SWAT team. John is also a Vietnam veteran and the originator of this concealed carry fanny pack design that covertly holds a full sized handgun, spare magazines, and other essential every day carry items.
The TDI Fanny Pack is constructed with top quality, Berry Compliant materials. The main body of the pack is made with 1000 denier Cordura outer layers with an internal stiffener to provide the perfect amount of support. Instead of using coil zippers which notoriously break under stress, we use an extremely durable molded tooth zipper that will last a lifetime under heavy use without breaking.
The front pouch closure is designed to be quickly opened for access to your handgun, and the pouches on either side are sized to fit double-stack 17 round magazines and smaller. There are 2″ wide webbing slots on the back of this fanny pack that can be used to attach knives, flashlights, or other items.
