FACTR USA has a new way to carry a tourniquet. Their new FACTR TQ Card is laser cut fromĀ 6Al4V (Grade 5) Titanium and uses 1/8″ shock cord to retain a RATS TQ in a compact, organized, and easy to access way. The entire package with the TQ loaded is compact enough to easily fit in a pocket.
You may remember the excellent and now discontinued THE-E Pocket Organizer . It was a collaboration between Cdh-Tac Finland and OV Innovations (Oneiros Valley at the time). OV Innovations is apparently playing with that design again to simplify it for ease of production because they shared some pictures of a potential update.
The teaser images (below) are of a prototype but the THE-E lineage is clear. The size and shape appear to be similar. The exterior zippered slip pocket is retained and the internal organization loop layout has been updated.
Forget the cheap knock-off gear. Arbor Arms can put you in an functional and upgradable belt rig at a very, very affordable price.
From Arbor Arms:
The Good’nuff Gun Belt system (GGB) is an economical belt kit to get the everyday American shooters in your life a solid base setup that’s proudly made in the USA this Christmas, At under $60 the three piece base kit includes the “Sash” (laser cut MOLLE Belt), the “Stash” (2 x Rifle/2 x Pistol pouch) and the “Bucket” (one size fits most holster) and is upgradable with our GGB Medical pouch designed to accommodate the North American Rescue Individual Aid Kit and NAR CAT Gen7 tourniquet (or similar TQ) in either the horizontal or vertical orientation. The GGB is also compatible with all of our other MOLLE pouches such as our Stowable Dump Pouch, Multi-Function Pouch, Stowable Nalgene Pouch as well as any other 3rd party MOLLE/PALS compatible pouches.
The GGB is designed to be a viable solution to equip your friends and family that are new to the tactical market with a kit that is good,nuff to give them a way to safely carry their new pistol and ammo. It is not designed to be the 100% solution but it is a simple, adaptable, durable starting point to get them started and allow for incremental additions and upgrades as they have the budget to do so.
At Arbor Arms We Believe that All Americans Should Have access to professional quality Kit that’s made by American right here in the USA.
You’ve likely heard by now that ATF and DOJ have withdrawn their letter on stabilizing braces in which they sought to heap additional vague “guidance” on braced pistols. That is a battle won for sure… but the war is not over.
Ivan at Kit Badger recently posted a video that makes the excellent point that this is the perfect time to press for more oversight and even the abolishment of the ATF. Now is not the time to bask in a small win and wait for the next time the ATF threatens to turns us all into felons for owning something that was purchased legally. Now is the time to keep up the press. Now is the time to make sure your representatives know what that ATF has been up to and to urge them to action.
This small victory on stabilizing braced pistols is fresh in our minds but it will likely be very short-lived unless we keep up the fight.
Gadsden Dynamics has had numerous requests for placard versions of their chest rigs and all those wishes are about to come true. They recently showed us photos of mountable placards based on their Underground Partisan and Minimalist Assault Chest Rig designs.
Minimalist Assault Placard
The chest rigs on which these placards are based feature four magazine pouches but the placards feature 3 to better fit the front of a plate carrier. The placards will mount via the industry-standard buckle spacing with hook and loop backing.
The new placards should be available very early in 2021.
