New Wedges from EGL

Just last Friday, I showed you the M4 Magazine Wedge from Extreme Gear Labs (EGL) that allows you to expand the magazine storage capacity of your EGL VOCR, HSP D3CR, or other compatible chest rig. Apparently Eggroll never sleeps because he has already rolled out two additional wedges – a Glock Wedge and a Medical Wedge. These Wedges are designed to attach the loop panel on the back of compatible chest rigs and fit into the natural void that usually exists between you and your chest rig.

The Glock Wedge is pretty self explanatory. It allows you to carry a Glock (or other handgun with the correct holster) in your your chest rig. It is based on G-Code holsters but other Kydex holsters should be compatible with the addition of just a bit of adhesive hook material.

The Medical Wedge is a simple, slim pouch. It lacks internal organization in order to keep it as slim as possible. It is a relatively small pouch (7.5″ x 6″ x 1″) but it can still hold 2 chest seals, hemcon, Combat Gauze, NPA, PriMed gauze, and a 4″ dressing.

These wedges can significantly expand the usefulness and functionality of any compatible chest rig. Check out the EGL Facebook Page.

BladeHQ Exclusive TOPS BOB Brothers of Bushcraft Fieldcraft Knife

The TOPS BOB (Brothers of Bushcraft) Fieldcraft Knife has been making a name for itself thanks to its “modified Scandi” edge (basically a saber height convex edge), large ergonomic handle, and reasonable price. This knife cuts well for one made from 3/16″ thick stock and is easy to sharpen thanks to the edge geometry and 1095 steel.

Previously, it was only available with a micarta handle that is sort of orange in color. If you prefer your knives to be a bit less loud in their appearance, you’ll be interested to know that there is a brand new version of the BOB exclusively at BladeHQ. The new version sports black G-10 handles and special BHQ-XXX serial numbers.

Tactical Medical Solutions Uniformed Medical Kit

The Tactical Medical Solutions Uniformed Medical Kit (UMK) is purpose built to carry life saving medical gear without further cluttering a duty belt. The UMK uses hook material to mount to the front of a concealed body armor carrier. It is design to spread out its cargo over a large area so that it remain thin and low-profile. The front of the UMK is covered with loop material so that the adjustment straps of the body armor can be placed over it if necessary.

This looks like an elegantly simple solution for carrying trauma supplies on something that a patrol officer is already wearing. Check out the UMK at Tactical Medical Solutions.
