Down Range Gear Enhanced Straps

By Matt on August 3, 2010 in Tactical Gear

The Down Range Gear Enhanced Straps should be standard on every chest rig. Down Range Gear always turns out some seriously innovative designs but this one could change the way that you expect chest rigs to perform forever.

I like to run my chest rigs relatively high and tight. This often means adjusting the straps based on how I am dressed (rain wear, cold weather gear, etc). The Down Range Gear Enhanced Straps are made of shock-cord wrapped in tubular webbing. This allows the straps to stretch and move with you. It should also allow them to work over a wider range of clothes. They also have a length of flat webbing with an adjuster so you can make larger adjustments than the shock-cord will allow.

I wish I thought of this.

LaRue VFZ Mounts

By Matt on August 2, 2010 in Guns, Tactical Gear

LaRue makes excellent quick detach (QD) mounts but not everyone needs QD functionality. Now, with the introduction of the new VFZ (Vector Force Zero) Mounts, you have a choice between QD and non-QD without having to give up LaRue’s well known return to zero functionality.

The new VFZ mounts are a direct, drop in replacement for the QD levers and will be available as an option on all LaRue mounts. The mounts feature witness marks that allow the user to visually confirm that the mount is torqued to the proper spec for a repeatable zero (not everyone carries a torque wrench in the field).

You can find more info on these mounts in the LaRue Tactical Industry Forum on AR15.com.

Surefire Introduces a AA Flashlight

By Matt on July 30, 2010 in Flashlights

Surefire has introduced a flashlight that accepts AA batteries. The E2L AA Outdoorsman runs on 2 AA batteries and boasts 2 output levels: 80 lumens for 9 hours and 3 lumens for 60 hours. That kind of runtime, output, and well known Surefire quality makes light perfect for outdoor pursuits.

I know a lot of people have been waiting for a light like this from Surefire.

Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip

By Matt on July 29, 2010 in Guns

There is certainly no shortage of options when it comes to grips for the AR-15. It takes a unique product to be able to stand out from the crowd. Fortunately, the new Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip is definitely unique.

The Battle Ax CQB Grip has obviously been heavily influenced by the AK-47 grip. It is very short and angled in such a way that it drives your hand higher on the grip. This high hand grip can help you drive the gun and control recoil. Troy also thoughtfully included a tab that covers the gap under the trigger guard. This gap, if left uncovered, can abrade the users hand under prolonged use.

I am really intrigued by this grip.

The Troy Battle Ax CQB Grip is available now.
