Snake Eater Tactical Burro Magazine Pouches

By on February 26, 2014 in Tactical Gear

There are kydex magazine pouches and there are elastic magazine pouches. Snake Eater Tactical’s Burro magazine pouches combine both into the same pouch.

The body of the Burro magazine pouches is constructed from 5″ heavy duty elastic which offers solid retention and allows it to adapt to a variety of magazines of similar shape and size. Snake Eater Tactical adds a curved kydex insert that adds structure and keeps pouch slightly open when open to make inserting a magazine easier. When the magazine is removed, the pouch lays mostly flat and out of the way. They are MOLLE compatible and come with MALICE Clips.

The Burro magazine pouches are available for both double stack pistol magazines and 5.56 rifle magazines.

Apex Tactical Specialties Developing Glock Safety Plunger

By on February 25, 2014 in Guns

apex tactical specThe safety plunger is a key spot for those who are trying to improve their Glock’s trigger. Careful rounding and polishing of the plunger can make a big difference in how the trigger feels without a negative effect on reliability unlike some trigger mods like lightening the striker or springs which can negatively effect reliability. This is not a secret yet there haven’t been very many improved safety plungers on the market.

Thankfully, it looks like Apex Tactical Specialties is stepping in to fill that gap. They are currently beta testing an improved safety plunger that is polished and domed in shape (though not as domed as some competition safety plungers to ensure solid contact between it and the trigger bar). It is made from heat treated 440C steel which hardened to 52-56 Rc for durability (that is the same hardness as the OEM part). They state that the new Safety Plunger will retail for less than $20.

I have no word on availability yet. Check out Apex Tactical Specialties.

 

IWC QD End Plate RL

By on February 25, 2014 in Guns

I mentioned last month that my favorite rear sling mount, the Impact Weapons Components QD End Plate RL, was set to to receive a new finish. The good news is that the new darker black end plates are now available. The best news is that the dark black is achieved via Melonite processing which means they will not only be dark black in color but extremely corrosion resistant.

Check out the QD End Plate RL at IWC and remember to use the discount code “triggerjerk” to receive 5% off.
