Fight and Flight Tactical A.S.P. (Ambidextrous Sling Pack) – Designed for PDW/SBR/Pistol Carry

By on February 24, 2017 in EDC, Guns

Fight and Flight Tactical’s new ASP or Ambidextrous Sling Pack is now available. As the name indicates, the ASP is a sling bag with a single shoulder strap. The strap is designed to be wide at the top to distribute weight and work equally well on either shoulder by switching the lower strap attachment point. The ASP was specifically designed with PDW/SBR/AR Pistol carry in mind and it has a few purpose-built features to support that intended use.

There is a grab handle on the top of the shoulder strap that can be used to pull the bag around to the front of the wearer in order to access its payload and make better use of body armor (more on this later). This action can be done without dismounting the pack, allowing faster access and giving the wearer the ability to reload from the bag.

The bag features 3 large compartments all of which offer “pass-through” style opening from either side of the bag. The rear most compartment can be used to carry a body armor panel. The front compartment can be used to carry magazines and other gear. The largest compartment, is accessed via a dual, parallel zippered flap that can be ripped out of the way quickly and provides easy access to the firearm it is intended to carry. All of the compartments have loop material lining to allow the use of hook backed organization accessories.

The ASP also features a couple of smaller admin slip pockets. It is available in a variety of colors including some lower profile color combinations that lack any exterior PALS webbing so the ASP could be low profile enough to serve as an EDC bag.

Review: TacPack February 2017 Edition

By on February 22, 2017 in EDC, Reviews

The February 2017 TacPack is here and I’ll tell you right up front that this is my favorite one to date.

Hopefully you are familiar with the concept of TacPack by now. If not, you can read the reviews of the previous TacPacks for some background on this subscription box.

Like I said before, this month’s box is my favorite to date. The perceived value is high. The usefulness and/or cool factor of the included items is high. It has a very high, I’ve-Been-Wanting-to-Try -One-of-Those factor. The TacPack has no weak items this month.

LiveFire Gear 550 FireCord – You can never have too much paracord and you can never have too many emergency firestarting materials tucked away in your EDC or various kits. LiveFire Gear’s 550 FireCord is both. It’s paracord with an inner strand that serves as an excellent emergency tinder. 25 feet is enough to make a ton of zipper pulls and lanyards.

TricornE Spool Tool – If you have paracord, you want/need a Spool Tool. This ingenious tool allows you to wrap 100 feet of paracord on it where it sits, ready to be used in projects. The tool also has an integrated cordage cutter, a bracket for holding a Mini Bic lighter, notches for holding the cord while you fuse the end, and a lanyard hole.

Bull Moose Tactical Muzzle Device – This brake is threaded 1/2×28 so it should fit a variety of rifles. I haven’t tried it yet but I will.

North Shore Kustoms Equalizer – I like knucks. I used to sell them back when we operated Edge/Equipped and I even had occasion to design one. I’ll probably never use one in any sort of defensive way. To me, they are a novelty that represents a craftsman who translates a design directly into metal. They are interesting objects that are cool to own, cool to talk about, and that is enough of a purpose for… Hold on… This one has a bottle opener!

TacPack Patch – You like patches don’t you? Of course you do.

LiveFire Gear 40% Off Coupon – The final item in the box is a 40% coupon for LiveFire Gear. I’ll put that to use for sure!

If you want to try TacPack, you can check them out at TacPack.com. They are saying that the items in the March box will have a total value of $115 and a TacPack sometime in the near future will feature the debut of a new item from Hexmag.

BLADETRICKS Stop Switch

By on February 22, 2017 in EDC, Knives

If you took a push knife and stripped it down to its barest essentials, it might look something like the BLADETRICKS Stop Switch. The spike like “blade” flares to a rounded handle with G10 scales that rests against the palm the same way the handle on a push dagger would. This compact, minimalist design makes Stop Switch easy to carry and intuitive to use.

The Stop Switch is custom made by BLADETRICKS so the specs vary from knife to knife. The one shown below with yellow G10 handle slabs is ground from 3mm thick 6150 steel with an overall length of 70mm (2.75″). You can view it and other custom knives at BLADETRICKS.net.

GunfightersINC Spectre Shoulder Holster Upgrades

By on February 21, 2017 in EDC, Guns

There are a lot of kydex benders that will help you put a holster on your waist. I think GunfightersINC is hell bent on being the leaders in putting a holster on your upper body with their Kenai Chest Holster and the Spectre Shoulder Holster! Speaking of the Spectre, they have just rolled out a few updates to it including new options, new lower pricing, and a new tool that makes it easy to customize your own Spectre.

The new cant options allow for full size handguns (G34 shown) and 33rd mags to remain concealable.

The new options available for the Spectre include a number of new weapon lights that you can choose on the holster side. You can also now choose to add a 45 degree cant or a vertical orientation to the holster side which makes concealing full size handguns like 1911s or Glock 34/35s easier.

The new pricing is now 25% less than the price of the Spectre at its introduction. GunfightersINC has improved their processes and have streamlined production on the Spectre to the point that they can bring the price in line with their popular Kenai Chest Holster. It’s the same holster but more efficiency means lower prices for you.

Finally, the new Spectre Shoulder Holster Configurator tool opens up a host of new options and gives you complete control over your holster. It walks you through the selection of every option for each configurable part on the Spectre.

If you want a pistol holster on one side and a suppressor holder on the other, you can do that. If you want pistol magazine pouches on both sides to support your pistol caliber carbine, you can do that. If you want pistol holsters on both sides so you can dual wield Glock 19s, you can do that too (just please don’t open carry them to Starbucks so we don’t all look bad).
