Blue Force Gear Mag NOW!

By on July 11, 2015 in Tactical Gear

Blue Force Gear’s new Mag NOW! may look like a typical open top magazine shingle at first glance but it is chock-full of BFG technology.

Triple-556-Mag-Now-MOLLE-Front-600x400

The body of the pouch is made from BFG’s proprietary ULTRAcomp material and has a MOLLEminus matrix so that other MOLLE compatible pouches can be stacked onto it. This makes Mag NOW! very thin and very lightweight. The MOLLEminus front panel is backed with color matched 500D nylon which provides a continuous camo pattern or color to conceal the magazines that would otherwise show through the voids in the MOLLEminus matrix.

BFG has also introduced a new molded rubber pull tab. The tab is large and easy to grab, even with gloved hands. It is designed to sit in the same place on the magazines consistently so that you are ever groping for them or having to figure out which way is best to pull it off of the magazine.

Karras Out at Ares Armor

Ares Armor LogoThere has been a shake up at Ares Armor. Current CEO Bryce Stirlen just sent out press regarding the relationship of Ares Armor with their well known founder and liberty activist, Dimitri Karas:

July 6, 2015
It is with heavy hearts in Ares Armor Inc. that we announce the forced termination of Founder Dimitri Karras for breach of duty as an employee of this firm.
Mr. Karras had been on paid administrative leave since March 2015 for highly unprofessional behavior against members of the management team, staff, and others. Most recently, he launched a series of disruptive and disrespectful public attacks against the CEO, and the company. Furthermore, the uncovering of serious financial discrepancies connected to his selling the company only served to complicate matters.
Mr. Karras repeatedly took advantage of the incredible patience and generosity of new owner and CEO, Bryce Stirlen. “We as an organization simply cannot allow him to continue this type of behavior against the company and people who supported him,” said Stirlen. “Mr. Karras has a very well-documented history. As one the of the company directors said in a management conference call, ‘sometimes to grow a bigger and better garden you just have to root out the weeds.’ Regardless, we still wish Dimitri the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

Gen 3 IR Patches from Perroz Designs

By on July 6, 2015 in EDC, Patch Collecting, Tactical Gear

One of the common issues with laser cut IR patches is that the laser cut layer can begin to separate and peel over time. This is especially true at the corners. Perroz Designs just introduced their Gen 3 IR Patches that use a folded edge to secure the edges and corners. This new edge treatment prevents the laser cut Cordura layers from delaminating from the luminous material layer below which in turns makes for a more durable patch.

Check out the Gen 3 IR Patch Patches from Perroz Designs.
