UCP-Delta M43 Cap from Slangvel

By on August 28, 2014 in Tactical Gear

Slangvel is part gear maker and part historian. He makes hats and other gear in several interesting and obscure patterns plucked from the pages of history. He also tends to work in modern, historical, and unique camo patterns.

He has limited numbers of his M43 cap available in UCP-Delta! UCP-Delta was basically an attempt to improve the UCP pattern by adding brown. Soldier Systems had good coverage on the pattern if you want to know more.

UCP-Delta fabric is very scarce and Slangvel only has a few of these. They may even be gone already. Check out Slangvel’s Facebook page to get in touch.

Mystery Ranch Alpine Lid

By on August 28, 2014 in Tactical Gear

The Mystery Ranch NICE Day Pack Lid is a pretty solid piece of gear. It adds 900 cu-in of additional capacity to your pack and makes a decent little stand-alone pack for when you don’t need your main pack. However, that functionality comes at the cost of weight. It weighs 1 pound, 3.2 ounces on its own. That is a lot of weight for something that spends most of its time as a lid.

Mystery Ranch just introduced the 9 ounce Alpine Lid to address that weight issue. The Alpine Lid has 700 cu-in of capacity split between 2 chambers (the Day Pack Lid has 900 cu-in). It can be carried as a stand-alone satchel style pack instead of the Day Pack Lid’s backpack style carry. Basically, the Alpine Lid provides similar functionality for considerably less weight.

Ares Armor Remora Speed Shotshell Holder

By on August 26, 2014 in Guns, Tactical Gear

The Remora Speed Shotshell Holder manufactured from .120 kydex and holds 2 shotgun shells and attaches to Magpul’s MOE shotgun fore-ends. It was designed by Ares Armor in conjunction with Gunnery Sgt. Ray Conard, Active Marine Corps EOD Tech and SOTG Instructor, to position the shells directly in front of the ejection port and oriented correctly for an emergency reload.

The positioning of this carrier is very clever. When the fore-end is in the rear position, as it would be during a pump action shotgun emergency load, the shells are held extremely close to their final destination which is the shotgun’s action by way of the ejection port. I have not put hands on the Remora but I can see how it would be very, very fast.

Attention to Detail with Henry Holsters

If you are a new gear maker, let Henry Holsters’ PMAG Carrier be a lesson to you in attention to detail. The Hoosier kydex bender has taken the time to block the top of the magazine for a round on the right or left. This allows the the carrier to hold a full magazine, a partially depleted magazine with the top round on the opposite side, or completely empty magazine with no resistance.

That is attention to detail. Check out Henry Holsters.
