Mountain Ridge Gear Redesigns the TMP-W

By on December 28, 2011 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Mountain Ridge Gear’s TMP-W (Tactical Man Purse – Wide) was the subject of one of the very first reviews that I ever posted on this blog. Mountain Ridge Gear has made some small improvements since that review. Now, Mountain Ridge Gear is performing a major overhaul of the TMP-W with even more improved features. You have to love it when a company continues to improve their product.

The most noticeable improvement to the new iteration of the TMP-W is the laptop sleeve. In the previous version of the TMP-W, there was a large internal mesh pocket. That has now been replaced with a padded laptop sleeve. The sleeve is covered with loop Velcro so that you can add additional Velcro backed pouches to the face of the laptop sleeve.

The new version of the TMP-W also features an improved rubberized bottom panel. The new panel improves water resistance and is easier to clean so you can set your bag down without fear of picking up dirt and grime.

Check out the new bag on MountainRidgeGear.com. If you don’t need a laptop sleeve, there are a limited number of first generation Coyote Brown TMP-Ws on clearance for a great price right now.

New Cobra 1.5″ EveryDay Belt Colors from Jones Tactical

By on December 27, 2011 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Jones Tactical is well known for their belts and the Cobra 1.5″ EveryDay Belt is one of the most popular models. It can’t be beat for all day gun carrying comfort. They are used by some pretty serious people but did you know that the belts are available in some less than serious colors?

Buyers of Cobra 1.5″ EveryDay Belt buyers will now have some eye catching options for the accent webbing. Firemen will love the red webbing, while female shooters might want to check out the pink or purple. If you are a member of the Usual Suspect Network, you will really like the toxic green option.

There are plenty of options so make sure you check out the Jones Tactical website and get in touch to see if they have your favorite color.

Blue Force Gear D.A.P. Dappers

By on December 23, 2011 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Some backpacks have so much internal organization that it can be difficult to carry larger items and other backpacks have so little internal organization that small items can not be easily accessed. Thankfully, Blue Force Gear has the D.A.P. (Denied Area Pattern) line of backpacks and organization pouches called Dappers. The D.A.P. line represents a completely customizable approach to organizing your gear.

The D.A.P. Dappers are pouches that are backed with hook side Velcro. They can be attached to any surface that is covered with loop side Velcro, like the interior of a D.A.P. pack or other packs that are Velcro lined. The Velcro attachment system allows pouches to be mounted anywhere inside the pack and in any orientation. The possibilities are nearly infinite. While other manufacturers offer Velcro backed pouches, no one comes close to having as complete a line of pouches and organizers.

All of the D.A.P. packs including backpacks of various sizes and discreet rifle cases are being discontinued for 2012 and will be redesigned eventually. This is actually a great time to check them out since they are being closed out on the Blue Force Gear Last Call page at steep discounts. While Blue Force Gear is discontinuing the packs, they will keep producing the Dappers for 2012. They will also be introducing products that will adapt the Dappers to just about any pack.

Blue Force Britteny recently posted this video that shows the versatility of the Dappers and the D.A.P. packs:

Be sure to check out the full line of D.A.P. Dappers and the discounted D.A.P. Packs on the Blue Force Gear webpage. Stay tuned to Jerking the Trigger for a full review of the Wall Street Warrior Dapper Kit!

Machined Aluminum Redi-Mag

By on December 21, 2011 in Guns, Tactical Gear

The Redi-Mag is the best way to carry a spare magazine on your rifle. However, some users find the original version to be too heavy. Now there is a new version of the Redi-Mag and it has lost some serious weight.

The Machined Aluminum Redi-Mag replaces the heavy steel of the previous versions with lighter weight aluminum. The use of aluminum instead of steel reduces the weight of this version of the Redi-Mag down to 5.6 ounces. It is machined from 6061T6 aluminum and hard anodized for durability.

This new version has all the same functionality of the original – it just weighs less. I love it when a company applies new production methods and materials to make an already great product even better. Check out the new Machined Aluminum Redi-Mag.

IWC Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913)

By on December 17, 2011 in Guns, Tactical Gear

Impact Weapons Components (IWC) is on a roll. They recently teamed with Travis Haley to produce the excellent HSP Light Mounts and now they are releasing a new version of their Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT.

The previous version of the Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT was made to connect directly to hand guards like the Magpul MOE Hand Guards and the Troy TRX Extreme Rails. This new version is 1913 (picatinny rail) compatible so it can be mounted on any hand guard with a Mil-STD-1913 rail. This means that there is now a Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT available for nearly every hand guard on the market.

The new Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) is made to IWC’s typical high standards. It is CNC Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized Type III matte finish per MIL-A-8625F. IWC always takes great care to make sure their products are free of sharp edges and snag points and this IWC Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) is no exception.

One of the most interesting things about this new hand stop is how little rail space it takes up. It occupies only one recoil slot on your rail. That means you can butt your favorite rail covers right up to the IWC Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913).

If you are looking for a reasonably priced, lightweight (only weighs .78 ounces), low profile alternative to a vertical grip, check out the Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) on the IWC website. Remember to use the code “triggerjerk” at checkout to receive 5% off at IWC.
