Review: Fight and Flight Tactical Shot Shell Carrier

By on April 28, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

As if the Fight and Flight Tactical Hybrid Patch Panels aren’t already versatile enough, now you can add even more functionality with the addition of a Shot Shell Carrier. While this Shot Shell Carrier is designed specifically for use on the Hybrid Patch Panel, it works as a stand alone unit as well.

Fight and Flight Shotgun Shell Panel

Overview

The Fight and Flight Tactical Shot Shell Carrier is a pretty straight forward design. It is constructed from 2 pieces of 2″ webbing that are sandwiched together to make a backing. The back features a single row of MOLLE webbing and the the front has 5 elastic loops to hold the shotgun shells. It is designed to be attached via ITW Annex Clips which allows it to be attached to just one row of MOLLE webbing, making it more compact than most shot shell carriers.

The ITW Annex Clips seen here on the back of the panel make the small size possible.

In Use

There were no real surprises in use. It functions much like other elastic loop shell holders. It retains the shells well and allows them to be inserted with the brass up or brass down. Choosing whether the brass should be up or down is largely a function of preference and where the Shot Shell Carrier is mounted on your gear.

Many MOLLE compatible shot shell carriers are somewhat large. This isn’t necessarily because the size is needed to carry the shells but rather because a certain amount of size is necessary to attach to MOLLE webbing in the traditional way. This Fight and Flight Tactical Shot Shell Carrier is far more compact thanks to the use of the Annex Clips. They are really ideal for pouches like this that lack the vertical height needed to allow the weaving of MOLLE webbing.

Conclusion

This is a simple, straight forward design that works and that is a pretty high compliment. It does what it needs to do – hold shotgun shells – and it doesn’t take up a lot of extra space while doing it. It works in conjunction with the Fight and Flight Hybrid Patch Panels but it also works just as well alone.

Damage Industries Multi Mount Sling Mount

By on April 28, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

It would be quicker to list all the types of sling hardware that you can’t attach to the new Damage Industries Multi Mount Sling Mount (MMSM). It would be a very short list.

The MMSM has 4 different places to attach a sling and is designed to work with all common sling attachment hardware. It can threaded with your typical webbing sling ends. It accepts QD sling swivels in two different locations (rotation limited) and it has a small loop for using hardware like MASH Hooks and Snap Hooks.

Even with all of that functionality, it still consists of only 2 pieces. It looks to be an incredibly simple yet functional piece of gear.

The Multi Mount Sling Mount is available in black and dark brown from Damage Industries.

Afrankart Prybaton

What happens when you dim the lights, turn on some music, and lock the door behind a pry bar and a kubotan? Something a lot like the new Prybaton from Afrankart is what happens.

You may remember some of Andy’s (afrankart is his screenname) other work that I profiled on JTT. The Prybaton is his latest project. It blends of the functions and features of a pry bar and a (kubotan). The result is a versatile self defense/EDC tool that can handle a surprising number of chores. The tapered pry edge is not only a useful tool but it also packs a heck of a wallop in training hands.

The Prybaton is made from 6-4 Titanium and is 6″ long by .6″ in diameter. The Ti construction keeps the weight of this handful of metal down to just 3.8 ounces. The handle features texture to lock the Prybaton in your hand during strikes or while you are prying. The pry tip is cleverly designed to be flat on one side and hollow ground on the other to facilitate prying.

The Prybaton is a clever and down right nasty tool. Contact Andy via email at afrankart@woh.rr.com for more information.

It looks like the ever growing market for CCW friendly and tactical clothing is getting some mainstream attention lately. The NY Times recently published an article on, among other things, Woolrich’s line of CCW clothing.

From the NY Times article…

Woolrich, a 182-year-old clothing company, describes its new chino pants as an elegant and sturdy fashion statement, with a clean profile and fabric that provides comfort and flexibility.

And they are great for hiding a handgun.
