Jerking the Trigger

Diamondback Tactical was one of my favorite gear makers. They weren’t as well known as some makers but they offered a solid line of gear at reasonable prices. Recently, Diamondback Tactical acquired the assets of First Choice Armor & Equipment, Inc. and they intend to focus more on armor going forward. So that leaves us with good news and bad news. The bad news is that a great source of MOLLE gear will no longer be available.

The good news is that RedCat Tactical was able to acquire Diamondback Tactical’s remaining inventory and they have been liquidating it on Ebay at really deep discounts. This is very high quality, American made gear that is being sold at prices that are lower than those of cheap, poor quality imported gear. I have already purchased several items and found their communications to be great and their shipping to be very fast.

Darin at RedCat Tactical tells me that they have over 100,000 items on 200 shrink wrapped pallets. They are opening new boxes all the time and are never quite sure what they will find. It’s like Christmas! They have everything from plate carriers, to pouches, to packs, and everything in between. Most of the typical colors are available like Multicam, Coyote Brown, and Ranger Green.

Since new items are being added all the time, the best way to shop is to go to their store page, click the link for all items, and sort on newly listed or you can just click on the following link where I have already done the work for you: RedCat Tactical – Newly Listed Items. I have been checking back daily just to make sure that there isn’t something new that I need.

Deal spotting isn’t really the purpose of Jerking the Trigger, but this was too good not to mention.

Anybody who likes gear should have the Supply Captain website bookmarked. They offer a ton of tactical gear components that are often hard to find in anything other than bulk quantities. They also carry a lot of tactical gear and various other items. Two of their newest items are the redesigned Claymore Pouch which is now made by ATS and Multicam printed Velcro brand loop material.

The Claymore Pouch is an item that Supply Captain has offered for years. They often have it made to their spec by a noted manufacturer of tactical gear. It is now being made by ATS which is definitely a very good thing. This might be one of the most versatile and useful pouches that you will ever come across. It can be attached to a pack, belt, or plate carrier in order to carry essentials or it can be used as a stand alone pouch. The internal organization will keep all of your gear neat and tidy.

The Multicam printed Velcro loop material is something that has been needed for a long time. It often seems that between MOLLE webbing and the Velcro loop fields, there is very little Multicam material actually visible on something like a chest rig or plate carrier. Now more manufacturers are using printed webbing and hopefully they will be using this Velcro loop material as well.

The Ares Armor Combat XII Pack is a backpack that is designed to interface with a plate carrier without the need for shoulder straps. It allows the wearer to carry necessary items like water, spare magazines, and first aid gear on the back of their plate carrier while still being immediately accessible. You can check out all of the features of this innovative pack on the Ares Armor website.

Now there are two new versions of the Combat XII Pack that are exclusive to PredatorBDU.com. These are A-TACs and Multicam packs that feature camo printed webbing that matches the body of the pack. The camo matched webbing makes a great pack even better.
