Mountain Ridge Gear

I came across Mountain Ridge Gear recently. They make some extremely interesting gear right here in the USA. The quality looks great and the prices are very reasonable.

The Tactical Man Purse looks especially interesting. There is some serious functionality built into these bags. I especially like the mesh interior pockets and the “pull-out” pocket (ala Kifaru). The exterior looks somewhat low profile even though there is some PALS webbing on on one side.

Eric at Mountain Ridge Gear has graciously agreed to loan me a Tactical Man Purse for review. Stay tuned for the upcoming review.

Surefire KX-4

The Surefire G2L is getting an upgrade. The Surefire G2L has become popular for weapon mounting thanks to it’s quality at a reasonable price and light weight. It is also a popular carry light among those who see the value in carrying a light daily.

Now, with the release of the KX4 conversion head, Surefire is increasing the output to an impressive 120 lumens while still delivering decent battery life. There is also a crenellated version called the KX4D.

Battle Comp – A Comp Without the Blast?

Traditionally, there have been issues with using compensators (comps) on rifles that are used in military, police, and defensive roles. Comps tend to increase the blast that can be heard and felt by the shooter and those around them. This is a very bad thing for those working in team situations. Also, the blast from a comp can be deafening indoors. There have been several comps introduced in the last couple of years that minimize the noise that is directed to the shooter but are still quite loud to those around the shooter. This is an improvement but still isn’t ideal.

The Battle Comp from Battle Comp Enterprises claims to have changed all that and they have some pretty impressive reviews to back it up. They appear to have created a comp that can reduce flash to a level similar to the A2 flash suppressor and reduce muzzle flip greatly without increasing concussive blast to the shooter or those around the shooter. The decreased muzzle flip should will allow faster follow-up shots while the lack of blast increase makes this viable for military, police, and defensive use. This is an important advancement for AR-15 muzzle devices.

Bargain Bokers – VoxKnives Gnome and Rhino

Boker has slated a ton of excellent looking collaboration knives to be released in 2010. Two of the more interesting knives (at least to me) are the VoxKnives designed Gnome and Rhino. VoxKnives is run by Jesper Voxnaes in Denmark. Jesper has a very recognizable style and tends to create very utilitarian designs.

The Gnome is a small neck knife. It has a small 2 finger grip and comes with a kydex neck sheath. It would make a great little EDC (every day carry) knife or a back up to a larger knife. It features a 12C27 blade, full tang construction, and green canvas micarta scales with red spacers. I have seen street prices on these as low as $16!

The Rhino is larger than the Gnome but still a very compact knife. It is designed more as an outdoors knife than an EDC. It also features a 12C27 blade and full tang construction. The handle slabs are black micarta with red liners. Street price is $40-$45.

Both of these designs are now at retailers. I am not sure how Boker does it, but these are a great value.
