New Maxpedition Mini Tactical Chest Rig

The new Maxpedition Mini Tactical Chest Rig was shown at this year’s SHOT Show and now it is available for purchase. It is another Maxpedition/Extreme Gear Labs (Eggroll, EGL) collaboration. I suspect that this will be a big seller. It has a lot of features that I find desirable in a chest rig – light weight (12.8 ounces!), simple 3 mag design, plenty of PALS webbing (not that you have to fill it), and wide straps without padding (which I prefer). The price makes this especially attractive at less than $60.

Check out the Mini Tactical Chest Rig at Maxpedition’s website.

Issues with the US Palm AK30 Magazines

Don’t put your old reliable Eastern European metal mags or Bulgarian Waffles in storage just yet. There have been some teething issues with the new US Palm AK30 mags. I don’t think it is time to give up on these mags yet, but there have been some major issues in the form of cracked feed lips.

You can’t help but root for a US manufacturer of AK products. Hopefully, I will be able to report here soon that a new improved mag with all the bugs worked out is available. We are pulling for you US Palm.

AK Matt at AK47 Talk has been covering the issues HERE and HERE.

TOOOL Credit Card Pickset

Lock picking can be a very useful skill to have. It requires practice, finesse, practice, the right tools, and more practice. You can’t buy practice or finesse but you can buy tools. TOOOL has designed a particularly clever set of lock picking tools called the TOOOL Credit Card Pickset.

This clever credit card sized piece of metal contains an entire pickset complete with picks, rakes, and tension wrenches (the frame). There are two versions which are both available at the link. V2.0 looks like the pick of the liter.

DisclaimerJerking the Trigger does not advocate using these for anything illegal. Never pick a lock that the owner has not given permission for you to pick. Check your local laws before carrying these tools.

ITS Tactical recently posted an article that may be of some help when trying to determine which, if any, MREs to purchase.
