It’s That Time of Year Again – Spirit of Blue Wreaths

By Matt on November 21, 2016 in Other

Spirit of Blue Foundation is a charity that grants safety equipment to police agencies in need. They first came to my attention via Blue Force Gear’s efforts to help spread the word about their original fundraiser – the Spirit of Blue Wreath. Well, it’s almost time to hang your Christmas decorations so it’s time to let you know that the wreaths are available once again. $10 from every wreath goes to support Spirit of Blue and will benefit the safety of police officers nationwide. Simply go and order today at http://bit.ly/wreath16.

It has been a particularly heart breaking few days for police officers nation wide. This could be a good way to show your support for the work they do.

Spiritus Systems Micro Fight Chest Rig Goes A La Carte

By Matt on November 21, 2016 in Tactical Gear

At a fancy restaurant, “a la carte” means the asparagus doesn’t come with your steak. You have to pay extra for everything. At Spiritus Systems it means you get to buy what you need and not pay for stuff that you won’t use.

The Spiritus Systems Micro Fight Chest Rig’s modularity is one of the biggest feathers in its cap. It can be configured to serve multiple weapons or be utilized in multiple ways simply by mixing its various components. To that end, Spiritus Systems is no longer selling the Micro Right Chest Rig as a complete, turnkey system. They have moved to an a la carte offering that allows the consumer to purchase only the parts they need.

So, if you are going to use the Micro Fight Chest Rig as a chest rig, you can purchase the chassis, all the straps, and magazine inserts. If you will only ever use it docked on your plate carrier, then you can skip all the straps. If you plan on supporting 7.62 and/or 5.56 chambered rifles, you can purchase the appropriate magazine inserts separately. You get what you need and don’t pay for the components that you don’t need.

You can check out the Micro Fight Chest Rig at Spiritus Systems.

ALG Defense EMR V0-E

By Matt on November 21, 2016 in Guns

ALG Defense has taken the wraps off the newest rail in the excellent Ergonomic Modular Rail (EMR) line – the EMR V0-E.

The EMR line is already very affordable thanks in large part to a design that requires much less machining than typical rails. The EMR V0-E takes that minimal machining idea to a new level. It is nearly a simple cylinder shape save for some venting at the front and subtle machined flats around the circumference of the tube. This allows the EMR V0-E to sell for a scant $80.

The vents on the forward portion of the tube will allow the user to attach the regular V0 rail sections so light and front sight mounting shouldn’t be a problem. The tube also includes a QD sling swivel socket for sling attachment. Other than that, the EMR V0-E is designed for the shooter who doesn’t need to attach a lot to their rail. This could be the ideal rail for hunting and precision applications or simply for a shooter who wants a solid rail on a tight budget.

It is tempting to think we have come full circle back to the days of knurled aluminum free float tubes but that isn’t necessarily the case here. Unlike the simple tubes of years past, the EMR V0-E is fairly light in weight (though obviously not as light as the regular V0), it is fairly small in diameter, and it has a very good barrel nut design which is something that most early tubes lacked.

Check out the EMR V0-E at ALG Defense.

Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit NOW!

By Matt on November 19, 2016 in Uncategorized

If you need a full size trauma kit pouch, look no further than Blue Force Gear’s Trauma Kit NOW! If you need an easy to carry, easy to conceal, compact trauma kit, check out the Trauma Kit NOW!’s new little brother – the Micro Trauma Kit NOW!

The development of the Micro Trauma Kit NOW! has hardly been a secret but now it is actually available for purchase. There are two versions available: MOLLE mount and belt mount. Both versions feature a pull out tray design like their bigger brother. The outer pouch mounts horizontally and is open at either end so that the wearer may access the inner tray from either side. Once clear of the outer pouch, the inner tray can unfold and lay flat to give immediate visual identification and access to all the contained medical components. Alternately, the inner tray may be passed to someone else if needed.

The medical cross insignia on these pouches is laser but into the ULTRAcomp material exterior of the pouch. Each pouch comes with a selection of inserts (black, red, relfective/glow) that will let you customize the appearance of the cross.
