TangoDown BG-18 Reduced Angle Grip

By Matt on February 12, 2015 in Guns

TangoDown has announced the imminent release of their BG-18 Reduced Angle Grip. It has many of the great features of their well known BG-16 and BG-17 grips including excellent texture and rounded, hand filling shape but with a more vertical grip angle. It also fills in a bit behind the receiver to promote better trigger finger placement.

If you have read JTT for long, you know that I prefer AR-15 grips that are more vertical in angle. This type of grip is more comfortable when the weapon side arm is tucked in close to the body and when you are just keeping your weapon side hand on the grip while the rifle is hanging from a sling in front of you.

The BG-18 will retail for less than $20! Given TangoDown’s track record with their previous grips and that price, I suspect this grip will be a winner. It is not available yet but you can check out TangoDown’s other grips in the mean time.

Silencerco NFA EasyTrust

By Matt on February 12, 2015 in Guns

I am automatically skeptical of most of the NFA trusts that are sold online. A trust is a legal document/entity that, while not rocket surgery to build, is going to be the legal means of holding some of your most highly regulated and expensive possessions. I want to know its going to be right. Thankfully, Silencerco has stepping into the fray with their NFA EasyTrust offering.

The EasyTrust is a properly prepared gun trust offered by Silencerco, a company who knows a thing our two about NFA items. “It enables the use of NFA-regulated firearms and accessories among trustees, protects against potential future regulatory restrictions, and provides for the orderly transition of ownership upon death. It also tends to speed up the process for obtaining NFA items, eliminating the need for a Chief Law Enforcement Officer’s signature, fingerprints cards, etc. ”

The EasyTrust is 50-state legal and costs $129.99 which is more than some DIY trust options but less expensive than going to a lawyer who knows something about firearm specific trusts. It is quite affordable and very easy.

Customized PMAGs from Sage Dynamics

By Matt on February 11, 2015 in Guns

Magpul’s PMAGs are pretty solid magazines but I have always felt that they were a bit lacking… If only they came with pithy saying emblazoned on the side. One man had the vision (and good taste in tactical footwear) to make that happen. Aaron Cowen of Sage Dyanmics is offering pre-orders for three different PMAG designs (see the image below). I could tell you the graphics will help you ID your magazines more easily in training situations but we all know this mostly just for fun… and also for looking cool on social media.

Pre-orders will only be open for another week, then the magazines go into production. Check out the customized PMAGs from Sage Dynamics.

OV Innovations Under Pack Belt

By Matt on February 11, 2015 in Tactical Gear

I have learned the hard way that any belt worn under a pack’s hip belt should be as thin as possible and as uniform in thickness as possible. If it is thick or there are bulges like a buckle or even a smaller hardware like a slider, you run the risk of developing a nasty hot spot that will make you miserable in short order. This is why OV Innovations created their Under Pack (UP) Belt.

This belt is designed to be low profile and work without hardware. It is purpose built to hold your pants up without slowing you down with hot spots when worn under a pack. You might find that it works well under a “battle” belt as well.
