ALG Defense AK Trigger Update

By on December 30, 2014 in Guns

ALG Defense, the sister company of Geissele Automatics which is run by Amy Geissele, stirred up quite a bit of excitement with a preview of their upcoming AK trigger. Since that initial post on the trigger, I have found new details regarding the trigger.

There will be two different types of AK triggers available from ALG Defense. The first variation will be a standard trigger that will retail for $49. The second variation will have a shorter and lighter trigger pull that Bill Geissele states will be similar to the Geissele Automatics SD3G trigger. The SD3G is known for its rolling break and very fast reset which leads to split times around 1/10th of a second in the hands of skilled users. It will retail for around $75.

You can expect to see both triggers at SHOT Show in the Geissele Automatics/ALG Defense booth and, notably, at the SHOT Show range day media event. That means these are far along enough in development that there will be working triggers available to try in February. That is exciting news.

WTF Integrated Admin Commo Pouch

By on December 30, 2014 in Tactical Gear

The new Integrated Admin Commo Pouch from Whiskey Two-Four packs some fresh ideas. It is a pouch designed to carry a radio and typical “admin” items. The pictures shown are of a final sample, not a production piece, so there may be changes to the design.

The integrated approach to the design of this pouch is very interesting. While the pouch may appear bulky, it actually saves space in some clever ways. The admin pocket on the front is place there to serve as a form of additional padding/protection for the radio which is mounted in the pocket behind it so the potential weight and bulk of heavy padding is not necessary. The admin pouch is also a logical place to store additional batteries for the radio. It is a marriage of function that makes solid sense.

The laser cut Hypalon ports found on this pouch are also extremely interesting and could see wide ranging application beyond just this pouch. One application that has already been mentioned is as a non-metallic grommet replacement for pouch drainage.

It will be interesting to see how these ideas can be built on and applied in new ways. Stay tuned for news about a group who is already trying to do just that.

Blue Force Gear Wallet – New Colors

By on December 30, 2014 in EDC

The Blue Force Gear has expanded the color offerings of their wallet to include OD Green and Wolf Grey (along with the original Multicam). This wallet is made from the same ULTRAcomp material that you’ll find in much of their gear lineup.

The original Multicam wallets didn’t stay in stock for long so you may want to grab your favorite color quickly. Check out the BFG Wallet.

Arisaka 300 Series Light Body

By on December 30, 2014 in Flashlights, Guns

IMG_2681_largeArisaka’s new 300 Series Light Body offers a more streamlined alternative to the original light body that is included with the light. They reduced the bulk of the mounting interface to only what is necessary to work with aftermarket light mounts which tend to hold the light closer to the rail. This clears out space around the light, providing clearance for items like your front sight. This is especially important when the light will be used on an offset light mount that holds the light very close to the rail.

The availability of this body also opens up the possibility of building your own light from components including those from Malkoff Devices.
