Grey Ghost Gear JED Bail Out Bag

By Matt on August 7, 2014 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

Grey Ghost Gear’s new JED Bail Out Bag is now available. This is a compact bag that is designed to fit in tight spaces yet still carry a large, well organized load of gear.

The exterior bag has a massive loop field that is large enough for more than just ID patches. It can be used to mount Velcro backed accessories like holsters and magazine pouches. Each end is capped with a flap covered pouch.

The main compartment is secured with a full length zipper to give easy access. The interior features several mesh pockets and elastic organization.

The JED Bail Out Bag comes with a shoulder strap with removable pad.

Tactical Arm Brace

This is what happens when you send a gear maker home from surgery with a poorly made arm brace. Dave at Fight and Flight Tactical hasn’t met a problem he can’t solve with the skillful application of Cordura and thread.

Cdh-Tac Finland Makes World’s Cutest Dump Pouch

By Matt on August 6, 2014 in Tactical Gear

Can dump pouches be cute? This one that Cdh-Tac Finland made for their personal use is kind of cute I guess. I mean look at it. It’s so little and it’s even trying to act tough by posing next to those cigarettes…

Seriously though, this little guy serves a purpose. I have found that many dump pouches are larger than what I really need and take up more PALS real eastate than I prefer. This one (it really needs a name) folds into a very compact 2 column by 2 row package when not in use and unfolds into a pouch large enough to hold 3 primary mags. It also features a mesh bottom which is a nice addition.

There is no indication that Cdh-Tac Finland will be producing these but, given that they are a custom gear maker, I am sure that you could twist their arm for a fair price. I personally hope they put it into their regular line-up.

V7 Cam Pin

By Matt on August 6, 2014 in Guns

A handful of companies have targeted the AR-15’s cam pin for improvements over the years with varied success. V7’s approach is simpler than most. They start with 4340 steel, heat treat to 43 Rockwell, and the Melonite treat it for durability and corrosion resistance.

The top of the V7 Cam Pin is scalloped and well rounded to allow for less bearing surface and smoother function. The very hard and smooth Melonite treatment should also help here. This is a simpler approach than the rollers that some have used. I can’t say whether you will see measurable benefits from such a part but the concept is certainly interesting.

Of course, as a reader of this blog, it should come as no surprise to you that the V7 Cam Pin is also a bit lighter than a standard cam pin. The scalloped top and a machine indent on the bottom reduce the weight ever so slightly. Making things lighter is what V7 Weapon Systems does. However, the lighter weight isn’t really the point here and they don’t really tout it.

Check out the V7 Cam Pin.
