Crye Precision Jumpable Plate Carrier

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The new Crye Jumpable Plate Carrier weighs an astounding one pound. I probably wouldn’t need to tell you anything except Crye and one pound and that would have you but there’s more.

The JPC is all about business and Crye has taken out every non-essential ounce they could find. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t comfortable. Lined with two way stretch, the JPC also features the new Patent Pending MOLLE Lite designed to accommodate PALS equipped patches which span across open space like on the sides of a plate carrier.

Magpul Ronin

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

What started out as a design exercise has turned into a practical work of art. Magpul designers took a Buell 1125R sport bike and decided to keep the parts they loved which included the fuel body, engine, swing arm and frame and develop new parts to complement the design. After Buell shut down last year the project took on the moniker ‘Ronin’ to pay homage to the Samurai warrior without a master.

They developed a new four bar linkage, mono-shock, airbox, and radiator with some sick running light accents.

They knew the project would raise a lot of interest so Magpul set up a website specifically for the project. Visit MagpulRonin.com for all of the inside scoop.

The Kifaru Koala

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Patrick Smith, owner of Kifaru was kind enough to give us a quick, impromptu demonstration of the new Koala. It is extremely versatile, allowing the wearer to rapidly access a handgun yet retain the outward appearance of just another hiker or man on the street.
