The new GRT Adapter allows most pouches to be used with the SSP Gear Retention Track. Additionally, the mounting plate can accept most pistol magazine pouches for use as a double pistol magazine pouch. One application that I really like is that the GRT mounting plate is compatible with Safariland’s single injection molded pistol magazine pouch. I really like it. Naturally, it works with virtually any other soft pistol/rifle mag pouch as well.
Materials:
• Machined 6061 GRT adapter
• Plastic mounting plate

Thanks for posting this. I was trying to make sense of it from the pictures on the website yesterday.
Can we have “tech Tuesdays” for digital stuff like smartphone apps, non crypto and sensitive radios / software, GPS etc?
Would love to
F yes. Well done, S&S. This is where I was hoping you guys would take the GRT design.
Is this compatible with any MOLLE pouch, or just the ones that have more webbing on the back like HSGI and Tactical Tailor?
Nice! Another great product from another Made in the USA company. We are humbled that S&S incorporated the TACO into their system.
Sweet design.
Is it just me or am I missing how the adapter and mounting plate attach to the pouches themselves? To me it looks like you have to screw through the webbing. Am I totally off base here? I couldn’t find a better explanation on their site either.
That’s what it looks like to me as well. Looks like a cool system though.
+1. A destructive solution seems like a misstep in what’s evolving into a fantastic system.
Only saying that because the Holster Extender is working out VERY nicely.
Agreed, I’d like to hear/see more on how to attach tacos and similar pouches.
I’m genuinely trying to understand, and I fail to see the advantage these bring. This seems to be completely opposite to the rugged-yet-lightweight approach that’s been coming from companies like BFG or First Spear or more conservatively Crye or Mayflower.
Polymers are heavier, bulkier, can break on impact and are generally noisier.
Please break it down to me.
Point is quick detach and interchange capability for differing mission configs. Also S&S could answer this better but a lot of their gear is made with maritime use mind, which polymers work very well and don’t retain water.
Quick detach… I don’t see this weight/bulk/etc as I mentioned above being a reasonable tradeoff when there are options like QD chest rigs (à la BFG) or panels (à la Mayflower) that are more configurable, lighter, and not proprietary.
But on maritime stuff, you’ve got a good point. I can see this being effective in that context. I just don’t see marketing towards that.
