Ferro Concepts – GRAB

Thursday, February 19th, 2026

GRAB is a versatile, modular solution designed for end-users who require a discreet, adaptable, and durable carry system. Engineered with mission-specific customization in mind, GRAB integrates seamlessly into both covert and overt operational environments, providing enhanced functionality without compromising on profile or comfort.

I first heard about Ferro Concepts’ GRAB last year at Enforce Tac from some friends in the British Forces who were using them.

At SHOT Show I got a chance to check it out and I’m impressed. The quality is high and it doesn’t come across as a “tactical” bag but rather something you’d see on a young executive heading to work. I’m adapting one for use as my Urban Bag of Doom.

Sized perfectly to fit something the size of like, say a SIG Rattler, GRAB also has from for “extras” which can be organized thanks to an internal Velcro field and Removable Interior Thermoplastic Composite MOLLE Insert. In addition to zippered compartments for documents the front flap features a Fidloc closure.

Offered in Black and Graphite.

Mystery Ranch Announces Carry Forward Line at SHOT Show 26

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026

As the long-standing leader in military load carriage, MYSTERY RANCH designs and builds packs for the mission and they haven’t stopped.

At SHOT Show, the brand introduced Carry Forward, a collection that reflects an important and intentional evolution but remains rooted in the brand’s core. Rather than a departure from MYSTERY RANCH’s military DNA, Carry Fordward is an extension of it.

The Carry Forward collection exists because proven designs don’t lose relevance when the uniform comes off. You’ll see some familiar silhouettes, styles that have been trusted by mission users for years. Some will exhibit expanded color offerings while other designs have been refined for this new role. All feature a common thread; these are the packs MYSTERY RANCH believes in enough to keep building, supporting, and evolving.

Two products in particular stood out.

The Blitz 30 returns with redesign, shifting away from overt external PALS webbing toward a sleeker exterior. Modularity hasn’t been removed, it’s been moved inside. Internal PALS and hook-and-loop fields allow users to configure their load without advertising it, a smart update that reflects how many people actually use these packs today.

The newest addition is the Rip Ruck 24, built around the same proven Rip-Zip opening that made the original successful. What’s changed is restraint. Cleaner lines, simplified external pocketing, and a more streamlined profile make it a quieter, more refined version of a pack that already worked.

The Carry Forward collection isn’t about chasing trends or compromising capability. It’s about recognizing that the best designs don’t need to be reinvented, just respected, refined, and carried into what comes next.
