LineOneCerakote_Black_6547

For this week’s Friday Focus, FirstSpear has announced that they are now selling their Line One Belts with Cerakote buckles. The Line One Belt takes its name from an old NSW term for first level clothing or gear. It is constructed of urethane-covered nylon, a strong and weather-resistant material which won’t crack, peel, or stiffen in frigid temperatures. The belt also flexes like leather, yet is impervious to sweat and water, and won’t stretch or lose its original shape.

ACS – The Trigger Pouch

Thursday, December 10th, 2015

Cat_407338_2

I first checked out ACS’ Trigger Pouch at MiliPol while walking around with the guys from Knight’s Armamemnt. It is a PALS-mountable, quick-deployment device for grenades and distraction devices such as flashbangs, developed by two operatives from the Israeli elite counter terror unit YAMAM and manufactured by Advanced Combat Solutions. It secures the grenade or distraction device within its housing, where it can be quickly pulled away and deployed in one swift, fluid motion.

The Trigger Pouch is currently available for the M67 frag grenade and CTS/CTI & Safariland Flashbangs, with other grenades.  Trey Knight got a sample which he plans on using during his next grenade throw day at the range.

This bag can be hand carried via the reinforced-webbing handles or shoulder carried via the 1.5″-webbing shoulder strap. Eight D-rings, one at each corner, further enables the bag to be customized for backpack-style carrying.

Flagrant Beard – Flagrant Leather Ballistic Belt

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015

BELT-B-510x600

The Flagrant Leather Ballistic Belt was born of a requirement for a casual-looking belt that had the rigidity and stiffness required of a special plain-clothes Law Enforcement division. It is made of full-grain leather sewn to heavy nylon SCUBA webbing, and features an articulated curve and threaded rivets for the use of interchangeable buckles. Oh, and did we mention that it’s hand-made by the Amish?
