Maker Monday – S&S Precision SMR Dust-E

Monday, December 29th, 2014

Dust-E

Back when we first mentioned the SSP SMR, one of the main criticisms was that the business end of the magazine was exposed. But even then, S&S Precision had already planned a part that would protect the magazine from debris. That part is the SMR Dust-E which snaps into place at the bottom of the Skeletonized Magazine Retention (SMR). The 2-part installation process takes seconds. In addition to serving as a dust cover, the Dust-E offers additional magazine retention. While it is quite a tight fit at first, it will loosen up with a little bit of use.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Ragnar Pocket Series

Friday, December 26th, 2014

In this week’s Friday Focus we’ll take a better look at the Ragnar pocket series which we’ve briefly mentioned in past installments on different platform options such as cummerbunds. By their name you can tell that they were initially envisioned for use with the Ragnar armor vest, but that’s not all they’ll do.

RagnarNewGroup

So far, FirstSpear has introduced several of these pockets which are backed in loop material and attach via hook to various platforms. The pockets include Double and Single Carbine Stretch, Mini Admin and Patrol Radio.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Modular Fight Strap

Friday, December 19th, 2014

The subject of this week’s Friday Focus is the Modular Fight Strap. If you’re a fan of the Fight Strap line you’re going to love the Modular Fight Strap because unlike the various fixed pocket models, you get to set yours up anyway you like.

IMG_0482.JPG

It’s quite versatile. Either side accepts FS 6/9 pockets and standard MOLLE Pockets as well as FS Ultralight 6/12 pockets on the nylon side and even Ragnar pockets on the body side.

Think of it as a preconfigured resupply, whether ammo, med supplies or other items. Basically, it’s a bandoleer. You can work directly from it on the range, toss it over your shoulder or, toss it to a buddy. It can even be used as an expedient chest rig.

Additionally, it can be staged for use within various packs and loadout bags.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Overlap Cummerbund

Friday, December 12th, 2014

For this week’s FirstSpear Friday, we take a look at a brand new product: the Overlap Cummerbund.

FS_Overlap_RagnarPockets

Developed at the request of a FS Professional User, the Overlap Cummerbund is designed to provide additional overlapping soft armor at the front side of the plate carrier where the Tubes closure system meets. The additional soft armor tucks in behind the Tubes allowing full opening and closing of the vest.

The Overlap Cummerbund has been modified so that the body side allows for the attachment of Ragnar Pockets. This means that magazines and other items can be held in close to the body, providing a more streamlined silhouette, a benefit to users who are working in or from a vehicle, conducting tubular assaults, or who simply wish to carry more magazines than a traditional front loading carrier would allow.

FS_overlap009_SIDE

Main Features:

  • Soft armor inserts extend behind the tube and overlap the body of the plate carrier, while still allowing full functionality of the Tube system.
  • Body side of cummerbund now has loop allowing you to attach pockets from the Ragnar Pocket Suite (our full Velcro backed pockets)
  • The back bungee cord has been replaced with Velcro and stretch material.
  • FS_OverlapCummerbundOpen

    The Overlap Cummerbund is going to be offered immediately as an upgrade to existing FirstSpear carriers, such as the Strandhögg, and will offered in limited colors and quantities.
