High Threat Concealment recently put the Velocity Systems Scarab Light through its paces.
Reports are it was great and worked well with the HTC belt rig.

While S&S Precision certainly surprised us with Performance Denim, they did tell us awhile back that they were working on new items that work with the Skeletonized Magazine Retention introduced earlier this year. The SMR wasn’t the thing but rather a component in a system.
The Gear Retention Track (GRT), allows the user to accessorize their load out in virtually any configuration. The Gear Retention Track consists of three different track systems: The GRT – Belt, GRT – Webbing, and the GRT – Base Plate.
The Gear Retention Track – Belt, is a polymer belt adapter that comes with the Multi Belt Stabilizer. This stabilizer is what allows you to use the GTR with a variety of widths of belts. Specifically, 2.25”, 1.75”, and 1.50”. To change the size of the opening for the belt, place the Belt Adapter face up and push down until the Multi Belt Stabilizer pops out of place. You can then rotate the Stabilizer to either 1.75” or 1.50”. Weight – 1.4 ounces.
The Gear Retention Track – Webbing is a two piece, polymer construction that weighs 1.6 ounces. The GRT – MOLLE easily snaps and locks into place in your MOLLE webbing. Weave the two top locking tabs behind the MOLLE webbing. Once installed, place the bottom half behind the MOLLE as well and push up until you hear a click. This now gives the operator different configurations as to where they attach accessories and how many accessories they want (PALS/MOLLE compatible).
The Gear Retention Track – Base Plate has three built in tracks. The Base Plate can be attached to the S&S Precision PlateFrame with the Plate Frame Adapter. Constructed out of a water resistant material, the adapter allows the GRT – Base Plate to securely mount to the Plate Frame. The GRT – Base Plate is also available in a kangaroo insert version which utilizes Velcro on the front of the three SMR’s that come with the GRT – Kangaroo Insert Kit, and Velcro on the back of the Base Plate. Weight – 5.6 oz
S&S Precision’s Skeletonized Magazine Retention Utilizes the GRT to attach to the operator’s equipment. The SMR is a lightweight and low profile system to carry 5.56 magazines. It has built in retention to keep the magazine from coming out without the use of bungie or a flap. Optimizing the performance of the operator by allowing faster reloads while still retaining safety by keeping the magazine in place where it belongs. The SMR weighs 1.45 oz.
Look for additional GRT accessories coming out in the next few weeks.

The Micro Kit is a smaller scale model of the already compact Mini Kit MK-7 pouch. Made from 1000D ballistic nylon, the Micro Kit was created to carry the bare minimum EDC items when cargo or BDU pants aren’t an option. Sized to fit inside a standard blue jean back pocket, it can be considered a real ‘gray man’ inclined piece of kit. The external field loop panel allows for ID or morale patches.
The quick access clam shell opening can accommodate either a Samsung Galaxy 5 or iPhone 4, 5, or 6, while allowing for manipulation of the phone through the clear plastic window. Modularity is key with the Micro Kit, as through its retention straps and pockets it can carry all manner of EDC items:
– Micro multi tools
– Knives
– Pens
– Cash
– Credit cards and IDs
– Micro first aid kits
– Micro SERE kits
– Etc.
Available for pre-order on 20$Bandit’s website. The first 100 Micro Kits are running for a special introductory “early bird” price.

cool news from Germany
LUPUS Training & Mentoring Resources, a training and consulting company from Germany, is introducing the first two modules of their TAP System. Developed together with Mayflower R&C and their German retail partner Gearmaniacs, the TAPS Modules are designed to offer a hybrid kydex-nylon solution for users that prefer the use of kangaroo pouches in their platecarriers.
TAPS is compatible with most kangaroo pouch equipped Platecarriers but is optimized for products made by Mayflower R&C and Velocity Systems. TAPS facilitates magazine extraction since there is no flap or bungee needed for retention. The modules are velcroed into position and are ready to use. Installed properly, they enable the user to carry up to four AR-style magazines and two pistol magazines in a small package.
The first Modules are Single AR15 and Single G36/Double AR15.
Available via Gearmaniacs in black and made in Germany from German Mil-Spec Materials by manufacturer ZentauroN. A Berry Compliant version of the TAPS will be released soon along with Pistol\Flashlight and Baton Pouches. There are also Combo Versions planned.
