High Capacity Magazine pockets are available directly from SureFire for both the 60 and 100 round variants but only in Coyote. Many have been asking for pockets in other colors so SureFire authorized FirstSpear (their manufacturer) to offer them. PALS compatible and available in Black, Khaki, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.
MATBOCK LLC is a burgeoning company that you will hear lots more of in the future. After our article the other day on the BE Meyers IZLID, we thought it would be a capital idea to introduce our readers to MATBOCK for a great option for actually carrying the thing. Remember, an IZLID resembles maybe a flashlight or a light saber, so some JTACs use slap flare pouches but this is WAY better. Rather than some makeshift, it’s actually designed for use with the IZLID and allows the user to quickly place it into action. You pull up on the IZLID to pull it from the pouch and then the cap falls free. When it’s in its pouch the bungeed cap keeps tension on the IZLID, holding it in place. Simple.
The IZLID is currently available in three flavors; 200P, 1000 and Ultra. MATBOCK offers a pouches for the 1000 which is currently the workhorse. They are working with BE Meyers on a solution for the Ultra.
The IZLID pouch is available with two attachment systems. One is Velcro and designed to fit under the cummerbund flap at the front of the armor. The other version is naturally, MOLLE compatible. Available in Desert Digital, MultiCam, UCP and Coyote from 500D Cordura. Made in USA!
S.O.TECH has a long history or working with law enforcement to push the envelope in tactical gear design. This time they’ve worked with LAPD, LASD, and Orange County Sheriffs Dept (CA) to create the MACTAC (Multi-Assault Counter-Terrorism Action Capabilities) as a way to respond to multiple violent assaults and/or terrorist acts. MACTAC was inspired by the tactical dilemmas posed by the Mumbai assault and active shooter incidents like Columbine.
“LAPD is in the process of developing supplemental courses to help supervisors and team leaders apply the MACTAC concept during critical field incidents.” – LAPD Official website
The kit includes the Mission Pack Micro, the Helmet Mesh Adapter, and the Rapid Response Bandolier with add-on items also available. The concept is, everything you need for any engagement in a single package, with hard plate coverage, helmet, ID patches, and an extra 120 rounds of ammunition. The pack also offers additional room for food and water, extra weapons/ammunition/holsters, an IFAK med kit and other mission-specific gear.
MACTAC training is rapidly becoming a top priority for a variety of agencies nationwide in 2012 and this new kit from S.O.TECH will support your requirements.
For Law Enforcement Agency Representatives interested in MACTAC, email jim@specopstech.com or julieb@specopstech.com to learn more about the program.

The Bushnell 3 Gun competition belt system is an interesting take on the gun belt. There is no buckle to snag but rather relies on a Velcro wrap.
