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.

Blue Force Gear – ÖTZI Belt Pouch System

Wednesday, February 4th, 2026

This is really more of a sneak peek but it’s got such a great backstory that I’ve got to share it. Tucked in a corner on a shelf in the Blue Force Gear booth at SHOT Show was a pouch with a belt running through its attachment system. Behind it was a brochure with the name ÖTZI Belt Pouch System.

From the brochure:
The naming of Blue Force Gear’s new belt pouch innovation was inspired by Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old Copper Age traveler discovered in the Alps and proclaimed the oldest and best-pre-served, naturally mummified human ever documented. Preserved in glacial ice, Otzi was found wearing a modular belt outfitted with equipment like a knife sheath, food/medicine pouch, and fire-start-ing kit. It stands as the earliest known example of a tactical belt, a testament to how long warriors have trusted a well-built waist rig to keep mission-critical gear exactly where it needs to be.

With attachments designed to accommodate their Law Enforcement Duty Belts and BFG CHLK /GRID / ISH Belts, there two mounting options. Molded belt loops for more traditional belts and direct attachment plate for belts with mounting holes. Both use nuts and bolts to secure the pouch and attachment together. In the case of the mounting plate option, it’s going to be a very low profile system.

SHOT Show 26 – Expandable Jump Bag Medium from Ferro Concepts

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026

Ferro Concept’s booth was packed with visitors as well as new products. One that it is ready to go and can be put into service quickly with MFF jumpers is the Expandable Jump Bag – Medium.

For many years, military freefall jumpers have placed their armor, load carriage, and packs within a jump bag to help streamline their bodies and avoid hazards from equipment being hung up while inside or exiting the aircraft. This can also help protect equipment on landing. One item that generally remains handy is the individual weapon. Ferro Concept took on the challenge to create a new bag which can be expanded, via a spiral zipper, as needed to contain the jumper’a individual equipment.

As you can see, the interior is quite large and has ample space for the individual’s vest and pack. The foam is not used operationally but rather to maintain the form of the bag while empty for exhibition. Straps on the exterior allow the jumper to cinch the bag tight around the load.

Here you can see how the jumper’s weapon attaches to the Jump Bag. It can quickly be removed and placed into action.

It attaches to the Equipment D Ring via snap shackles (Pelican Clips).

Once on terra firma, the Jump Bag will contain the parachute and harness as well as any other air items for either turn-in or caching prior to transitioning to overland movement. It incorporates shoulder straps.

I’ll wrap this up by pointing out that the product’s name indicates there are other sizes in the works and we’ll cover those once they are available.
