The Big Frickin Gun Pouch from Shaw Concepts

Sunday, January 21st, 2024

Whether it’s a M240, M249, IAR, M32 or the sort you need to pack out enough to feed it for the duration of your mission / outing. The Big Frickin Gun Pouch (yes inspired by Doom) allows you the versatility to pack out different ammo types easily and then cinch the Shockcord to silence the load from making excessive noise. We also love to use it as a mini buttpack on the back of our belts. If you’re a machine gunner or the sort give it a try.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – FirstSpear Fight Panel is Live!

Friday, January 19th, 2024

Born from a direct request by Tier 1 operators, the Fight Panel is a placard, panel and micro style chest rig, combined. Used in conjunction with the X-Strap (sold separately), this chest rig maximizes 6/12 laser cut technology for weaving pockets and pouches and Tubes Rapid Closure System for quick donning, doffing and reconfiguring.

Affixed hook and loop strips on the back of the removable placard allow for weaving into MOLLE or Laser Cut platforms in order to secure for greater load bearing beyond a standard row of magazines and general purpose pockets. Now available in Multicam and Ranger Green, while supplies last.

Introducing the Second Generation of Lindnerhof’s PA Magazine Pouch Series

Monday, January 15th, 2024

LENGGRIES, GERMANY (12 January 2024) – Lindnerhof-Taktik today introduced the second generation of the PA Magazine Pouch Series.

These updated products come with a wide range of enhancements and adjustments to meet current industry standards. Some of the key innovations include a redesigned construction, alpha tabs on all pouches instead of sewn-on pull handles, and the convenience of adjusting or removing the elastic cord strap on the outside of the pouch without disassembling it.

To improve functionality, the back of the pouches now features MX material with laser-cut slots and slim 20mm PALS straps. This not only reduces the weight of the pouches by approximately 5-10%, but also allows easier mounting, especially on reinforced systems like the Curv belts, compared to the previous 25mm strap.

The pouches with an external MOLLE/PALS system for attaching additional pouches (except for PA004 & PA158) have been upgraded with 20mm straps. This change not only reduces weight compared to the previously used 25mm straps, but also creates a more cohesive look when used with modern systems like the LT042/II plate carrier from Lindnerhof.

Additionally, Lindnerhof-Taktik has made some improvements to the color matrix in order to achieve a more attractive appearance. Previously, the 3fb and 5fb flecktarn versions featured single-colored MOLLE/PALS straps, such as stonegrey on the 5fb flecktarn variant. In the second generation of PA Magazine Pouches, the straps have been replaced with camouflage ones that perfectly match the pattern.

The new generation of the PA Magazine Pouch Series offers a variety of models, including magazine pouches and panels for rifles such as the HK417, multi-caliber pouches, as well as magazine pouches for pistols.

The available models are as follows:

• Double Rifle Magazine Pouch PA001/2

• Single Rifle Magazine Pouch PA002/2

• Double Rifle Magazine Panel PA494/2

• Triple Rifle Magazine Panel PA098/2

• Multicaliber Pouch PA119/II

• Single HK417 Magazine Pouch PA091/2

• Double HK417 Magazine Panel PA093/2

• Single Pistol Mag Pouch PA004-1/II

• Double Pistol Mag Pouch PA004-2/II

• Single MP Magazine Pouch PA158/II

Explore the latest products from Lindnerhof Taktik today and enjoy the improved features and modern design.
