Multitasker®, specialty makers of weaponcentric multitools, is proud to announce the latest addition to our product line: the patent pending NANO2, a tiny 1-pc tool for pistol RDS adjustment.

Utilizing the same micro form factor as the original NANO, which is designed for carbine optics and aiming lasers, the new NANO2 features a narrow slotted screwdriver tip on one end and a T10 Torx on the other. Compatible with the Aimpoint ACRO P1/P2, all Holosun sights (including the new EPS), Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Steiner MPS, Trijicon RMR/SRO. Also works with the NGAL as well as the new DUTY RDS from Aimpoint.

Made from 420 stainless steel with a tough Melonite finish, the NANO2 occupies the same exact footprint as the original NANO, and thus will be compatible with the patented SpaceFrame docking slot feature found on the upcoming Gen3 MagPod monopod baseplate for M3 PMAGs.

In addition to the built-in lanyard hole, the NANO2 includes a replacement baseplate for the factory Glock 17/19 magazine that features the same SpaceFrame docking system as the Gen3 MagPod, allowing you the option of securely carrying the tool onboard your duty pistol. With its contoured thumb disc, you can easily remove or dock the NANO2 to the magazine even while wearing gloves, with the SpaceFrame providing a positive “click” to indicate secure retention.

MSRP: $24.95, including 1 replacement baseplate.

Available April 2022 via select Multitasker dealers. For more information please visit: thenanotool.com

Ridgeline Defense just released its new HOGleash rifle sling. It’s a 2-point adaptive rifle sling with three key features designed for the needs of the precision rifleman.

The adaptable sling is a collaboration with Edger Sherman Designs and includes an integrated snap-shackle and a custom-made, carbon fiber inline rifle support.

“When I was going through the USMC SOTG Urban Sniper Course, we were using our old issued cuff slings for the M40s,” says Ridgeline Defense’s Alex Hartmann. “We would attach the cuff to our belt, but it wouldn’t adjust very well. So, one weekend, I worked with a rigger to modify an OG Viking tactics V-Tac sling to work better. When I went back to class the next week, I was performing better.”

Over time and deployments, Hartmann kept modifying that sling until it was what he wanted. Then, as lead instructor at Ridgeline Shooting, he wanted to make a finished, production version that the company could provide to students who ask what the training cadre uses and why they use it.

The snap shackle is used to apply tension to a supported rifle when attached to your beltline. With the rifle on a tripod or other support, and the sling attached to the front of the rifle, snap the shackle to any available loop on your beltline to apply tension and stabilize your shooting position. The snap shackle offers one-handed operation that’s faster and easier to use than a carabiner for quick set up and breakdown of bulit shooting positions. When not in use, the snap shackle is captured by an accessory loop, so it stays out of the way.

The inline rear support is made of a carbon fiber-composite material and displaces the weight and bulk of a rear bag, providing rifle stability that’s always with you. It’s also a great place to tape a DOPE card.

Once installed and adjusted properly, a gliding adjuster allows the sling to adapt to any shooting position and cinches down to secure the rifle to your body for fast-roping, climbing, rappelling, and dynamic movement.

The HOGleash has no free ends to trip you up, is made from 1-inch nylon webbing and features high-quality ITW Nexus findings and is compatible with any sling attachment hardware, including QD attachments, HK hooks, and sling loops.

The HOGleash is Berry Act compliant, available in black, green, tan, MultiCam, is proudly made in New Hampshire, costs $120, carries a lifetime warranty, and is available now from Ridgeline.
