Grey Ghost Gear Deploys RRS Transport Bag

Tuesday, April 16th, 2019

Lakewood, WA

April 16, 2019

Grey Ghost Gear is proud to announce the release of the RRS Transport Bag; the “go-bag” revolutionized. The “bail-out bag” legitimized. The “Bag of Doom” optimized and essentialized. The…

Well, you get it. The RSS Bag was originally developed at the behest of several LEOs and First Responders from a cross-section of agencies in a large metropolitan area. They needed a go-bag with a slimmer profile and superior interior organization; we delivered the RRS Transport Bag. Grey Ghost Gear has been building best tactical gear available for years now. Everything we do is based on what the end user needs or wants, all of it designed and deployed at improbably stupid speed – the RSS Transport Bag is no different.

The RRS Transport Bag is the ideal size for storing in a vehicle, either behind or under the seats. Should you need to rapidly react to a critical situation, the RRS Transport Bag can be easily grabbed and brought into the fight.

The main compartment has ample room for a handgun or even a folded PDW/SBR, along with additional magazines, medical supplies, food/water, and other essentials. One wall has two zippered mesh pockets for organization, while the opposite side has a loop panel for attaching a hook-backed holster or pouch, as well as six elastic loops that are perfect for pistol magazines, flashlights, and other similarly shaped items.

On the exterior, both ends feature generously sized pouches with hook and loop and buckle closures to keep the contents secure…even when you’re at full speed. For those times that extended social work is required, we’ve put five rifle mag-sized elastic loops inside the flap pocket. These are also ideal for keeping a couple of tourniquets at the read. Adjustable (and removable) shoulder straps or dual carry handles are available to meet whatever carry style you, your equipment, and your mission demand.

The RRS Transport Bag is constructed from 500D Cordura® Nylon and is available in a vast array of colors to suit every need. As long as your needs are Black, Ranger Green, or Tan. Now is the perfect time to get one too – everything on the site is 15% off with free shipping and we’re giving away Turnout Bags with purchases of $100 or more too.

GGG builds equipment for every conceivable mission.

1985–SureFire Model 310

Tuesday, April 16th, 2019

Released under a new brand name, SureFire, the Model 310 Tactical Light was the first dedicated handgun-mounted WeaponLight. It provided a rugged and reliable source of high-intensity light that could be conveniently mounted to a Colt 1911 pistol. At a staggering 15 lumens and powered by a single 123A lithium battery, the Model 310 featured two switches: A handgrip Pressure Switch activated the light as long as pressure was applied, while an On/Off Switch on the left side of the housing activated the light until the Off switch was pressed. Once again, a SureFire product created a new genre in tactical gear.

Ruger Announces Six New PC Carbine Models

Monday, April 15th, 2019

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is excited to introduce six new PC Carbine™ configurations including three free-float handguard models chambered in the popular 9mm Luger and three standard models offered in the highly anticipated .40 S&W chambering. These new PC Carbine models are offered in varying magazine capacity and threaded barrel configurations to ensure multi-state availability.

With improved utility for home defense and competition, the 9mm free-float handguard models feature a hard-coat anodized aluminum handguard with Magpul® M-LOK® accessory attachment slots on all four sides for easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible accessories. The appeal of the popular PC Carbine is further broadened with new models designed to accept the powerful .40 S&W cartridge.

All of these new models boast the hallmark features of the original PC Carbine. Uniquely designed for use with a variety of magazines, the PC Carbine has an easily interchangeable magazine well system that allows the rifle to accept common Ruger® and newer Glock® magazines. The PC Carbine also features a dead blow action with a custom tungsten weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise.

Similar to the popular 10/22 Takedown® rifle, the PC Carbine is designed for quick separation of the barrel/forend assembly from the action for ease of transportation and storage. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back and verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart.

The rifles also feature a reversible magazine release and charging handle to accommodate right- or left-handed shooters. The bolt is machined from heat-treated, chrome-moly steel to ensure strength, structural integrity and durability. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easier cleaning, and some models feature a threaded muzzle to allow for use of standard muzzle accessories.

The accurate sighting system features a barrel-mounted, ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight. The durable, glass-filled nylon synthetic stock features a soft rubber buttpad with spacers to allow the rifle to be adjusted for different sized shooters or varying levels of outerwear.

The PC Carbine ships with the SR-Series™ magazine well installed and an additional magazine well that accepts newer Glock® magazines. A 9mm Ruger American® Pistol magazine well is available separately at ShopRuger.com.

“This win was particularly special to me because it was my first time competing at the USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals as a member of Team SIG,” began Horner. “Heading into the three day competition I had two goals, first to bring home a win for Team SIG, and second to showcase the elite performance of the wide range of SIG SAUER products.
