S&S Precision Introduces the All New Reinforced Gear Retention Track (GRT)

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019

“The next step in the evolution of modular load carriage.”
 

The all new Gear Retention Track™ reinforced adapters features a machined track from 7075 aluminum granting superior retention performance, while still offering the same level of modularity and ease of use found in the GRT™ product line. Recommended to be used in conjunction with all of S&S Precision’s GRT™ weapon retention product offerings. Available Spring 2019.

By design, the Gear Retention Track™ (GRT™) is a simple accessory attachment system. S&S Precision focused on ease of use and function to meet the needs of the modern operator.  The time has come to move past the struggle with clips, Velcro, or weaving straps to remove pockets and pouches while modifying gear. By implementing creative material and design choices, S&S reduced complexity, production cost and improved the operator performance with enhanced accessibility.  The GRT™ product line, integrates seamlessly into the legacy plate carrier system or belt. Whether wearing gear on a carrier or belt, there’s an accessory to meet your operational needs. For those interested in the GRT™ system but would like to use a legacy soft pouch, our GRT™ Webbing Adapter is a simple bolt-on solution compatible with most pouches.

FirstSpear Range Day 19 – Aimpoint ACRO P-1 Optic

Monday, January 21st, 2019

Today was my first chance to shoot with the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 red dot sight for pistols. ACRO stands for Advanced Compact Reflex Optic. Product testing included shock, vibration, temperature span and other environmental stress including 20,000 rounds mounted to a .40 pistol slide.

I found the 3.5 MOA dot easy to acquire and intensity is adjustable via the side mounted buttons. Expect a year’s life from the CR1225.
