September 17th, 2013Ares Gear Announces Aegis Belts
September 17th, 2013Ares Gear has announced the Aegis Enhanced, the first offering in the Aegis family of belts.
With a 4oz stainless steel buckle, and the same proprietary scuba webbing that you’ve all grown to know and love, the Aegis Enhanced is easier to thread (only one tail!), lower-profile both visually and physically, and has only one moving part in the buckle. The buckle is a very beefy version of the roll pin buckle used on military dress belts and unlike anything else out there.
Now, here’s the catch; the Aegis belts on their website are a VERY limited run (the last of the machined buckles). Production buckles will be MIM (Metal Injection Molded), so the ones available for purchase now are the same type used by weartesters.
Once these are gone, Ares doesn’t anticipate having more Aegis belts for sale until 2014 (unless they make that MIM mold REALLY fast), so get one early.

SureFire Releases 600 Lumen Dedicated Shotgun Forend
September 17th, 2013
SureFire has completely re-invented its Dedicated Shotgun Forend WeaponLights. The new DSF-Series Shotgun Forend models are the latest addition to SureFire’s class of integrated weapon-mounted lights and feature an ultra-high-output of 600 lumens on its high setting and 200 lumens on its lower setting. Additional features include a precision reflector, ambidextrous switching, and sleek high-impact polymer that is textured for a secure grip in any tactical situation.
The new Dedicated Shotgun Forend models are designed to replace the factory forends on the Remington 870, Mossberg 500/590, Winchester Defender 1300, SPX and Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal (FNH) P-12, Benelli M1 Super 90 and M2 models. No permanent modification to host weapon is necessary for installation, and all models seamlessly integrate into place of the factory forend.
The DSF features large, tactile momentary and constant-on switches on both sides for precise control by left- and right-handed shooters. Selecting the LED’s output is achieved by activating the light in constant-on mode and then pressing the output-mode selector switch until the desired output level (600 or 200 lumens) is set. The selected output can then be left in constant-on mode or switched to momentary activation, and it stays at that output level until reset. Every DSF-Series WeaponLight also features an integrated system-disable switch to prevent accidental activation during transport, storage, or stealth operations.
All DSF models produce tactical-level light (over 50 lumens) for 3 hours on two 123A lithium batteries.

Limitless Gear OPFOR
September 16th, 2013
Limitless Gear’s OPFOR is a polymer magazine holster designed for AR-15/M4 compatible magazines. It uses a patent pending MOLLE/PALS quick attach system that allows the holster to attach to any 2×2 PALS surface in seconds. The OPFOR utilizes a lidless positive magazine retention system; a leaf spring holds the magazine onto a fixed latch, keeping it in place. A simple twist-and-pull action disengages the spring, allowing for a smooth draw only when the operator wants their magazine. The OPFOR also features front facing attachment slots for additional OPFORs or gear using MALICE clips.
The OPFOR will be available for pre-order on Indiegogo September 26th. Available colors will include Black and Coyote Brown.
