Blue Force Gear Introduces SPLITminus Chest Rig

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

Lots of folks were very interested in Blue Force Gear’s RACKminus minimalist chest rig but wanted the convenience of a split front setup. BFG listened and has just announced the SPLITminus entry to their MOLLEminus line which is the perfect complement for their highly popular Helium Whisper pouch technology. The panels are cut from a single sheet of ULTRAcomp material rather than layers of separately cut nylon. This makes for a lighter overall construction.

SPLITminus integrates two side-release buckles into the design to facilitate donning and doffing yet still weighs in at 250 grams which is 5 grams lighter than the RACKminus. This is due to the strip of load carrying real estate removed up front to accommodate the buckles meaning each side has MOLLE fields of 6 columns by 3 rows. Currently in MultiCam only.

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

This is the second time Blue Force Gear has introduced Limited Edition versions of their popular slings. This time it’s a Desert Digital model.

BFG only has 47 available, stemming from a small overrun of a special sling for a select customer. These are a padded 2 to 1 point convertible sling in ultra-rare Desert Digital pattern.

There are two versions of this sling – one with a UWL-PB in the rear for weapons with rear eyelets and one with a push button swivel and Burnsed Socket. Both slings have RED Swivels sewn in the front for emergency release and quick one handed two to one point conversion.

Additionally, they’ve incorporated their exclusive brown anodized aluminum hardware, as well as other pieces not previously released to the public, to perfectly match the Desert Digital webbing for the ultimate in signature reduction.

OD Slings are Back at Blue Force Gear

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

Despite a mass shortage of Olive Drab webbing, Blue Force Gear managed to source enough material to make a few Vickers Slings for all you hardcore OD fans. OD Slings are currently available in padded and unpadded options. The Padded VCAS is my go-to sling. I’ve tried a lot of different slings out but find myself going back to the BFG VCAS time after time.

It Seems Katy Perry Prefers Blue Force Gear

Sunday, September 23rd, 2012

In Katy Perry’s hit video, “Part of Me” she joins the Marine Corps. You can see her using a BFG VCAS coyote brown sling on her M16A4. As you know, that sling was designed by Larry Vickers. He sent me a quick note this morning letting me know of his approval.

In case any of her management team read SSD I will provide her free of charge proper instruction on use of the sling !!!! 😉

In case you happen to be reading this and aren’t Katy Perry or her management team, you can get the VCAS sling from www.BlueForceGear.com and if you’re looking for firearms training from LAV that’s available too through aliastraining.com. If you are Katy Perry, LAV wants to hear from you.
