When Granite Tactical asked troops what load carrying products they really need, a resounding answer was a means to carry a handy can of snuff. Working with this in mind, Granite Tactical came up with this solution. Manufactured from lightweight 500D Cordura, it features a secure half zip opening. While still only a prototype it will be available soon from Granite Tactical.

The IMag Interlocking Mag Pouch System from Granite Gear we introduced you to at SHOT Show are apparently becoming quite popular with the Army Sniper community. In addition to 30 5.56 magazines, they also fit the magazine for the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS) offering a universal ammunition pouch for the Sniper. Snipers also like the pouch’s locking locking closure that won’t open during a stalk.

Granite Gear also unveiled their new IMAG Interlocking Magazine Pouch system. In addition to a PALS compatible backing, the pouches integrate a hinge style system to attach adjacent pouches to one another. A stiffened web “pin” is inserted into the interwoven loops of each pouch. The pouch’s flap closes with a tabbed closure system very similar to the one used on the M-14 magazine pouch of the M-1956 load carrying system except that the materials are modern.
Also on display was the Chief Patrol pack selected as the new Patrol Pack for SOCOM. The issue ruck will have a few changes from the stock item including changes in direction for zippers, improved hydration interfaces as well as other unspecified alterations.
