The New Tac-Gear Is Here!

So my new gear was awaiting me in Maine once I got back. I popped open the USPS box and I received my HSGI Subload Single Mag Carrier and Rolly Polly Dump Pouch. The gear is very high quality and a much needed step above the basic gear I had before. The Subload sits nice and high and holds 2 AK/ 3 AR magazines plus up to four pistol magazines if you so desire. I rock with 2 extra mags for the G23. The other two pouches are home to a flashlight and cleaning kit. The Subload also had provisions for me to mount my combat knife behind the rifle mag pouch. Epic Win!

The Rolly Polly dump pouch is very well made. You can give it some abuse and it will be fine. It's big enough for my whole defense load, all rifle and pistol mags fit in the pouch. I should have bought one years ago.

The gloves and the holster were extras. I picked up the leather holster at Cabelas. I desperately needed a good IWB holster and so far so good. The G23 sits tight and the thin holster gives off minimal print.

The gloves are just something I picked up at Dick's Sporting Goods. I needed a pair dedicated to tactical use.

More pics to come. No range report yet but I'm sure there is going to be one soon. ;)

Canoe Trip

The wife and I rented a canoe for a couple of hours last time I was home a few weeks ago. We were at the Scarborough Marsh along US Route One in Scarborough, ME. It was a lot of fun and we both had a good time. May be once we are settled into a place, we can get ourselves a good deal on one. We'll see.

Check out a video:



There is another video but will have to wait till I get back home.

New Range Gear Incoming

Incoming new gear that is! I ordered up some new gear for the range bag. Over at SKD Tactical they have some nice, high quality gear for a decent price. They also offer LEO/MIL only products if you require that sort of product.

I ordered up a couple items I had been looking at for a while. The first is a brand new subload. I had one from UTG that I bought earlier in the year to research the idea of a thigh magazine pouch. I liked the concept and decided to upgrade to a better piece of equipment. I ordered up the HSGI Drop Leg Magazine Carrier, Single. Next I needed a new dump pouch so I added a RollyPolly Dump Pouch by Maxpedition to my cart.

The gear should be at my doorstep by the time I get back home to ME and I'll be sure to post a review of the pieces. It's primarily going to be range/competition/training gear. Couple it with the Chest rig I run and I'm sure the results will be interesting. Again, a full review will be in the works after I put the gear through some tests.
