Review: Gerber 'Suspension' Multitool

Review taken from: http://www.associatedcontent.com/, written by L. Spain.

Every hero and every citizen should own tools and have them readily available in an emergency. The Gerber Suspension Multitool packs a wide variety of commonly required tools into a tough little stainless steel package. According to the Gerber website, their Suspension multi-tool features needle-nose pliers, a wire cutter, a fine edge knife, a serrated edge knife, a saw, scissors, a cross point screwdriver, small and medium flat blade screwdrivers, a can opener, a bottle opener, and a lanyard hole. This multitool comes in a black ballistic nylon case that fits handily on your belt. The total package weighs about 9 ounces and is about the size of cell phone. The Gerber Suspension Multitool retails for about $80 or a little more if you buy optional attachments. It's a small price to pay for the ability to step in and save the day.

Over the past few weeks, I've tried to make a point of using my Gerber Multitool. The centrepiece of the Gerber Multitool has to be the needle-nose pliers and wire cutter. The stainless steel handles of the multitool fold back (much like a butterfly knife) to reveal a 2 1/4-inch pair of needle-nose pliers. They are cleverly spring-loaded to open automatically. For precision work, the front 3/4-inch of the pliers has the sharp point, flat plier surfaces, and fine serrations expected of any quality set of needle-nose pliers. For gripping odd-sized nuts and bolts, the next half inch back on the pliers opens into the slight oval of traditional pliers. Beyond the regular pliers, 3/8-inch of wire cutter is provided for clipping wires or stripping wires. In the hand, I found that the Gerber Suspension Multitool felt good. The handles are more substantial than traditional needle-nose pliers and are easier to grip. The spring-loaded opening mechanism also makes the pliers easy to reposition.

I was able to lightly test this Gerber Multitool on recent trips to the shooting range. On one range trip, the small flat blade screw drivers was just perfect for adjusting the tiny screw that drifts the rear sight right or left on my Ruger Single Six revolver. Later, the larger flat blade screwdriver on the Gerber Suspension Multitool proved useful in mounting a Bushnell scope on one of my .22-caliber rifles. At the range, I was able to zero the scope using the screwdriver blades to adjust the elevation and windage settings. Since space in the shooting lanes at my local range is pretty narrow, it was nice to have one handy tool that I could wear on my belt.

When I came home, I was able to use the small pair of scissors to cut gun cleaning patches down to an appropriate size for the small-bore rifle. The scissor blade provides only a half inch of cutting surface so it would be tough to cut a consistent straight line. However, it can be done. The multitool handle can be cupped in four fingers of one hand and the thumb can be used to repeatedly press down on one handle of the scissors. Alternatively, the handle can be flipped over and cupped in three fingers with the index finger being used to pull on the scissor handle as if it were a trigger. No matter how it is used, the small and slight appearing scissors can actually cut very well.

Sailors and boaters will also find the Gerber Suspension Multitool very useful. The stainless steel construction of this multitool should help it resist corrosion and the skeletonised frame should prevent moisture from being trapped within the tool. The lanyard hole is nearly a quarter inch in diameter and should accommodate substantial lines to tether this multitool to your person. When the lanyard hole attachment is extended, the tool still fits securely in its sheath. In a boating emergency, a user can deploy either the serrated blade or the fine point blade with one-hand. Both blades are of a drop-point design to protect the user by minimizing the damage from an unintended jab.

The weakest point on the Gerber Suspension Multitool is probably the "cross point screwdriver." It looks like a poor excuse for a Phillips-head screwdriver and appears to lack the girth needed to securely grip a Phillips-head screw. I was able to unscrew Phillips-head screws from the back of a desktop PC using this tool, but my grip was not very secure and the tool did slip out of the grooves a few times. This shortcoming could be overcome by the purchase of an extra accessory set for $20 to $30 that provides numerous tool heads that include a Phillips-head screwdriver head. It would be nice if the pouch for the Gerber Suspension Multitool had an extra pocket to accommodate these extra tools. I think my multitool may have come with these tool heads in a small rubber strip. However, if it did, these accessories were lost or buried someplace where they wouldn't get lost within a few short weeks of getting this multitool.

Overall, the Gerber Suspension Multitool is a great value for $80. This Gerber Multitool is rugged, substantial, compact, versatile and affordable. It is an attractive little tool that would make a good Christmas or Father's Day gift. It will make a great addition to any hero's utility belt.

Tasmanian Tiger 2009 Product Overview

First Tactical have been supplying Tasmanian Tiger clothing, gear and equipment for over a year now, and the range has grown consistently in quality and scope since they first launched back in 2002. For ’09 they have taken on-board comments and suggestions from retailers and end-users alike and refined their range once more, adding some excellent new items that will make a big difference to the tactical equipment market.

The emphasis with ‘Tassie’ kit has always been its functionality and they continue to manufacture some of the most adaptable and functional rucksacks and packs that we’ve ever seen. Buyers know about the Berghaus’s and the Karrimor’s but we believe TT rucksacks can rival anything currently on offer by these two market leaders.

Here we can see the Pathfinder, the Range Pack and the First Responder medical pack.

Their combat equipment too has received high praises from our customers in theatre and there are several new items available for 2009 that may just take your fancy.


The Ammunition Vest makes a great platform for combat missions and allows the wearer to tailor the configuration of pouches to best suit the wearer.

The MKII Chest Rig is one of our best-sellers and provides a lightweight, comfortable chest harness perfect for operating within vehicles. Standalone, the rig will accept any 250mm x 300mm Hard Armour Plates but can be worn easily over modern body armour.

The Vest Base is a completely versatile vest platform which will accept a full compliment of MOLLE-style pouches allowing for complete freedom of choice. ‘Gripper’ panels ensure the rifle butt remains steady when firing.

Not as widely appreciated as traditional MOLLE pouches, the Tasmanian Tiger versions should not be overlooked. The double-stack magazine pouches feature a ‘rip out’ bottom allowing the user easy access to magazines when lying in the prone position.

The latest additions to Tasmanian Tiger’s clothing range are the Nevada and Colorado combat jackets, both redesigned for ’09. The Nevada is a hardwearing Softshell with fleece lining and the Colorado is a lightweight yet warm Microfibre fleece.

Customers asked and TT answered, launching their own version of TAG’s Tactical Armband, a great device for storing maps, notes and documents when foraging around in a pack or pocket isn’t an option.

The MOLLE Dump Pouch is another must-have. Compatible with all modern vests and rigs, it makes stowing spent magazines quick and easy and rolls up when not required.

Make sure to check out the full range of Tasmanian Tiger products listed at First Tactical and take a look at the photos below showing their gear in action.

Review - Blackhawk SERPA Holster.

Original review taken from Borelli Consulting.

Regular readers know that I recently spent two weeks in New Orleans working on contract for Blackwater. One of the things I took with me was my own gunbelt. One of the things I wish I'd had on my gunbelt is the BlackHawk CQC Tactical SERPA Holster. I have reviewed the CQC SERPA holster in the past and was quite impressed with its versatility, strength and performance. BlackHawk has taken that same basic design, strengthened it even more, installed additional protection for the weapon, and mounted on a well-thought out thigh platform.

When I first discussed the Tactical SERPA with BlackHawk representatives - while it was still in the developmental stages in fact - I told them that one of my biggest discomforts with other very popular tactical holsters was the platform itself. I found most of them too stiff, which meant either my leg didn't fit into them or my leg didn't fill them. Either causes an issue with enough activity. Another platform I've grown comfortable with is very soft and didn't provide any method for adding a knife or magazine pouch to the platform itself. I was assured that both issues were being addressed in the CQC Tactical SERPA design and indeed, BlackHawk has addressed them well.

Briefly reviewed in the SHOT Show 2005 Review I did last January, the CQC SERPA Tactical Holster has found its way to my heart. I had to procure one not only for my Glock 19 duty weapon, but also for my Springfield Armory 1911 .45ACP, ah, other duty weapon. What I have found from wearing this holster is the following:

1) The "Y" attachment system that uses two leg hangers instead of one indeed makes for less stress on my hip and results in less torque on the holster platform itself when I'm sitting down.

2) The platform is stiff enough to support a secure feeling of the holster on my thigh, but it's pliable enough to conform to the shape of my thigh.

3) The straps, thinner on top and thicker on the bottom, provide a non-restrictive hold for the platform that can be moved if necessary, but doesn't move at inopportune times. When might it be necessary? When I climb into a truck to drive with this holster on, I can easily turn the holster / platform over onto the top of my thigh. That way I can get to the handgun without having to lift a hip to make room between the gun and the center console, etc.

4) The universal mounting system rails that can be attached to the platform either in front of, or behind (or both) the holster allow for carrying extra magazines, multitools, pistol lights, etc. right there on the platform. If you're going into a prisoner processing area and you have to unload into a secure box, just disconnect the holster from the belt hangers; unbuckle the two straps and put the whole thing in: holster, weapon, magazine(s), light, knife, etc. No need to even draw your weapon to make it secure. Isn't that a safer idea?

5) The double magazine pouch that BlackHawk makes for the CQC line fits several (if not all) of the MOD Folding Knives. Isn't that convenient.

So, I've worn the holster for awhile. I didn't have it with me in New Orleans but have worn it both before and after that adventure. The holster body itself is beefed up from the "normal" CQC holster. It's thicker and covers more of the weapon. There are still two retention devices incorporated: tension and the SERPA locking mechanism. The SERPA release is easy to manipulate and is specifically designed to index your trigger finger along your slide when you draw. I like that. My time wearing the holster showed it to be comfortable, secure and easily adjustable if necessary.

The current BlackHawk catalog shows the CQC SERPA Tactical Holster available in black, coyote (desert) tan and OD Green. Prices are listed at $119.95 in the catalog, but an online search found them listed for as low as $95 from various distributors. Add a couple magazine pouches or a light holder and for as little as $120 to $130 you can have a well-equipped tactical platform built. Need one for the other side? BlackHawk CQC makes them available too. In fact, those were specifically designed to accept the universal mounting system rails or MOLLE/STRIKE mountable pouches. That kind of versatility is appreciated when you're building a mission-specific kit.

Revision 'Sawfly' Eyewear Test

Testing conducted by Borelli Consulting, Oct 22nd 2007

Some folks have called me a doubting Thomas. Others seem to feel that I'll write something nice about any company that sends me equipment to test. To that second group I say, "You have no idea how much stuff I've sent BACK because it failed." In the case of this week's review item - a recheck of Revision Military Eyewear - I decided to put my own convictions to the test. I have long been a fan of Revision Eyewear and believed their ads about "37 hits, no penetrations." I decided not to take it for granted and test it myself. This week's review has pictures of ONE pair of Revision's Sawfly eyewear protection system that we shot THREE times with 8-shot. The short report is "92 hits: no penetrations". The long report is... below.

Off to the range I went. My test shotgun was my Remington 870 pump 12g with a 20" slug barrel. My test load was Federal 2.75" 8-shot shells. My target, as you can see from the photos, was a cardboard "backer" hung and fitted with a pair of Revision Eyewear Sawflys. To simulate eyes, nose and mouth in a way that would clearly show hits, I used black adhesive dots from Shoot-N-See products which show yellow when penetrated (or scraped hard enough). I felt that shooting the target from 16 feet, which is what Revision did for testing, was a bit unrealistic. My feeling is that, from that close, a blast of 8-shot is going to do so much damage to my head that I won't care about my eyes. What was a more realistic distance? A distance that I believed would result in superficial facial injuries - not incapacitating - where damage to the eyes through the closed lids would be blinding. The distance I decided to start with was 15 yards.

So, from the 15 yard line I fired one round of 8-shot at the target. Accounting for muzzle rise I tried to aim accordingly and the resulting hit pattern is visible on the photo shown to the right here. I probably aimed just slightly lower than I should have, but the number of hits in the Shoot-N-See dots are easy to see. The holes in the gray head are also worth noting. Each respresents a puncture in skin, cheek, forehead, chin, lips, ears, etc. What is important is that, of the 16 hits counted on the glasses from this shot, none penetrated.

So, okay cool. From about 45 feet a blast of 8-shot isn't blinding. But that's just one shot. How about another? I had to find out. So, making sure the Sawflys were still in place on the target I took that second shot. I adjusted my aim a little higher this time. I wanted to get maximum impact on the head area of the target, increasing my chances of getting as many pellets as possible to hit the glasses. What I was trying to find out is if the lenses, having been impacted once, would have weak spots that could be penetrated with a second volley of shot. As you can clearly see from the next photo down, the glasses survived the second shot and prevented any penetrations. I had to do the counting: we added another 23 impacts to the Sawflys (my aim was better) for a total of 39 hits (so far) without any penetrations.

As you can see on the right side of the target's head, the glasses were being pushed into the cardboard pretty well. Obviously, the impact energy of 39 8-shot pellets is still enough to do some damage. I found it significant, though, that even on a second blast, the glasses hadn't failed. What would a third shot do? We were about to find out. I made sure that the glasses were still in place and stable. I moved my firing position up to the seven yard line: 21 feet. Standing there looking at the target that close I remember thinking, "Even if the eyes are still there, the head won't be." With that in mind I loaded my round of 8-shot, took aim and fired.

After the shot it was almost humorous to see the target still there with just the eye section punched out. The Sawflys were on the ground behind the target and the target's "face" was a mass of hits. The Shoot-N-See dots were covered with more yellow than black. I had to search behind the target to get the "eye" pieces and put them back in place. The right side Shoot-N-See dot showed yellow scrape marks where the Sawflys pushed through the cardboard. Still, I had to look and see just how well the glasses had held up to a third blast fired from much closer. After I got everything put back together I was suitably impressed. After putting everything in place I was quite pleased to see that there were still no holes in the eyes.

If you look carefully you CAN see a few holes in the gray shaded portions of the head that would have been behind the glasses. Since none of the shots penetrated the glasses, I have to assume that these pellets pushed through in between the lenses and frames or nose piece after the majority of pellets had impacted. When I picked up the glasses the lens had seperated from the frames and the nose piece had fallen off. I reassembled the glasses and started counting hits. That blast added another 53 hits for a total of 92 hits fired in three seperate shots. In that final picture below you can clearly see just how covered in pock-marks the lens and frame are. For as much damage as the glasses took, think about the damage to eyesight that they would have prevented in this case.

The thing that I have to remember is that the Sawfly protective eyewear system is only ONE that Revision makes. I consider them representative of the other protective eyewear products Revision makes - although I know that I will be taking a pair of Hellfly sunglasses out to the range to shoot up sometime in the near future too.

In addition to the Hellfly and Sawfly protective eyewear systems - which strongly resemble sunglasses - Revision also makes two types of goggles: The Desert Locust and the Bullet Ant. All of the Revision eyewear products are ballistic rated and designed for specific purposes. The Sawflys and Hellflys are exceptional for daily wear. As eye protection for law enforcement and/or special assignment personnel, they are excellent. For special operations work the goggles do great... or, on the recreational side, the Bullet Ant goggles are perfect for eye protection while you're riding your motorcycle. And if they'll stop repeated rounds of 8-shot, they should be pretty good at stopping bees and rocks.

Like any company, Revision creates slogans for their advertising campaigns and, if you're a reasonably well informed adult, you learn to look through the slogans and slick sounding statements to see what the products are really about. In this case Revision's slogans are pretty much spot on:

In Just The Blink Of An Eye You Can Lose An Eye. Be Revision Ready.

You Can't Hit What You Can't See Be. Revision Ready.

Looking at the company's performance you can see that it isn't just about slogans, though. With more than 500,000 sets of Sawfly protective eyewear delivered to the Army, Revision has both the Sawfly and Desert Locust products available for purchase through DoDEmall, GSA, and more. They both have NSN numbers. For all that, Revision is releasing new colors for the Hellflys at the '08 SHOT Show.

So, I started out double checking what was being put into the advertisements and came away more than satisfied. 92 cumulative hits later and the glasses can still be worn. Of course, you won't see much through them now, but more importantly, NOTHING would have gotten through to damage your vision.

What's that worth to you?

BE SAFE!!!

Review: First Light USA 'Tomahawk'

Review reprinted with permission from the Britsh Blades forums.

'Working in the emergency services (in my case the ambulance service) many of you will recognise the need to carry something better than the usual cheap and poorly performing issued torches. Over the past 22 years I’ve personally bought or tried far too many lights to remember and many of them have turned out to be either painfully inadequate in either performance or quality and very few have survived the rigors of daily hard use.

With this in mind I’m always eager to try new lights which could or may be useful in my current role. Now as I’m quite a big Surefire Fan I’ve carried or used an incandescent Surefire as an everyday carry (EDC) for a number of years. Incandescent lights despite the benefit of good colour rendition do have the drawback of a limited bulb life and are very poor at maximising battery life. Accordingly for reliability and cheapness I went over to LED lights sometime back and have rarely found a situation that made me regret not carrying an incandescent light with me.

Currently I use a Surefire G2zL in a V70 holster which is both easy to access and to reholster and provides a reasonable amount of light whilst providing very long runtimes on a set of two CR123 batteries ( As I pay for the batteries this is an important consideration for me). I am now awaiting a Malkoff Devices dropin LED module which is claimed to provide over 3 times the lumens as Surefire P60 LED module whilst still proving a reasonable runtime on normal CR123 batteries. If this device works as well as promised I’ll be one happy bunny. However, never being one to not succumb to the effects of advertising I noticed a couple of lights being made in the US which don’t appear to have had too many reviews on Candle Power Forums and none on British Blades.As there hasn’t been a UK dealer until recently I’m not surprised that so few people have heard of it and I thought I’d provide you with my impressions of one of the two lights in question, namely the First-Light Tomahawk.

As the Tomahawk is the second product to grace the First-Lights stable it hasn’t had the same amount of coverage in the normal press write ups as its older sibling the First-Light Liberator. This is a shame as it really does deserve more coverage than its getting and may provide a useful addition or replacement for some of you?

The compact Tomahawk GP

The Tomahawk appears to have been named due to its shape when viewed in side profile. It really does look like a mini tomahawk. The Tomahawk is what is commonly referred to as an angle headed torch and is very reminiscent of the military issued lights carried by both American and British soldiers over the last fifty years or so (except much smaller). The Tomahawk utilises a LED lamp for its main beam and some versions are equipped with supplemental coloured LED’s around the bezel to allow use in different environments or situations. It comes with a Molle Compatible clip which is equally useful on a normal trouser or duty belt and has a detachable plastic finger ring (more of that later).

The Tomahawk has three levels of light which use a simple but ingenious set of 3 switches to operate. The light can be operated in low, medium or high power and depending on the model will provide between 80 to 120 lumens of light. Although the bezel has a smooth reflector, on my example (the base LP model), there were no artefacts or irregularities to the beam and it has a very useful hotspot transitioning to an equally useful corona. In fact my model which is limited to 80 lumens out performs my Blackhawk Gladius (which is rated at 90 lumens) for output and has a smoother beam than any of my Surefire P60L LED modules. Incidentally it also has the best white tint of any of my LED lights.

One of the advantages of the Tomahawk is that it can be used in such a way as to allow the use of most of your carry hand without having to put the light down. If you put your index finger through the ring you can use the light as normal and then if needed quickly flick it to the outside of your hand whilst not dropping or losing it. For those of you thinking ‘what if’, well the ring is made out of a flexible plastic which will give way before you sustain an injury to your index finger if the light was to get jerked away from you suddenly!

The 3 switches which are mounted on the top of the light body are on/off, momentary and light level selection. Pushing the on/off and level selection buttons together simultaneously for 1.5 seconds puts it into lockout mode (which is indicated by a Red LED showing when any of the buttons is pressed). A reversal of this procedure will unlock the light and will show a momentary appearance of a green LED on the control panel. Simple! The buttons are easy to access with your thumb and take minimal effort to use. Build quality is excellent and the threads are smooth and have no discernable play. The anodising on the base model is black type 11 with all the other models in the range being covered in harder wearing HA grey. I understand (from previous postings that I’ve seen) that the interior surfaces of the light are actually chemically dipped in a clear preservative to prevent corrosion.

The Tomahawk is able to be carried easily by using the metal Molle clip but you can obtain separately two accessories which allow the light to be mounted on a TEK-LOK for a duty belt or for use with Molle compatible webbing. (I’ve included a picture of the Tomahawk and the Tactical Retention Device for your perusal)At the present time my only concern about this light is how long the flexible plastic which covers the switches will last under hard use. However, as First-Light offers a 3 year unconditional guarantee I’m not unduly concerned about this being a problem.Most of the information of this light and the Liberator can be obtained from the manufacturer’s website: First Light, or from the UK importer, First Tactical Ltd.

Incidentally the UK importer First Tactical will provide a 10% discount on this or any of their products to serving military or emergency service personnel on producing a valid copy of their MOD90 or other satisfactory ID.

Incidentally my dealings with First Tactical are purely as a very satisfied customer and I have no other connections or dealings with them. However, Chris at First Tactical did provide me with a level of customer service seldom experienced these days and is to be commended for his patience when dealing with my enquiries about First-Light products.'

Review - 5.11 TDU Pants

Overview

5.11 is a North American clothing supplier based in Modesto, California and they have been designing and producing tough and reliable tactical clothing for over ten years. With the needs of the private security operative firmly in mind they are committed to providing operators with well-made equipment that they can trust without question. Their gear is common-place on these shores so we’re taking a look at another of their best-sellers…

Build Quality

5.11’s TDU ‘Pants’ are the ultimate in their line of combat clothing. Designed for high-threat combat situations where camouflage is not an option, the TDU’s are rugged and packet with design features. Triple-stitched and bartacked in all stress areas, they’re a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton ripstop fabric, meaning they’ll stand up (excuse the pun) to the most demanding of situations. The fabric is also treated with Teflon for stain, liquid and dirt resistance.

Features

The TDU’s have been constructed with comfort as a top priority and are packed with features. The self-adjusting waist is elasticated and always ensures a snug fit, very useful where wearing a hip holster – the weight of which often causes sagging. The thigh pockets each feature a split divider to securely accommodate two M4-type magazines, providing extra carrying capacity in addition to any vest or rig. The belt loops are tough and will easily take a military type web belt up to 2” in width.

The self-adjusting waitband helps keep holsters in place.

The internal divider in the cargo pockets securely hold 2 x M4 type mags.

One of the best features about the TDU’s is the incorporated foam kneepads which sit in internal pockets at each knee. They’re made of durable, coated foam and flex easily, allowing comfort while offering that extra bit of protection when kneeling or going prone. The pads can be easily removed for cleaning or drying and extras are available from any decent tactical retailer.

The durable kneepads are removeable for washing.

Overall

The TDU’s are a competent design and function well. They’re great for not only tactical situations but any outdoor enthusiast would find tem useful, from hiking to rock climbing they’re comfortable and not going to fall to pieces anytime soon. From a military perspective there are certainly more expensive combat trousers around, but if you’re looking for a decent pair of tactical pants, with some great features, for not a lot of cash then there could be perfect for you.

Blue Force Sling Contractor’s Pack - Review

Overview

Blue Force Gear is based in Georgia, USA and has a simple mission statement: to offer high quality firearms accessories to military, police and civilian customers. Since their inception they have been widely praised by the US military and law enforcement agencies coast-to-coast and as their kit finally reaches us in the UK, we're going to take a look at one of their best-sellers…

What is it?

If the Sling Contractor Pack could be summed up in a single word it would be: versatility. Designed expressly for private security contractors who don’t often know what weapons will be available to them, Blue Force have put together a dazzling array of sling components to ensure that the user can always arrange their desired set-up as soon as they hit the tarmac. Weapon supports are a very personal matter and each individual has their own preferred style, with the Contractor Pack, it’s easy to get a comfortable and reliable sling set-up no matter what weapon happens to be at hand.

Build Quality

Blue Force equipment is simply top-notch. The heavy-duty webbing is of amazing quality and the steel loops, clips and mounts mean that whatever weapon you choose to carry, it’s not going anywhere. The stitching is thick and there just isn’t a doubt that the sling will fail.

Features

The pack is designed to offer a complete solution to weapon carriage and it does just that. Ten individual components make up the set and each one is specifically designed to accommodate any small arm weapon system that you’re likely to find.

The base of the set is the SOC-C (Special Operations Capable-Convertible) sling which can be configured as a 1, 2 or 3 point harness depending on preference. The SOC-C system uses individual attachments specific to the weapon, meaning that if you have more than one weapon in your arsenal you can quickly and easily switch between the two without removing the main sling.

The eight adaptors included in the set cover a huge range of weapons:

1 attachment band for M16A1 / A2 and similar buttstocks.
1 attachment band for M4 / M16 and similar foregrips.
2 attachment straps for fixed sling loops as with HK weapons.
1 Universal Attachment Loop (short) for CAR buttstocks, folding AK stocks, shotguns, etc.
1 Universal Attachment Loop (long), for fixed AK stock, shotgun, etc.
2 hook adapters for SMGs, MP5, Uzi etc.

The final piece of kit is Blue Force’s patented Vest/LCE adaptor which allows the user to secure the sling directly to their MOLLE vest or rig. With the amount of options available it is highly unlikely you’ll need to worry about getting the right sling for the job.

Overall

The Sling Contractor Pack is certainly a very versatile system and more than capable of living up to the claims. It’s a great bit of kit and costs little more than a single sling that is nowhere near as adaptable. Blue Force are not widely know in the UK yet but with products like this we’re sure their reputation will grow overnight.
