Saves Lives!!!

Posted: August 23, 2011 by mrtacguy in Soft Goods

One thing that soldiers know on the battle field or even training field is that you can never have enough medical equipment.  And everyone who has been in the military can tell you that the basic issued IFAC is a huge bulky piece of fabric that gets in the way.  I have a very difficult time finding a place to put it on my kit without it getting in the way.

Well Condor came up with this great detachable med pouch.  This thing is straight up awesome.  It’s slim enough to put on the side of your kit without it getting in the way.  It is easy to get into and is laid out perfect for finding things fast.  The detachable part is key.  If your in need of medical assistance, the field medics always go for your IFAC.  This is where it could get difficult.  If your laying on your side or its just not accessible while mounted in a vehicle.  The Condor pouch detaches from the MOLLE webbing giving the medic a lot easier access to it.  This means if your bleeding out or something like that (which we hope none of you run in to) it gives you those extra seconds to be saved.

Inside the pouch there is elastic webbing for everything that is inside the IFAC.  I added some more things to mine, such as, a decompression needle, another nasal pharyngeal, one more tourniquet, and more field bandages.  With all this stuff in here on top of the IFAC parts it is still slimmer.  It also has a hook and loop (Velcro) patch on the outside for either blood type or med patch or both.

I have posted a few pics of it on my kit.  It is on my right side your left.  Notice that it does not get in the way of my arm for moving my weapon around or even just standing there.

  • Tri-fold design.
  • Multiple pockets and elastic loops for storage.
  • Double zipper closure.
  • Addition 2″ webbing, with pull-tab for quick/temperory closing.
  • Two inch patch area across front of pouch.
  • Wide handle for carrying or rapid removal.
  • Two D-rings on the back for shoulder strap.
  • (shoulder strap is not included)
  • Size : 8″ H x 6″ W x 3.5″ D

Alright guys here is the deal.  I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret.  Smaller is better.  Trust me on this one.  The more gear you have the more stuff you have to haul around.  So with this in mind I got a perfect go bag for you.  The Condor Compact Assault Pack is just the thing for grabbing and getting the hell out.  This thing is perfect for all your grab and go needs.

I recently received this bag from the guys at UOA.  It came just in time.  This thing is a perfect fit with all my

gear and my kit.  Its small but has enough room and compartments for just about everything.  Before I got this thing I was using the army issue assault pack.  Which is good and durable.  It’s also big enough for everything you need.  The only problem is that it gets in the way and does not strap down anything.  The Condor Compact Assault Pack has compartments for just about whatever you have.

Currently in mine I have another full combat load of 5.56 and 9mm ready for the right moment.  I also have my NVGs with ACH mount and extra batteries for my M68 and PEQ-2.  I have Chem-lights and IR beacons in the middle pocket.  An extra set of clear and tinted eye-pro.  There is also enough room for a set of binos.  Then the rest of the room is set aside for energy drinks and cliff bars just in case we get stuck out on the road.  Also I have a couple extra batteries for my radio and extra entenna.  I actually put more stuff in this bag then I did in the one that I got issued.

The durability of this thing is up to my par.  I was worried about the shoulder straps breaking due to how light its made.  But let me tell you that it holds up.  I have about 25 lbs  of gear in mine and it hasn’t broken yet.  Also all of the zippers work perfect. Easy opening and closing for fast entry and exit from the pack.

If you guys out there in OCP(Multicam) are worried about this matching all of your issued stuff do not worry.  It is made out of the same Crye Precision material then our uniforms.  The only difference is this is not FR.

Now for the specs

Tactical Oneness

About a two weeks ago I picked up my new Gen4 G19, and I love it! After putting a few hundred rounds through this, I’m loving it more than Iexpected.

Just a quick note, this is not an in depth review (or even a review) of the Gluck, just a quick note on how this thing rocks!

After checking out the improvements of the Gen4 (grip, spring, rear tang, mag release, and grip plates) I knew this was the version to go with. I also liked the fact that I got 3 mags with the gun. When I got to the range and started to put rounds through the G19 I felt a bit let down. I began to have some issues with the slid locking in place on an empty mag and also driving home. I was able to cycle the gun manually without issue and assumed it must be the ammo, but after swapping out I still had some issues. After doing a bit of research and changing up my rounds I found out that the new springs are way too tight. The suggestions, leave the slide locked in place for a few days or complain to Glock. I left the slide locked back, and presto! I have not had a cycling issue since.

The G19 is a perfect carry size for me, not to big but still not too small. I can grip the gun just right on the draw put a nice concentrated grouping on target. I have found with some pistols I have trouble hitting the mag release and need to tuck the gun back a tad bit. With the larger mag release I can now drop a mag without issue.

All in all the Glock 19 Gen4 is a solid pistol, and will be on my side until I can find a ray gun.

Side Note: I added the NcStar AQPTF (pictured) as an inexpensive tac light, since I keep this close by in the bedroom for use if needed. For the price the AQPTF light is great. I can clear the house without issue and it has a great “spiked” edge just in case you need to go in close.

Alright, my procrastination is done, back to packing orders!
