Center Mass Patrol Rifle Magazine Pouch
Posted by: | CommentsCenter Mass, Inc. has an ingenious pouch for AR-15 magazines that attaches to your duty belt behind your pistol mag pouch. The Patrol Rifle Integrated Magazine Pouch ensures you always have an additional rifle mag with you, without the need for strapping anything else to your rifle.
Let’s face it, mag couplers can get heavy when holding a rifle on a subject for a long period of time. The pouches that strap to the rifle’s buttstock can come loose, and they can get in the way if you transition between shoulders to work around corners and cover.
The integrated mag pouch simply goes between your regular pistol magazine pouch and your belt, putting it where your hands have already trained to go for a reload.
Hopefully, we will be getting some of these pouches to test in the near future. I want to see if the system works as well as it looks like it should.

The Bail Out Bag
Posted by: | Comments
The new MAXPEDITION Active Shooter bag makes an excellent bail out bag for the patrol officer.
The unpredictable nature of police work requires cops to carry a lot of equipment and paperwork in their cars. You never know what kind of calls you will get on your shift, so you have to bring everything you might need. Of course, you never know what you may need on any given call. That’s one of the reasons a police officer’s duty belt has more gear than Batman ever had on his belt.
There are some calls that you know are going to require more than the average effort. Calls such as barricaded subjects and active shooters may pop up unexpectedly, but most of the responding officers will have the chance to grab an extra item with them when they get on scene: the bail out bag.
What is the bail out bag?
The bail out bag is a small to medium sized bag that an officer can stock with less commonly used items that may be of great benefit on calls that fall outside the officer’s routine workload. Read More→
