#Multicam

Photo Of The Day and for the first time we feature SIG Sauer’s MCX-SPEAR-LT. In a collaboration with Cerakote-specialists Blowndeadline, the offering now includes a hand-made Multicam pattern.

SIG SAUER unveiled their MCX-SPEAR LT series of firearms in the fall of 2022, following up from the prior release of their large-frame SPEAR model. The original SPEAR is essentially the commercial version of their DoD Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program entry to replace the military’s aging M4 carbines. The LT versions were added to maintain the design’s advantages while bringing additional options to buyers in further chamberings, such as 5.56 or 300 BLK. Now SIG has announced the release of a new special edition of their popular SPEAR LT, which is offered in Multicam thanks to their partnership with custom Cerakote gurus Blowndeadline, rather than the series’ standard FDE or black. The text of SIG’s announcement email is copied below for further details.

Just over five years ago I purchased a Multicam 5.11 Rush 72 backpack.  I was tired of carrying awkward pistol bags up multiple flights of stairs, and regular backpacks weren’t cutting it for hard use.  So I bit the bullet and purchased a bag that would prove to be almost indestructible.

Safariland’s latest special edition camo is Multicam Arid. This pattern has been long-awaited by desert dwellers and fans of unique camo. Let’s take a look at the various models.

Grayboe has updated their Phoenix stock to become the Phoenix 2. This Rem 700-footprint stock is a reshaped and improved version. Let’s take a look at some of its features.

Limited edition shoes aren’t my thing, but the 5.11 Norris Multicam limited edition did catch my eye when launched.  The Norris is more akin to a workboot in terms of features but they look and wears like a sneaker.  As a result, these quickly became my go-to shoes for daily use.  Now after 2 years of hard use and abuse, let’s take another look at them

FN America will be displaying MultiCam SCARs at the 151st NRA Annual Meeting. The rifles are the same as usual – SCAR 16S, 17S and the 20S commercial variants – with Crye Precision’s original MultiCam pattern applied hydrographically to the receiver and the trigger module frame.

I’m a huge fan of Agilite’s product lineup mostly for their selection of MultiCam patterned gear. Agilite just announced that they have released a new limited edition MultiCam Black K19 plate carrier and they also announced that they will be offering the new plate carrier with free shipping while supplies last. For those that don’t know, the K19 is Agilite’s most modern plate carrier and has been put into use by some of the Israeli Defense Force’s most elite units.

Following many requests by customers for Multicam Black camouflage wraps for many of their products, Safariland has just released a few limited availability editions of their 6304RDS and 6354RDS holsters as well as their Liberator HP 2.0 hearing protection. The Multicam Black hearing protection can now be picked as color options on their respective product pages (linked above). These wraps are made from Cordura nylon and not only look cool but are said to enhance durability.

Last month I wrote about the new company, Nocorium. At the time I wrote that, Alex of Nocorium only had wraps for three devices; PVS-14, RNVG, and DTNVG. However, Alex had already forged on ahead wrapping other devices. I previewed a handful of them last month and that only scratched the surface. In this weekly installment on Friday Night Lights, we will take a look at a Nocorium Update and take a peek under the NVG wraps.

EDC is always a hot topic, but the importance of medical gear is often overlooked. This might be because it doesn’t seem as sexy of a topic, but it is an important part of the gear we might need. There is a greater probability that we will need to plug holes than make them. This simply means the likelihood of us having to defensively protect ourselves is far outweighed by the probability we will come across someone in medical trauma needing medical gear. However, there are some drawbacks to medical gear. Often medical gear is large and difficult to carry, getting torn up when carried in a pocket or taking up valuable space for other tools. Defense Mechanisms came out with an ankle med kit to solve this problem. I previously had never carried anything on my ankle so it was a new endeavor for me, but it was worth the effort.

Paladin Custom is an Australian Veteran based company. They make packs for the military and adventurers. Just a few days ago, Paladin Custom launched in the US and they are releasing their flagship Apex Modular Rig (AMR). It is a chest rig and belt system for carrying your hunting load as well as a patent pending Reflex Quick Release™ system. 

I am surprised how often I am surprised when something benign is tacti-cooled and in this case, its even a pun! MTEK, a company I have not heard of before, is offering the M12 Tacticoozy. Designed for field choice beverage, the Tacticoozy even has a ejector strap for “instant discarding of empties.”

Crye Precision has a multicam Magpul Ronin at their booth here at SHOT Show 2016. For those of you not familiar with “ The 47“, these motorcycles were originally designed by a team at Magpul.

First Spear has come out with a very interesting range bag. It seems rather discrete as it is not bedazzled with Molle. It would have helped if it came in other colors, rather than the common color palette of tactical equipment. Color aside, this pack can hold a decent amount of firearms. Three pistols and a broken down AR-15. On top of that, it has compartments for ammo, magazines, ear protection and shooting glasses. All of that in a decent sized backpack. Now comes the compromise, the price. $267.78. But when you start comparing that to other tactical back packs, like Kifaru, Mystery Ranch, or Triple Aught Design; $267.78 isn’t that bad.
