Custom Gear Report

We made an announcement last week about the Grab and Go by Olongapo Outfiters. We just received two of them for review.

Our impression is that they are extremely well made. Attention to detail is maintained throughout. Stitch lines are even and consistent with properly reinforced stress points. Each compartment has a drain hole with a properly set grommet to include a nylon webbing backer which will prevent the grommet from popping out. Design and assembly is well thought out to prevent unnecessary over stitching. All materials are high quality. The individual pouches have a 1″ elastic tension band that keep everything snug. Each Pocket holds 2 mags for a total of 8.

There is plenty of room for adjustment of the carry strap. When slung over the shoulder the bag rides comfortably.

The Coyote M1A/FAL version also fits HK91 Mags I’ve also noticed that you can use this one for AR/M16/M4 mags, the flaps catch the top half of the loop patch on mage with Ranger Plates.

The MultiCam AR/M16/M4 version has fairly long flaps long enough that they fit 30 Round AK mags perfectly. and are somewhat long when used with AR/M16/M4 mags even with ranger plates. P-Mags Fit without issue. I spoke to Jerry about the pouch flap length and he mentioned he’s considering shortening them up a bit, I think it would be a good idea.

Jerry, from Olongapo Outfitters has put together a very simple yet functional “Grab and Go” ammo bandolier. He’s made several different versions for everything from your traditional M4/M16 to an M1 Garand. Price Range is $40-$50 depending on configuration.

At initial glace this reminds me of a modern day version of a cartridge box or shot pouch and powder horn that would hang behind a minuteman’s door ready to be thrown over his shoulder on the way out of the house. Some more current applications might be by a soldier’s bed side, a patrolman’s trunk or behind the door of a prepared citizen.

Jerry is a Veteran of the USMC and served as an 0311, aka Infantry Rifleman for those of you not in the know. So it goes without saying he understands the quality needed for hard use tactical gear, as he has said to me “durability is key”. Jerry tells me he uses all mil-spec materials and construction techniques and stands behind his gear 100%.

He is putting a couple together for us to do a formal review but until then here are some pics.
