The Gear Box

The Original Jackass Rig was reintroduced for Galco International’s 30th Anniversary. Galco’s predecessor, “The Famous Jackass Leather Company,” first introduced this shoulder system in 1970. It features a horizontal holster that can be adjusted to a more diagonal carry position than Galco’s Miami Classic or MCII, attaching to the harness with Galco’s patented swivel connectors.

The ammo carrier has a streamlined yet secure design, while the premium Center Cut Steerhide™ harness provides unparalleled concealment opportunities, greater adjustment and comfort. All four points of the center cut steerhide harness can pivot independently and are connected by Galco’s unique clover-shaped Flexalon™ swivel back plate, which is a Galco trademark.

The new 5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 Backpack

Sized for use as a Go-Bag, day trips, office commutes, or as a smaller carry-on, our RUSH 12 pack is loaded with most of the same features as its larger teammates for maximum utility. Designed by special operations combat veteran, Kyle Lamb of VTACTM, the RUSH 12 was created because of end-user input. Its large main compartment has a pocket that will fit most sleeved laptops and the bungeed cinch top will keep any load in place. Two mesh pockets on the inside of the main flap hold computer accessories, electronics, binos, and other smaller items you want readily accessible. The 12″H x 9″W x 1″D Admin compartment on the front of the pack opens wide and has slots and pockets to organize pens, business cards, camera, GPS, and much more, plus two key keepers and a large internal zippered pocket. Web platform on the outside of the compartment allows you to add 5.11’s SlickStickTM pouches for even more gear capacity and the 2″ x 3″ velcro patch is great for flag or unit patches. The 5″H x 8″W zippered pocket above the Admin compartment is a handy spot for radio, phone, travel documents, energy bars, and smaller gear and is also covered with web platform and a velcro patch for your nametape. Two compression straps keep everything snugged closer to your body for comfortable load management. We also tucked our zippered fleece-lined eyewear pocket on top, just behind the heavy-duty grab handle. Dual concealed hydration tube ports are located to the sides of the handle. Both sides feature top-to-bottom web platform, allowing you to attach a host of different 5.11’s SlickStickTM accessories. The back panel conceals a reinforced hydration pocket that will accommodate bladders up to 60 oz. The extra padding on the back panel promotes ventilation and the anti-skid pads help keep the RUSH 12 in place. We added tri-glide fasteners at the bottom corners in case you want to add a waist belt. The padded contoured shoulder straps have four rows of web platform and the sternum strap can be adjusted to four heights. Excess webbing can be gathered at the bottom of the straps with our elastic keepers. Two 3/8″ grommets in the bottom panel let the RUSH 12 breathe and allow water and debris to escape. We also added four attachment points for 1″ webbing to the bottom.

Hardware
Constructed of water-resistant 1050-denier nylon, the RUSH 12 Backpack will go the distance! We use self-repairing YKK® nylon coil zippers throughout and our high-impact plastic side release buckles, tri-glide fasteners, and other hardware are not affected by differences in climate. Metal grommets and zipper sliders are coated to match the pack and for resistance to corrosion.

Arguably the most recognizable name in flashlights the world over, Maglite is known for quality, reliability and innovation. Debuted here at the 2010 SHOT show, the XL100 brings features never before seen in portable lighting devices. Their “Advanced Flashlight User Interface” utilizes motion to control everything from adjusting the brightness with the twist of your wrist to dimming when set down. The LED powered light produces a hefty 83 lumens and fits easily in the palm of your hand. Like the rest of their products this was built completely in the USA from the ground up.

We’ve tested and put this new light to use and it works great. The Maglite XL100 tactical flashlight is highly recommended by The Gear Box.

Modes

Some demand ease-of-use in a light, and others, functionality. It’s hard to achieve both, but the “Advanced Flashlight User Interface” in the XL100 comes very close. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about the new motion control interface until I got a chance to try it out. It turns out that regardless of which way the light is oriented, a single short press on the button will turn the light on in regular mode.

If full brightness is all you need, you can safely ignore the markings on the tail cap and skip to the next section of this article. For those unfazed by advanced features, read on!

Normal
With the light horizontal and the DIM label at the top, press and hold the switch. Rotating the light left and right will adjust the brightness. Fumbling with the light is not needed to get it back to 100%, the light is forgiving of error around the 100% zone (DIM marking at the top). Once the desired brightness is achieved, releasing the switch will set the brightness. The light will remember the setting after switching off, and the memory function does not use power to retain the setting. The stored brightness setting also applies to the signal and SOS modes.

Strobe
The strobe feature is designed for disorienting or getting somebody’s attention. With the STROBE marking at the top, pressing and hold the switch until the light starts strobing. If the button is not released, the light can be rotated left and right to adjust the strobe speed. The strobe can go as low as a slow flash of about once per second. Click the button to disengage.

Nite Lite
This is one of the most interesting modes of this light. With NITE LITE facing upwards, press and hold the switch until the light blinks once. When the light is set down, it will dim to a faint glow until the light is moved. The brightness setting of the light does not affect the Nite Lite mode, so if the light is moved, the light will go back to full power. That, unfortunately, could completely destroy your night vision, so the decision to make Nite Lite independent of the brightness setting has me puzzled.

Signal
Since the switch on the light is neither a forward nor a reverse clicky, there is no way to signal with the light. Instead, with SIGNAL at the top, press the switch until the light turns off. Release the switch, and twist the light to the left or right to turn on. Rotate the light back to the original position to turn off. Click the button again to turn the light off.

SOS
The simplest mode of them all, with SOS at the top, press and hold to engage SOS pattern flashing. Press the button again to disengage.

Lockout
To disable the light, point the light upwards, press the switch, point the light downwards, and release. The light will not turn on if the switch is pressed. To unlock the light, repeat the procedure. This feature is handy for packing the light, as crude lockout features such as unscrewing tail caps or removing batteries would not needed.

Performance

This light is rated for 83 lumens and 134 meters of throw. To compare, the 2AA Mini Maglite LED is 69 lumens with 101 meters of throw. Below is a comparison of the XL100 and the 2AA indoors from approximately five feet away. The XL100 has a larger hotspot and is a bit nicer than the 2AA.

The Streamlight SL Flashlight series are one of the most favorite flashlights for Law Enforcement Officers, Fire Fighters, and Military personnel.   The reason why they are so popular is because they are dependable, bright, and replacement parts are for the most part inexpensive.   I’ve bee a Police Officer for 11 years and I still have my original SL-20X.  The only thing I’ve had to do is change the battery and replace the light bulb a couple of times.   Look at the tutorial video for more information.
