ALPS OutdoorZ Announces the Ghost 30 EDC Pack

ALPS OutdoorZ Announces the Ghost 30 EDC Pack

From ALPS OutdoorZ

ALPS OutdoorZ, known for its extreme-duty packs and innovative gear for hunters, announces its first “everyday carry” solution for personal defense practitioners. The new ALPS OutdoorZ Ghost 30 was developed to provide discrete carry options in a practical, daily use platform.

While on-body carry of defensive firearms is not always practical or possible, daypacks and business/office backpacks are increasingly common. The Ghost 30 is built to satisfy both daily- and work-related needs as well as recreational activities. By incorporating firearm carry options within the pack, the Ghost 30 allows personal defense and 2A advocates to maintain a defensive condition anywhere they go.

Built with the same rugged-use intent as ALPS OutdoorZ’s heralded hunting packs, the Ghost 30 is ergonomically designed to wear comfortably and to withstand hard use thanks to its tough, lightweight CORDURA® fabric. Padded shoulder straps with an integrated sternum strap and a padded back panel provide optimal load distribution and a custom fit for comfortable carry. Included are multiple interior and easy-access pockets for storing up to two laptops and other essentials.

The heart of the Ghost 30 is its ability to accommodate personal defense handguns. An ambidextrous-access carry pocket is positioned behind the back panel and secured via left- and right-side zippers. The material inside the pocket is lined with loop fabric, allowing holsters with hook-and-loop backing material to attach inside the pocket for quick firearm deployment. Similarly, the Ghost 30’s front panel also features loop fabric so that users can position their holster for front-panel access, or adding additional accessories.

ALPS OutdoorZ Ghost 30 Specifications

  • Ambidextrous concealed carry pocket will accommodate hook and loop style holsters
  • Rugged, lightweight CORDURA® fabric
  • 2 padded laptop sleeves for versatility
  • The front panel is lined with loop fabric for attaching accessories
  • The top lid offers additional storage

When you need to carry a defensive handgun, but on-body-carry is not an option, the Ghost 30 from ALPS OutdoorZ is your everyday solution.

HUK Adds Kryptek Obskura Patterns to Lineup of Fin Fleece Hoodies

From HUK

Just in time for cold weather, two brand new Kryptek Obskura patterns are now available in HUK’s Fin Hoodie.

The Fin Hoodie from HUK is made with a durable, water-resistant fleece. The cuffs and hem are fitted to help keep the cold out, keeping the end-user warm and comfortable.

The popular hoodie is now available in Kryptek Obskura Shallows and Signa.

Obskurais a brand new family of camouflage patterns from Kryptek including multiple color ways with well-defined edges that cause abrupt transitions between colors and a multi-directional flow. Six unique colors were developed with HUK’s popular Kryptek collection in mind, including the Fin Hoodie.

In summary, the macro-pattern of Kryptek’s original family of patterns became the micro-pattern for Obskura, and elements inspired by the extensively proven Tiger Stripe Camo became the macro-pattern. Obskura is designed to dynamically break-up the user’s outline and improve effectiveness of concealment at longer ranges.

Kryptek is also available in Wiley-X sunglasses.

Krieghoff Launches K-80 Parcours-X

Krieghoff Launches K-80 Parcours-X

From Krieghoff

The new Krieghoff K-80 Parcours-X made its debut before an audience of over 1,000 Sporting Clays and FITASC shooters competing in the 2020 NSCA Sporting Clays National Championships.

The Parcours-X takes Krieghoff’s most popular model to a new level by offering shooters a weight option between the original Parcours and the standard K-80 Sporting model. Fitted with the newly introduced Krieghoff Thin Wall chokes, the Parcours-X barrel features a 32” length and tapered flat rib.

“Our dealers give us the most valuable feedback on what the market is looking for,” says Nick Boerboon Krieghoff International Sales Manager. “In response, we designed a Parcours model that gives shooters a bit more weight in their hands for a smoother swinging option on the robust K-80 frame.”

Scheduled as a 2021 full production model, the Parcours-X makes its first appearance in demo form offering shooters a chance to try out the new model before it hits the market. “We invite everyone to stop by the Krieghoff Demo tent at the National Shooting Complex, and see what the new Parcours-X has to offer,” says Boerboon.

Meprolight MX3 Magnifying Scope

Meprolight MX3 Magnifying Scope

From Meprolight

The explosion of modern sporting rifles continues to grow just as fast as manufacturers can build them. Keeping pace, is the demand for red dot and reflex optics, as well it should. They are used across many shooting disciplines—military, law enforcement, 3-Gun competition, and hunters. The one drawback of a red-dot optic is the lack of magnification when shooting targets at greater distances. Meprolight solved the magnification issue with the MEPRO MX3-F and MEPRO MX3-T

The MEPRO MX3-T and MEPRO MX3-F are 3X power magnifiers that attach to the Picatinny rail immediately behind the red-dot optic. The MEPRO MX3-T has an integrated pullback adaptor that allows it to ride to the right side when not needed. The MEPRO MX3-F has an integrated push-button mechanism that allows it to ride to the side when not needed.

Both models can be configured for the right side or left side ride when not in use and will not interfere with the weapons operating system. Simply flip it into position to engage for longer distance shots without having to re-zero your rifle.

Elevation and windage dials allow for a precise FOV line of sight alignment. The MEPRO MX3-F/T are compact and waterproof.

Galco EDC Upgrade System

Galco EDC Upgrade System

From Galco

An Every Day Carry set-up isn’t just a holster, it’s a system. Galco has always advocated the integration of holster, ammo carrier and holster belt as the best method for comfortable and effective concealed carry. One example of this is the professional-grade, premium saddle leather Concealable system.

The Concealable™ holster is one of Galco’s most recognizable and innovative belt holsters. Its unique two-piece, forward-molded construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster. Deeply hand-molded by our craftsmen for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, it has full firing grip accessibility for speed, double-stitched seams for durability, and covered trigger for safety.

I interviewed several custom holster experts, and you may be surprised at how affordable they are.



At least one reload should always be available. The holster’s companion, the Concealable Magazine Carrier, features ambidextrous, open-top design and holds a single spare magazine in the vertical position. Simple, fast, and easy to conceal!

Last, but certainly not least, the CB3 Contoured/Tapered Holster Belt is the ultimate concealed-carry belt. The contoured, gently-curved shape gives instant wearing comfort without a break-in period. The taper from 1 ½” to 1” at the buckle helps camouflage its true nature as a holster belt. The double thickness of leather makes it sturdy and rigid, supporting the weight of the heaviest of handguns all day long.
