Milspecmonkey STRAC FAST System First Impressions

After spending time on the range with the STRAC FAST system for the first time, these were the thoughts of some of my LEO / MIL friends.

Wouldn't that cause some off balanceness, as all the wight would be on one side the persons hip, and with conventional chest rigs the weight is more even distributed?

[milspecmonkey]

It is recommended to have typical magazine pouches on the other side, which would balance out the weight.

[koreenboi]

looking at the way it's made, wouldn't it be more practical and easier to use if it were strapped to your leg pointing up?

[milspecmonkey]

That would cause a bit more distance from mag extraction to rifle mag-well. Likely be more bulk than desired on a leg for many as well.

[tfashooter]

How many mags fit in there? I thinks it`s worth if you can stack at least 5. If it`s less than that, and adding the posibility the mags will jam or won`t come out when you need them makes it useless.

[milspecmonkey]

3 mags. As a side note, none of the testers around the world have had a jam yet.

[scilonthreat]

it's a magazine...magazine.

I can see that getting in the way...and for how much space it takes up...wouldnt it be wiser to just have 2 2mag pouches? takes up less space and has 1 extra mag.

[reddevilparatrooper]

I missed you guys at the SHOT show this year.I wanted to thank you that this is an awsome system.See you guys soon and good luck brothers.

[XXRANGERSXX75th]

Probably be good for mounting on the back of a plate carrier. Say if a team mate/ soldier needed an extra mag , then this is a definite solution concitering u don't have to stop aiming/ firing to pass a mag.

[ndredneck79]

i think if they could get it to hold 5 to 6 mags the space and size would make it worth while

[haronasi]

@kenpolunchb0x The Idea of the system is indeed to be fast, tho costing that in size. And it does it's job at it. Everything for everyone.

[ichewtoast111]

its a good idea, ide like too see them build off of it and make somthing a bit smaller and less akward :)

[spencer0590]

for an only 3 mag cap, it looks pretty cumbersome... is it box shaped? does it curve against the body?

[lightfighter18b]

Are there any plans to make a non curved version? I can see the advantage of having them mounted on seat backs and such.

[tapijtklopper]

I think we have allmost hit the limits of guns with bullets. Ok its still the best way to hunt our own species, but its still a pain in the ass , noise, heat, ammolimits.

But this looks like its gonna work, ill need my bullets for when the zombies come :)

[DasGewehr]

I don't see where the problem would be. In the situation this seems designed for, time really matters. You're not going to waste time putting that empty magazine away, and if you did there's more than enough pockets in the new ACUs anyway. And you're never going to do an IDPA "tactical" reload using M16/M4 magazines in a combat situation anyway. If you're going to do that, you might as well just stick that half-loaded mag in your pocket.
