A couple interesting new products

The guys over at Predator Armament just added a couple of very interesting-looking products that, if it got me a chance to review them, I'd bludgeon a midget to death with a decomposing cat for.

The first one is from Ares Armor, one of the up-and-comers in the tactical gear market. The guys at Ares are heavy on the innovation and if they keep this up, the big boys are going to have to watch out.
The EFFIN-A (nice acronym, eh?) AR compensator is a unique little beastie. It is highly customizable, by virtue of 28 ports that can be either left open or closed individually. This is an unprecedented level of customization for a muzzle-brake. But wait, there's more! You can also stack more than one of these brakes, attaching them in series for additional compensation. It's right under a hundred bucks and comes in Black Oxide or Stainless.

I'd love to test this thing against the AAC Non-Mount Muzzle-Brake that I'll be testing here shortly.

Second one up is a new product from Australian gearmaker, SORD. SORD has been known for producing some rather excellent "tactical" softshell jackets in the past but have more and more branched out into the tactical nylon market. The ARAC or Advanced Releasable Armor Carrier, is the result of this diversification.
Designed in collaboration with Jason Falla of Redback One, this carrier is designed to be compact and allow for the wearer to maintain his mobility.
The release system is apparently also in a class by itself and is reputed to be very reliable.
And on top that, it comes not just in MultiCam, which a lot of people are kind of sick of, but in the new A-TACS camouflage, a VERY effective pattern!
You can check that out here: Advanced Releasable Armor Carrier By SORD.

If any of my readers (Yes, you. No, not you. You in the shirt. Yeah, I'm watching you. ) have experience with either of these products, I'd love to hear from you in the comments.
