Have you ever needed the ability to retain your weapon when climbing, running, sitting in a vehicle, handling a prisoner, fast roping or even breaching?
The fact is that there’s always a reason to sling your primary weapon out of the way to not only free up your hands, but to prevent your weapon from moving back around and getting in the way.
Enter the 215 Gear Multi-Mission Weapon’s Retention. The MMWR provides a low-profile, simply designed retention that virtually disappears on your gear and is ready to use when you need it.
Better Retention
The MMWR uses a simple design to secure your weapon with wrap-around shock cord that drops out of the way when left open and maintains a low footprint when secured. Through the use of a small aluminum fitting for the rear attachment, the system attaches to a single channel of PALS Webbing.
With the use of the QASM all you need to do is grab the strap, slide your hand up to the male buckle and slam it home. As securing your weapon quickly isn’t as important as getting it into the fight, a simple visual check while inserting the buckle is all you need. Like anything, it becomes easier over time to know your equipment and exactly where to reach to secure it without looking.
Moving and Sitting
While seated, the weapon simply moves further down and out of the way. This is great when driving, as the business end of your weapon slides down into the space between the door and the seat. Of course this may not be the way you want to roll. You may want your weapon positioned in a way to allow faster access and not under any retention.
Details
The female portion of the QASM has two split bars that allow it to be slipped onto 1″ PALS Webbing, taking up two columns in a single row (two channels).
Constructed with 1″ tubular nylon and shock cord secured with a triple bartack at each end, the overall relaxed length of the MMWR is around 15 1/2″ and fully extended it can reach as far as 24″ in length.
The US made MMWR is available in Khaki or Black and features a lifetime warranty, check it out at 215gear.com
