High Threat Concealment: Best of the Low Vis — SHOT Show 2018

The ASP System.

We got a chance to stop by and see the goons from High Threat Concealment this year, and get hands-on with the new stuff. Earlier in the year, I conducted a full review of a complete HTC belt system, and I was very impressed. These guys make high-quality kit, purpose-built for real-world missions. The low vis system I tested is the best I have ever seen, and I wish I had one when I was doing this type of thing for real years ago. The company has a healthy mix of Military, law enforcement, and contracting Veterans, which reflects in the design of the systems. New for this year, three additions to the quiver.

APS System

First up is the APS system. This is the first system from HTC, not designed for concealment. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that “hidden gun” does not equate to “ ideal draw position”. The APS system allows the HTC belt to switch to a more ergonomic draw position for the pistol, provided concealment is not needed.

Crux Battle Belt

Next is the Crux battle belt. Again stepping toward the comfortable, away from deep concealment theme. This is a thick, wide, battle belt, with laser cut MOLLE attachment points to reduce weight. There are also laser cuts at 1-inch intervals, allow the belt to come in front of the MOLLE. Basically, this means you can put your holster and knife where you want, and MOLLE the rest. Good solution, looking forward to testing this one.

QRS Salvo

Last, but not least, is the new QRS Salvo. This is a slightly beefed up version of the low profile system, to include more bullets. The trade-off with concealed is light, in both size and capability. The Salvo bridges the gap, offering more options for ammo heavy missions (like PSD), without going all the way to battle belt sized (assault role). This is a great addition to the line and will be available very soon.
