The advantage of designing a versatile and modular system is that it is infinitely adaptable and customizable.

Another strength of the design, though, is its ability to securely retain a firearm in “non-traditional” carry locations. The ShapeShift system continues to grow through Expansion Packs, and this week we’re taking a closer look at the MOLLE and Backpack Carry adaptors.
