I always liked the Blastmatch performance and one-handed operation. But when it cam down to actually carrying one I often declined simply because it is a fairly bulky bit of kit. Carrying your gear is always a trade off between bulk/weight and utility.

A smaller and lighter version of the Blastmatch that didn't substantially compromise the full-sized Blastmatch's strengths might just rejigger the balance and see it going into my kit more often.

Good find. I will have to see if I can get my hands on one of those.
