I don't know if you know, but the MAT wasn't approved for use by the military, in a study by the US Army Institute of Surgical Research. They only approved the CAT, the SOFTT, and one other, which I don't know the name of. I'll try to get some more info soon, and post whatever I get. I just don't want someone to buy it, if it doesn't work 100% of the time, no matter how it is used.

I've carried the SOFTT for the past 3 1/2 years, used them on a couple differant occasions, and it has always worked. The only problem I have ever heard about them is that the screw can get rusty, but if you do a proper PMCS that won't be an issue. I've seen the CAT, and known people who have carried it, and the biggest complaint with them, is that the handle breaks if you apply to much pressure.

just my 2 cents
