Ballistic

Hi, I just recieved my GRS Ballistic, for installation. Was amazed how big it is and the weight. Also got some weird looks and comments from some 'high milers' like, 'you land yourself out of trouble' and 'opening in inhospitable terrain will probably get you chucked against a cliff anyway', but my ...
