TRIJICON
Miniature Rifle Optic (MRO) Green Dot
The Trijicon MRO with green dot continues the legendary dependability of the MRO and features an adjustable 2.0 MOA green dot. The exceptional lens clarity allows the dot to stand out against targets and backgrounds. The human eye is more sensitive to green, making this version of the MRO especially effective for fast target acquisition in low light and transitional lighting conditions.
SAMSON MANUFACTURING
M&P Contour Magazine Extension
The M&P Contour Magazine Extension increases magazine capacity by 3 rounds for 9mm (a .40 caliber version is in the works) without changing out the factory spring. The magazine extension has been designed with input from professional instructors in the firearms training industry. According to Samson, every cut and contour represent a functional detail, unlike other base pads and extensions that only have cosmetic detailing. The profile is cut to aid in malfunction clearance, one-handed manipulations, and the weight aids in the magazine dropping free of the magwell. Machined from U.S.-sourced 6061-T6 Aluminum and hard coat anodized, the M&P Contour Magazine Extension looks to be the “go to” extension for those who carry an M&P for serious work.
