<p class="has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background">AIMPOINT®<br><strong>ACRO™ P-1 Red Dot Reflex Sight</strong><br>The <strong>ACRO P-1</strong> was developed for use on pistols and other firearms requiring a small enclosed red dot sight. It is has proven to stand up the extreme shock, vibration, temperature changes and material stress generated by firing over 20,000 rounds of .40 S&amp;W ammunition. Aimpoint red dot sights are operationally parallax-free, which means the visible dot remains parallel to the bore of your weapon no matter what angle your eye is in relation to the sight. Therefore, the user never has to worry about centering the dot inside the sight. If you have a proper zero, when the dot is on the target, so are you. Aimpoint red dot sights increase confidence by allowing the shooter to focus on the target while keeping both eyes open, fully situationally aware at all times. Users can achieve first round hits faster with greater confidence.<br><a href="https://aimpoint.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aimpoint.us</a><br>Optical Magnification: 1x<br>Length/Width/Height: 1.9 x 1.2 x 1.2in<br>Weight: 2.1oz<br>Illumination Source: Point Source LED<br>Illumination Color: Red<br>Battery Type: CR1225<br>Battery Life: 15,000 hours<br>Waterproof: Yes, to 80ft<br>Mount: Weaver / MIL-STD 1913 rail system / Picatinny<br>Housing Material: 6061-T6 Aircraft-grade extruded<br>Finish: Matte Black<br>For pistol make: Pistols, carbines, shotguns, rifles and applications which require a low-profile red dot system<br>MSRP (USD): $599</p>

<p><strong>AIMPOINT LAUNCHES NEW AR-READY MICRO SIGHTS</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="475" height="700" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/001-9.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23784" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/001-9.jpg 475w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/001-9-204x300.jpg 204w" sizes="(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px" /></figure></div>



<p>Aimpoint has announced the addition of a new line of pre-mounted Micro T-2 and Micro H-2 sights, that are immediately ready for use on AR-15 and M4 Carbine style rifles. These sights come equipped with Aimpoint’s Lever Release Picatinny (LRP) Mount, and a 39mm spacer that provides absolute co-witness with backup iron sights on AR15 and M4 Carbine style rifles. The rail pressure on the LRP is fully adjustable, and the mount allows return-to-zero replacement if the sight is removed and replaced in the same position on the same rifle. The 39mm spacer can be removed in order to lower the optical axis of the sight for use on shotguns or submachineguns. For more information on Aimpoint or the Micro AR-ready sights, visit the company’s webpage at: www.aimpoint.com.</p>



<p><strong>CRIMSON TRACE LAUNCHES LINQ SYSTEM</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="174" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/002-9.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23785" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/002-9.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/002-9-300x75.jpg 300w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/002-9-600x149.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure></div>



<p>Crimson Trace continues its leadership position in the firearms laser sight and lights accessory categories with the release of a new industry innovation—the LiNQ® System. This wireless and remote operation system utilizes a powered control grip to activate and operate a forward—or remotely located—light and laser sight module. The two-piece LiNQ System is designed to equip and upgrade nearly all standard long guns with rails and replaceable pistol grips. The many advantages to users of the LiNQ System include: no wires to tangle or disconnect, no activation pads to search for, ease of operation and simple to use controls, and the System can be easily and quickly transferred to another firearm. The patented LiNQ (LNQ-100) System’s leading feature is a replaceable AR/MSR-style compatible pistol grip that houses the system’s control circuitry and operating battery. That grip wirelessly communicates with the rail-mounted, or remotely located, laser sight and light module. When the module and grip are actively communicating—and linked—via a secure Crimson Trace developed interface, a solid green light illuminates on the grip’s side panel. If the grip is searching for the partner light/laser module, the user will see a flashing green light. If the control grip has lost connectivity with the partnered laser/light module, there will be a constant red light on the grip’s side panel. These indicators are easy to see, and the operation buttons are easy to find and engage. The system operates on easy-to-purchase standard CR2 and CR123 Lithium batteries. The output light/laser module is similar to Crimson Trace’s popular Rail Master Pro units. Adding to the innovation features are an activation button located on the back of the remote laser and light module that permits use of the laser and light features without the LiNQ control grip installed on the firearm or located within communication range. The remote module provides these operation options; light and laser together, laser only (red and green laser models will be available), light only (the innovative LED light has a 300-Lumen output) and laser and strobe/pulsing light. The LiNQ control grip and modules have been rigorously laboratory- and field-tested for possible interruptions and communication challenges. The units have also passed numerous drop, dust and moisture tests. The two-piece system was also reviewed and tested by some of America’s top gun writers and firearms industry experts during the development phase. The product easily installs onto nearly any standard AR/MSR platform rifle commercially sold today without special gunsmithing skills. The attachment process requires removing the current grip, installing the new Crimson Trace LiNQ System powered grip in its place, and then inserting the securing screw. It’s that simple. All necessary wrenches and batteries are provided. Contact them at www.crimsontrace.com.</p>



<p><strong>KINETIC CONCEALMENT LAUNCHES NEW RED-DOT VALUE SIGHT</strong></p>

<p><strong>KAHR INTRODUCES SHORTER BARREL THOMPSON CARBINE</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="197" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/005-7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23788" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/005-7.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/005-7-300x84.jpg 300w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/005-7-600x169.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure></div>



<p>For almost 100 years, the “Chicago Typewriter”, the time-honored submachine gun, has been a favorite among collectors and shooting enthusiasts. Now, Kahr Firearms Group has given the semi-auto version a more authentic look with the introduction of their new barrel design on the Thompson T1-14 carbine. With a barrel length of just 16.5”, it is 1.5” shorter than the existing T1 models with the 18” barrels. The .45 ACP caliber T1-14 has a permanently affixed Cutts compensator which lengthens the finned barrel length to 16.5”, and puts the overall length for the carbine at 39”from buttstock to muzzle. The BATFE recently approved the permanently affixed Cutts compensator as a part of the barrel. The pinned Cutts compensator offered on the 18” barrel models are not considered part of the barrel. This model also features a blade front and open rear adjustable sight and weighs 12.5 lbs. The fixed stock is crafted in luxurious polished American Walnut and has a vertical foregrip. Retail of the new carbine is set at $1,461. Another addition to the shorter barrel 1927A-1 collection is the T1B-14, which specs the same as the T1-14, but instead of a walnut fixed stock, it comes with a detachable buttstock and with vertical foregrip. Both models are available in .45 ACP and ship with one 20-round stick magazine. The retail price on the T1B-14 is $1,910. For more information go to<br>www.auto-ordnance.com.</p>



<p><strong>SUREFIRE UPS V-SERIES WHITE-LIGHT OUTPUTS</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="371" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/006-7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23789" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/006-7.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/006-7-300x159.jpg 300w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/006-7-600x318.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure></div>



<p>SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-end illumination tools and tactical products, has upgraded its line of revolutionary V-Series LED flashlights and WeaponLights—which provide both white light and infrared illumination from one sealed head—to dramatically improve the amount of white light they generate. V-Series lights now produce up to 133 percent more white-light output, thanks to improved efficiency in the LED emitters they use. One-battery, three-volt V-Series lights, which previously generated 120 lumens of white light, now produce 250 lumens; two-battery, six-volt versions now produce 350 lumens, a 200-lumen increase from their previous maximum output of 150 lumens. Dual-spectrum SureFire V-Series illumination tools (“V” stands for vampire) feature a white-light and infrared LED inside of one weatherproof head. A proprietary Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens focuses the output from either of the two LEDs into a smooth, useful beam with ample reach and enough surround light to accommodate peripheral vision. By twisting the light’s self-locking selector bezel, a user can go from a tactical-level beam of overwhelming white light—now at even higher outputs—to an invisible (to the naked eye) infrared beam for use with night vision devices (NVDs) on stealth missions. Unlike other white lights that require an infrared filter to produce IR illumination, a V-Series light doesn’t use a filter, which can be lost, left behind, or damaged. Simply twist its selector ring to the IR or white-light setting—even on the fly—to get the desired spectrum for the task at hand. V-Series technology is featured across all of SureFire’s WeaponLight platforms and is also offered in a handheld configuration. Specific models upgraded include the V1Vampire handheld and M300V Scout Light—both of which are now 250 lumens—as well as the M600V Scout Light and two X-Series lights—the X300V and X400V IRC—these latter three models now producing 350 lumens of blinding white light. All subsequent V-Series lights developed will also take advantage of current and future gains in output from increased LED efficiency. For more information visit www.surefire.com.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="527" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/004-121.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-31639" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/004-121.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/004-121-300x226.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>Leupold is pleased to introduce the next generation in long-range and close-quarter hybrid battlefield optics with the Dual Aperture Gunsight Riflescope (DAGR), the next generation of integrated optical aiming systems for modern small arms. Leupold’s DAGR System integrates the cutting-edge Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44mm riflescope with the CQB-proven Aimpoint Micro T-1. American warfighters can go from 1x to 18x in a fraction of a second with this system. With an overall length of less than 12 inches and weighing just 34.2 ounces, the Leupold ECOS-O solution delivers an incredible field of view and rapid target acquisition at an unmatched length and weight. In order to increase the combat effectiveness, Leupold engineering redesigned the elevation turret to reduce the centerline distance between the two optics to 1-3/4 of an inch. This greatly increases the speed of target acquisition for CQB engagements. The DAGR System was recently submitted as the solution for the Miniature Day/Night Sight Enhanced Combat Optical Sight &#8211; Optimized (MDNS ECOS-O) government request for proposal. This system will be available for consumers in 2013. Built in Leupold’s Beaverton, Oregon facility, the ECOS-O is the latest in the company’s proud military history. Currently, more long-range Leupold tactical optics are in service with the U.S. military than any other brand. Aimpoint has been delivering red dot sights to the U.S. Army since 1997. The foundation of the DAGR is the Mark 6 3-18x44mm, which offers a specialized short zero lock 0.1 mil adjustment dial with pop up revolution indicator and an easy-to-adjust ocular housing power magnification adjustment. The system includes a Berry Compliant carrying case, Leupold’s Mark 6 Integrated Mounting System and Sight mount. Contact Leupold &amp; Stevens, Inc., 14400 N.W. Greenbrier Parkway, Beaverton, OR 97006. Phone: (503) 646-9171. On the web at www.leupold.com.</p>

<p>In-Range Supplies, a division of Range Systems, a leading manufacturer of live fire shooting products for the military, law enforcement and civilian communities, introduces the Sight-Bloc, their multi-level rifle rest. The Sight-Bloc is manufactured from Range Systems patented rubber composite made entirely from recycled rubber particles, which contain fire extinguishing properties, UV protection, and can endure extreme climate conditions. Unlike sandbags, which often shift, leak or absorb water, the Sight-Bloc provides a molded rubber construction that will not freeze, absorb water, or decompose, and always provides a stable and sturdy rifle shooting position. With portable metal gun rests, or with sandbags, it can be challenging to find the correct height to properly sight in your rifle. The multi-level Sight-Bloc features 2 recessed rests that can accommodate heights from 4 inches, 7 inches or 9 inches. It will also accommodate AR-15 platform rifles with 30-round magazines. The Sight-Bloc is currently being used by the U.S. Military and law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. In-Range Supplies&#8217; Sight-Bloc weighs 14 pounds and its sturdy construction will last a lifetime. The MSRP is $49.99. Contact them at In-Range Supplies, 5121 Winnetka Avenue North, New Hope, MN 55428. Phone: (877) 423-1785. On the web at www.in-rangesupplies.com.</p>



<p><strong>Crimson Trace Introduces Laserguard For Springfield XD-S</strong></p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

</div>


<p>The hot, new XD-S pistol from Springfield Armory will soon have the ultimate in laser sights from the leader in the category &#8211; Crimson Trace. The popular Laserguard model will be available in November with an MSRP of $219 through the company&#8217;s normal distribution network and direct from crimsontrace.com. The popularity of the XD-S hinges on its surprisingly slim frame, which makes the Laserguard platform the perfect combination because it adds no width or bulk to this compact .45 ACP pistol. With a powerful caliber and compact frame, aiming can cause a challenge to shooters. The Laserguard allows the user to get on target quickly due to its patented Instinctive Activation advantage. The Laserguard platform is essential equipment to conceal carry firearms &#8211; not a simple accessory. The entire unit adds virtually no weight to the firearm and is quickly and easily installed by the user simply securing around the trigger guard with provided screws. The profile for the pistol does change which is why Crimson Trace works with top holster manufacturers to create holster solutions for all Laserguard equipped firearms. Each Laserguard is pre sighted from the factory at 50 feet and is fully adjustable by the user to fine tune it to their chosen self defense ammunition. Featuring the most powerful laser allowable by law, the unit offers an industry leading 2 hour run time on one, easily replaced 1/3N battery, which also qualifies for the Crimson Trace &#8216;Batteries for Life&#8217; program. For more information please contact them at Crimson Trace, 9780 SW Freeman Drive, Wilsonville, OR 97070. Phone: (503) 783-5333. Fax: (503) 783-5334. Website: www.crimsontrace.com.</p>

<p>Drawing heavily on technology developed in support of America&#8217;s warfighters by its defense division, Crimson Trace will introduce a line of Infra Red (IR) laser sights for the civilian market. Observable only through night vision equipment, these laser sights offer the user the ability to mark a target invisibly, which is a boon for predator control, security personnel or anyone involved in the growing sport of hog hunting. Due to ITAR restrictions, these new IR sights will be available only through select distributors in July 2012 and will be the most cost-effective solution for anyone who seeks to add a covert night sighting solution to their firearm, listing at MSRPs of between $299 and $599. In order to assure the widest possible number of gun fitments, the first IR lasers to be made available will be the award-wining MVF-515 vertical foregrip and the hugely popular Rail Master mini laser. The Rail Master fits almost any firearm with a Picatinny rail and adds less than 2 oz. to the overall weight, while incorporating the most powerful laser available by law. The MVF-515 has an incredibly long run time and offers the additional benefit of a blinding, 200 lumen white light to enable the use of daytime optics as well as night vision devices. Crimson Trace will also introduce IR versions of its instinctively-activated Lasergrips for the 1911 and Glock pistols, assuring the same night vision compatible performance for sidearms. For more information please contact them at Crimson Trace, 9780 S.W. Freeman Drive, Wilsonville, OR 97070. Phone: (503) 783-5333. Fax: (503) 783-5334. Website: www.crimsontrace.com.</p>

<p>Bushnell Outdoor Products, an industry-leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60 years, has introduced a new line of short to mid-range riflescopes (SMRS). The Bushnell Elite Tactical SMRS 1-6.5x 24mm is available with two illuminated tactical reticles in both first and second focal plane. The new tactical SMRS 1-6.5x 24mm scope combines close quarters precision with outstanding mid-range capability. With a true 1x magnification and the new BTR-1 and BTR-2 reticle options, this scope delivers instant target acquisition and calibrated ranging for longer shots. The scope features an illuminated reticle with 11 brightness settings and a side parallax adjustment for quick focus at various ranges. The BTR-1 reticle is an illuminated, ballistically calibrated reticle that is optimized for use with 5.56/.223 caliber rounds. This bullet drop compensating (BDC) reticle provides accurate ranging and aiming to 600 meters. The BTR-2 is an illuminated mil-hash reticle that allows for ranging, holdover and windage adjustments. Both the BTR-1 and BTR-2 illuminated reticles are available in first or second focal plane. Bushnell Elite Tactical series scopes are built to withstand the rigors of the field, whether in military and law enforcement situations, competitions or countless rounds at the range. With fully multi-coated optics and the new anti-reflective Ultra Wide Band (UWB) coating, the scope delivers light transmission across more of the visible light spectrum than before. This feature leads to enhanced clarity, exceptional brightness and true color from dawn to dusk. Built from high-quality forged aluminum alloy, the scope features a robust 30mm one-piece tube and Argon purging. Integrated to deliver long-lasting performance and reliability, Argon provides added resistance against corrosion, reduced chances of fogging and longer seal life. The scopes are 100 percent fog proof, shock proof and waterproof. Bushnell takes all-weather performance a step further with its patented RainGuard HD lens coating. The permanent, water-resistant finish gives shooters a clear view when weather conditions present a challenge.

<p>I.O. Inc. is proud to introduce the PPS-43C pistol, imported from Poland and redesigned for modern use. The PPS-43C (Pistolet-Pulemet Sudaeva, model of 1943-Sudaev SMG) was designed as a more compact and mobile option than the PPSh-41 used by the Soviet Army during the early years of WWII. A designer named Sudaev offered the original prototype in 1942, then refined the design for the final product in 1943. The result was a mass production of the PPS-43 for the Soviet Army, with nearly 2 million manufactured between 1943 and 1946. Argued as the best SMG (sub machine gun) of World War II, the PPS-43 has now been redesigned to shoot from a closed bolt position with a safety located at the front of the trigger guard. The PPS-43C pistol has a stamped steel receiver and barrel shroud, an L-shaped flip rear sight marked for 100 and 200 meters, and a fixed blade front sight. The PPS-43C is chambered in 7.62&#215;25 mm TT and weighs 8.09 lbs with a loaded magazine or 6.7 lbs empty. The barrel length is 9.84 inches and has an effective range of over 200 yards. It is manufactured at the Radom Plant in Poland and has all new Polish made parts and components. The PPS-43C pistol is ATF approved, has an MSRP of $449.95 and ships with four 35-round curved box magazines. For more information they can be contacted at I.O. Inc., 3305 Westwood Industrial Drive, Monroe, NC 28110. Phone: (888) 968-4437. Fax: (704) 225-8362. Website: www.ioinc.us.</p>

<p>ASYM Precision announces the release of its new 9mm SDX Solid Defense X personal protection ammunition featuring the ultra-premium 115 grain Barnes solid copper TAC-XP bullet. The new ammunition was designed for maximum performance in today’s compact 9mm concealed carry firearms. The new ASYM 9mm SDX ammunition uses only premium components including the Barnes bullet. Offering the very best in fight-stopping terminal performance, this bullet delivers complete reliability and immediate expansion, even through heavy clothing. It delivers optimal penetration and nearly 100% weight retention. The Barnes TAC-XP bullet also offers the best in class performance through intermediate barriers such as auto glass and steel. As the bullet is a monolithic solid, there is no chance that a lead core will separate from a copper jacket. Extensively tested, this load was developed to pass all FBI protocol ballistic testing standards. Of particular interest to shooters using compact 9mm pistols for personal protection, this phenomenal bullet is designed to fully expand and perform even at the lower velocities that shorter barrels yield. The load generates 1,200 feet per second, and 368 ft. lbs. of energy from a 4 inch barrel. Full expansion occurs at approximately 950 fps and above, so even when fired from a short-barreled compact pistol, this load delivers the performance needed for effective personal protection. Built from the ground up, the new 9mm SDX Solid Defense X is a +P load assembled on state-of-the-art equipment customized to ASYM’s exacting standards. To insure ultimate reliability, each round is hand-inspected and individually chamber checked as part of an industry leading quality control process that insures outstanding performance from all ASYM ammunition.

<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color"><strong>Mounting Solutions Plus Introduces PKM Optics Mount</strong></p>



<p>The ArmaDynamics PKM-RAP (Rail Adaptive Platform) system is the world&#8217;s only truly quick-attach/detach accessory rail mounting available for the world-standard military issue Kalashnikov-pattern PK/PKM/PKMS/6P41 &#8220;Pecheneg&#8221; light machine guns. The PKM-RAP rail system is designed to permit the rapid mounting and adaptability of all military standard optical or electro-optical sighting and target designating devices or other accessories directly to the unmodified host-weapons&#8217; top cover through a fast, simple, and highly secure universal attachment via its Mil-Spec M1913-standard Picatinny rail interface. The RAP unit mounts to the weapon&#8217;s existing iron sight bases via a secured locking mechanism that, by design, permits the unit&#8217;s attachment even to damaged top-covers, yet still allows rapid securing or subsequent dismounting using no tools or proprietary modifications to the host weapon. It is equipped with an integral impact-drop safety mechanism. The PKM-RAP system can be mounted/dismounted one-handed in less than 3 seconds, and requires no modification to the existing arrangement of the iron sights. If the weapon is being employed only with iron sights and the tactical environment immediately shifts requiring the use of an optical sight, or night vision intensifier, the operator may instantly mount the PKM-RAP system with optics attached in seconds bringing these sighting enhancements immediately into action. After initial installation and zeroing, subsequent removal or re-attachment of the PKM-RAP mount allows immediate return to the combat zero of the attached optics. Conversely, if a RAP-mounted optical sight becomes unusable, the entire RAP mount can be removed in under 3 seconds returning the weapon to full effectiveness using the normal iron sights. The unit is designed to fit all European/ComBloc production variants of the PK/PKM/PKMS weapons made in Russia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, etc., that are factory equipped with the standard rear iron sight base.

<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color"><strong>Elzetta Announces New Tactical Strobe Tailcap</strong></p>



<p>Elzetta is pleased to announce their new Tactical Strobe Tailcap, available on new Elzetta ZFL-M60 LED flashlights and also available separately as an upgrade (all Elzetta flashlight components may be purchased individually). Unlike competitive designs, you do not need to know Morse Code to change modes. There are no multiple clicks, no confusing menus, and no precise movements required to change modes. On/Off is achieved with the pushbutton while High/Strobe is selected by rotating the Tailcap (fully clockwise is Constant-On while unscrewing the Tailcap anywhere from a few degrees to a 1/4 rotation engages the strobe feature). This decoupled user interface is simple and intuitive, appropriate for high stress situations. (The user interface is just like our popular High/Low Tailcap only a high-frequency strobe replaces the &#8216;Low&#8217; mode.) The Mode can be changed whether the Light is on or off. Also, unlike many competitive units, this High/Strobe Tailcap draws zero current when switched off so it will not drain your batteries when the light is in storage.

<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color"><strong>Three New Products from Iron Creations LLC</strong></p>



<p>Iron Creations LLC has three new products of special interest to the 1919A4 belt-fed shooter. The first is their Armorers/Display mount. This can be used either to work on the 1919A4 or just to display it without using a heavy, bulky tripod. It uses a standard .30 cal or .50 cal pintle and pins in place at the rear where the traverse would hook in. The mount comes apart for transport or storage and comes with all hardware except the pintle. It is black anodized and has rubber feet to keep it from sliding or marring surfaces. Next is their 1919A4 buttstock adapter. This is an adapter that allows an AR-15 stock to fit on the 1919A4. The 1919A6 looks cool but are very uncomfortable to shoot. With this adapter you can mount any AR-15 stock and solve the problem. All is does is replace the large screw in the back of the grip buffer tube. Then an AR stock just screws into the adapter. The adapters are made from steel and are parkerized. Finally, the have a 5-round 1919A4 linker. This is a small linker that is hand operated and very simple to use. Just lay in links and ammo, hold the black knob with one hand and push with the other to link 5 rounds at a time. This is an inexpensive way to link just a few at a time, especially in states where only 10 rounds can be link at once. Works with Israeli links and can link .308, .30-06 and 8mm.

<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color"><strong>Crimson Trace Announces Mil-Spec Laserguard for H&amp;K 45C</strong></p>



<p>Crimson Trace Corporation, manufacturer of Lasergrips and Laserguard laser-sighting systems and six time Academy of Excellence award winner for innovation, has launched their first product for a Heckler and Koch pistol &#8211; the Mil-Spec LG-645 Laserguard.

<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color"><strong>New Bushnell Rangefinding Binoculars</strong></p>



<p>With 15 years of laser rangefinder experience combined with over 60 years of optics ingenuity, Bushnell introduces the new Fusion 1600 ARC range finding binoculars. This device combines quality optics with the latest in laser range finding technology into one easy to carry package. The 10&#215;42 binoculars feature BAK-4 roof prisms, built-in battery life indicator, twist-up eye pieces, and fully multi-coated optics with RainGuard HD coating, fully waterproof and submersible to meet IPX7 waterproof specification. The built in laser rangefinder will measure distances from 10-1,600 yards. It features ARC (Angle Range Compensating) technology, which calculates the angle to the target and gives the &#8220;hold over&#8221; range for the rifle shooter, and true horizontal distance for bow hunters. There is a brush mode for measuring distances in heavy cover and a bullseye mode for ranging in open areas. An additional key feature in the Fusion 1600 ARC is the Variable Sight-In Distance capability or VSI. In rifle mode, users can select between 100, 150, 200 or 300 yard sight-in distances to accommodate their shooting styles and preferences. They can also choose between inches and MOA for holdover on longer shots. The range of angle measurement is -90 to +90 degrees. The Fusion 1600 ARC laser range finding binoculars includes a battery, neck-strap and carrying case for a suggested price of $899. You can contact Bushnell Corporation, Dept. SAR, 9200 Cody, Overland Park, KS 66214. Phone: (913) 752-3410. Fax: (913) 752-3539. Website: <a href="https://www.bushnell.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.bushnell.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Leatherman Introduces the MUT</strong></p>



<p>After more than 18 months of research and collaboration with competitive shooters and operational snipers, Leatherman has completed development of the MUT; an everyday carry multi-tool with central features for weapon maintenance. The MUT is the first tool to combine both weapon’s upkeep and general utility tools in one platform, making it the perfect tool for everyone from competitive and recreational shooters, to military and law enforcement professionals. Central to the MUT are: the bolt override tool to clear a jam without disassembly (also doubles as a hammer); replaceable carbon scraper to keep the weapon clean and performing at its best; replaceable firearm disassembly punch, the threads of which accept cleaning rods and brushes; replaceable cutting hook for clothing, zip ties, or cord; and interchangeable screwdrivers in the popular sizes for adjusting sighting systems. Utility tools include: a knife; saw; needle-nose and pliers; regular, hard and stranded-wire cutters, a carabiner/bottle opener, and optics mount adjustment wrench accessory. The materials used in the MUT include non-scarring bronze for the carbon scraper and 154CM steel that keeps an edge three-times as long for wires cutters. Other features include extra-large, one-handed opening blade and extra-long bits to reach into tight places. The bits were sized specifically for adjustment to all current and last-generation optics rings and pistol grips. In addition, quick and easy replacement logic was built into the most commonly used parts. The MUT will be available in a black or silver utility model and a black EOD version. The EOD model has mil-spec cap crimpers, fuze wire cutters and a C4 punch (instead of the firearms disassembly punch) designed for use by those in a breacher or EOD tech capacity. Both models come with a mil-spec MOLLE sheath and are covered under the Leatherman 25-year warranty. For more information please contact Leatherman Tool Group, Inc., Dept. SAR, 12106 Northeast Ainsworth Circle, Portland, OR 97220. Phone: (503) 253-7826. Fax: (503) 253-7830.

<p><strong>Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD with Threaded Muzzle</strong></p>



<p>The new Model 700 SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic) Tactical AAC-SD centerfire rifle chambered in .308 features the time-proven Model 700 action: the number one choice of police and military marksmen and one of the most popular bolt-action rifle series in America, with some of the latest performance-driven features including a threaded muzzle. At the core of the 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD is the machined solid-steel, cylindrical Model 700 receiver design ensuring uniformity, strength and solid bedding area. Unique to this precision rifle is the 20-inch heavy-contour clean barrel, threaded to accept AAC and all 5/8-24 threaded flash hiders, muzzle brakes and suppressors. The tactical-style carbon steel, hammer-forged barrel is the perfect balance between handling in tight spots and delivering pinpoint accuracy. With a twist rate of one in 10 inches, this rifle is optimized for accuracy. These specialty, bolt-action rifles are shipped with a thread protector installed. The rock-solid barreled action is bedded into a well-designed, Hogue Overmolded Ghillie Green pillar bedded synthetic stock with a semi-beavertail fore-end for added stability. This soft-touch, sure-grip stock is extremely comfortable for extended, long range shooting and assures a positive grip in both stressful situations and inclement weather. The dual point pillar bedding guarantees a solid interface between the action and stock to help insure cold bore accuracy and prevent point-of-impact shifts. Add Remington’s X-Mark Pro externally adjustable trigger, designed to “break-like-glass” and set at 3.5 pounds from the factory, and this rifle delivers surgical-like accuracy. Other key features include receiver drilled and tapped for the addition of optics; distinctive laser-engraved “Tactical Rifling 1 in 10” roll mark; convenient hinged floorplate magazine with 4-round capacity; non-reflective, black oxide external metal finish; and sling swivel studs. The suggested retail base price is $757. For more information contact Remington Arms, Dept. SAR, 870 Remington Drive, P.O. Box 700, Madison, NC 27025. Phone: (336) 548-8820. Fax: (336) 548-7741.

<p><strong>New Configurable AR-15 Lower from Lancer Systems</strong></p>



<p>The L15’s changeable Magwells make it the most versatile AR receiver available today. With three Magwell configurations to choose from the L15 lower can be rapidly customized for a specific mission, trip to the range or 3-gun match. The Tactical and Competition Magwells have a large smooth funnel-like internal surface to facilitate rapid magazine changes. The standard size Magwell emulates the size of a typical AR lower. The Magwells attach to the lower via a captured rail and lock into place with a standard front takedown pin. The use of the takedown pin allows the Magwells to be removed without the use of special tools. The Magwells are precision machined from aluminum billet to match the features in the lower ensuring there is no rattle during operation. The lower also features an ambidextrous bolt release and oversized magazine release button. The L15 lower is available stripped or complete with various trigger and magazine well options. For more information you can contact them at Lancer Systems, Dept. SAR, 7566 Morris Court, Suite 300, Allentown, PA 18106. Phone: (610) 973-2614. Fax: (610) 973-2615.

<p><strong>TacStar Adds Capacity to Mossberg 930/935 Shotguns</strong></p>



<p>TacStar &#8211; a Lyman Brand &#8211; has added two new products that increase both the magazine capacity and shell holding capacity for Mossberg’s newest autoloading shotguns. Both the new Magazine Extension and new SideSaddle Shellholder offer fast, easy, no-gunsmithing mounting. The 930/935 Magazine Extension features rugged all-steel construction and increases magazine capacity by three shells. The extension simply replaces the screw-off magazine cap and includes an extended magazine spring to retain factory function and reliability. TacStar’s 930/935 SideSaddle quickly gives the shooter an extra six shells securely held to the side of the shotgun’s receiver.

<p><strong>Crimson Trace Announces Laserguard for Ruger SR-9c</strong></p>



<p>Crimson Trace has announced the upcoming release of a New Laserguard product for the Ruger SR-9c: the LG-449. The newest addition to the immensely popular Laserguard family attaches to the trigger-guard and is instinctively activated with a pressure button located on the front of the grip. Tested with over 5,000 rounds of 9mm +P, this secure platform holds zero shot after shot providing the repeatability and performance that Crimson Traces’ customers have come to expect. As with all Laserguard models, the LG-449 attaches to the trigger guard, leaving the grip of the gun unencumbered for an ergonomic, instant activation that assures accurate and quick shot placement. The Laserguard housing is manufactured out of rugged polymer with a rubber-overmolded activation pad. The rock-solid Laserguard uses the frame of the pistol as its foundation for stability, giving the LG-449 industry-leading shot repeatability. The design of the LG-449 follows the sweeping lines of the SR9c to produce an appealing accessory that looks natural to the pistol itself. The same texture pattern on the frame of the pistol is carried over to the texture of the LG-449 making the combination of the superb handgun and laser aiming device seamless and unobtrusive. The ultra-compact 3.3mm diode powered by either one-1/3N 3V lithium battery or two-357 silver oxide batteries gives this Laserguard model an extremely compact yet powerful beam that is completely user-adjustable for both windage and elevation. With over 4 hours of illumination with either choice of batteries, the LG-449 will be ready when you are. MSRP is $209. For more information please contact Crimson Trace Corporation, Dept. SAR, 9780 Southwest Freeman Drive, Wilsonville, OR 97070. Phone: (503) 783-5333. Fax: (503) 783-5334. They can be found on the web at <a href="https://www.crimsontrace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.crimsontrace.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Crimson Trace Introduces New LaserGrips for the Ruger LCP</strong></p>



<p>Crimson Trace has just introduced its new LaserGrips for the popular Ruger LCP compact pistol. The Model-431 further cements Crimson Trace’s move into the sub-compact market of polymer-frame concealable handguns. The Model LG-431 adds very little mass to the already compact package of the Ruger LCP allowing the pistol to fit into most holsters. It attaches directly and securely to the trigger guard of the polymer frame using two screws that add to the overall stability of the unit. The LaserGrips clamp to the outside of the trigger guard while hugging the frame as it nears the front of the pistol. With the laser diode housing directly under the barrel, it allows the laser to be closer to the bore of the gun creating a very accurate laser sighting device. It is instinctively activated by a pressure switch built into the front underside of the polymer LaserGrips. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. All electrical components fit into the LaserGrips and are ergonomically designed for comfort. The Model LG-431 uses either two #357 silver oxide batteries or a single 1/3N 3 volt lithium battery. These small batteries allow the LaserGrips to be unobtrusive yet powerful enough to provide the brightness that Crimson Trace customers expect. Another feature of the LG-431 is that it uses the smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode versus the standard 5.6 diameter diode that is found in most all other brands of laser sighting devices. This reduces the overall size of the laser diode housing. As with all other LaserGrips, the LG-431 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to adjust the laser on their own. All LaserGrips come with an accessory pack that contains batteries, hex wrenches for laser adjustment, a cleaning cloth and several cleaning swabs. A three-year warranty is standard. For more information contact Crimson Trace Corporation, Dept. SAR, 9780 Southwest Freeman Drive, Wilsonville, OR 97070. Phone: (503) 783-5333. Fax: (503) 783-5334.

<p><strong>Trijicon Unveils New AccuPoint Riflescopes</strong></p>



<p>Hunters and serious shooters the world over have asked for it, and Trijicon, Inc. has delivered the first series of Trijicon AccuPoint riflescopes to combine the company’s advanced, self-luminous aiming technologies and superb clarity with the added precision of the hunting industry’s most popular reticle &#8211; a crosshair. The new Trijicon AccuPoint with an illuminated crosshair reticle does not require batteries for operation eliminating the need for extra batteries and potential for failure during a critical moment in the field. The new Trijicon AccuPoint riflescope series is designed to deliver accurate, effective aiming under even the most challenging conditions. Trijicon’s exclusive battery-free tritium technology provides precise amber illumination where the crosshairs intersect for effective aiming and optimum target clarity, regardless of available light. The new series of Trijicon AccuPoint riflescopes with a crosshair reticle also features Trijicon’s newly updated Manual Brightness Adjustment Override, which allows the user to shade the tritium and fiber-optics during daylight for the option of decreasing the brightness of the illuminated reticle during increased light situations. In addition to this new illuminated crosshair reticle, Trijicon will continue to offer the original triangle reticle design, which has the additional benefit of the Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC), allowing the shooter to keep both eyes open while tracking, taking aim, and shooting. These new models are loaded with advanced optical elements like multi-layer coated lenses for superior light transmission with no distortion offering exceptional clarity and precision. Additionally, a quick-focus eyepiece, long eye relief, and precise windage and elevation adjustments make the Trijicon AccuPoint easy to zero and quickly make in-the-field adjustments. Each weather-resistant, nitrogen-filled scope body is carefully crafted from aircraft quality, hard anodized aluminum for superior performance and durability. Trijicon’s black matte finish reduces glare to help conceal the shooter’s presence for wary game. For more information, please contact Trijicon, Dept. SAR, 49385 Shafer Ave., Wixom, MI 48393. Phone: (800) 338-0563. Fax: (248) 960-7725. You can also visit them at <a href="https://www.trijicon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.trijicon.com</a>.</p>



<p><strong>DoubleStar Now Has New Dovetail Angle Mount for AR-15/M16</strong></p>



<p>DoubleStar Corp. has announced the development of a new dovetail angle mount for the AR-15 rifle. The new angle mount is made from 6061 T-6 aluminum and hard-coat anodized to military specifications. It still allows use of the rear sight and works well for attaching scopes, lasers, lights or other accessories at a 45-degree angle. The angle mount clamps onto a flat-top upper and can be mounted on either the left or right side and is securely held in place with three socket-head screws and a clamp. This new angle mount uses two mounting screws for a secure lock as compared to most mounts on the market that use only one screw and are prone to movement. DoubleStar’s U.S. made angle mount retails for $24.95. For more information on this as well as an extensive line of other firearms accessories please contact DoubleStar/J&amp;T Distributing, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 430, Winchester, KY 40391. Phone: (859) 745-1757. Fax: (859) 745-4638.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><em>By <strong>Chris Choat</strong></em><br><br><strong>SureFire Introduces New X300 WeaponLight</strong><br><br>When SureFire introduced its X200 WeaponLight series several years ago, they decided to offer two versions: one with a tightly focused beam for extended reach and one with a wider-angle beam more suitable for CQB (close quarter battle) situations. With the introduction of their new X300, users can now enjoy the best of both worlds with one light. The X300 WeaponLight’s solid-state light emitting diode produces a beam that’s tight enough to penetrate the night but with enough surround beam to prevent any surprises in closer-range applications &#8211; an unfortunate cause of too many accidental shootings. With a maximum output of 110 lumens, the X300 is bright enough to both illuminate a threat and temporarily overwhelm his night-adapted vision. This updated version of their most popular WeaponLight will offer tactical professionals and concerned civilians alike one weaponmounted light that just about does it all. Its versatile beam pattern provides users with a tactical advantage in longer-range and close-quarter engagements and makes the X300 a great choice for a home protection.<br><br>The X300’s virtually indestructible light emitting diode has no filament to burn out or break, making it immune to the effects of recoil. Electronic current regulation pushes the LED to generate five times the light of a two-D-cell flashlight and keeps it producing tactical-level output (60 lumens or more) for nearly two and a half hours on a set of batteries. A specially designed Total Internal Reflection lens gathers virtually all of the LED’s light and shapes it into a tightly focused central beam with a user-friendly gradually diminishing corona. A hard-anodized aerospace grade aluminum body protects the X300’s internal circuitry, and gaskets and O-rings make the unit watertight to 30 meters. The light features ambidextrous switching, and an assortment of remote switches allowing precision control without altering one’s grip on a weapon are available for many handgun models. The lightweight X300 (only 3.7 ounces with both batteries installed) easily slides on to most handguns featuring a Universal accessory rail. It also fits many rail-less handguns via a SureFire rail adapter and can be attached to any Mil- Spec Picatinny rail, making it a viable option for many rail-equipped long guns as well. Retail price for the new X300 will be $225 and is available through authorized SureFire dealers or direct from SureFire. You can contact them at SureFire LLC, Dept. SAR, 18300 Mount Baldy Circle, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. Phone: (714) 545-9444. Fax: (714) 545-9537.

The new scope is in the sub $100 range.<br><br>Over the past several years, shooters all across North America have been noticing Mueller’s products and their overall price to performance ratio, and with the introduction of Mueller’s newest high-end scope, (the TAC II &#8211; retail $299) the glowing reviews and accolades have continued. In one third-party review the TAC II was judged to have outperformed both the 3200 and 4200 from Bushnell and the Vx3 offering from Leupold.

Their newest Model is the LG-402M (Mil-spec) for the Beretta Model 92/96/M9 pistol. The LG-402M LaserGrips for the Beretta are a first for Crimson Trace as they meet the military’s strict Mil-Std-810F specification for waterproofness, salt spray and immersion in water to 1 meter for 30 minutes, and other torture type testing. The LG-402M rubberized front strap has two plastic wearpoints on both sides of the activation strap for added durability under the harshest conditions. The rugged and uniquely textured polymer side panels are effective with both a gloved hand and bare hands even when wet. A magnetized slot inside the grip itself is used to house a .050 hex wrench for sighting of the LaserGrips if needed. Two 2032 batteries located in each side of the grips provide over 4 hours of a constant-on beam. A master switch is located in the bottom of the grip to disable activation on the laser. These grips are the highest example of Crimson Trace design and quality and are based upon extensive field data from American fighting men and women. Crimson Trace has also just introduced the Model LG-660 LaserGrip that fits the Smith &amp; Wesson line of M&amp;P full size semi-auto pistols. The innovative design is one of the most integrated and easy to install laser products as it simply replaces the stock backstrap of the M&amp;P. A rear activation switch makes it truly instinctive to activate. A master switch is located on the backstrap and uses a new touch sensor-switch verses a mechanical switch as found on other LaserGrips. This allows the user to turn the unit on or off even while using gloves by simply pressing and holding the recess pressure. Because they are made with the same polymer material as the frame of the M&amp;P, the Model LG-660 LaserGrips flow seamlessly into the design of the gun. For more information on either of these, or any of their extensive line of laser products, please contact Crimson Trace Corporation, Dept. SAR, 9780 SW Freeman Drive, Wilsonville, OR 97070.
