</div>


<p>The new <strong>Optika5 2-10&#215;42 PA riflescope</strong> with side parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity delivers image focus at close ranges – a feature rimfire and air rifle enthusiasts will appreciate – and gives hunters and target shooters the ability to dial in the focus at longer ranges.Engineered to withstand heavy recoil, this newest addition to the Optika5 series is also designed for superb performance on centerfire, muzzleloader, and slug guns – making it an excellent choice for hunting a variety of species from varmints to big game.</p>



<p>The Optika5 2-10&#215;42 PA features a 1-inch main tube, 5x zoom, zero-reset turrets, and advanced lens coatings for true color representation and unsurpassed. Meopta’s proprietary MeoBright lens coating delivers maximum light transmission per lens surface while suppressing reflection and glare. Meopta’s MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating repels water and makes it easy to wipe off grease, skin oils, and dirt.</p>



<p>Capped hunting turrets are made of rubber-armored metal for the perfect combination of durability and functionality. The rear-facing magnification display allows for easy viewing of the power setting from behind the scope, and the zoom ring comes with a throw lever for quick adjustment of the power setting in the field or on the range. Windage and elevation adjustments are ¼ MOA. Two second focal plane reticles are available – Z-Plex or Z-Plus.</p>

<p>The <strong>DRD Tactical ARES</strong> is an Adaptive Retention System for rifles. This locking retention system is simple to operate and ensures rifles stay secure while offering an ergonomic, easy release. The ARES reduces fatigue and strain by spreading of the rifle’s weight across armor carriers or tactical vests while reducing undesirable movement allowed by slings. The product installs easily on any MOLLE system carrier and is compatible with AR rifle platforms and a wide variety of firearms with QD sling attachment points. Additionally, an integrated adapter ($24.99) is available separately as an upgrade to the end plate.</p>



<p>“We’re excited to be able to offer accessories which allow our customers to customize and optimize their firearms. We offer a premium brand and now we’re also able to offer the premium furniture and accessories to match,” said CEO Larry Williams. Williams continued, “It’s rewarding to be able to dive headfirst into projects like this which allow us to leverage our capabilities while enhancing the experience for our customers.”</p>

<p>Warcat Tactical, a new name in the firearms accessories and tactical gear market, launched its brand with the debut of the new <strong>Warcat Tactical</strong> <strong>Appendix Carry Holster.</strong> Designed with a minimalist approach and aiming for peak performance, Warcat Tactical has created a thinner, lighter, and stronger holster than the industry standard Kydex holsters currently available.</p>



<p>Using 3D modeling, precision injection molding, and specially blended polymers, Warcat Tactical holsters are made entirely in the USA for much less than competing brands. Warcat Tactical was born out of a necessity for a professional grade holster at an accessible price.</p>

<p>Spyderco’s remarkable SLIPIT family of knives combines the advantages of clip-carry and easy one-handed opening with the broad legal acceptance of the non-locking folder. One of the newest members of this unique breed is the <strong>Lil’ Native SLIPIT</strong>, which replaces the Compression Lock and back lock of the original model with Spyderco’s “notched-joint” mechanism. An enhanced version of a traditional slipjoint, this mechanism uses spring pressure to hold the knife’s full-flat-ground CPM S30V blade open but does not lock it. Peel-ply-textured G-10 scales ensure a non-slip grip, and a broad-based, four-position clip offers ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry.</p>

<p>Bianchi, a brand of Safariland Group, announced the launch of the <strong>Bianchi 126GLS Assent concealment holster.</strong> This is the first Bianchi leather holster to incorporate Safariland’s advanced GLS (Grip Locking System) retention, offering multi-fit capability. The Model 126GLS Assent holster is an open-top design that combines leather with a laminate synthetic liner for durability, comfort, and additional functionality. The GLS retention automatically secures the gun when holstered and releases it upon application of the middle finger with a standard shooting grip for an intuitive and safe release. The 126GLS comes in six sizes to fit over 250 firearms.</p>

<p>After the acquisition of the HexMag brand in 2017, SENTRY Products Group expanded their magazine and on-gun accessory line. The most recent advancement is SENTRY’s <strong>Carbon Fiber AR-15 magazine,</strong> made from a proprietary carbon fiber composite blended with SENTRY’s PolyHex2 polymer, for durability and consistent performance. As with all HexMag products the new carbon fiber AR-15 Mag features the patented Hexture pattern for confident and positive grip, no matter the environmental conditions. A heat-treated stainless-steel spring eliminates corrosion and resists fatigue even while loaded for long periods of time. Customization can be done through HexMag’s True Riser system to create state-compliant 10-, 15- and 30-round configurations; and with the SENTRY HexID color identification system, the user can quickly identify caliber and ammo type through the coded safety system featuring high visibility followers and latch plate. </p>

<p>MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, introduced the <strong>MasterPiece Arms Grenade</strong>. MPA Grenades are chassis that pass MPA’s inspection in every way except cosmetically. Whether it be a small ding in the paint, a run-in with a laser that was having a slightly off day or some other minor cosmetic blemish, these chassis will still function with the same flawless perfection you expect from MPA, but with their own special flair.</p>



<p>The blemishes will all be considered mild and, in most cases, are difficult to identify without very close inspection. The small grenades lasered on them will mark them as the unique MasterPieces that they are. These are hand-built precision instruments and not production components.</p>

The flex plate bends when the pistol is inserted, acting as a retention assist. The hard base makes the holster durable, so it can be worn through any activity level. Users can adjust the fit via the mounting hardware, or even customize it with the included Parts Pack. Please note that the holster shell is custom-molded for the Springfield Hellcat and is only compatible with the factory slide. (The Cloak Mod OWB Paddle Holster is patent pending.)</p>

Arms Best Bench Mount is precision-machined 304 stainless steel, brass alloy and hard-coat anodized aircraft grade aluminum making it an all-weather tough piece of equipment.</p>

</div>


<p>CMMG has announced the release of the MkG45 GUARD—a new AR15 rifle chambered in the iconic .45 ACP caliber. The GUARD is offered in five different configurations, operates on CMMG’s new, patent pending Radial Delayed Blowback system and is fed from Glock magazines.</p>



<p>While the straight blowback system found on most pistol-caliber AR carbines utilizes a non-rotating bolt assembly, the Radial Delayed Blowback system used on the GUARD has a bolt carrier group (BCG) that appears similar to that found on a direct impingement AR15 but operates completely differently. The rotating bolt is the key to the Radial Delayed Blowback system. It is the act of the bolt being forced to rotate and unlock that slows down the BCG just enough to safely cycle .45 ACP while keeping the BCG and buffer lighter than 9mm AR15’s.</p>



<p>The MkG45 GUARD comes with one 13-round factory Glock 21 magazine. For optimal reliability, CMMG recommends using factory double-stack GLOCK .45 ACP magazines. Bolt weight kits will be sold separately for those who wish to fine-tune the GUARD for +P ammunition or suppressor usage.

<p>DRD’s new APTUS weapon system in 5.56 Nato or 300BLK calibers is designed using their patented quick change barrel and internal recoil system on a direct gas-operated rifle.</p>



<p>With Magpul folding stock, the weapon can be fired with the stock folded unlike standard AR platforms. This allows the operator to quickly change the barrels to fit the mission. All lower parts and some BCG parts are M4 compatible. It can go from PDW to DMR in less than 1 minute.</p>

<p>The new for 2017 Cold Steel Frenzy draws inspiration from ancient Japanese Kabutowari, with a noticeably thick spine, slender blade, needle-sharp piercing point and long flat cutting edge. The Frenzy was designed by award-winning custom knife maker Andrew Demko and weighs just less than 6 ounces, making it thin and flat enough to comfortably carry. Premium American CTS XHP-powdered steel was chosen for the Frenzy’s 5.5-inch blade, and the knife is available in three different dual-tone G10 handle options: blue/black, OD green/black or grey/black.</p>

<p>The Renegade Plus series embodies everything a direct impingement AR-15 can be. The initial offerings quickly became popular among shooters who push the limits of the .223/5.56 NATO cartridge. This extended range application warranted a new addition to POF-USA’s Renegade line up. New for 2017, POF-USA releases the Renegade Plus SPR. It still boasts the upgraded features the Renegade Plus is known for, such as a nine-position adjustable gas block, roller cam pin, heat sink barrel nut and more, but with an 18.5-inch barrel and adjustable Luth-AR MBA stock. These upgrades go well above mere aesthetics often found in rifles today.</p>

The Spektre provides maximum concealment and a comfortable custom-engineered fit for your weapon that can be worn strong-side IWB or in the appendix (AIWB) carry position. Each holster can be configured with one of three available attachment systems to better fit your preferred style of carry.</p>



<p>The Spektre is currently available for most popular semi-auto pistols. For most double-stack pistols, the Spektre will accommodate most popular pistol-mounted red dot optics. Shooters are also able to adjust the fitment and tension of the holster to suit their individual preference, using a custom tensioner that precisely adds or removes pressure from the holster’s capture feature. All holsters have an open bottom to enhance comfort and permit the use of after-market and threaded barrels.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CORE RIFLE SYSTEMS NEW FOR 2017 CORE 6.5 GRENDEL RIFLE PLATFORM</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="544" height="432" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/001-8.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35932" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/001-8.jpg 544w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/001-8-300x238.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>The 6.5 Grendel rifle is now available in two CORE platforms, the new TAC 6.5, and all the HARDCORE models. As part of this the 6.5 Grendel is also offered in both 18” and 20” CORE Rifle System barrel lengths.</p>



<p>The 6.5mm Grendel design goal was to create an effective 200-800 yard AR-15 magazine length loaded cartridge for the AR-15 platform that surpassed the performance of the native 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington cartridge. Constrained by the length of the 5.56mm NATO round, the Grendel designers decided to use a shorter, larger diameter case for higher powder volume while allowing space for long, streamlined, high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets. Firing factory-loaded ammunition loaded with bullets ranging from 90 to 129 grains (5.8-8.4 g), its muzzle velocity ranges from 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s) with 129- and 130-grain (8.4 g) bullets to 2,900 ft/s (880 m/s) with 90 gr (5.8 g) bullets (similar in velocity to a 5.56mm 77-grain (5.0 g) round).</p>



<p>The case head diameter of the Grendel is the same as that of the parent case, the .220 Russian, the 7.62×39mm and PPC cases. This is larger than the 5.56×45mm NATO, thereby necessitating the use of a non-standard AR-15 bolt. The 6.5 Grendel has proven to be highly effective as both a competition shooting round and a hunting round. Because of its flat trajectory the round has been successful in hunting small to large game including Bear and Elk.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ELITE SURVIVAL SYSTEMS SHIFT 2-TO-1 POINT TACTICAL BUNGEE SLING</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="455" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/002-8.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35933" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/002-8.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/002-8-300x195.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>Single-point slings have increased in popularity over recent years due to ease of use and the fact that they often contain an internal bungee layer. Bungee provides a measure of neck relief as well as stretch and resistance when in a shouldered position to help you remain stable. The new SHIFT 2-to-1 Point Tactical Bungee Sling from Elite Survival Systems not only contains an internal bungee layer, but allows you to instantly convert from the more stable two points of attachment to a versatile single point attachment sling with the snap of a hook. This versatility not only allows you to choose your style of attachment on any particular weapon, but allows you to use the sling on a greater variety of weapons and helps reduce the number of slings you may need in your kit. The SHIFT sling comes standard with both HK-style snap-hooks and MASH attachment hooks for even greater versatility. It offers a quick-ditch option via the side-release buckle and has a large degree of adjustment to fit comfortably over armor and gear. The sling is made in the USA and carries the Elite Survival Systems lifetime guarantee.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOGUE INC. ANNOUNCES LASER-ENHANCED GRIPS FOR SMITH &amp; WESSON K/L AND J FRAME REVOLVERS</h2>

</div>


<p><em>(Editorial correction from SAR V21N5)</em>&nbsp;Hogue, Inc. is proud to announce the newest additions to their growing line of Laser Enhanced (LE) Grips. Revolver grips for Smith &amp; Wesson’s round butt K/L and J Frames are now in stock. “For years our customers have been asking for Hogue Grips with lasers,” said LE Grip designer and managing partner Jim Bruhns. “We have expanded our line of Hogue LE Grips to include models for Smith &amp; Wesson K, L and J Frame owners in direct response to customer demand.”</p>



<p>Hogue’s LE Grips are the first handgun laser sighting system on the market based on a fully programmable, digitally controlled microprocessor circuit. Hogue’s designers capitalized on the advantage by programming three operating modes (steady, flashing or stealth target) and four laser brightness levels into the LE Grip’s circuit. They also tapped into sophisticated power management routines to ensure long life from two common CR-2032 batteries hidden under the grip on the non-laser side–an important design feature enabling battery changes that won’t take the laser out of zero. Each LE Grip is bore-sighted at the factory while fine windage and elevation adjustments are accessible via small set screws. All of the Hogue LE Grip’s programming features are accessible via pressure-sensitive programming buttons.</p>



<p>The Hogue LE Grips for S&amp;W revolvers are truly unique; the company’s engineers embedded the system’s 630-670nm</p>



<p>Hogue LE Grips are manufactured in their family-owned and operated USA facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOGUE HANDALL BEAVERTAIL GRIP SLEEVES</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="576" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/005-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35936" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/005-5.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/005-5-300x247.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>The new grip sleeves are designed to fit specific polymer pistols now on the market. “Polymer pistols do not have removable grips that you can simply replace,” said grip designer Matt Hogue. “The solution for many of these pistols is our new HandALL Beavertail Grip Sleeves.”</p>



<p>The Beavertail Grip Sleeve line has been engineered with models for precision fits on specific firearms. The initial offerings in this series have sleeves designed for perfect fits on three sizes of polymer firearms. The first offering precisely fits Smith &amp; Wesson’s M&amp;P 9mm and 40 Shield and Ruger’s LC9. The second sleeve fits Glock’s 42 and 43. The final sleeve is designed for Smith &amp; Wesson’s M&amp;P 45 Shield and Kahr Arms’ P9, P40, CW9 and CW40.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="551" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/006-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35937" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/006-4.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/006-4-300x236.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>
</div>


<p>While each sleeve has been created for a precise fit on specific polymer framed firearms, they also alternatively fit many other similarly sized firearms with a fully functional and aesthetic fit. “These sleeves also provide a very nice fit for many pistols that may not have any other alternative available on the market,” said Hogue.</p>



<p>The Beavertail Grip Sleeves are installed by slipping them over the frame of the firearm until seated into perfect position. Once installed, the HandALL sleeve provides a single finger groove for instinctive handling of the firearm. The finger groove leads into a gentle palm swell that has been carefully designed to fit naturally in the hand. The beavertail built into the grip sleeve rises high along the back strap of the frame giving full rubber contact with the hand allowing a higher hand-placement on the grip without the fear of the slide biting the skin between the thumb and the trigger finger. In addition to protection and comfort, the beavertail also cushions the hand during recoil.</p>



<p>The HandALL is built from a long-lasting durable thermoplastic elastomer compound. This rubber ages very gracefully and keeps a firm, tacky feel throughout the life of the grip. It will not harden, split or crack with age or usage. The grip sleeve is textured with Hogue’s familiar Cobblestone texture, a series of small circular bumps that provide an efficient non-slip, non-irritating grip on the rubber. Hogue’s HandALL Beavertail Grips Sleeves have an MSRP of $9.95 for black and $10.95 for OD green, flat dark Earth, pink and purple.</p>



<p>Hogue grip sleeves are manufactured in their family-owned and operated facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family.</p>



<p>Hogue, Inc. supports local dealers and encourages customers to purchase Hogue products locally.

<p>Getting an accurate firing solution requires detailed information about the bullet and gun, the target and the environment. For a shooter to gather all that data, compute a solution and then dial their hold to take a shot is time-consuming and introduces opportunities for mistakes. Kestrel’s engineering team has created the LiNK communications protocol for connecting the components of a ballistics system. With LiNK, laser range finders, scopes and smart devices can all be connected to the Kestrel, replacing button presses on multiple devices for seamless, accurate shooting solutions when and where you want them.</p>

<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="600" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/001-46.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35289" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/001-46.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/001-46-300x257.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>

<p>FN America, LLC, is pleased to announce the latest addition to the FN Military Collector Series—the semi-auto FN M249S Para or Paratrooper model, originally developed for airborne troops. Building on the company’s unique tradition of offering semi-automatic variants of the most popular military-designed firearms, the rifle will join the full-size FN M249S Standard and the FN 15 Military Collector M4 and M16. The M249S Para is the fourth in their series of classic, semi-automatic FN military rifles, and like the Standard, the Para is authentic to the last possible detail. You’ll notice only two major differences between the semi- and full-auto versions—the barrel length and reconfigured internal components to change the rifle’s operation from open-bolt to closed-bolt. Authenticity was critical in this series, and they changed as little as possible. The rifle features a machine-gun-grade, 16.1-inch, cold hammer-forged barrel, closed-bolt for semi-automatic-only operation, classic M249 flip-up feed tray, integrated steel bipod, robust gas-piston system and the iconic telescoping and rotating buttstock, making it lighter and more compact. The rifles will be available in either black or Flat Dark Earth (FDE). The guns will accept either 30-round M-16 style magazines or 200-round plastic ammo boxes.

<p>Gemtech has just introduced its first new suppressors for 2017. The first is their new LUNAR-45. The Gemtech Lunar-45 is the culmination of decades of silencer innovation. They have created the lightest and quietest modular .45 suppressor available that is able to be taken apart and cleaned. The Lunar-45 is crafted from military-grade aluminum and titanium for the utmost in durability and strength. The modular suppressor is available in either a short length (6.9 inches) or a long length (8.5 inches), depending on the shooter’s needs. The short suppressor is said to have a 136 dB noise reduction, and the longer version has a 129 dB reduction. Gemtech offers a variety of mounting options for the Lunar-45 allowing it to be used with a variety of platforms and calibers. The new suppressor is also full-auto-rated.</p>



<p>The other new suppressor is their INTEGRA, which is an AR-15 integrally suppressed upper receiver. The new suppressed upper will be available in both 5.56 and 300 BLK. Gemtech has teamed up with NEMO Arms to create the smallest and easiest-to-maintain package the shooting world has ever seen. The INTEGRA utilizes Gemtech’s proven G-Core Technology that is removable, cleanable and replaceable while still bringing the best sound reduction of any similar-sized package. The NEMO Arms patented gas block eliminates blowback, making this upper more comfortable to shoot. The barrels of both units offer either 10- or 10.5-inch lengths with integrated lengths of 16.1 inches overall.

<p>Sturm, Ruger &amp; Co., Inc., is proud to announce the addition of the Ruger American Pistol Compact in .45 Auto. This newest compact model is offered in the “PRO” configuration with no external manual safety. Originally introduced in December 2015, the feature-rich Ruger American Pistol was designed with the latest U.S. Military standards in mind and was tested in the harshest environments to ensure the rugged reliability consumers have come to expect from Ruger. Ruger polled law enforcement and military trainers throughout the country to select the form, function and features of the Ruger American Pistol. The resulting pistol combines a recoil-reducing barrel cam (which better spreads recoil over time) with a low-mass slide, low center of gravity and a low-bore axis to provide better balance, less felt recoil and less muzzle flip than comparable pistols. The Ruger American Pistol also features a pre-tensioned striker system, which allows for a short take-up trigger with positive reset, and a modular wrap-around grip system that adjusts palm swell and trigger reach to fit a wide range of hand sizes. With a 3.75-inch barrel, overall dimensions of 7.25 inches long, 4.65 inches high and a weight of 28.6 ounces, the Ruger American Pistol Compact model shares all of the features and rugged reliability of the duty-size gun in a smaller, lighter, more concealable package. It ships in a hard case with medium and large replaceable grip modules and two nickel-Teflon-plated steel magazines (one 10-round extended magazine and one 7-round compact magazine). The American-made Ruger American Pistol is built on a rigid, one-piece, precision-machined, stainless steel chassis with integral frame rails and fire control housing. Additional features include genuine Novak LoMountCarry three-dot sights, a stainless steel slide with a non-reflective, black nitride finish, a one-piece, high-performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame and a mil-standard 1913 accessory rail.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MICRO RONI AND NON-NFA MICRO RONI NOW AVAILABLE</h2>

<p>CAA, developers and manufacturers of advanced battle-tested firearms accessories, announces that the highly anticipated Micro RONI and the non-NFA Micro RONI with Stabilizer Brace are now shipping throughout the country to distributors and qualified dealers. The Micro RONI and the Micro RONI-STAB are the most compact pistol-to-carbine conversion kits ever produced. The Micro RONIs are each fitted for GLOCK models 17, 22 and 31 or models 19, 23 and 32—model specific. The Micro RONI-STAB carbine conversion requires no paperwork, no tax stamp and best of all, no wait! It features an officially licensed SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Brace which enhances one-handed firing of the Micro RONI-STAB by attaching to the operator’s forearm. The Pistol Stabilizing Brace has an adjustable and flexible nylon strap for a custom fit for any user. Although originally designed for wounded combat veterans and others with disabilities that inhibit their ability to securely hold a firearm, the overwhelming acceptance of the Brace within the firearms community has propelled the product to be one of the most sought after PDW pistol accessories on the market. The Micro RONI-STAB is constructed from high-quality reinforced polymers to exacting tolerances. The Micro RONI is by far the quickest and easiest conversion kit and can be converted in less than two seconds! It is also the most cost-effective. The Micro RONI with folding stock can be secured on a single-point sling and easily concealed for private security personnel. The pistol can still be operated with the right-folding stock folded. The space-saving Micro RONI makes an excellent personal or home protection carbine. For GLOCK aficionados, the Micro RONI will take their best pistol score at 25 yards and increase its range up to 100 yards with fantastic accuracy potential. No tools are necessary to convert the pistol to a carbine. By simply dropping the pistol in the kit and locking it, the Micro RONI conversion kit with the integrated pistol now functions as a singular, durable and accurate unit. Topped with a long Picatinny rail for the addition of lights, laser and NVDs, the Micro Roni’s features do not stop there. Additional accessory space has been added with two extra Picatinny rails on either side of the frame. An extra magazine carrier in front of the pistol aids in fast reloading and offers additional grip placement. Both Micro RONIs are ambidextrous, including many of the controls such as the trigger guard safety and a superfast cocking handle. Optional thumb rests are serrated in right and left positions for increased recoil control and controlled muzzle rise. New optional integral flashlights for the Micro RONI have been designed for the GLOCK Models 17 and 19. The FLFR features an on/off switch on its side and has a powerful 500 lumens of white light using a highly efficient LED. The Micro RONI and Micro RONI-STAB are available in Desert Tan, Black and OD and open the possibilities for Gens 3 and 4 GLOCK owners.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SHELL SHOCK’S REVOLUTIONARY 9-MM NAS3 CASES AND RELOADING TOOLS NOW AVAILABLE</h2>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="550" src="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/005-21.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35029" srcset="https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/005-21.jpg 700w, https://smallarmsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/005-21-300x236.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>

<p>Shell Shock Technologies, LLC, an early-stage technology and manufacturing company focused on developing innovative case technologies for the ammunition industry, announces that its revolutionary NAS3 cases and S3 Reload tools are now available for sale on its website (www.shellshocktech.com). NAS3 cases are 50-percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases also offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger) and elasticity than brass. NAS3 cases will not split, chip, crack or grow (stretch) and are fully reloadable with S3 Reload dies. Customers have reported being able to reload NAS3 cases many more times than brass cases. A video can be found on Shell Shock’s website showing 9-mm Luger NAS3 cases being reloaded 32 times using S3 Reload dies. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases eject cool-to-the-touch and can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification. NAS3 cases are “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility) 9-mm rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.93 fps (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3 fps). New NAS3 cases do not need sizing or flaring (i.e., requiring few stations/operations on the loading machine); they are delivered sized, flared and ready for primer, powder drop, bullet drop and crimp. Reloaders may find that NAS3 cases also require less crimping than conventional brass cases. Shell Shock’s NAS3 cases can be reloaded using a specially designed set of S3 Reload sizing and flaring dies. NAS3 cases are manufactured in two parts that are held together by a high-strength compression joint. Conventional reloading dies can put unnecessary stress on this joint (caused by the way cases are pulled out of the dies using the case rim/extraction groove). Unlike conventional brass cases, NAS3 cases were designed to enable the highest possible number of reloads. Conventional reloading tools are not suitable for use with NAS3 cases. To maximize the number of achievable reloads, S3 Reload sizing and flaring dies incorporate a spring mechanism that pushes the case out of the die without any risk of damaging the case. This technique puts no stress on the compression joint and does not damage the case rim. S3 Reload dies are designed to work on most bench-top reloading presses, including Hornady, Lee Precision, Inc., RCBS and Dillon Precision Products, Inc. machinery. S3 Reload dies can also be used with conventional brass cases. More information on the S3 Reload dies, including instructional videos, can be found at <a href="http://www.shellshocktech.com" target="_blank" data-type="URL" data-id="www.shellshocktech.com" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.shellshocktech.com</a>.</p>
