<p><strong><em>.45 ACP Defensive SCHP</em></strong> <strong><em>Ammunition</em></strong></p>



<p>Steinel Ammunition, a premium manufacturer of self-defense, hunting and target ammunition, introduced its premier <strong>.45 ACP self-defense round</strong>. Using a 185-grain, lead-free, solid copper hollow point (SCHP) bullet, this round achieved a muzzle velocity of 980 FPS from 4.3-inch barrels in an FBI gel test. Using shorter barreled guns, such as the 2.5-inch Smith &amp; Wesson Night Guard™, resulted in industry-leading expansion.</p>



<p>The .45 ACP self-defense round has an expansion rate of greater than .8 inch and penetration of 13 inches. Steinel’s .45 ACP Defensive SCHP has proven to be reliable with no feeding issues and consistent shots in a variety of 45-style pistols from 1911s to revolvers. This round is great for concealed carry, training and range time.</p>

<p><strong><em>Element Mini Solar</em></strong></p>



<p>Sightmark’s new 1x28mm <strong>Element Mini Solar red dot</strong> combines battery power with the failsafe capabilities of solar power. The highly anticipated 1x28mm Element Mini Solar is a compact sight which combines efficient solar cell technology with additional battery power to deliver a clear 3-MOA red dot in virtually any environment. The Element Mini Solar runs off of a single CR2032 battery, but shooters also have the option of switching to solar power and using the powerful solar cells found on top of the optic. If the Element’s battery completely dies, its Dual Power technology allows the sight to be solely ran off of solar power. This red dot is ideal for use on everything from MSR platforms to tactical shotguns.</p>

Currently priced at $99.99, GLx riflescope mounts launch with four models to accommodate 30mm and 34mm scopes with a 0MOA or 20MOA cant.</p>



<p>Made in the USA, every GLx mount features a durable 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction with MIL-SPEC hard coat anodization for superior longevity, even in the most demanding conditions. The steel hardware comes with a black zinc phosphate coating that greatly improves corrosion and abrasion resistance.

<p><em>By Chris A. Choat</em></p>



<p><strong>Aimpoint T-1 QD Mount from GG&amp;G<br></strong><br>The new Aimpoint Micro T-1 is a great lightweight tactical scope, but the scope design does not accommodate flip-up lens covers. It comes with bikini lens covers that are not easy to remove, keep in place or reinstall and are easily lost. GG&amp;G has now come up with a solution that is so unique, it has a patent pending. That solution is an Accucam Quick Detach T-1 Mount that includes a built-in provision that provides for the installation of a flip-up lens cover for the ocular end. Additionally, the kit includes a specially prepared flip-up cover that fits the objective lens. The Aimpoint T-1 easily and solidly installs onto the GG&amp;G Accucam QD mount with four 3mm screws. The installation wrench is included in the kit. The ocular end of the T-1 scope fits perfectly into the small integral lens cover flange, and while providing the means to mount a flip-up lens cover, it does not interfere with the field of view. The T-1 mount is manufactured from solid billet 6061 T6 aluminum and is Type III hard coat anodized matt black per mil-spec. The new GG&amp;G T-1 QD Mount is manufactured to mount directly to the AR-15/M16 integral rail. This will position the red dot just above the front sight post, yet is low enough to co-witness with the GG&amp;G MAD, A2 or Spring Actuated A2 BUIS. The Accucam Quick Detach Locking Lever System provides the shooter with a solid method to quickly install or remove the T-1 from the weapon in just a few seconds. Unlike other QD systems, it is fully adjustable to fit either Weaver or MIL-STD- 1913 rails. The unique design also allows you to adjust tension to accommodate out-of-spec or worn rails. The finger loop on the mount is easily operated even with a gloved hand and its rounded edges are snag proof. For more information on this new mount as well as their full line of innovative firearm accessories, please contact GG&amp;G, Dept. SAR, 3602 E. 42nd Stravenue, Tucson, AZ 85713. Phone: (800) 380-2540. Fax: (520) 748-7582. Their website is <a href="https://www.gggaz.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.gggaz.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Magpul Introduces New Polymer PMAG</strong></p>



<p>The Magpul Polymer Magazine (PMAG) fits the M16 series and other 5.56&#215;45 NATO compatible weapons. It features numerous enhancements intended to improve reliability, long-term storage, overall durability and is designed to fit 30 rounds without any need for downloading. A loaded magazine inserts and locks easily in a closed bolt weapon or may be stored for extended periods with the unique Impact Cover in place. The PMAG also features a special anti-tilt follower that prevents binding and improves feeding consistency. An optional MagLevel Round Indicator System allows for visual identification of round count on either side of the magazine. The Impact Cover snaps firmly onto the top of the PMAG via interlocking tabs (unlike aftermarket dust covers) and can be quickly removed with one hand.Fitted into place, the Impact Cover provides impact protection for the feed lips, prevents dirt/dust intrusion, and eliminates distortion of the feed lips caused by longterm loaded storage. When separated, the Impact Cover serves as a magazine tool that facilitates unloading and disassembly. A lanyard hole is included to prevent part loss. The proprietary Anti-Tilt Follower works in conjunction with the magazine body to stabilize the loaded round stack. The PMAG body features a constant internal curve (unlike metal magazines with a curve-to-straight transition) and allows for consistent round stack regardless of round count. This configuration prevents many of the common feeding malfunctions seen in other magazines such as nose-diving and bolt-over head failures. The optional MagLevel Round Indicator System tracks the amount of loaded rounds remaining in the magazine.

<p><strong>Saiga 12 Drum and Forearm Rail from Alliance Machine</strong></p>



<p>Alliance Machine LLC has just introduced their new 20- round drum magazine for the Saiga 12 shotgun. Called the WraithMaker, the new drum is CNC machined from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum and hard coat anodized for extreme durability. The new drum also features hardened stainless steel feed lips and sealed internal bearings. The WraithMaker will fire most brands of 2-3/4 inch shells from birdshot to slugs.

<p><strong>CTK Precision Introduces New P3 Mono-Grip</strong></p>



<p>CTK Precision has just introduced their new P3 Mono-Grip; a vertical foregrip and a monopod all in one. The P3 Mono-Grip turns a vertical foregrip into a shooting rest with a simple turn of the wrist. The new Mono-Grip provides a rock solid support, but still gives you the flexibility and versatility when you need it most allowing you to immediately pivot your firearm from left to right to get on target fast. It is CNC machined from billet aluminum for high strength and light weight (only 6.4 oz.). Other features include a hard coat anodized finish and flat sides for attaching pressure switches. A collapsed height of 4.75 inches and an extended height of 8 inches allow the use of a 30-round magazine. The spring loaded, pop out design adjusts from a grip to mono-pod in seconds. The durable rubber foot on the bottom resists slipping and will not harm finishes. The new Mono-Grip fits all Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rails. For more information, or to place an order, please contact CTK Precision, Dept. SAR, E5861 Herzberg Road, Marion, WI 54950. Phone: (715) 754-2891.

<p><strong>Laser Devices Introduces New High Power Tactical Lasers</strong></p>



<p>Laser Devices, Inc., manufacturer of state-of-the-art visible and infrared aiming lasers, handheld and weapon-mounted tactical lights and small arms training systems is pleased to announce the new high power models of the Inline and Offset Tactical Aiming Lasers-ITAL-HP and OTAL-HP. These two new models feature a high power focusable/defocusable infrared (35mW) (835nM) beam. When focused, the beam provides pin-point aiming and pointing. When defocused, the beam spreads to provide supplemental infrared illumination for use with night vision devices. Each device is also equipped with a low-power setting to reduce the output power to an eye-safe level for use indoors, at close range and for force-on-force training exercises. A focusing ring on the front of the housing allows the user to focus or defocus the laser depending on their mission requirements. Defocusing the laser provides supplemental spotlight illumination to search shadowed areas. When the laser is focused to a point it can be used for precise aiming of the firearm or as a target pointer. The ITAL-HP and OTALHP are activated using a remote cable pressure pad switch. This electronic switch allows the user to operate the laser in a momentary mode by pressing and releasing the switch or to instantly activate the laser in a continuous ON mode by tapping the switch twice. A built-in safety circuit automatically turns the laser off after five minutes of continuous activation. Like the original ITAL and OTAL the ITAL-HP and OTAL-HP are manufactured to meet MIL-STD-810F requirements for reliability under the most adverse environmental conditions from desert heat to arctic cold. Fully waterproof to 3 meters and precision machined from hard anodized aircraft grade aluminum, the ITA-HP and TOTALHP are virtually indestructible. Powered with a single AA battery, these devices are lightweight (6.1 ounces) and compact (3.7 inches long and 1.75 inches wide). ITAHP and TOTAL-HP are available with two mounting options: Quick Release Throw Lever mount or Knurled Thumb Screw mount and supplied with one AA battery and a remote cable pressure pad switch. Optional accessories include pattern generating optics and a diffuser to provide wide area illumination at close range. ITAL-HP and OTAL-HP are powerful infrared laser devices that are only available to law enforcement and military agencies. In addition, they are subject to U.S. Export control through the International Trafficking in Arms Regulations. For more information, please contact them at Laser Devices, Inc., Dept. SAR, 2 Harris Court, Suite A-4, Monterey, CA 93040. Phone: (831) 373-0701. Fax: (831) 373-0903. Website: www.laserdevices.com.</p>

<p><strong>Wilson Combat Introduces the Elite Tactical Magazine for the 1911</strong></p>



<p>Wilson Combat, developer and builder of the legendary 47 Series magazine, announces a completely new 1911 magazine for serious, particularly combat oriented, shooters: the Elite Tactical Magazine, or ETM. Designed from the start as an 8- round magazine, it is the ultimate single stack magazine. The ETM features a heavier, stainless steel tube that’s more resistant to spreading and lip failure than any previous magazine, by any manufacturer. The re-designed spring is new and is more reliable and longer lasting than anything previously available. Numbered cartridge observation ports are located on the rear edge of each side of the tube, 1 through 10 numbers are etched on the base pad for tracking your magazines, and an innovative base pad allows for a longer tube and less spring compression, with a perfect flare for a sure grip when removing a magazine under adverse situations. Every component is either stainless steel or super tough nylon, making the ETM impervious to the elements. For more information on this new magazine, as well as their complete line of guns and accessories, please contact Wilson Combat/ Scattergun Technologies, Dept. SAR, 2234 County Road, Suite 719, Berryville, AR 72616. Phone: (870) 545-8618. Fax: (870) 545-3310.

<p><strong>M240 Machine Gun Foregrip and Rail Adapter</strong></p>



<p>Special Tactical Services, LLC, now has a new adapter kit that allows the user to add useful accessories to the M240 machine gun by means of a rail (patent pending). This short rail adapter assembly fitted to the forward mount lug is primarily designed for rapid and rugged attachment of vertical foregrip assemblies but the attachment is also suitable to accessory bipod assemblies that utilize a Mil-Std 1913 interface (Picatinny Rail Grabber). As the pivot point has been moved closer to the operator, the STS adapter provides a more natural handling point and improved ergonomics. Bipods attached in this location allow for a more rapid traverse and offer handling characteristics that emulate the Mk43/M60-E3 configuration for quicker engagement of multiple targets dispersed across the field of fire. Installation is quick and easy. Simply pull the center pin all the way out to the right side. The pin is captive and will stop in the fully disengaged position. Place the adapter over the receiver forward the mounting hole location. Push the pin all the way left, through the receiver lug into the fully engaged position and securely attach the rail accessory or grip of your choice. STS does not recommend the attachment of polymer or cast metal (MIM) rail interface material. Plastic or rubberized grips are fine; so long as they incorporate a high quality machined metal rail grabber. For more information you can contact them at Special Tactical Services, LLC, Dept. SAR, Diamond Springs Road Suite B, Virginia Beach, VA 23455. Phone: (757) 554-0699. Fax: (208) 693-9692.

<p><strong>New SureShell Shotshell Carrier from Mesa Tactical</strong></p>



<p>Mesa Tactical, provider of high quality tactical accessories and gear to law enforcement, military and civilian shooters, announced the availability of its four-, six-, and eight-shot SureShell shotshell carrier and optics rail assemblies for Mossberg’s Model 500 and Model 590 pump action shotguns. Mesa Tactical’s aluminum SureShell shotshell carriers are an industry standard and the preferred choice of most federal, state, and municipal law enforcement agencies due to their hard anodized aircraft aluminum construction and fail-safe shell retention system.</p>



<p>Mesa Tactical has been supplying shell carriers for the Mossberg 500 platform since November 2005, but this current announcement highlights the availability of integrated shell carriers and optics rail assemblies. Similar products have been available for the Benelli M2, Benelli M4 and Remington 870 platforms for years, but this is the first time integrated shell carriers and rails have been offered for the Mossberg shotguns. SureShell shell carrier and rail assemblies for the Mossberg pump shotguns feature four-, six- or eight-shell shotshell yokes fitted to a bracket incorporating a Mil-Std 1913 (NATO STANAG 2324) Picatinny optics rail. The rail bracket is secured to the shotgun receiver using the optics rail mounting holes already drilled and tapped into the Mossberg receiver at the factory. The optics rail stretches most of the length of the shotgun receiver, or about 4.5 inches, allowing the mounting of a red dot scope or other target acquisition aids. In addition to the standard 4.5 inch rails, Mesa Tactical is also offering four-, six- and eight-shell carriers in a full length (20 inch) configuration. Twenty inch rails allow the use of back-up iron sights (BUIS) in addition to optics. The full length rails are supported at the front by Mesa Tactical’s new Magon magazine clamps. A unique feature of the full length rail and Magon clamp system is the ability to completely field strip the weapon, including removal of the barrel and bolt carrier, without tools, leaving the rail and clamp intact. A full length rail is also available with no shell carrier. For more information contact them at Mesa Tactical, Dept. SAR, 1760 Monrovia Ave., #B1, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. Phone: (949) 642-3337.

<p><strong>AccuCover Increases Accuracy While Reducing Parallax Error</strong></p>



<p>British designed and manufactured, the AccuCover is an entirely new concept in scope cover design. As you would expect from a manufacturer of quality scope covers, it provides excellent protection of your scope and lens against whatever the elements can throw at it. However, what really makes the AccuCover unique is its ingenious patented design which helps you soot both faster and more accurately. This is done quite simply with the addition of high visibility markings on the rim of the scope cover. When you aim, your eyes traditionally focus on the crosshairs within the scope and the target behind. With AccuCover, your peripheral vision also come into play, sensing the four markings on the rim and helping to keep your eye aligned with both crosshairs and target. By simply aligning the brightly colored chevrons with the crosshairs, the eye becomes centralized to the scope. Its simplicity is its beauty. With all three elements aligned, this not only allows you to acquire the target faster, it also ensures a more accurate, consistent shot. The benefits of the AccuCover are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Reduced parallax error &#8211; excellent cheek weld delivering greater accuracy</li><li>Reduced rifle cant &#8211; less rifle tile delivering greater accuracy</li><li>Faster eye alignment &#8211; especially in dusk/dawn lighting conditions</li><li>Silent push-button opening &#8211; ensuring a stealthy approach</li><li>Cover folds flat to scope &#8211; eliminating undergrowth entanglement</li><li>Water resistant &#8211; as you’d expect from a first class scope cover.</li></ul>



<p>AccuCover is already being used by British police forces for firearm training and on sniper rifles and the military is also learning of the benefits of this simple product. It comes in three sizes, which fit up to 99% of all ocular rifle ends. For more information, contact them at AccuZero Ltd, P.O. Box 6387, Leighton Buzzard, Beds, LU7 6BY Great Britain. Phone: +44 (0) 7958 195446. Website: www.accucover.com.</p>

<p><strong>SIG Sauer Introduces New M400 Carbine</strong></p>



<p>SIG Sauer, Inc., the leading manufacturer of commercial, law enforcement and military firearms, introduces an improved version of the current 5.56x45mm military issue centerfire tactical carbine, the SIG M400. The SIG M400 has been introduced for consumers who prefer the direct impingement gas system and have an inventory of parts and accessories for the original M4-style carbine. Built with SIG Sauer quality and reliability, the SIG M400 is also an exceptional value for those seeking an AR-platform rifle. To increase accuracy over mil-spec carbines, the SIG M400 features a tensioning device designed into the lower receiver that ensures a tight lockup and eliminates accuracy-robbing play between the upper and lower receivers. The lower receiver has all the same features as the SIG 516 such as an ambidextrous magazine release and rear quick-detach sling mount. Both receivers are machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum forgings and coated with a durable phosphate finish. The upper receiver features an integrated Mil-Std 1913 accessory top rail for mounting optics and accepts most M16/AR-15-style furniture. A six-position collapsible polymer stock offers adjustability to fit all shooters. An enhanced version of the SIG M400 features all Magpul furniture. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the SIG M400 will be available in semiautomatic for commercial users. Three-round burst or fully automatic versions will be made available for military and law enforcement. Built to full military specifications, the SIG M400 features a 16-inch chrome moly steel barrel with a chrome-lined chamber and bore. A direct-gas impingement system operates a seven-lug, rotating bolt. The muzzle is threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI to accept a variety of flash hiders, compensators or suppressor mounts. An M16A2 flash compensator is included. A removable sight assembly and carry handle, 30-round magazine and hard case are standard features on this rifle. For more information please contact SIG Sauer, Inc., Dept. SAR, 18 Industrial Drive, Exeter, NH, 03833. Phone: (603) 772-2302. Fax: (603) 773-2113.

<p><strong>Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Announces new 8X USMC Sniper Scope</strong></p>



<p>One of the most recognized names in military sniping during the Vietnam conflict was Marine Corps marksman Carlos Hathcock. During his two tours, he was credited with 93 confirmed kills. The rifle he relied on for very precise long range shot placement was a Model 70 Winchester, of .30-06 caliber, topped with an 8x Unertl scope. Scopes of this design, with micrometer click external adjustment, were once favored by long range precision shooters, and quite a few different scope manufacturers offered very similar models. Today, an original USMC marked scope in mint condition can sell for as much as $5,000 to $6,000. With the current interest in shooting and competing with vintage style sniper rifles, just a working standard model scope in very good condition can still bring $2,000 or more. Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Optics is now adding an 8X USMC-SNIPER model to its Wm. Malcolm line of vintage style riflescopes. Not only will this scope match the originals for extremely precise adjustment of windage and elevation, the new made scope also offers the advantages of modern lens making, with fully multi-coated lens surfaces for maximum light transmission. This scope offers the brightest, clearest, and sharpest optics ever in a riflescope of this design. The scope will be marked with the Wm. Malcolm name over the USMC-SNIPER model designation, and each will be serial numbered &#8211; as were the original USMC models. The Marine Corps utilized this style of scope on sniper rifles during WWII and Korea. The new Wm. Malcolm 8X USMC-SNIPER captures the look, the precision and the accuracy capable with riflescopes of this type. At the $549 suggested retail price, it is far more affordable than a serviceable original from the 1940s, or even the 1970s when they were still in production. Like all Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Optics, the Wm. Malcolm USMC-SNIPER model comes backed with a limited lifetime warranty. You can contact them at Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Optics, Dept.

<p><strong>New High Tech Suppressors From Thompson Machine</strong></p>



<p>Thompson Machine’s Poseidon series of sound suppressors represent something truly new on the sound suppressor market. While most 9mm and .45 ACP pistol suppressors are 7 + inches long and weigh in at around 10 ounces or more, Thompson Machine’s Poseidon 9mm is a scant 4.25” in length and weighs a barely-there 3.5oz. Designed to suppress your sidearm to a hearing-safe level without significantly affecting its handling characteristics, the Poseidon series of suppressors uses artificial environment technology combined with a cutting edge baffle design to provide shocking efficiency and sound suppression in an impossibly small package. Perhaps most amazingly, the Poseidon .45 which quiets the bark of the mighty and venerable .45 ACP cartridge is only 4.5 inches long and weighs less than 5oz. In addition to their line of micro-suppressors (which includes a 4-inch .22 LR suppressor called the Wasp for rimfire enthusiasts), Thompson Machine manufactures a full range of suppressors, from 4 different models of .22 LR muzzle suppressor up to 5.56 and .30 cal. centerfire rifle suppressors. Everything that Thompson Machine makes is easily disassemble-able for cleaning and user service, which is also a feature that sets their suppressors apart.

<p><strong>Israeli Special Forces DVD from Mako Defense</strong></p>



<p>With the release of its DVD titled Israeli Special Forces Training: Counter Terror Carbine, Mako Defense now offers video training information that enables anyone to understand and apply the unique advantages of the Israeli Method of fighting with a tactical carbine. This DVD parallels the live Mako Defense courses currently being offered across America. It gives viewers the opportunity to learn and practice techniques that can save their lives and the lives of innocent victims. The Israeli Method of fighting revolves around the concept of using speed and accuracy to quickly neutralize any threat, while protecting bystanders. As presented by Mako Defense, it is designed to give U.S. law enforcement officers the most effective methods for working alone, with a partner, or in a team; to give military combatants the skills required for a successful mission; and enable civilians to become highly competent in every aspect of using their tactical rifles for home defense as well as shooting sports. Mako Defense Training &#8211; live and on DVD &#8211; is fast-paced, exciting and readily understood by everyone. Even in live classes where law enforcement officers, military personnel and civilians often train together, each person is able to learn at their own pace and within their different physical capabilities. DVD training can be repeated and reviewed endlessly at no additional cost, to perfect the Israeli Method techniques shown. Each technique is presented, demonstrated, and then broken down, while being filmed from multiple angles, before being demonstrated at speed in live fire drills. Viewers can experience dry-fire practice of the methods taught in the DVD course. Mako Defense instructors are experienced warriors who have seen extensive action as members of Israel’s most elite special operations units. They are certified as instructors by the Israeli government and teach the Israeli Method on a daily basis in Israel and around the world. The lead instructor featured in these videos has responded to most hostage situations in Israel from 1995 to the making of the video. Instructors were also members of the leading Israeli Police counter-terror and hostage rescue team. They have completed years of service in both a military unit that is the equivalent of the U.S. Delta Force, and in an undercover unit that specializes in the abduction or elimination of high-level terrorists.

<p><strong>New PEL-6 Secutor From Strategos International</strong></p>



<p>Strategos International, LLC announces the most highly evolved hand-held and weapon-mounted lighting tool; the PEL-6 Secutor, now available to tactical officers for close quarter conflicts and low light environments. Strategos was the first to recognize that operators required a complete paradigm shift in light tool operation and created a tool that would change the market and affect low-light training methodology. The LedWave PEL-6 Secutor is the latest technology in illumination tools using feature-rich and intuitive electronics.</p>



<p>The Secutor, named after a class of gladiator in ancient Rome, utilizes a 212 LED that produces over 120 Lumens of bright white light. Featuring a patented user interface of a rotating tailcap, the flashlight enables the user to program constant on modes thus enabling functions to be activated with one hand. The user does not have to alter his grip to push buttons or rotate bezel rings to achieve immediate tactical functionality. The Secutor allows the operator to adjust the levels of light from low (variably and fully adjustable) to its unique high output disorienting strobe light. The original design was one of the first to incorporate rapid strobe disorientation into a handheld, everyday flashlight. The strobe function was designed to affect adversaries by reducing or eliminating their ability to maintain balance, peripheral vision and depth perception, thus allowing operators to act quickly and maintain situational awareness. The Secutor Momentary and Constant On switches are easily accessed with a one or two finger rotation of the tail cap. The unique lock-out system on the Secutor prevents the light being accidentally activated in high risk diminished light situations and also when storing the light. The Secutor is easily activated from the lock-out position under duress with the snap of the thumb or fingers. The new PEL-6 Secutor, the next generation of tactical light technology, features more stable electronics preventing unintentional battery drain and providing better programming stability. The new surface coating of the Secutor is made from a super durable ceramic that prevents scratches better than the previous model. For more information you can contact them at Strategos International LLC, Dept. SAR, 12909V S 71 Hwy, Grandview, MO 64030. Phone: (816) 795-3768. Fax: (816) 795-2753.

<p><strong>Bushnell Elite Tactical Scopes Are Professional Grade</strong></p>



<p>The new Bushnell Elite Tactical series scopes are built to withstand the rigors of the field, whether in military and law enforcement situations, three gun competition or countless rounds at the range. The Elite Tactical series features the best Bushnell has to offer &#8211; optical excellence, precision engineering and rock-solid reliability. With fully multi-coated optics and the new anti-reflective Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Coating, Elite Tactical riflescopes deliver light transmission across more of the visible light spectrum than before. What that means for shooters is enhanced clarity, exceptional brightness and true color from dawn to dusk. The 100 percent waterproof, fog proof and shock proof Elite Tactical series is now more reliable than ever, thanks to the newly introduced Argon-purging process. Argon provides added resistance against corrosion, longer seal life and reduced chances of fogging. Another benefit of Argon is that it conducts heat at a slower rate, drastically reducing thermal conduction within the scope to provide long-lasting performance. Bushnell takes all-weather performance a step further with its patented RainGuard HD lens coating. The permanent, water-resistant finishes causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet and condensation to bead up and scatter less light, giving shooters a clear view when weather conditions become a challenge. Elite Tactical scope tubes are hammer-forged from high-quality, rugged T6061 aluminum. The scopes feature target turrets for rapid adjustment to range and windage. The Elite Tactical Series product line includes seven riflescopes, including one fixed 10x magnification scope and two first focal plane riflescopes with illuminated reticles and .1 Mil adjustments. The scopes are backed by the Elite Bullet-Proof Warranty &#8211; a no questions asked one-year replacement warranty. Contact Bushnell Outdoor Products, Dept.

<p><strong>Command Arms Introduces New Magazines and M4 Handguards<br><br></strong>Command Arms Accessories (CAA)/EMA Tactical is proud to introduce their new and innovative Three Window Magazine. The three built in windows allows the operator to see how many rounds remain in the mag allowing the operator to keep track of his remaining rounds and facilitates timely magazine changes without the operator losing his sight picture. Simply glancing down at the back of the magazine from his cheek weld shows the approximate number of rounds remaining. When the magazine is full the operator will see the brass round casings in the top and middle windows. The (orange) follower will appear in the bottom window indicating a full magazine of 30 rounds. As rounds are fired, the operator glances at the middle window. When the middle window is empty only 19 rounds remain in the magazine. Then the operator glances at the top window. When the top window is empty only 11 rounds remain. This three window system shows that when the middle window is empty the operator has 2/3 or fewer of the rounds remaining and when the top window is empty only 1/3 of the rounds remain in the magazine.</p>

<p>Also new from Command Arms Accessories/EMA Tactical is their M4S1 M16/AR-15 Carbine Handguard System, which sets the standard for a stable and rigid design by combining interlocking top and bottom handguard sections with a bottom rail that can be mounted to the existing sling swivel mount for absolute rigidity. The M4S1 handguard will not move once locked in place providing repeatable zero. This is the first lightweight polymer handguard designed to withstand the extreme operating temperatures of a gas piston system. This extreme heat resistance is achieved by manufacturing the M4S1 from a proprietary heat resistant polymer, including a heat shield and providing significant upper and lower handguard venting in the design. The M4S1 also works with standard direct gas operating systems. The M4S1 includes two interchangeable lower rails of 4- and 1.75-inch lengths. This allows the operator to quickly change rails based on mission need. The two 1.75-inch side rails are removable if not required. Even with the side rails attached there is enough room left on the contoured handguard for your hand to hold it comfortably. An optional 9-inch long aluminum top rail attaches to the handguard and flat top rail providing a super stable platform for mounting optics and sights. The M4S1 also includes two mounting points for a push button quick detach sling swivel. For more information contact Command Arms Accessories/EMA Tactical, Dept. SAR, 1208 Branagan Drive, Tullytown, PA 19007. Phone: (215) 949-9944. Fax: (215) 949-9191.

<p><strong>CCI Introduces New Tactical .22 Long Rifle Load for AR Style Rifles<br><br></strong>CCI now offers a load specifically for AR-style rifles: new .22 Long Rifle AR-Tactical. These new rounds are built to CCI&#8217;s high standards. The AR-Tactical bullets offer excellent accuracy &#8211; including 1.5 inches at 100 yards for 10-shot groups in factory testing. Testing also was conducted specifically for common law enforcement and military Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P 15/22 firearms. This testing confirmed the performance that tactical users require. A CCI case, primer and bullet lube combine with clean-burning powder to provide tactical-grade performance. The 40-grain rounds are a target bullet with a copper-plated round nose (CPRN) for smooth feeding. Tactical shooters can blast through an entire magazine without worrying of a glitch in feeding or on-target performance. A speed of 1,200 fps allows for excellent accuracy with low recoil. The AR-Tactical ammunition is available in 375-count loose packed, re-closeable boxes. For more on this new .22 LR ammunition contact ATK, Dept. SAR, 900 Bob Ehlen Drive, Anoka, MN 55303.

<p><strong>Brownells Announces New AR-15/M16 &#8220;Paratrooper&#8221; Charging Handle<br><br></strong>The Brownells Paratrooper Charging Handle for AR-15s and M16s improves the function of your favorite modern sporting rifle by providing the longest grasping surface on the market today. When you need to use it, the handle&#8217;s deeply serrated front face ensures non-slip hand contact for positive operation in all conditions. The Paratrooper is an oversized, left-side lever that folds against the receiver to present a slim, no-snag profile during carry or storage. It angles down slightly when retracted, so it won&#8217;t interfere with a scope or sight mounted on the receiver rail. The handle is 2.5 inches wide when open, and measures just under an inch wide when folded. Made in the U.S., the Paratrooper Charging Handle is machined from billet 7075 T6 aluminum &#8211; the same material as USGI receivers &#8211; for superb strength and reliability. The hardcoat-anodized finish resists corrosion and surface wear, and the matte-black finish matches most factory receiver finishes. The AR-15/M16 Paratrooper Charging Handle (#080-000-819) is drop-in ready for a Mil-Spec AR-15/M16 upper receiver. There&#8217;s no gunsmithing required. To learn more about the Paratrooper Charging Handle, you can contact them at Brownells, Dept. SAR, 200 Front Street, Montezuma, IA 501714. Phone: (641) 623-5401. Fax: (641) 623-3896.

<p><strong>Hyskore Introduces Black Rifle Machine Rest and Armorers Vice</strong></p>



<p>The new Hyskore Black Gun Machine Rest allows the user to sight in and find out exactly how accurate the gun is. It progressively absorbs the recoil pulse by employing two long (110mm) stroke nitrogen filled compression dampers assisted by adjustable coil springs. This gives it the unique ability to handle everything from .22 LR to .375 H&amp;H. With previous machine rests you had to change dampers for different calibers. In addition, the dual rail design of the Black Rifle Machine Rest accommodates pistol grips and high capacity magazines allowing it to be used with 30- or even 40-round magazines of any caliber. The gun can be fired from the shoulder, using the buttstock strap, directly off the shoulder without the strap, or with the strap and secured in the vise for repeatability testing. The entire vise assembly can be removed to expose a platform for rest bags and a remote hydraulic trigger release is included with the rest. The rest has ambidextrous windage adjustment knobs and ball bearing elevation adjustment. The rest even has mounting tabs to bolt it to your shooting bench. Also new from Hyskore is their new Armorer&#8217;s Vice. The portable Armorer&#8217;s Vise can be used at the workbench or at the range. It is a versatile gun servicing fixture that clamps to a bench top and rotates 360º around a horizontal axis. A gun can be held at any required angle for all cleaning and servicing procedures. Both new products can be used with bolt guns as well as &#8220;Black Guns.&#8221; For more information on these and an extensive line of fine firearm accessories please contact Hyskore, Dept. SAR, 193 West Hills Road, Huntington Station, NY 11746. Phone: (631) 673-5975. Fax: (631) 673-5976.

<p><strong>Troy Battlemags Now Shipping</strong></p>



<p>Troy Industries is pleased to announce that they have started shipping their much anticipated CBIR (Chemical, Biological, and Impact Resistant) polymer Battlemags to industry dealers and distributors. These magazines have been involved in a lengthy research and development phase, in which time they have come under severe punishment and testing. They have survived not only loading and feeding evaluations, but also destructive product testing, such as being shot with shotguns, high powered rifles, crushed by vehicles, frozen and baked in extreme temperature ranges. All magazines then functioned flawlessly after the for-mentioned torture tests, and the visual results can been seen on the Troy YouTube video channel. Stephen Troy, Troy Industries President and CEO, declared that the magazines will offer the end-user the most durable and comprehensive magazine on the market today. The CBIR Battlemag is currently offered in a 30-round 5.56mm/.223 version. They are available in black, flat dark earth, OD green, and coyote tan. Every magazine includes a flush and shock absorbing bottom floor plate. Battlemags work flawlessly with all M4, M16, AR-15, HK416, and FN SCAR rifles and carbines. Other features include a proprietary engineered resin, reinforced feed lips, anti-tilt follower, and an aggressive fish scale gripping pattern. You can contact them at Troy Industries, Inc., Dept. SAR, 151 Capital Drive, West Springfield, MA 01089. Phone: (413) 788-4288. Fax: (413) 383-0339.

Based on one of Woolrich&#8217;s most popular traditional jackets, the Dorrington, the Elite Discreet Carry Twill Jacket has a number of tactical features built in. Large, reinforced inner pockets feature integrated holster loops to accommodate concealed carry handguns with up to a 6-inch barrel. A unique double angle on the inner pocket provides ready access to gear, but prevents the pocket from flaring open and exposing the contents. The rear locker loop conceals the entrance to a hidden accessory tunnel, which allows for convenient yet discreet carry of plastic restraints as well as providing routing for electronic wires. Front hand warmer pockets contain internal accessory loops, perfect for carrying spare magazines, flashlights, batons or chemical sprays. These elastic loops are set at a 45-degree angle for optimized access and keep the items secure and in a consistent orientation for rapid deployment. The hip-length waistband and cuffs are fully adjustable and the jacket features a boulder-washed finish for a broken-in feel. The shell is made of 11.5 oz. cotton twill and is lined with a polyester Sherpa liner. Sleeves are insulated with diamond-quilted 60-gram Arctic Insulation.

<p><strong>Desert Tactical Arms Introduces New Suppressors</strong></p>



<p>Desert Tactical Arms developed the DTSS (Desert Tactical Sound Suppressor) to enhance accuracy, repeatability, and minimize impact shift between suppressed and unsuppressed fire. Testing shows consistent accuracy improvements of nearly 0.25 MOA when shooting with a DTSS. The full titanium construction makes the DTSS the lightest .338 caliber silencer on the planet weighing just 1.15 pounds. They offer both steel and titanium suppressors. The DTSS Silencer conveniently installs over the SRS-QD Brake. The baffle design tightens the Suppressor as gases impact the baffles, which prevents the Suppressor from loosening during high volume fire. Many competitors use a ratcheting lock to prevent their cans from loosening. Distance between ratchet teeth allows minor play even when tightened, which will degrade accuracy. DTSS are available in .30 and .338 caliber options and provide a high-to-low compatibility feature that allows the .338 caliber suppressor to attach to both .338 and .30 caliber muzzle brakes and prevents the .30 caliber suppressor from accidentally being installed on a .338 caliber muzzle brake. For more information you can contact them at Desert Tactical Arms, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 65816, Salt Lake City, UT 84165. Phone: (801) 975-7272. Fax: (801) 908-6425.

<p><strong>Ruger Announces New American Made 1911 Pistol</strong></p>



<p>Sturm, Ruger and Company has just announced that it is now manufacturing their first 1911 pistol designated the SR1911. The single-action .45 Auto Ruger SR1911 features a bead-blasted stainless steel frame and slide that is precision CNC machined for a precise slide-to-frame fit. The stainless steel barrel and bushing are produced simultaneously, from the same ordnance-grade barstock, for a precise fit and improved accuracy. The slide features rear cocking serrations and a dovetailed three-dot sight system with a Novak rear sight and standard front sight. The Ruger SR1911 pistol features a titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring, which negates the need for a firing pin block, offering an updated safety feature to the original &#8220;Series 70&#8221; design without compromising trigger pull weight. An extended thumb safety offers improved manipulation and an oversized beavertail grip safety provides positive function and reliability. A visual inspection port offers visual confirmation of a round in the chamber. Positive extraction is facilitated by an improved internal extractor. The plunger tube for both the slide stop and thumb safety is integral to the frame and will never shoot loose. The swedged link pin also will not shoot loose. The SR1911 uses a skeletonized hammer and an aluminum, skeletonized trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop. The Ruger SR1911 features a standard recoil guide system and flat mainspring housing. The Ruger SR1911 grips feature a Ruger logo in checkered hardwood panels. Each pistol is shipped with one 7-round and one 8-round stainless steel magazine, bushing wrench and a soft case. The SR1911 will fit currently available holsters and will retail for $799. For more information you can contact Sturm, Ruger and Company, Inc., 200 Ruger Road, Prescott, AZ 86301.

<p><strong>Steiner Introduces New Predator Xtreme Binoculars</strong></p>



<p>Continuing to produce state-of-the-art optical innovations that outperform its competition, Steiner introduces the new Predator Xtreme roof-prism binoculars, which offer a special proprietary lens coating that filters light and adds contrast at the peak sensitivity range of the human eye. Steiner has been perfecting its high-contrast lens coating for many years and the innovative Dynamic Coating Technology available on the new Predator Xtreme represents the sixth generation of the company&#8217;s exclusive contrast-enhancing optics. Steiner&#8217;s Predator Xtreme binoculars overcome the challenges associated with high-contrast coatings, which previously resulted in decreased brightness, reduced light transmission or altered colors. The Dynamic Coating Technology filters out a small amount of light in the middle of the visible color spectrum, making your eyes more perceptive to certain colors, especially in low-light conditions. The increased perception occurs because the human eye reacts differently to different color wavelengths. The end result is that browns, reds and other wildlife colors found on most game animals pop out against green backgrounds. A new ergonomic design employs a rigid polycarbonate chassis that is extremely durable and waterproof. The binoculars are positively pressure-purged to 14 psi with dry nitrogen and argon gases for absolutely leakage-free performance in all weather conditions. The Predator Xtreme lineup features 8&#215;22, 8&#215;42, 10&#215;26 and 10&#215;42 models. Each binocular comes equipped with a padded travel case, removable neoprene rain-guards for the ocular lenses and objective lens caps. A padded neck strap is included with the 42mm models for comfortable carrying and viewing at all times. Available at retailers nationwide, the suggested retail price for the new roof-prism Predator Xtremes are 8&#215;22 &#8211; $179; 8&#215;42 &#8211; $399; 10&#215;26 &#8211; $199 and 10&#215;42 &#8211; $499.

<p><strong>Steyr Introduces C9-A1 Concealed Carry Handgun</strong></p>



<p>Steyr Arms has announced the introduction of the new C9-A1 pistol, which bridges the gap between a compact carry and full-sized shootability. With its concealable-length slide and barrel of the S-series Steyr pistol, and the hand-filling frame and high capacity of the M-series, the C9-A1 provides the best of both worlds. The new C9-A1 is nearly identical in form and function to other handguns in the Steyr line &#8211; the M-A1 full-size series with its 17-round magazine and the S-A1 compact series with its 3.6-inch barrel. The new C9-A1 also boasts the newly redesigned Reset Action System trigger mechanism. Chambered exclusively in 9x19mm, the new C9-A1 is sure to be a big hit with Steyr pistol aficionados as well as those who are looking for a concealment handgun that provides comfortable ergonomics, low bore axis, remarkable safety features, amazing accuracy thanks to a consistently crisp break, and extreme reliability. The C9-A1&#8217;s full-size polymer frame offers unparalleled ergonomics with a high grip and low barrel axis that mitigates muzzle rise as well as creating a perfect grip angle for a very natural point of aim. The drift-adjustable sights are in the traditional three-dot configuration and a Picatinny rail on the frame&#8217;s dust cover provides availability for mounting illumination and laser-aiming devices. The integrated trigger safety with the newly redesigned Reset Action System trigger requires positive finger pressure to operate the double-action-only mechanism. This striker-fired pistol also incorporates a keyed safety lock. The barrel is cold-hammer forged with conventional rifling, and the chamber is fully supported. The suggested retail price of the C9-A1 is $649. Please contact Steyr Arms, Inc., 7661 Commerce Lane, Trussville, AL 35173. Phone: (205) 655-8299. Fax: (205) 655-7078.

<p><strong>Slide Fire Stock Turns Any AR-15 into an M16</strong><br><br>The new SSAR-15 stock from Slide Fire Solutions turns any AR-15 style rifle into a bump-firing M16 type rifle. The new stock merely replaces the rifle&#8217;s existing collapsible stock and pistol grip. Installation takes about 3 minutes and requires an Allen wrench, which is included with the stock. Slide Fire Solutions&#8217; ground breaking &#8220;Slide Stock&#8221; technology and ergonomic design provide individuals the ability to Slide Fire more safely &#8211; offering another element of entertainment for recreational shooters everywhere. Applying principles that have been used for over 40 years to Bump Fire &#8211; this new radical design ensures the operator can hold the rifle correctly without compromising their own safety or the safety of others around them. Unlike when bump firing from the hip; the SSAR-15 allows the shooter to properly hold the firearm. In addition, as a result of the shooter having to push forward to discharge each round, they are able to correct their point-of-aim for each shot discharged instead of allowing recoil to push the muzzle upward in an unsafe direction. In principal the SSAR-15 functions very similar to the Gatling or crank style firearms. When operating a firearm that uses a crank &#8211; the operator&#8217;s arm moves in continuous motion. The operator moves the crank clockwise and a round is fired. The operator continues to move the crank forward to discharge another round, and so on. With the SSAR-15, the operator moves the upper assembly forward to discharge a round. To discharge the next round the operator must again move the upper assembly forward. Just like when using the Gatling systems, a semi-auto firearm equipped with the SSAR-15 will never fire automatically. Secondary to design, the SSAR-15 has opened other avenues for physically challenged sportsmen to operate their firearms without the need for bulky prohibitive equipment. Individuals that suffer from severe arthritis, partial paralysis, or other conditions that affect their ability to traditionally operate a firearm can now utilize the SSAR-15 and the muscular strength in their entire arm to active the firing mechanism. All SSAR-15 stocks come with a letter of approval from ATF. For more information please contact Slide Fire Solutions, Dept. SAR, P.O. Box 143, Moran, TX 76764. Phone: (325) 945-2356.

<p><strong>Kahr Arms Introduces the CM9 Pistol</strong><br><br>Kahr Arms is pleased to introduce their newest series of Kahr pistols &#8211; the CM series. The new line begins with the Kahr CM9093, which is based on Kahr&#8217;s most popular 3-inch barrel 9mm model the PM9093. The CM Series takes the value priced features from Kahr&#8217;s CW series (3.6-inch barrel 9mm, .40 S&amp;W and .45 ACP models) and incorporates these features into a smaller 3-inch barrel package. The CM9093 has the same external dimensions as the PM9093, which make it ideal for concealed carry by licensed civilians and law enforcement personnel. The CM9093 is chambered in a 9&#215;19 caliber, has a 3 inch barrel and an overall length of 5.3 inches, with a height of 4.0 inches. The pistol weighs in at 14 ounces plus 1.9 ounces for the 6-round stainless steel magazine. Differences between the CM models and PM models include: the CM9093 has a conventional rifled barrel instead of the match grade polygonal barrel on Kahr&#8217;s PM series; the CM slide stop lever is MIM (metal-injection-molded) instead of machined; the CM series slide has fewer machining operations and uses simple engraved markings instead of roll marking; and finally, the CM series are shipped with one magazine instead of two magazines. The black polymer frame features patented 4140 steel inserts molded into the frame in the front and back for added rigidity and strength, which can withstand firing thousands of rounds. Kahr&#8217;s two patents covering the offset recoil lug and the trigger bar attachment allow Kahr&#8217;s barrel to fit lower in the frame, and since there is no hammer, the shooter&#8217;s hand is further up the grip resulting in less felt recoil and quick follow-up shots. The CM9093 does not have a magazine disconnect, nor does it have double-strike capability. The CM9 boasts real sights, which are drift adjustable in the rear and a linepinned-in polymer front sight featuring a white bar-dot configuration. Finally, the slide does lock back after firing the last round &#8211; another feature missing on a number of lower cost compact semiautomatic pistols. The CM9 slide is only .90 inch wide and is machined from solid 416 stainless steel with a matte finish. Each gun is shipped with one 6-round stainless steel magazine with a flush baseplate. Magazines are made in the USA, plasma welded, tumbled to remove burrs and feature Wolff Gunsprings. The magazine catch in the polymer frame is all metal and will not wear out on the stainless steel magazine after many uses. For more information please contact Kahr Arms, Dept.

<p><strong>Wilson Combat has New Rail Interface for AR</strong><br><br>The new T.R.I.M (Tactical Rail Interface, Modular) AR rail has been designed by the Wilson Combat engineering team to be among the lightest, strongest and most versatile compact free-floating rail systems on the market. Machined of high-strength 6005A-T5 aircraft aluminum with a Mil-Spec hard anodized finish, the T.R.I.M. rail handguard/interface and its robust, anti-rotational mounting system doesn&#8217;t sacrifice strength, stability or accuracy over bulkier designs. The oversize and tough nitrocarburized 4130 steel barrel attachment nut reduces heat transfer and the ergonomic handguard design offers a sleek, non-abrasive platform for comfortable dynamic shooting. Light, strong and easy to install, the Wilson Combat T.R.I.M. AR-15 rail interface solves multiple installation issues their gunsmiths have encountered with other rail systems in over 10 years of building thousands of custom AR-15 rifles. The entire T.R.I.M. interface can be easily end-user installed in five minutes with common hand tools and can be quickly removed or replaced with a different length rail interface in the field with nothing more than a hex key. The T.R.I.M.&#8217;s attachment points enable the end-user to quickly position the supplied modular Picatinny rail panel on the attached interface in pre-specified locations. A generous inside diameter of 1.47 inches accepts low profile gas blocks and many of the available piston gas systems. Integral push-button Q.D. sling swivel attachment points are located on both sides of the T.R.I.M. for the ultimate in sling mounting versatility. Three models are available; TRIM 7.3 (Carbine-Length) 7.3&#8243; &#8211; 10.0 oz, TRIM 9.3 (Mid-Length) 9.3&#8243; &#8211; 11.5 oz, TRIM 10.4 (SBR-Length) 10.4&#8243; &#8211; 12.2 oz and the TRIM 12.6 (Rifle-Length) 12.6&#8243; &#8211; 13.9 oz.
